PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE. MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 1934. IN DECIDING FALL Limber Lethers Looks Like Lillard's Choice for Match With Savoldi Pete Bel castro Flops Pat McGill It look as though "Sad" Sam Let hers, 209-pound grappler from Dallas, Texas, will wrestle "Jumping Jos" Savoldi, ex-Notro Dame grid star, her soon Last night In the second bout of the double main event at the Armory, tho supple Texan wrapped his long legs around giant Rube Wright, 238-pound muscle mangier from Los Angeles, to take two out of three falls with rock lng-chalr sclaaora. The mammoth Callfornlan started the scoring with an airplane head scissors after 21 minutes of gruelling m&twork on the part of both grap piers, but the lanky Texan's legs were too much for Wright from the start, Wright showed power and speed, but the Dalles man could take every thing he had to offer except the spec tacular airplane scissors, which came after two other crunching squeezes. "Sad" Sam came back to win the second fall in 12 minutes, after bring. lng Wright to the canvas all wrapped up in a pair of Ironlike pedal ex tremltles. The 235-pounder broke one of the Texan's favorite leg hold, however, the figure-four head scl sors. earlier in the canto. An airplane spin at the start of the third failed to faze the tall Dalits man, who applied another figure-four, this time to be broken as a strangle hold. The tall and the broad of the ring then exchanged a few rounds of slugging before the final rocking chair went Into action. Pete Bel cast ro, 190, wildcat grap pler from Sacramento, made his re turn to the local mat a spectacular one last night, pounding and klckinc his way to a two-out-of-three fall victory over Pat McOIlI, also 198, Omaha, Nob., youth. The belligerent Italian took the odd fall In nine min utes with a body press. Just 25 seconds after the starting gong, Belcastro had the bewildered MoOlll clamped to the canvas after a Tapid-flre aeries of Savoldl's famous drop-kicks, which took the eastern boy totally unaware. Pete missed another drop-kick at the start of the second, and Med 111 clamped on a key-lock. Belcastto came off the ropes when he missed his final leg thrttst of the match, nnd was promptly clamped down for the count. The deciding fall came In nine minutes, with the belligerent Pete on the top side of a body press nt'fcree Billy Newman of Denver made a decided hit with the fans who packed the Armory last night, and was a highlight of the Belcastro- McOill show, tangling with whichever grappler failed to obey his word. That he got in Bel castro's hair Is puttln.T It mildly, but the outcome of the feud may be seen in the future, as Newman promptly accepted the Ital ian's challenge to any heavyweight in the northwest. Promoter Mack Llllard has a few more grapplers to use In sorting out a good opponen t for Sa void 1 , with Al Karaslck still In the running, but the elimination rounds are rapidly drawing to a point.

( UP) Showmanship reached a high point at a recent wrea'. lln match here when a partlcula'ly toliKh grappler Jerked the top off a ring post and belabored his opponent with It. The crowd's boos turned to laughter, however, when the touh one dropped bis weapon. It bounced abMu the ring floor as harmlessly as It had bounced off the opponent's skull. It was made of rubber.

By JACK CUDDY (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, Aug. 3. (UP) Nego tiations were opened today to match Primo Camera and Ray Impellettlere for a "battle of giants" at Madison Square garden in October. This bout between the world's two largest heavyweights would mark Car- nera'a first step along the comeback trail after losing the title to Maxlc Baer on June 14. It would add an other encounter to the elimination series to determine a challenger for Baer next summer. Also, It would resurrect Impellet tlere, the colossus of Cold Springs, N. Y., from the pugilistic graveyard to which he was virtually consigned af ter dropping decisions during the In door season to fading Tommy Lough ran and rising Walter Meusel. "I think this bout will go through," Promoter Jimmy Johnston said today, after talking with both managers. "And I think It will pack the garden. Fans like to see big fellows In action, well, you can't get them any bigger Camera stands 6 foot 6, and Impeliet tlere, a foot 7'a. Each weighs about 2S0 pounds. It's a natural from every angle." "Impellettlere blew up because he couldn't breath," said Johnston. He had a dislocated cartlidge in the back of his ribs, from training. Every time he took a deep breath, he felt as if someone stuck a knife Into his lungs. I don't know how he showed so well against Lough ran or lasted 10 rounds with Meusel in that condition."

(AP) The swanky Exmoor Golf club In Highland park fought off the spread of nudism today. The nudists, about a score of them, romped over fairways and greens and splashed around in the water hazards. to the consternation of the golfers. It was the caddies' movel way of striving for more pay, and the climax of their strike. Earlier yesterday they had demand ed more money at once. One hun dred and sixty of -them dropped bags they had been carrying and met at the clubhouse. They turned cold shoulders to pro posals that they wait until a field of 200 members and their guests com pleted the mixed foursome play. Pickets were pressed into action, and no bags were hoisted, even by the golfers. One golfer solved the problem. "Why not take only two clubs, and play anyway?" The plan meeting unanimous ap proval, the foursomes started out. Presently, a woman took a care ful stance to drive across a deep water hazard. A nude figure flitted past her, an other, then another. She left the course. Other golfers came and went, the same way. A call to the police brought offi cers who shooed the strikers into their clothes and off the course. The caddies demand a flat fee of for 18 holes and 60 cents for nine holes.

EX-BIG LEAGUER L Medford Rogues and the Shaw Ber tram Lumber company teams will complete their Southern Oregon league schedule when they clash at the fairgrounds Sunday at a :30. Out come of the game will have no bear ing on the standings of the teams, as first place has been cinched by the Grants Pass nine. The game will, however, give local fans opportunity to look over a for mer major league star In the person of "Swede"' Rlsberg, former Chicago White Sox shortstop, who was black listed as a result of the 1919 world's series scandal. He Is now managing the Klamath Falls team and holding down the second base position. His game is still of big league caliber, as he had not lost the batting eye that made American league pitchers fear him In former years, nor has he lost his knack of fielding ground balls.

The Shaw Bertram team, although holding down the cellar position. Is one of the strongest teams in the league. Of the three games lost by Grants Pass, two were to the Shaw Bertram squad, yet the lumbermen have been unable to win from Ewauna or the Rogues. Bob Smith,, a southpaw, recently Imported from Portland, will be on the mound for the Invaders, while Jack Hughes will pitch for the Rogues and attempt to break their four-came losing streak.
