LETNERS TO MEET
'WILDCAT
IN
Sad Sam Lethers, fast and loose
grappler from Dallas, Texas, will meet
George "Wildcat" Wilson, ex-all Am
erican halfback from University of
Washington, In one of the douole
main-event matches on next Thurs
day's card at the armory. Promoter
Mack LlUard stated today In a tele
phone conversation from Klamath
Falls. Al Karaalck, Russian Lion, and
Adolph "Hitler" Herman. German
muscle-mangier, will grapple in the
other one-hour match.
With the selection of Lethers to
meet the ex-all American, It is the
common belief that one of the best
combinations of the year has been
signed up. Lethers has skyrocketed
into popularity here in the last three
weeks, during which he has won
three straight main-event matches,
exhibiting some of the cleverest, fast
est and spectacular wrestling on the
coast. His rubber legs are a constant
threat to an opponent,, and a source
of highly amusing entertainment to
the audience.
Wilson has recently taken all Cali
fornia by storm, and Is rated as one
of the best wrestlers In the game. He
employs the dangerous sonnenberg.
among other spectacular tricks of
the ring.
A circus event Is promised in the
other bout, Karaalck versus Herman,
as this combination brings together
two colorful grapplers. Both are un
hesltant about roughing It up, and
ate old timers of the grip and grimace
profession, who should fill out a per
fect card of high class mat-work.
Promoter Llliard has brought to
Mecitord some of the best talent avail
able this season, with this week's
card bringing the list to a new high,
and threatening to break last Thurs

A brilliant recovery by the Chicago
Cubs has revived Interest In the Na
tional league race and left the Cubs
with a good chance to stage another
comeback In the coming home stand
against the east.
Five games behind the league-lead
ing Giants after losing the first two
games of a series to St. Louis, the
Cubs regained a full game yesterday
by beating the Cardinals 7 to 2 and
6 to 4 In a double-header while New
York's game against Boston v
halted by rain. In addition the Cubs
performed In one day a feat which
only two other cluba have accom
plished nil season. They beat both
the Dean brothers.
Paul Dean, the younger, was the
opening game victim as Billy and
Babe Herman nicked him for a hom
er apiece in the fifth, and he failed
to survive the next frame. Brother
Dizzy waged a close battle against Pat
Malone for seven Innings of the after
piece but was blasted out In the
eighth when Chicago put together a
triple, two doubles and a single for
four runs. It was his fifth defeat
against 21 victories.
The Pirates defeated the Reds, 8-6,
In the only other National league
game yesterday.
Detroit's Tigers, who have won so
many games by late rallies that it
has developed into a habit, did the
trick again In the tenth inning to
prolong their winning streak to 12
games and increase their American
league lead over the Yankees to 4'a
games. The Cleveland Indians were
the victims and the final score was
6 to S.
The Yankees helped attract a rec
ord crowd at Boston but failed to get
more than an even break with the
Red Sox. While 4G.766 fans looked on
and about 20.000 more couldn't get
Into the park, Boston won the first
game 6-4. New York came back to
take the second game 7-1 behind the
seven-hit flinging of bespectacled
Johnny Broaca.

his own announcement, was making
his last appearance as a regular In
