In bis left hand and badly bruised

By FRANK O. GORRIF.
SEATTLE, Nor. 3. ( AP) Solly
Krieger, a scowling bomber from
Brooklyn who fights like one of
those men from Mars, was the new
middleweight champion of the world
today, after beating Al Hostak so
savagely he sent the Seattle Slav to
s hospital, blinded, paralyzed and
without the use of one arm.
Krieger. the third man to win the
middle title in a Seattle ring in
the last 28 months, fought a cagy,
crouching battle and he chopped
Hostak to pieces with left and right
crosses before 0000 dazed and stun
lied spectators. Al bsd been a heavy
local favorite.
Hostak Too Game
Hostak was a dejected and broken
battler when he left the ring for
the hospital. He wss gams to the
end too game for his own good-
staying the full 16 rounds even when
lie had only his right hand left for
both offense and defense. When It
was over his right eye was swollen
shut, his left almost closed, his face
bloody and gashed, and his left side
welted and paralyzed and his hands
badly Injured.
Hostak was rushed to the hospital
where Dr. H. T. Buckner reported,
after a superficial examination, that
bones In both hands were broken.
Ftjlit Tour Off
Dr. Buckner said Hostak would be
unable to go In training again for
at least three months. This was a
big Jolt to the youngster because
be had his baga packed to start a
lighting tour of the country.
By his slashing 'victory Krieger
takes the championship back east
for the first time since Freddie
' Steele of Taeoma gained the orown
for the Pacific coast by beating Eddie
(Babe) Rlsko In July. 1938 It was
only last July that Hostak copped
the championship with a one-round
triumph over Steele here, and this
was his first title defense.
"It wss Just the breaks." said
Eddie Marino, Hostak's manager,
after the fight. "Al broke his left
band In tho second round and his
right In the seventh. The boy didn't
have a chance."
Krieger Also Marred
Krieger, his nose puffed out. his
right eye swollen snd a lump the
size of your fist behind his left
ear. said his only worry was whether
he could go the 18 rounds.
"I weighed 173 pounds a month
ago and It wss hard making the 180
pound limit. I'm nervous, groggy and
shaky, but I don't care I'm the
champ."
The Associated Press score card
gave Hostak the fourth and eleventh
rounds, showed tho first, ninth and
fifteenth even, and gave the other
ten to Krieger. There was only one
knock down. Solly dropped Hostak
to his knees for a no-count fall with
a left to the Jaw In the 14th.

Thus, Jarring Jimmy, who polled
305 points of a possible 330. becomes
the first player to win the most
valuable award three times during
his career. Aa a member of the great
Philadelphia Athletics team a few
years ago, he won the award In 1933
and repented In 1933, when he batted
.375 and .356, respectively. This year.
his 14th In the Amertcan league, the
31-year-od husky from Maryland's

Jimmy was named first for the

members of the 34-man Writers'
voting committee, who polled their
ballots tinder a new point-scoring
system this year. Each writer se
lected a most valuable list of 10

