PAGE TWO MEDFORD MATL TRTBUNW. MEDFOUD, OREGON, MONDAY, APRIL 13, 1936. Belcastro Facing Tough Test in Match With Speedy Arab Tonight CLEVER BOYS 10 GRAPPLE IN MAIN EVENT OF CARD Fete Belcastro, Pacific const Jun ior heavyweight wrestling champion, meets one of the severest tests of bis career tonight when he clashes with Prince Bltlkl Ibn All Hassan Mlhalskls In the main event at the Armory. The flashy Italian has been In rigid training In Klamath county In preparation for a struggle he admits will be gruelling. The champion's new rope swing and back-drop, his giant swing. Mexican death lock, flying mares, drop kloka and flying tackles will be pitted against the Arabian's two man-klllers. the camel lock and the dragon scissors, two complicated paralysers which have brought him victory In every match here. With each man rattd as one of the clev erest on the coast, and both as fast as a middleweight, the match Is ex pected to be one of the best seen here In months. Prince Mlhalakls has demanoea that Belcastro post his title belt for the fray, but his demand has borne no fruit. The middle main event pits George "Wildcat" Wilson, alt-American foot. ball ace from the University of Washington, and Prankle Peck, head lock artist from San Francisco and Medford. The two have met before. Wilson taking the nod when he knocked Peck kicking with a Bon nenberg. The ex-Washington star Is rated as one of the hardeat hitting men In the ring, and .Peck, having onoa been the victim of the attack, has promised to keep out of the Una of flight tonight and wear his op ponent down with headlocks. The opener brlnga together Danny Savlch, also an all-Amertcan foot ball star, from Utah, and Prank Tay lor. Ohio State athlete. Bavlch won with Sonnenbergs last week, taking the flret and third falls. In previous matches here he depended on the flying tackles, but also displayed a wealth of other holds. Promoter Mack Llltard has de scribed the matches aa among the best he has promoted here, and antlclpatea one of the largest crowda of the year. Attendance took a leap last week, with the coming of good weather, and Llllard states that that record will be shattered easily to night. Advance ticket aales have been far ahead of last week. TONITE AT 8 YOU HAVE THAT DATE WITH MENTICULTURE (hi:e page 4) FANDOM AT RANDOM By DICK APPI.EOATB Trying to get an stlmi.t of how many people were at yesterday's boat racea at Emigrant lake waa like try- lng to count the ante on a picnic lunch. Not that there was such tremendous gathering, but they kept moving around and were scattered over such a substantial area that they were practically Impossible to count. We did, however, determine the fact that M cars were parked along the roadway off the pavement. Whether they paid or not we don't know, but have a suspicion they watched the races free from there, Tak, tsk. The races were good, particu larly since no races have been held In this part of the state for such a long time. There's some thing about the high whine of one of those dinky motors that Is really thrilling. We wouldn't care abont seeing any more boat races for a while, but are glad we saw these. Odds and ends: Danny Savle, all- American guard from the University of Utah, came from a town about the size of Medford and thinks small tows are preferable to the cities. Sa vlch weighed 160 pounda when he got out of college and now tips the Fairbanks at 190. The motor with which Heinle Fluhrer raced yester day, until It klunked out with a burned piston, la a special racing Job which Bud Hayes brought back from the factory in the east, In Its first race, the boat, and Henle, got thor oughly dunked In Devil's lake, wher ever that la. It Is our personal opin ion that Parker Bundy, skippering a class A hydroplane, did some of the best driving of the day yester day, and had he had a faster boat would have won all his races. He waa sloughing along the turns with only inches to spare and losing very little time on the corners, but would lose his advantage down the straight stretch. We've been Into Frank Menke's All Sports Record Book again (the one that olalmed a guy on a bicycle rode 78 miles, 603 yards In one hour flat, (paced by .motorcycles) and now discover the alarming fact that the world la struggling along without a face slapping champion. Mtchalko OonlusK and Woayi Bezeborodny, of Kiev, Russia, decided to get together here a while baok and alap each other silly, the first one to get tired of the pasting In the puss to yell uncle (we must write to Al Karaslck and find out how to say uncle In Russian). After 30 hours of good steady pounding, they declared the matchkl a drawovltch and went on home and went to bed, the big ba bies. There la no Ice sitting champion, either. At White City Casino In Chl- cago, on July 81, 1093 Oils Simmons No Ladies will be Arrested for buying Chintz! HERE'S a funny little item about sales-tax troubles 160 years ago in London. To protect the English weavers of linen and wool, cotton chintz was stiffly taxed, and the Lord Mayor was "shocked and grieved" to see three gentlewomen walking in St. James Park on Sunday dressed in chintz gowns. On Monday morning, the three ladies were haled into court but all promptly paid their fines . . . because chintz was so pretty and so cool ! It still is. Crisp little dot and flower chintz for warm weather frocks. Red-rambler-rose chintz for summer bedrooms. Chintz slip-covers for dining-room chairs. Chintz blinds when you take the winter draperies down. Right now is the time to do your chintz-choosing.
