ing Match From Chief
Lidles in the audience fainted and
men Ian Agreed that it waa the moat
exciting outcome In local wrestling
htatory, when Masked Marvel, nooaea
wrestler, waa rushed from the ring at
the armory laat night by a police
escort, aJter starting a riot la which
a score of spectators entered the ring
and beat him nearly unconscious
with chairs before officers restored
order.
The riot 4tar led when the mysteri
ous meanle, having won a fall from
Don Wagner of Corvalll via the fisti
cuff route, assisted the exhausted
Oregon Stater to his feet and then let
him have a punch to the chin. Wag
ner grappled with the hooded wrestler
but wua felled and knocked out by a
chslr, aimed at the Marvel, which
came hurtling over the ropes.
Referee Kay Frlsble had left the
ring after giving the fall to the dis
guised grappler, out rushed back as
the fans surged through the ropes. By
this time Wagner had regained con
sciousness, and was pummelling the
Marvel with Friable trying to pry the
two apart and at the same time ward
off the enraged spectators and thoir
flailing chairs.
Offliers Rehture Order
Moid lug themselves from the seals
that fairly rained Into the ring.
Frlsble, the announcer and several
others protected the grappler, who
were struggling In a heap on the can
vas. Chief of Police McCredle, Offi
cer Walter Rclnking and State Patrol
man Joe Folsom soon restored enough
order to take the Marvel from the
arena.
Bruised and terrified, he was locked
In a dressing room until the crowd
of nearly 1000 fans calmed down and
filed from the building. He waa not
put under arrest, but members of the
boxing commission said last night hi
may be barred from future appear
ances here.
Don Wagner, the favorite through
out the rough and tumble match,
fared ulmont as badly as the mystery
man. It was no light tap that he
received on the back of the head
when the chair struck him.
Wagner was given the match, which
lasted IB minutes, after refusing to
take a fall on fouls just before the
bellicose Marvel added Insult to in
Jury with his fateful punch to Wag
ner's chops. The clip was too much
for the fans who took their wrestling
more seriously. Having already seen
the hooded wrestler gouge eyes, pull
hair, and take several vicious swings
at the referee, they needed no further
excuse to go after the disguised
roughneck.
Murvel Terrified
Thoroughly scared, the Marvel was
grateful for the protection of the
police, after he found that he was
not under arrest. The fact that he
may be barred from Medford left no
Impression; he said he has already
been barred from 33 states I
In comparison with this melee, the
first match of the program was piti
fully tame. Jimmy Healy of San
Francisco surprised the fans and
even surprised himself by winning
two straight falls from "Chief"
Stronfibow, giant 276-pound Shawnee
Indian.
The Indian, highly touted for rough
and tumble mat work, was pointed to I

The world knows Sir Malcolm Campbell as the fastest human on
wheels. But there is another side to this blue-eyed magician against
time It waa Sir Malcolm, the man, not the speed demon, who listened.
spoke and altogether proved himself to be a human being of rare qualities.
Pointing to the British and Ameri
can flags painted In friendly embrace
his great Juggernaut, the Blue
bird, Sir Malcolm declared.
"Better understanding and appre
ciation of America and Britain, by
one and the other, strikes me as be
ing the most Important thing in our
world today, ir wo stand together
the world must follow our lead. And,
after all, that closer relationship be
tween us should not be too difficult.
"We speak the same language. Most
of our national Ideals are one and the
same. We spring from the same
stock. What a grand thing It would
be if we as Britons could come to
better understand you Americans and
your remarkable cordiality, hospital
ity and klndncns. At the Hnme time
I wish It were poaslblo for Ameri
cans to better understand us In Eng
land. -
"It Is regrettable, but true I be
live, that most of your countrymen
who come to England leave us
with the Idea that we are what you
call 'high hat. We really are not.
A Wince of Persons
"We Britishers are not any more
friendly with other Britons who are
unknown to us than we are with
Americans. Therefore, It Is not strange
that our reserve- also asserts Itself
with Americans even though we
would delight in getting vastly better
acquainted with our cousins on this
side of the Atlantic."
In that contention, Sir Malcolm
practices what he preaches. To news
paper men; bothersome dowagers
who tell him they are praying for his
safety and success with the Blue
bird: persistent urchins who tag him
at every step for autographs; In fact,
to the whole world of persons who
dog his steps on this side of the At
lantic, Sir Malcolm la always the at
tentive, courteous and friendly sort
of person which makes him a prince
of men tin well as speed.
There Is No Celling
Asked whether there was a limit
to a man's speed on land, Sir Mai
colmn asserted that if given a per
fect runway, beach or course, there
was absolutely no question In his
mind that any speed Is possible. He
said the Bluebird, as It stands. Is
capable of 335 miles an hour. But,
he adds, there Is no course where
such speed can be established.
"I could return to England tomor
row and build a car capable of going
more than 400 miles per hour. Of
that, I am sure. If I had the time
and money. But to date there is no
place where one could drive that
fast."

to the air and flattened him with

the second fall he applied a toe hold
with such vigor that Strongbow.
shaking like a tub of Jcllo, was forced

Besides outweighing him 65 pound.-,

OLD BOW BAN
NEVER RELEASED
BRISTOL. Eng. ( AP) When Sir
Francis Drake abandoned his game of
bowls upon the green at Plymouth
Hoe and sailed forth to defeat he
Spnnlsh Armada, he probably was not
aware that he had been breaking the
law right and left.
W. S. A. Brown, a Bristol lawyer.
in the course of researches among
dusty tomes of English law. has Just
discovered that the game "f bowls is
illegal and punishable by a term In
jail.
In the 13th and 14th centuries."
he said, "the game of bowls was be
coming too popular and came under
the ban of both king and parlia
ment, because It was Jeopardizing
the science of archery, which was. of
course, necessary to carry on wtvitf.
Therefore sundry statutes were pass
ed prohibiting the game in the reigns
of Edward III snd Richard II. and
other monarch, in 1555, Queen
Mary decided the game incited and
allowed unlawful ssembHrw. sedi
tions and conspiracies.
"Those statutes have never been
repealed."

Steve Welmer, better known as

champion, boxing promoter, movie

man, arrived in Medford yesterday
with the avowed intention of at
tempting to revive boxing in this city,
and to promote a good baseball team
for participation in any league that
acts as though they mlRht want to
take some good thrashlnges from the
"Sailor's" outfit.
Accompanied by his sixth wife,
Sharkey says this Is the first time
that he has been In Medford, but he
expects to be in the swim of things
before long. He boasts a long and
successful movie career, having play
ed In such pictures as "The Sea
Beast." with John Barrymore, and
the "Isle of Forgotten Men."
At one time the "Sailor," a Chi
nook Indian, was light heavyweight
boxing champion of the TJ. S. navy,
and since that time has managed
some good fighters. He has been all
over the globe and crossed the Amer
