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

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

but then changing his mind, pushed
the "little giant" through the ropea
and gave his attention to the re

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.

Soos was helpless as a new born babe,

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.

racing body which landed with a
sickening thud, and gnsp from ev

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

In the preliminary, Curly Woods,

some of the meanness out of Joe

ANGRY BELCASTRO
AT
Pete Belcastro, volatile Italian
wrestler who was "cooled last night
In the battle -royal melee at the
Armory by Johnny Soos, who doesn't
seem to like Pete, saw refit last night,
after he finished seeing stars, and
made a few rash statements.
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.
