the wildest milling Imaginable to
take the lone fall of one of the
most brutal and sensational matches
seen here In months. Belcastro was
unable to continue after having his

Murdock climaxed the w lid-eyed
main event by belting Belcastro to
the carpet with doubled up flats snd
obtaining bis thunderbolt hold, af
ter Pete missed fire with a vicious
dropklck and struck the ropes. Until
that moment, Pete waa way ahead
by virtue of some of the dirtiest
grappling ever dished out hereabouts,
grappling that saw everything bap
pen from mere eye-gouging to ft
crazy battle outside the ring between
the two wrestlers and Referee Earl
Toskley. After Belcastro missed his
dropklck and hung himself on the
ropes, Murdock grabbed him by the
hair and hammered him to the floor
three times. With Pete helpless as a
' babe, Paul applied his thunderbolt
and gave him the works, snd that
was that. PetA was In no condition

optimtBtlo baseball men can see any

to-, the pennant and world champ
ionship. Great baseball teams crack up
mainly because of two reasons, either
the playera drift past their prime and
become old-timers. In the baseball
sense, or dlssentlon wreaks Its havoc
among star performers. In the Yanks-
case, there has never been the slight
est whisper of the latter, and the
club, while not exactly a bunch of
Boy Scouts, is neither a gang of be
whlskered old men.
So, with neither dlssentlon nor old

employes are still in their 20 's or

ORIENTAL FORCES!
IN HEAVY BATTLE
TO GAIN YANGSIN
SHANGHAI, Oct. 11 (AP) Artil
lery thunder echoed through the
Yangtze valley today as Chlneee and
Japanese engaged In a bitter duel
for hills around Yangsln, keypomt
of southeastern Hup eh province
plains protecting Hankow.
The Japanese reported their forces
were closing In on the war-time
capital of Hankow from other direc
tions, while the offensive was Inten
sified against Yangsln. which foreign
military sources called the most Im
portant point In the present fight
ing, since occupation would permit
the Japanese to sever the railroad
south of Hankow thus cutting off
vital oommunlcatlon lines to Canton.
The Invaders have spent 7T days
since capturing Kiuktang, Yangtze
river base 13S miles southeast of
Hankow, In attempts to pierce the
strong Yangsln defense lines. San
guinary fighting was continued along
a 35-mlle front while the Japanese
have tried to effect aa encircling
movement.
Foreign military attaches estimated
the Chinese have had 1.150.000 cas
ualties and the Japanese 350.000 In ,
more than IS months of warfare.
The Chinese reported they had sur
rounded two Japanese divisions near
Telan, 130 miles southeast of Han
kow, and killed 10,000 Japanese.
Japanese said, however, their forces
were advancing "on all fronts" and
that their three-pronged drive toward
Hankow waa being speeded.
BEFORE ELECTION
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 11. P
Tom Mooney, turned down by the
U. S. supreme court in his fight for
freedom, placed his ease before the
voters of California today.
The convicted San Francisco pre-
peradness day bomber serving life In
nearby San Quentin prison, last night
dropped further appeal to the high
est United States tribunal and de
manded Gov. Frank Merrlam give
htm an Immediate pardon hearing.
In a telegram to Governor Mer
rlam, Mooney accused the executive
of declining for four yeara to act
on his application for an uncondi
tional pardon on the ground the case
was still In the courts. -
"You are hereby duly notified by
me that all court actions in my be
half are now concluded and no other
court actions are contemplated,'
Mooney telegraphed the governor.
He demanded Governor Merrlam
"grant me an Immediate public hear
ing and render s decision on my
application for pardon before the
November 8 election, so that the
people of California will have the
opportunity of being able to express
themselves on that day as to their
faith or lack of faith In the merits
of the services you have rendered
to them as their servant. '
Five governors have denied pardon