eight, fourth seven, etc. In addition,
each writer selected an additional

Every member of the committee
put Foxx down on hla moat valuable

Billy Hulen says:
Pete and Sockeye
Demand a Rematch
With Each Other
It'a a peculiar situation, one that
probably wouldn't happen again In
a year, but Mr. Mack UUard. muscle
mangling maes
tro, reports that
he is being har
ried and harassed
no end by two of
hla wrestling go
rillas, each with
the same de
mand. The two
grappling gentle
men are Sockeye
Jack McDonald
and Pete Belcas-
tro, and Llllard
assures us that
both guys are so
- insistent they be
WUy Hulen. spotted agaln8t
each other next Monday night that
they have practically beaten his re
sistance to a pulp.
It Is a strange occurrence when
two wrestlers have th& same Idea
about anything, and what makes
this situation so out-of-the-ordlnary
is the fact that both Sockeye and
Pete are literally straining at their
respective leashes In an effort to get
in the ring together. Most always,
when grapplers are rematched. It Is
only one party who demands the re
turn go, with the party of the sec
ond part usually being only luke
warm to the proposition. If at all.
In this case, Pete and Sockeye are
both wild-eyed with anxiety for an
other match, which is peculiar but
logical.
Belcastro, Mack tells us, wants to
tackle the ex-logger for two rea
sons. The first, and probably most
Important, is a flaming desire for
revenge. It will be- remembered that
the last time Belcastro and McDonald
faced each other in the local arena,
they did so with boxing gloves en
casing their huge fists. It Is a mat
ter of history that McDonald blasted
the Mad Italian Into dreamland in
two heats, a right smash to the
chin doing the business. Pete hasn't
forgotten that beating, hence his
all-consuming ambition to again col
lide with Sockeye, on the wrestling
mat.
Pete'a second reason, Llllard ex
plains. Is founded on the happen
ings of the past two weeks, when
Mr. Belcastro has been forced to ap
pear In middle events Instead of
top squabbles. A vain person, who
believes there Is no other wrestler
in the world but himself, Belcastro
has therefore suffered a terrific loss
of face these past two Monday nights
and he wants such business stopped.
By getting a crack at McDonald.
Pete knows he will be In the top
spot again, because a Belcastro-Mc-
Donald bout couldn't be anything
but tops on any program.
As for McDonald, his craving to
clash with Pete is also born from a
powerful desire for revenge. In the
two weeks preceding the now-famous
prizefight between the two, they
wrestled it out, and Sockeye Is sad
dened to recall that Belcastro wal
loped him twice hand running. Fol
lowing those two grappling setbacks
at Pete's hands. Sockeye forced the
Italian to put on the gloves with
him, thereby getting some messure
of revenge. However, Sockeye still
honestly believes he can lick Pete at
wrestling, and will never be satis
fled until he proves it. Hence, the
big ex-logger's demand to Llllard
that he and Pete be tossed Into the
arena toge'her next Monday night.
So, If all that hasn't the earmarks
of one of Medford's greatest grap
pling "naturals," we wonder what It
takes. Pete, aching with the desire

to avenge a boxing defeat at the
hands of Sockeye, and Sockeye, In
turn, burning up with the want to
prove his boxing victory can be
duplicated on the wrestling carpet.
In speaking of the chances the
two fretting grapplers will headline
Monday's program Maestro Llllard
said today he didn't see any reason
why such s rematch couldn't be ar
ranged. With both huskies clamoring
for the thing, and fans also putting
on the pressure, Llllard remarked
that he could probably definitely an
nounce the match tomorrow. "It's a
100 to 1 shot they will be in there
Monday," Mack said with a smile,
the' smile undoubtedly being caused
by the thought of what a sweet
business the box office will do if
the shindig is slated.
Next Monday night's plans call for
a couple of old favorites to make
their reappearance. UUard said They
are Cecil McOlll, the brilliant Ca
nadian with the blazing dropklck,
and Bobby Wagner, also a clean and
scientific workman of the first water.
Who they will wrestle is not known,
but Mack said they would definitely
be on the card.
Frank le Schroll, he of the new
horror hold the crocodile clutch
will be back again, displaying his
sparkling legitimate tactics, and
probably Buddy Knox, the spectacu
lar Mlsslsslpplan, will complete the
program's personnel. However. Mack
said, somebody else might be . here
instead of Knox, preferably a vlllian.

TO
NEW YORK, Nov. 3. (AP) The
Henry Armatrong-Ceferino Garcia
welterweight scrap is off for a month
and maybe much longer, all depend
ing upon how Armstrong recovers
from a hurt he got while shadow
boxing yesterday.
The little negro fell twice In what
was to have been his final training
I session for trie nrst aeiense oz nis
147-pound title tonignt, ana ne is
trussed up worse than a Thanksgiv
ing turkey. He can walk, but that's
about all.
Promoter Mike Jacobs Is gloomy,
for It had looked like a sell-out of
$120,000. Garcia feels even gloomier
for the Filipino had been absolutely
confident of whipping Armstrong and
finally cashing In on his long ling
career. He is 29 and hasn't much
longer to reach for the big money.
Armstrong's Injury Is to a Joint low
In his back and has caused partial
paralysis of his right leg.
Carelessness caused It. Instead of
warming up in a regular ring, Arm
strong chose to dance around on a
square of canvas laid out on the
cement jail-all fronton In the hip
podrome. He hadn't been at It but
about 10 seconds when he slipped
and fell the first time. Resin waa
scattered around, but pretty soon
down he went again.
