Ernie Piluso, Don Sugai Trade Clean Tactics on Mat Card Tonight BOTH GRAPPLERS IN GREAT SHAPE; Panther and Clemens in Middle Event Parks and Mehalikis to Open Show The scientific grapple battle of the year takei place In the armory tonight when Ernie Pit- uao of Portland goes to the post against Don Sugai, Salem Jap anese, In the one-hour feature vent of a three-ply all-cleanie program. Both matmen are In excellent shape for their titanic struggle, and both are bubbling over with confidence. Piluso figures on onnenberglng Sugai into obllv Ion far short of the 60-minutc time limit. On the other hand, Sugai believes he can pin Piluso with any one of a wide variety of legitimate maneuvers. Tonight's bout will bring to gether two of the cleverest, speediest and most colorful muscle-maulers ever to step foot inside a southern Oregon ting. Piluso, featuring a well rounded attack that Includes tonnenbergs, flying tackles, dropkicks and all the known leg and arm maneuvers, will enter the fray a slight favorite to whip his dark-skinned oppon ent Jap Has Backers However, Sugai has his quota ef backers and there are many persona who believe that Piluso will be unable to defend him self against the Jiu Jitsu sleeper and other pet Sugai tactics. Su gai. doubtless, boasts as many potent holds as does Piluso, but whether his attack has the hocking power of the Italian's is questionable. It is because of that superior Jolting, stunning offensive that Piluso is certain of victory. He feels sure that Sugai won't be able to stand up against tor pedo' shots to the midsection. despite his admitted cleverness and stamina. Piluso honestly be lieves he will finish Sugai in side 30 minutes, though he is not underestimating the Jap's capability. Panther Wants Win The Black Panther, defeated by Piluso last Monday, will be gunning to get back on the vic tory trail when he meets Frankie Clemens In the middle event. Until Ernie pinned the Panther twice without loss of a fall, the latter was unbeaten here, and he has been told by Promoter Mack Lillard that a win tonight will put him back on top billing. Clemens has enjoyed a good rest the past week while wait ing for a bou to heal and fig ures to provide plenty of com petition for the colored boy. Herb Parks, popular Canad ian and Prince Sclaki Mehali kis, well-liked Arabian, open the program. Like the main vent, both preliminary matches will be, or should be, clean as a whistle.

REVERSE HANDICAP EVENT SCHEDULED FOR MIDGET CARS "Although the drivers ren't especially keen about it. the fans are, and that's why we are going to make the main event a re verse handicap affair Tuesday night." Such Is the latest message from Bobby Rowe of Portland regarding the big midget auto race program at the new fair grounds baseball field Tuesday evening, starting at 7:30. Rowe wrote to explain that the faster cars would start In the back rows and the slower machines in front, Just reversing the positions of regular main events. While the pilots don't exactly relish such a situation because it means more hand-to- hand battling on the curves and straightaways as the speedier "doodle-bugs" strive to eliminate the handicaps given the slower cars, Rowe explained that tt was terrific stuff for the patrons. ' "Without doubt the reverse handicap is the most thrilling spectacle in the racing game, Rowe wrote. "It gives all cars an almost equal chance to win and the) result of those little power Jobs fighting for the lead ership is something to behold. We'll trv it Tuesday night and if there aren't too many serious crackups we may stage some more of the same in other pro grams to follow. The reverse handicap main event is slated for 33 laps, and Rowe expects at least IS cars to answer the starters gun. There will be 17 machines ail told on the program, including five midgets driven by local pilots. Time trials are slated to start at 7:30. and these will be fol lowed by a trophy dash and six heat races. There will also be a class B main event run In regu lar fashion for machines slightly slower than the fastest. EX-WEBFOOT GRIDDER GETS LINFIELD JOB McMinnville, June 10.

LITTLE DEFEATS SARAZEN, 70-73 IN OPEN PLAYOFF New Champion Wins First Two Holes and Is Never Headed; Gene Outclassed By Earl KUliaan. Cleveland, June 10. (P) There waa little room today for questioning burly Lawson Little's rank as one of the great golfers of the day and Gene Sarazen'i right to a place In the game's hall of fame. The 30-year-old Little, profes sional at Bretton Woods, N. H., held the open crown for the 44th national championship by virtue of a 70-73 playoff victory yesterday over the doughty Sar azen at Canterbury Golf club. His defeat of the bronzed vet eran who twice had won the event, refuted those who long had claimed that Little, winner of the American and British amateur titlea in 1934 and 1935, never would reach the top as a medal play star. Out In 34. Little had the upper hand in the playoff and showed as much heart winning the crown as Sarazen displayed in tying for the lead Saturday. - He went out in 34 and came home in 38 for a two-under-par 70 as Sarazen took a 37-36 73. Lit tle won the first two holes and from then on he was in con trol as he outslugged the 38-year-old campaigner from tee to green. But back of Little's playoff victory lay a Saturday which will be long remembered. It was a day climaxed by Sara zen'i amazing stretch finish for a deadlock at 287 over 72 holes as a 23-year-old youth sat heart broken in the clubhouse him self possessor of a 287 score and a message from tournament of ficials he had been disqualified for starting ahead of schedule. The youth was Ed (Porky) Oliver of Hornell, N. Y. He had a fine one under par 71 on his final round, but it was thrown out as he and five other over-anxious competitors were disqualified. Birthday Explorer Portland, June 10 Don ald DeLay celebrated his 13th birthday anniversary yesterday by starting up the sheer cliff near the St. John's bridge here. uizzy and exhausted on a ledge 60 feet up he cried for help. Po lice Sgt. F. G. Huntington rescued him in a boatswain's chair lowered from makeshift rigging above.
