With on helty blow of hu dou-bled-up
(lt, tna Mad Italian Irom
Weed. Calif,, laid low the nun who
bad defeated him to easily two week
ago, and with the huge crowd snout
ing It anger at what looked like a
plenty foul punch, Alvln Brltt, ex
junior heavyweight champion of the
world, lay groaning at the feet of
Referee Bay Friable at he raleed
Belcastro'a hand In token of vic
tory. It waa one. of the rougheat, tough
est main event ever displayed by
Promoter Mack Llllard In the Med
ford Armory; a match In which both
men flung caution and any Idea of
clean grappling to the winds.
The end came after lea than 30
minutes of dirt and after each had
grabbed one tumble.' Brltt, angered
beyond endurance at the repeatea
foul tactics of Belcastro, who waa
pouring It on In great quantities,
hammered the Italian out of the
ring. With Belcastro on the outside
and Brltt on the Inside, both pound
ing punches at each other In a wild
flurry, Pete suddenly brought one
up from the carpet. The sock, car
rying tremendous power, caught
Alvln considerably below where the
belt should be and a he fell back
wards, Pete dove back through the
rope and flopped on top. Patting
Belcastro on the back waa a mere
formality as Brltt was unable to
navigate for at least ten minutes
afterward.
The first fall took about two min
utes, with Belcastro tossing doubled
flats with reckless abandon to Brltt's
face and body. Groggy, Alvln was
battered to the mat and Pete pinned
- him with a body press.
The ex-champ came back to take
the next tumble after both grappiers
liad spent considerable time tangling
each other up In the ropes, then
beating at each other. Finally, Brltt
grabbed Pete's head and after sev
eral terrlflo reverse body slams that
sounded like each would be the end
Of life for Pete, Brltt pressed hi
shoulder to the carpet.
Although barred by the Medford
Boxing commission. Brltt several
time threatened to use the rope
arm-breaker. He never quite got
around to It but he did break Pete's
arm over his leg more than once,
The middle event was great while
It lasted, which was three rounds,
Toota Estes and Cowboy Billy Mc-
Iwsn really opened the book with
an smaslng display of clean and
sensational wrestling. The finale came
when Estes, apparently groggy and
ready to finish off after resounding
sonnenbergs suddenly lashed out
with a double-barreled dropktck that
caught McEwan flush on the chin.
The popular cowboy dropped to the
canvas like he was shot and Bates
elamped on the Japanese octopus, a
fconoy of a hold.
Bailor Dick Trout, a big, blond,
smart newcomer from Ban Pedro, took
two out of three falls from George
Lsgoskl, the Russian Lion, In the
opening match.
Trout gained the first tumble In
ttie Initial atansa with several son
nenbergs off the ropes and a body
press. Lagcakl cams back to slam
blow at Trout's chin In tha middle
of another aonnenberg to take the
second fall In the second round.
Trout got riled at Lagoskl'a dirt In
the fourth frame and piled on with
a leg-breaker to win the match.
The largest crowd since the Black
Dragon-Dude Chick match several
months ago ttirn-1 out to watch pro
ceedings last night.

FOR. MOUND DUTY
By tha Associated Press.
The Oakland Acorns, solid eon

from a milkman and the New York
Yankees.
Bill Ludolph, hefty righthander
with the Oaks last season, but who
deserted baseball to become a milk

tract to hurl for the Acorns. Jack
La Rocca, who went to the Yankees
after winning 17, losing 13 and fan
nlng 168 with the Oaks last season,
Is being sent back to the coast for
more experience. .
Ludolph's contract calls for mound
assignments when the Acorns are
at home and once In a while In Los
Angeles, but never In the Pacific
northwest. He will do his chucking
In night games and on Sunday, al
lowing him to give his milk route
the fullest attention.
The milkman reports to the Oaks
for the series with San Francisco in
Oakland starting today. LaRocca is
en route. Oakland Is in seventh place
two and a hair games ahead of the
oft-beaten Mission Reds.

Few Portsiders
Toe the Slab in
So. Oregon Loop
There will be a dearth of southpaw
chuckers In ths Southern Oregon clr
cult this sesson which, from the Med'
ford standpoint, la not so hot. With
the exception of Wally Rlckert. i
ond Backer, and Ray Lewis, who la a
switch hitter, all Crater batters hit
from the right aids of the plate.
According to all bassos!! axioms.
the locals should therefore be duck
soup to the Messrs. Merrltt snd
Thompson of Glendsle, Bsrr snd Ty
nan of Boseburg, Deo of Crescent
City snd Griggs of Grants Pass. So
far as the latter Is concerned, the
Craters did prove to be rather easy
pickings a couple of weeks sgo In the
league opener. They got only six
blows off ths brilliant Merchant
righthander but Manager Mike Bal-
iovlck Is not worried In ths leaat,
either about his club's Inability to
sock Griggs with any degree of con
slstency or the great scarcity of
southpaws In the league.
"We'll start getting basehlts.
never worry," the huge skipper
Informed us. "Right or lefthand
ed, It doesn't matter, with a few
more practice sessions under our
belts, all hurlers will look the
ssme whether they heave from
the port or the starbsard. side."
Next Sunday at Ashland the Cra
ters will fsce Lowell Brown, to date
the circuit's lone lefthander with the
exception of a youngster at Crescent
City who probably won't aee much
action this year. Brown, who has
plenty on the bsll when hs la right,
was certainly right at Roeeburg Sun
day, but lost when a line drive got
away irom Jack Bauldlng In left
field. Reputed to be heavy hitting
crew, the Pirates solved Brown's
slants for Just three hits, one or
them a home run by Manager Chuck
Taylor.
In sdditlon to Brown of ths Ltth-
lana having to face eight right
handed batters, the Craters should
be further aided In their quest for
victory by the fact that the left field
fence in Ashland's ball orchard la not
a great distance from the home plate.
Eight right-handed hitters swing for
the short wall against a southpaw
appears to be a pretty aweet situa
tion, for Medford anyway. But, It
would be wise to retrain from betting
tha homestesd. As proved several
times, anything can happen In base
bsU.
There Is really a nice story In
the short left-field fence busi
ness at Ashland, but having sort
of a need for arms, legs, hair and
skin, ws will not go Into many
details. That fence Is a huge sore
spot with Ashlsnd bsseballert
and enthusiasts. Two years sgo
a yam waa printed regarding ths
fence and Its distance from the
piste slong with other slight
fallings of ths park, and the re
sult, was a near breaking oft of
all relations Including friendly
with Medford.
Anyway. It can be stated with con
fidence that when Medford and Ash
land tangle In their Southern Oregon
league affair at Ashland next Sun
day Manager Balkovlck's Craters will
have plenty of eyes glued to that left
ueid barrier which is, we shall ssv.
a considerable distance closer In then
a left field fence shouM be.
