KAPLAN PINS PETE LANDS ON NECK One of hli favorite drop-kicks cost Pew Belcastro. bellicose Italian grap pier, the main event of last night's ll-meinle wrestling program, much to the satisfaction of big Abe ("Chea ty") Kaplan, who used a front body slam to pin his Injured opponent In five minutes for the deciding fall, Belcastro kicked hlmnelf six feet Into the air, missed the 210-pound Jew completely and landed on the back of his neck, an easy victim. Any way you look at It, It was a bad night for the Italian. In the first place Knplan beat him repeatedly over the back of the neck and then applied a couple of wing locks to gain the first fall In less than a min ute, without working up a sweat. Wading Into the "Jewish dent" in a bad temper, Belcastro connected with three beautiful drop-kicks to take the second fall, after a hectic 34 -minute session of wrestling In the raw. Legitimate holds were few ana far between, but on several occasions Pete applied one that had Kaplan puffing like a stenm engine. Cuffing the referee into the cor ner whenever be attempted to break a Boston crab hold, "Awful Al" Kar aslck of Russia defied Plreman Ray Friable a little too long In the semi final, and lost the deciding foil to the Masked Marvel, 314-pound hooded wrestler who did a bang-up Job of pinch-hitting for "Bad Boy" Billy Newman. Promoter LUlard made the substitution when Newman waa unable to appear because of Injuries. Karaslck. Irked to the boiling point with the Masked Marvel's un orthodox eyo-gouglng, "went to town" when he finally secured the crab. He held on grimly, and when Friable attempted to Interfere, swat ted him so hard over the head that It sent the fire-lad die down for nearly the count and gave the "lit tle dictator" an excellent chance to put kinks Into the mysterious mean- le's back. When he finally broke, having been knocked off the helpless Marvel by a thoroughly ruffled Mr. Frlsble, Karaslck disputed Ray's de cision and slugged him again, as well as his Injured opponent. Using a mysterious "pepper" which I he concealed somewhere In his trunks, the Masked Marvel blinded Karaslck with his thumbs to take the first fall In 13 minutes. Frlsble Investigated the "pepper" but was unable to find enough evidence to rule a foul against the dlngulned wrestler, although he did offer the fall to Karaslck on the eye-gouging. But the dwarfish Russian wanted no help from the referee, and sub dued the Marvel with a press to gain the second fall In 11 minutes. Be sides defending himself, especially from the vicious haymakers of the Marvel, Frlsble had a hard time. of It trying to keep these two wrestlers from nearly killing each other. Karaslck was convinced all the way through that the match waa his, and despite his over-time Boston crab, left the ring In a huff while the crowd booed the Marvel, who had added much to a colorful card. LUlard la making arrangement to pit the Masked Marvel Against Abe Kaplan for one of the matches next week. DALLAS. Tony Herrera, 141, B3 Paso, outpointed Eugene Paris, 143, Oklahoma.

It might be a. pleoe of equipment, part of their raiment, or simply some good luck charm. In some Instances they would feel lost without these comforting tokens. Jack Dempsey's famous eweater, tattered and worn In long service, aa indispensable to hie peace of mind. An edd picture the old Mannsa Mauler presented In this ancient style coat sweater with pockets, as he entred the ring to defend his title i for a. purse of half a million dolUr or more. The old garment must have been a relic of his earliest fistic ex periences. You couldn't have driven Jack Into the ring without It. Then there waa Tony Lazaerl with his antique fielder's glove Worn and torn from long, hard usage, it barely clung together on his hand. Do you think Tony would d:ocard It when he came up to the big league with .he Yankees? Indeed, he would not He would most likely still be using It had not Babe Ruth spotted It onu afternoon on his way to bis position In right field. "No wonder you've been making so many errors," Babe roared, and wiV.i a mighty heave tossed the glove Into the crowded grandstand Somen rtr Tony managed to struggle along with e new glove. Mr I hod In Pazzy's Mariners. Poxy old Dazzy Vance hated to part with the old underskirt, even though It was silt from the wrist clear to tne elbow. Just a lucky shirt, the old speed-ball pitcher would explain. Jl discarded It only after the officials decided that the flapping of the torn sleeve disconcerted the batter when Dazzy delivered a ball something the Dauler more than likely knew all ths while. Bobby Jones' famous putter. "Ca lamity Jane," played an Important part In scoring his historic grcnd slam. When Bobby retired from competition he presented the club o the St. Andrews club In Scotland, as a permanent exhibit. He missed his favorite when he tried to match strokes against the field In the Mas ters' tournament last spring.

Harold (Jog) McSpaden. the lankv Kansas youig ster who Is pacing the pro golfing clan along the winter money trails, had to be told. "Jug, you're dead from the ears up!" before he learned under clubbing or slugging w.-th the Irons carried little or no "pay-off." The story is recalled by Joe Math ews, pro at the Mission Hills Country club, where Jug was caddylng about the time Harry Cooper, whom he beat In the San Francisco match play open was maestro at another Kane i City course. "Last summer I played with Jug In a P. Of A. tournament here." ro counts Mathews. "I think I Insult ed him. We both had a chance to finish among the leaders so we were taking unusual care with each shot. There was a strong wind, and on one approach from about 100 yards. I socked a low 5 -Iron shot to the green "What club?" Jug asked. Mathews told him. "Good heavens!" the youngster re plied. "What on earth did you uso a 6-lron for at such a distance?" "To keep away from the lements above me," Mathews came back. McSpaden pulled out a 7-lron. The strong wind carried the bell off to the left, several yard' from the green. "Jug. you're dead from the ears upl" Mathews told nlra. "It was several days before he got over that remark." Mathews recalls, "but he came out to the club one day and yelled, 'I've got It, Pop.

Two business men were visiting a famous resort. One offered to bet the other that he couldn't sell real dollar bills for 50c apiece. The other accepted the challenge and went to work. "How do you do," he said to a passing stranger. "Will you give me 50c for this dollar bill?" The stranger paid no attention. The salesman tried again, and again. But nobedy bought and finally he had to admit that he'd lost his bet. All of which suggests that people like to know who the seller is before they buy.

" So they went out and Jug demonstrated that he bad grasped the crisp. low-flying back pin shots that could be controlled. A few weeks later ha had the lova and Oklahoma open championships hi tha bag and he cruised through '.he Pasadena, Sacramento and San Frm elsoo tournaments this winter to more cash and glory. "He'll make the Ryder cup team this year," Mathews predicted. "From the very Beginning. Jug' major fault was In trying for distance rather than accuracy," Mathews be lieves. "He could lam bast the ball a nvle even In his caddy days here 13 or 13 years ago. All the little fellows usl to stand In amazement at Jug's abil ity to hit 'em so far. "Naturally this impressed Jug, as It would any young caddy, and tills keen desire to smash the ball far re mained Jug's greatest handicap In I'll path to fame and golfing riches." SWIM MARVEL.
