'PTGE FOUR MEDFORD HAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY, a.TJCUST 16. 1935. IORX IN BATTLE ROYAL OF MATARTISANS Belcastro Put Out by Soos Karasick Out Early Sam and Hubka Combine Forces to Flatten Soos With 3,000 pop-eyed fani filling every seat, spilling over Into the standing room, and literally clinging from the rafters at the Armory last night, Bad Bam Lethers emerged vic torious In the first battle-royal ever held here, sadder than ever, and firmly convinced that his next entry Into such a mess will be made only when he's armed with a dueling pistol. Five of the toughest wrestlers on the coast, each one a headllner In every wrestling center west of the Rockies, In the ring, and with big BUI Morgan and the husky Ray Prls ble acting as arbiters, the quintet provided three minutes of the fastest action ever seen here and no one In town yet knows what happened, and no one ever will. At the opening gun. Fete Belcastro was In his favorite dark corner, with Johnny Boos In the other black stall. Between that post and the white corner was Joe Hubka, with Sad Bum In the white corner, and the Russian Lion, Al Karaslck, at the other pale post. Boos Wnn "It" Bofore the fight It was generally understood that the fighters intend ed "ganging' Soos. He knew this, and for once the dope bucket was right. Determined to take at least one good punch At Belcastro before the pack tore him to shreds, Soos dynamited out of his corner at Pete, who seem ed Intent on charging across the ring at Hubka. Just before Boos marie contact, Pete whirled, leaped high, and planted one of the most terrific blasts ever delivered from his train ed feet, directly at Soos' head, knock ing hlm In a high arc, from where he cart-wheel rd Into a corner, tem porarily out of the running. Pete then tangled with Hubka, Whq was giving him an Interesting evening while Sad Snm leaped upon Karaslck, promptly clamping him In a punishing rolling scissors which was not to last long, as the wiry Russian whirled him over. Blows fell freely In the wild mclca, and kicking In the face, biting, and scratching kept the two refs so busy that they themselves took a terrific pummellng. While Karaslck and Lethers were entertaining each other In one cor ner of the ring, Pete was having a desperate struggle with Hubka, the PACIFIC mm (MM ADDITIONAL SERVICE To CALIFORNIA Leave Medford . . . 10:10p.m. Arrive Sacrnmonto . . 0:00 a.m. " , San Francisco 12:20 p.m. " Los Angoles . 10:25p.m. In Addition to the 4 OTHER DAILY DEPARTURES ADDITIONAL SERVICE TO PORTLAND Leave Medford . . . 8:50 p.m. Arrive Grants Pass . 9:42 p.m. Roscburg . . . 12:25 a.m. " Eugene .... 2:40 a.m. " Portland . . . 6.15 a.m. In Addition to the 4 OTHER DAILY DEPARTURES LOW FARES Depot Central and Eighth ruoiii': :tu'.t powerfully built Nebraskan tying him up in arm ban and scissor spreads, while Soos buzzed around the outskirts, dumping the pair often In an effort to work Belcastro Into an advantageous position for the coupe-de-grace. Pete Put Out His opportunity came when Hubka waa forcing Pete to his knees In a death-like arm bar. Selecting a ten der looking portion of the back of Be I castro's neck. Boos came down with ft whistling, crunching blow that seemed to paralyze the big Ital ian completely, Soos then pinning him for the count, whereupon he was rolled from the ring, and the fight went wildly on. In the meantime Lethers and Hubka hod diverted all their attention to the always danger ous Karaslck, and had tied him up with a figure-four, one hanging des perately onto his legs, while the other scissored his wiry shoulders onto the canvas. Referee Morgan promptly ruled the veteran out. Angered to the point of madnesa, Al made a bull-like lunge at the "Judge" felling the big man like a polled ox, while Hubka and Lethers started merrily after Soos. Morgan, at first apparently In tent on taking a swing at Karaslck. but then changing his mind, pushed the "little giant" through the ropea and gave his attention to the re maining three, Lethers, Hubka and Soos. The two older men of the ring made short work of the obstreperous youngster, Lethers Immediately lock ing him up in a full Nelson, with his toes Just scraping the mat. Trussed up like a Christmas turkey, Soos was helpless as a new born babe, with a vast expanse of mld-rlff ex posed to the pitiless Sonnenberg that Hubka, streakltng across the ring off the ropes, threw Into his body. Both Soos and Lethers went down tn a heap, the former gasping for air hut still battling. Itepeat Action In a twinkling, the long Lethers had clamped another Nelson on him. hauled him to his feet, and again held him plttllessly open for the sec ond knlfe-Uke thrust from Hubka's racing body which landed with a sickening thud, and gnsp from ev ery spectator In the crowded house. But the third time Hubka rico cheted off the ropes Into Soos' wide open body waa too much, and the game little Indiana scrapper was through for the evening, after ab sorbing the three most terrific lunges ever seen here. That was three minutes after the opening gong, and the story doesn't pretend to Include everything mat happened in that devastating whirl wind of action. After a five minute rest Hubka and Lethers returned to finish the match for the honors., After some wild pulling and hauling. trading of holds and groaning. Sad Sam pinned Hubka to the aalloloth wtih a body press to take the match. Just 29 minutes after the opening whistle. 1 In the preliminary, Curly Woods, popular Medrord lightweight, took some of the meanness out of Joe Onrtlcnler of Tncoma. after the north erner had thumped him Tesoundlngly in the ribs with his foot, and then fled outside the ropes. He ploked a poor place to go out, se loo ting a cor ner, and the fast-tlrlng Woods leap ed onto the ring post, clamped a hend scissors on his dome, and haul ed him back Into tho arena over the ropes, gaining leverage by the Judic ious use of Gardenler's ears, and then pinning him for the count. Morgan proved a popular rereree In this match when he whooshed I Onrdenler onto his shoulder blades for trvlng to kick Woods as he climbed Into the ring after missing a flying butt. According to Promoter Llllard this! moitilug, none of the five participants are willing to 'ever enter another bnttle-royal.

The rashest of all was the declar ation that If Promoter Llllard will put him In the ring alone with Soos he will detach the 8oos flesh from the Sooos bones piece-meal, and If he falls In that will forfeit tlOO cash, posted beforehand with the Mall Tribune, to be given to charity. Asked If he would put up his Junlor-heavywelght belt as the stake, Belcastro absolutely refused to do that, declaring that he would rather lose the hundred bucks than the belt, his most prised possession. Soos has not yet agreed to the match, but It Is believed that he will not be adverse to the proposition. Belcastro "took' him In their only other match, and Soos didn't like It. Besides, he thinks he can take Pete hands down In a two man encoun ter, and sneers at Pete's allegation that he hit the Italian when he wasn't looking. "Those other two guys hit me when Z was looking, but a lot of good that did me." The bout would be a natural, both boys being famous for rough tactics and unusual holds, and neither likes the other. Next Thursday will be "army" night, with a reserved section set aside for the 150 men and officers who will be here for the bombing school. As a feature of the occasion, Llllard has signed "Marine" Kennls ton, an ex-service man with a rep utation for fnst ring strategy. Ken nlston's opponent has not yet been selected, but It will probably be one of the five men In the battle-royal last night. The rest of the card Is still indefinite, Llllard stated.
