Store IN II ITCHES The Jones boys of Arkan-ias Mike, Tony and Tuffy gave a capacity crowd at the Medford armory last night one of the most sensational wrestling progiams of the year, and although they didn't make a clean aweep of their matches with Floyd Drltt, Cecil McGlll and Frankle Schroll they consider the evening a huge success In every respect. They won two out of the throe brawls, and In two short hours won their way Into the heart of every giap- pllng an who saw them per term. They really have what It takes. Twenty-two-ycar-old Mike, the baby of the family, was the only one to taste defeat. He fell before the vicious arm-breaking assault of dirty Floyd Brltt in the opening event, but even In this caso the Family of Jones didn't end exactly behind the eight ball. Alter the match was over and as Brltt was about to enter the dressing icom, big Brother Tony partly avenged lit tle Brother Mike by walloping Brl:t acrosa the back of the neck. Brltt squealed and wasted no time In putting the dressing room door be tween him and big Brother Tony, thus averting a Hot and making it practically a unanimous decision for the Jones family, from beginning to end. In the middle event, Tony grabbed two straight falls from McGlll, and :n the climax bout, Tuffy powered out a two out of three fall victory over Frankle Schroll. , - Mike, lithe as a tiger and more active, lost to the Brltt villain be cause he couldn't fathom the lat ter'a devastating arm and neck breakers over the ropes. Brltt poured It on for two rounds, and then took falls lu the third and four.h to end things. At least a dozen times Rforoe Karl Yookley attempted to award the match to little Brother Mike on fouls, but he would have none of it. He preferred to stay In there and go down battling. Tony, weighing close to 200 pounds, beat McOUl by virtue of plain and simple bull atrength. In fact, Tony is probably the strongest grappler to ever show here. Mcaill tugged and heaved and brought Into play every trick he knows, but he couldn't budge the barrel-like Tony, who simply stood there and let McOlll waste his sttength and enthusiasm In trying to toss him to the car pet. Finally, In ths third round, Tony maneuvered around like a ten-ton truck and applied a leg cradle hold, for the first fall. In the fourth round he duplicated the business for the second fall and the match. McQIU staged a game fight, but he was helpless in the face of the bar-1 rel who was a man. ' Terrific, back-breaking bear hugs ! enabled Tuffy, a short, stocky sped- i men of Arkansas hillbilly, to defeat j Frankle Schroll In a spectacular , main event. Frankle, somewhat be wildered by the unorthodox but clean : tactics of his opponent, won the first ' fall with body slams and a press, but Tuffy came back to literally squeeze Schroll Into a rag doll and win the next two tumbles. Although , not so powerful as bis big Brother Tony, Tuffy merely grabbed Schroll around the middle and pulled In. Frankle hollered "when" to save his back for future engagements.

Dec. 8. (AP) The featherweight championship, which has been a wide open affair ever since Henry Armstrong gave It up, was mere of a free-for-all than ever today, with Potey Soalzo, from New Yorks west side, In the forefront of the battling. Petey tossed three smashing right hooks last night and flattened Joey Archibald, of Pawtucket, R. I., In two rounds. Archibald Is recognized as champion by the New York state athletic commission, end the Na tional Boxing association rates him among the top-flight, although rul ing he would have to bent the win ner of a Freddy Miller-Leo Rodak bout before gaining recognition. Scolzo, however, tossed a considerable-sized monkey-wrench into the business with his kayo win. He weighed 127 '4 to Archibald's 134 O.S.C. CONFIDENCE WORRIES MENTOR CORVALLIS Ore., Dec. 6.
