C I ' I p 4 iA E CHICK'S PROVES WATERLOO FOR MONTGOMERY A completely mstsed crowd of wrestling fan last night saw every thing In the book snd several hun dred thlnga that weren't In three of the moat exciting grappling matches ever seen at the Medford Armory, In cluding the sight of on wrestler chasing another to his dressing room, madly brandishing a folding chair he nopea to use for a cudgel. Dude Chick, ex-cowpuncher, bron co buster and meanle mauler, stopped cold the long string of victories for Boo Montgomery with hla lariat spin in the main event after "Bully Bob" had taken an early advantage with a Boston crab. The fall was one of only four taken against Chick in Medford. Following up hi advantage the southerner clamped Chick In a pun ishing head lock at the atart of the second fall, and gouged Chick's eyes hard for what looked like a certain fall. As In many other matohea here Chick pushed him against the ropes ana noisted mm for the last, long ride, with one of the longest spins ne naa used nere to date. Montgomery did much better than many expected him to, and the big oowhand waa In trouble through most of the fray. After the match Chick admitted It was his hardest match In many months. It waa the first west coast loss for Montgomery, Two groggy grapplers In the middle event, Oeorge Craig and Joe Hubka, supplied a thrill finish to their match when, still semi-conscious from a double tumble to the herd mat, they attacked Referee Ray Friable and Second Oalen Knog after the beU In a wild melee that lasted for aeveral minutes before the gladiator came to, and realized they were not bat tling each other. Hubka won the mutch when he crawled on top of Craig's prostrate form a both passed out. Hubka took the first fall in the third round with a rolling leg Klssors and hammer lock. Craig took the next In the fourth with anvil flips. It waa In tha fifth, while Craig was attempting another anvil, that Hubka lifted him for the body slsm that saw both go over backward for the twin knock out. The opener was one of the most sur prising debacles the big crowd hid ever seen, with Johnny Boos the ac tual if not the moral victor. He took the first fall with headlocks, eye gouging and a body alam, followed by a press, after retreating to the outalde of the ring to argue with the orowd every time Pat O'Brien had him In trouble. The Irishman took the next fall with running flying marea off the ropes when he became huffy at Boos' slugging. About four wallops and th HlbenUan leaped Into the air, spit on his hands, and had Soos pinned before even the delighted audience waa aware of what was go ing on, O'Brien throw the bow-legged In- dlanan out of the ring early In the third round, and Soos, for lack of a handler weapon, started hurling card board round markers Into the ring. Frlsbie ordered him back Into the arena and told O'Brien to go get him when Soos refused tha Invitation. A few minutes later Soos attempted to even the count by throwing the Em erald Islander out of the arena, and falling In that he Jumped out him self and pulled O'Brien out onto the floor by the head. Knowing that Fria ble would be following him out. Soos crawled through the arbiter's legs, ran through the ring, and dived out on the far side. Even Friable laughed. There waa no fall In that round. Soos took the deciding fall In short order In the fourth, with elbow slams to the chin and a body slam, follow ed by a body press. Then 'the fun started. As Soos waa getting up off his prostrate enemy he kicked the Irishman In the ribs. Then apparent ly unaware that O'Brien had come to, he stoop calmly while Frlsbie raised his hand. The Irishman waa not contented with happenings, how. ever. Rushing to 8oos he clutched him by the head end knocked htm kicking with a howiing wallop to the back of the neck, plucking him off the realn for another resounding whack. Soos fled the ring. He tore out of tne auditorium, clearing a chair like a gsrelle In hla flight, with O'Brien In hot pursuit, armed with a chair. Soos ran upstairs to hi dressing room, slammed th door. gTabbed hla clothes, leaped out the window onto a bal cony, alld down a flag pole rope to the sidewalk, fled to his oar, and paused only when he got to his hotel He dressed and hesrd the mam event over ths radio from local cafe. He did not return to the Armory until after O'Brien had left, and Issued loud chsllenge for a rematch. O'Brien also demsnded rematch, and told the crowd that If he didn't WILSON'S STORE FOR MEN 32 North Front Open Evenings F. W.

