" - ttl A 1 BELCASTRO, WOLFE SEEN AS NATURAL Dynamic Italian Faces Sup ple Texan in Main Go Stecher and Olson in ' Semi-Final of 3 Ply Card On of thou "natural bouU In which anything It liable to happen la ached uled for the grip and grimace arena at the Armory tonight when Wildcat Pte BelCMiro. the Italian klcker-upper, meets supple Lee Wolfe of Texas in the main event 01 triple -deck card. Bel c astro la substituting for Sailor -ranis, who tried to get tough with the wild Italian, according to word received here, In a recent match at BelltnRham. and auffered a broken arm when booted out of the ring by one of Pete's devatatlng leg punches. The substitution, which greatly pleased Promoter LUlard and the lo cnl "rasslln' " fraternity, will un doubtedly result In a better match. for wherever Pete Is there Is bound to be action. The Italian has been seen many times In Med ford, but never before has he been stacked up seat nut opponent as slippery and wiry as the slender Texan. As was proved here last week when he de feted Joe Hubka of Nebraska, Wolfe seemingly ta tire lee, and his rubbery, speedy legs promise no end of trouble for the ras cally Italian. Promoter LI I lard announced today that Al Kara dick, the Russian Lion, and Joe Hubka have both challenged the winner. Karaslck having recently returned to the north w wit. More thrills and spills are slated In the 45-mJnute seml-flnal when Al Stecher, bfg-tlme Canadian grappler. tangles with Herman Olson, stocky Swede, who represented his -country In the recent International mat tour nament at Los Angeles. Stecher and Olson made their de but here last week, each defeating his opponent and proving his metal. They are being pointed to furnish a goodly amount of explosives, via both scientific and unorthodox grappling. Johnny Boos, who was unable to appear last week because of a foot Injury, Is back In shape and sched uled to meet Babe Smollnskl of Po land In the 30-mlnute or one-fall opening contest. Both these grap plers are noted for their meanle mat work. Fireman Ray Friable will be third man In the ring. I Wants Top Spot Al R teener (above) former middle weight champion grappler of Canada, Is so confident that he la capable enough for a main event appeurance, that he promises to make short work of Herman Olson, grappling ffwede, In the 4H-mlnute seml-flnal of to night's wrestling card. In the hope that the promoter will bill him high er In the limelight In the future. BLACK DYNAMITER STEALS SPOTLIGHT P Louis Focal Point for Bally hoo Since Spectacular Defeat of Camera Go With Baer Seen Sure count for the sudden reversal of form which left Baer's supporters disap pointed and wondering what It was all about. Aa a matter of fact Boer displayed ) great earnestness or Interest In winning for the most part of the bout. Braddock la not a great champion and hardly will improve as time goes on. but for the most remarkable comeback In ring history he deserves all the credit and compensation that goes with the winning of the world's heavyweight championship. 13 PORT SLANTS -hu Pan- Jimmy Braddock climbed up to the heavyweight throne the hard way. His trail to the highest prise the box ing ring has to offer carried him through over 80 battles; a record gen erously sprinkled with defeats 23 In all. Supposedly shop-worn and at the end of his ring career a year ago he embarked on a comeback effort which carried him to the heavyweight championship. A few moments after he had defeated Corn Griffin to start his amazing comeback Max Bier, whom he defeated for the title, as cended the heavyweight throne by punching out a smashing victory over the giant Prlmo Camera. To his everlasting credit It must be admitted that Braddock was ready for and equal to the golden oppor tunity when It presented Itself. The new champion followed a well eon eel ved plan of battle against Baer and piled up an early lead with a neat left Jab. Braddock held his own with Bner on those rare occasions when the former tltleholder let go a flurry of punches. Took The Sunday Punch After the third round, when Baer landed his crushing right flush on Braddock'a jaw with no apparent ef fect, the New Jersey veteran gained in