IN DECIDING FALL

It look as though "Sad" Sam

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.

(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."

STRIKING CADDIES STRIP
TO ENFORCE HIGHER PAY
CHICAGO, Aug. 3. (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.
On a recent Invasion of Klamath
Falls by the Rogues, Rlsberg was
signed for the game by Manager Hal
Halght and praeticalfy won the game
single handed for the Medfordltea, by
bangfng out four Bafe hits In six times
at bat.
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.
Sunday, August 12. & team composed
of southern Oregon stars, will meet
an all-star team from the Northern
California league at the fair grounds,
with a return game the following
Sunday at Yreka. Players for the team
will be drawn from Gold Hill, Jack
sonville, Medford and Klamath Falls.
The game will give valley fans an
opportunity of Judging the caliber
of ball played In the two respective
leagues.