Much of the friction developed In i the so-called "combat sports" such as soccer football, wrestling and box ing, would have been minimized. In the opinion of several Amerltcan leaders, If these events had followed the example of the I. A. A. P., which placed entire charge of track and field officiating In the hands of the Oermans. The only non-German of ficials among the track Judges and timers were two Americans, Oustavus T. Klrby, and Charles J, Dleges, both of New York. Accustomed aa they have been to apeotacular sporting events and tre mendous crowds, American observers not only were amazed by the height scaled by the Olymplo pageantry but simply staggered by the size of crowds witnessing all events. The average dally attendance for 16 consecutive daya of ceremony and competition was nearly 300,000. The aggregate of 4.500,000 tlcketa sold dwarfed any thing In Olympic history. It doubled the Los Angeles attendance In 1933. "The spontaneous unity of the Oer- man people In their respect for Hitler lick Soos he'd sacrifice his purse to charity. Sooa told a reporter to In form O'Brien that "I'll lick that big clam In straight falls If I ever get him In a ring again," a somewhat puzzling announcement considering M earlier fright. FANDOM -AT RANDOM By DICK APPLEOAIE. Hard aa It has been, we are now able to realize that the football sea son Is upon us. A drizzle of rain this morning helped, but the thing that turned the trick 1 a body full of aching muscles, the result of two hours of "kick-goal" at the high school Isst night. With not enough sense left to realize we are getting old at an alarming pace, we got In a game with a bunch of kids, fell down with a sickening thud while trying to get off with a nice spiral (which we didn t do) and altogether had quite a time. One young man showed up and waa booting out some long, twisting kicks that would have made Coach Bowerman'a mouth water. He's from Kerby, his family ha recently moved here, and he'll be out for football this fsll. A rangy kid. he ought to help quite a little. He's a senior. Don't worry about that turf field. It's In wonderful shape. Is firm and springy, and even the clown-like flop ne did didn't hurt. They've put up Iron pipe posts along the sidelines. Howard tsclieffel, who was there to also scintillate In the klrk-gunl busi ness, suggested something that would have been a good Idea had' It been mnde earlier. . He won dered why the posts hadn't been put In at 10-yard Intervals, so that the field could he lined with their aid. The posts nre arranged Irregularly as It Is. and and csn't be moved for they're Imbedded In cement. Chuck Clay also showed up for a gander at the new field, and the half finished grandstand. Chuck Is an other young gent who can't realize that It's been almost ten years since he entered high school. He came out to work out with the squad and run off a few pounds. Chuck Is the lad who, In 1930 In a high school game against Salem, made a sensational catch of Ivan Harrlng ton'a 40-yard pass and saved the day In a 13-13 tie. He'll not care about our mentioning It. but he told us last night, ss we brooded over our Only "Caterpillar" Your "Caterpillar" machine performs the way it doei became genuine "Cat erpillar" parts are used in its construction.

Most people think the dogs are natural-born man hunters, but the fact la less than half of them ever can be taught to follow a trail. The secret of a good bloodhound Is the shape of Its nose. If long and narrow, ths dog's scent nerve 1 un usually sensitive, explains Ball. And for all their persistence on the hunt, they ere not vicious, and seldom at tack their prey. "The best dogs will get a man cor nered, then stand' off and bay him," Ball declares. Ball la trainer and handler of dogs at the state prison farm here. Convict trusties, called "dog sergeants," are detailed to help him. The dogs and their handlers are continually In de mand throughout the state for trail ing murderers, robber and Jail-breakers. When convicts escape from the prison farm Into the surrounding Tunica hills, the dogs are lndlspen slb'.e. For the hunt, they are usually chained In pairs, with their hand lers following on horseback, for if the trail la "hot," the dogs set a fast pace, with their noses skimming the ground ar.d their long ears flopping to their patter. Bloodhounds have been Ball's life long Interest. Nothing Is sweeter mu sic, he says, than the sound of a dog as he hits a trail and races 10 to 13 miles an hour at full bay. The perfect trail Is one left Just after a rain, and the worst Is one made Just before a rain, But a real dog will not be stopped. He needs only the faintest scent of a man's foot print. "You really should be 'able to let the dogs smell a piece of clothes of the man being bunted, or the bed he has slept In, or even a cash register he haa robbed," Capt. Ball said. "But even that Isn't necessary for a good bloodhound. He can strike a trail from a footprint." The captain started training dogs In his boyhood. His uncle, Ben BsU. had the most famous pack In th Ozark mountains years ago. Once he trailed the James boys. Uncle Ben gave hla nephew a pup and told him how to train It. The boy started by hiding behind trees and letting the pup find him. The trails must be easy at first, or the dog get discour aged. "Red." a lean doe; with a long nose 'I ?JTH Ktt OOHI $ I : lis'' !
