i PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFUKU. OREGON, MONDAY, JANUARY 7, 1935 9 9 Z QAYW 9 ATM THIS WEEK'S CARD Pet Belcaatro, scrappy Italian grappler. who has twice emerged winner from bout with Red Devil, the mysterious meanle, will appeur In the main event of next Thurs day nlght'i card at the armory agatn&i Tony Catalano, another Ital ian who like his wrestling rough, Promoter Mack LI Hard announced today. With this bout "In the . bag." and promising even a wilder tussle than either of the two between Red Devil and Belcaatro, Ullard has gone one further and secured Jimmy High, 300-pound Chicago matman, for an appearance In the seml-flnal against Joe Hubka, popular ex-nth-lete from University of Nebraska. The main event should furnish wild one hour or two out of three falls, If the brand of wrestling Catalano demonstrated here two weeks ago was a prevue of what this boy Is capable of. He lost the match on fouls to Joe Hubka, but during the tussle he turned loose more fireworks than have been seen in some time at the armory arena The rough type of bone-bending is right down Belcastro's alley, how ever, and the 6acramentan usually has one better for every bit of foul play that a rlngmate tries to pull on him. Contrast, always popular on wrest ling cards, will be In order Thurs day night, for the seml-flnal match promises a show of scientific wrest ling. Hubka has already demonstmt ed his clean, clever mat tactics. and High, a newcomer to the coast, is touted as even a gi-eator exponent of the fast and fancy. Hubka nas come out of both his appearances here with moat of the honors, and fans will be glad to see him matched sgnlnst 'a good man of his own type. Red Devil, who lost his mask when he fouled Belcaatro, but remained unidentified as far as local fans and wrestlers are concerned. Is in another green rage according to the promoter and la anxious to rein state himself after what he terms the "dirty deal" of last Thursday's bout. j PORT SLANTS -h u Pao wn WITH HOT FINAL ROUND RIVERSIDE. Cal., Jan. 7. (T) Charles Quest. Los Articles, had i onrd of 85 strokes posted here today for the rest of the wayfaring golfers to shoot at In the winter tournament tour. A driving range pro. Quest set this up yeeterdsy In the final round of the Riverside $3,000 amateur-pro golf tournament as he and his partner. Al Barbee, Hollywood, turned In a great best ball score of 63. 10 strokes under par. to win the title. While Barb pe had to be content with Aie trophy, he aided Quest by three strokes In pirklng up a totnl of 9303.50 prine money. Quest wm the low scorer of the tournament because he shot a 00 Saturday when he and Barbee enmo In with a 63 beNt ball. Tied for second yentrertay were Jimmy Thomson, Long Beach, teamed with Phil Plnlay, high-ranking south ern California amateur, and Bryan Nelson. Tcxarkaua. Texas, paired with Lieut. Bob Israel, mi aviator at Ma:ch Field, to turn In 04a. Those German promoters who lured Stevt Hamas to Berlin to meet Max Achmellng have stolen the only fair heavyweight bout Madison Square Garden had In sight for Its winter bout In Miami. So the proposed visit of Jack Pet ersen, English heavyweight champion, may prove a llfesaver If It mate rializes. A match with Bob Olln. light heavyweight tltleholder, would have an International, championship flavor. Having knocked out Larry Gains, Jack Doyle, Len Harvey, Jack Petti fer, George Cook and Don McCor kin dale on his way to the English heavyweight throne, Petersen Is look tng toward our shores. Petersen Is considered the cleverest big man de veloped In England since Bombardier Wells. A better puncher than Wells, he has shown, too, that ha can stand a punch better than the famed Bom bardier. For all his cleverness and punch though, It Is very doubtful If Peter sen could be expected to cope with the heavyweights In the proposed elimination tournament, for he would have to concede considerable weight to most of our big boxers. Lacks Necessary Weight. A little fellow in comparison with our present crop of heavies, be is hardly more than a light heavyweight, tipping the scales at less than 180 pounds. However, he la tall and may add a few pounds to his frame before he stops growing. The one thing sgalnst his chances for great Improvement Is his poor eyesight. Petersen 'has stopped a few big boys, George Cook and Don McCork- Indale for Instance, but on the whole most of his vicltlms have been little more than overgrown middleweight and llght-heavles. McCorklndale show ed himself to be a fair boxer when he fought here last winter. The present Idol of the English box Ing fans Is anxious to come to Amer ica to enrn a shot at the heavyweight crown now worn by Mnx Baer, but the folks In England would like to see him In action against a couple of our first light heavyweight before venturing a try at our heavies. Petersen would find plenty of op portunlty here for the stage Is set for the entrance of some youns heavyweight who packs a punch and can fight. Br Ushers Popular Here. Jimmy Johnston 'matchmaker for the MHdlson Square Garden) seems to have some sort of soft spot In his heart for English heavyweights. You may recall he Imported on Phil Scott from England and djd right well for Mr. Scott and Mr. Johnston even though the cash customers were not thrilled by his efforts to entertain them. Scott's exhibition with Jack Shar key In Miami set a new low in heavy weight boxing entertainment. SHIRLEY WATCHES 'OPERATION CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 7.