confidence and clinched the vic tory by taking the 13th and 14th rounds. Braddock'a victory waa most pop ular with the 30,000 fans present at the Miidlson Square Garden bowl, for even hts stanchest admirers were not optimistic enough, to hope for more than a good showing. Those who attended In the hope of seeing another display of fireworks such as Baer turned loose against Max Schmellng and Camera were dis appointed. When Max stepped out or his character and tried to box he fin ished a poor second to Braddock. In the altogether too Infrequent punch ing rallies he staged, his blows lack ed ateam and either bounced harm lessly of Braddock'a shoulder or were robbed of their power when Jimmy rolled with them. Braddock moved from Baer's rltiht to left all through the fight and In doing so he rode with the blow that was Intended to crush him to the canvas for the count In any round Opt tv h nine. Most of the (line, too. Braddock managed to stay in close where Baer could not bring his long sweeping right hand punch Into play. An Ailing Mantle Judging solely from the sparing use Max made of his ir.oet formldaole weapon, hla right hand. It ts easy to believe the stories of the Injured hand which emanated from his train ing camp mlk'lit have been trtte. This talk of an Injured hand la not Intended as an alibi for Baer's de feat nor Is it Intended to detrwl from the fine victory scored by Brad dock. It la merely an aflurt u ac-. PORTLAND, Ore., June 27. (AP) Man Mountain Dean, S17 pounds did not need his allotted one hour in which to throw his two opponents here last night. He took about four minutes to turn the trick. Hans xsauer. a.) -pound ew YorKer, suc cumbed In 10 seconds, followed lesa than four minutes by Tony Catallno. 210, Chicago. Dean took both falls by dropping on top his opponents. Hans Stelnke, 230-pound giant from Germany, defeated Jaggat Singh, 237, India, with such force in 12 mlnut.es, 44 seconds, that Singh waa unable to resume. Stelnke used body slams and presses to take the fall. Harry Kent, Hlllsboro, took two rounds to win from Jim Maioney. Joe Parelll, Italy, and Murine Ja cobs, Portland, drew, parelll added rest to the affair by tackling Referee Chet Wiles. The referee took the de cision. NEW YORK, June 37. (AP) In leas than two week and with lesa than two dozen paralyzing punches, Joe Louis has forced a sharp re vision of the fistic picture. Whether or not Louts gets a "shot at the title, the "Brown Bomber" from Detroit has taken the heavy' weight headlines from the people's choice for champion, James J. Brad dock. He la today the focal point around which all the dickering, ma neuverlng and ballyhoo will be cen tered for some time to come. The 21-year-old negro has suddenly be come "tops" as a pugilistic box-ol-flee attraction for one big reason hla knockout punch. Insiders feel certain Max Baer will fight Louis this September In New York despite talk that the former champion's damaged hands may force him to quit the ring. The reason Is that the Baer-Lou Is match la ex pected to draw nearly $750,000 by filling either the Yankee stadium or the Polo Grounds. Baer may decide his hands can't weather a comeback, but he will no doubt consider the fact that he can collect more money by fighting Louts than he did for his two title bouts with Camera and Braddock com bined. Meanwhile Joe Jacobs, manager of Max Schmellng, told Mike Jacobs, promoter of the 20th Century club, and no relation, he would bring Schmellng back to the United States for a match with Louis in Septem ber. Mike told Joe It could be ar ranged, If Baer withdrew from the picture. Otherwise the German might be offered a bout with the winner of the Bner-Louis affray. Schtnellug's tie-up with the 20th Century club would leave Madison Square Garden holding the bag again for a heavyweight title match next year. The Garden has Champion Braddock tinder contract, but the rival organization has all the top notch contenders. The fact that the Carnera-Loula bout outdrew the Bner-Braddock title ! match nearly 2 to 1 has convinced all concerned that the heavyweight : crown no longer means what it once did from the box-office standpoint, j I HOW THEY STAND.
