Danny is mean and acts like he is afflicted with St. Vitus dance. BATTLE ROYAL TO DECIDE PAIRINGS Although the battle royal. naturally, will be the big at traction at the armory next Monday night, the half-dozen wrestlers on the program won't call It quits after their rnultiple mayhem. They'll keep right on dishing out thrills with three additional matches. Pairings for these three In dividual clashes will be made in the usual manner, the first two battlers eliminated coming back to go six rounds or two out of three falls, next pair ousted returning for a similnr struggle, and the two finalists then colliding in a one-hour, two-out-of-thrce-full brawl. Llllard has signed up two tough guys and four scientific performers for his first card in a month. Danny McShane and I Pete Bclcastro are the two brutal grapplers, while Jimmy Goodrich, Otis C 1 1 n g m a n. George Wagner and young Joe Lynam will provide the legiti mate mat work. It is expected that McShane and Belcastro will be ganged by the cleanles in no uncertain terms. Because It will be ladles' night, the year's largest crowd is expected to attend. Every male or female fan purchasing either a ringside or reserved seat ducat will be given a free one to admit a feminine cus tomer. SLATED SATURDAY Los Angeles, July 19.

MEAD SUSPENDED EOR TWO MONTHS BY COMMISSION Action Taken Because of Re fusal to Remove Henry Armstrong's Bandages New York July 19 (U.R) Welterweight Champion Henry Armstrong and Lightweight Champion Lew Jenkins were matched today for a return bout in Madison Square Garden on September 27. Armstrong scored a technical knockout in the sixth round against Jenkins at the Polo Grounds Wednesday night. New York, July 19. U.R) Eddie Mead, manager of Henry Armstrong, was suspended for 60 days today by the New York boxing commission. The action was taken because Mead refused to remove the bandages from Armstrong's hands before Wednesday night's fight in which Henry knocked out Lew Jenkins. John J. Phelan, chairman of the commission, was in Arm strong's dressing room before the fight. He was informed there was a private agreement which allowed Armstrong and Jenkins to use more bandages on their hands than the rules permit. Apparently Phelan ordered Mead to take the bandages off so they could be measured and Mead refused to do so. All persons connected with the fight were summoned be fore the commission today and Armstrong's and Jenkins' purses were held up. Purs Rlasd Mead, coming out of a pri vate meeting of the commis sion, said Armstrong's purse of $25,404.4 Bhad been released by the commission after Armstrong agreed to make the next de fense of his welterweight cham pionship in New York. Arm strong was told that he nuut post a $2,000 forfeit to guaran tee he would go through with the fight and agreed to fight before November. The commission decided to recognize Fred Browning as Jenkins' manager of record. Hymle Caplin, who has been handling Jenkins' affairs. Is un der suspension by the commis sion for failing to produce his ghter for a scheduled bout at a small club here. Browning posted $2,000 with Promoter Mike Jacobs as a guarantee that Jenkins would make the next defense of his lightweight championship 1 n New York some time before November.

Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; Three State Loop Teams Undefeated In State Tourney It has long been a question of fiery debate among Oregon's bush baseball men as to which of the various leagues operat ing in the state produce the best brand of pastiming. The argument is something like that traditional National versus American loop contro versy, and there are plenty of supporters for each camp. While the current state semi pro tournament isn't designed to settle the beef, nor could it do so if it wanted to, a glance at the progress of teams enter ed, to date, reveals that at least the Oregon State circuit is right in there whooping it up. Actually, th Stat loop has thus far mad th bast show ing of any leagu. Right now, of the four clubs yt unbeaten in tournay action, thr of ihm own franchises in th Slat whl. Medford and Al bany hav rachd th quar-ir-l 1 n a 1 s in th 1 o w r brack!, and Jack and Jill's surprising kids hav moved into th sam round in th upper brack!. Th Ion othar undfatd !am is Portland's B. and O. Transfer. All told, there are 14 clubs remaining in the championship running out of the 25 that leap ed from the barrier. Remem ber, it takes two defeats to eliminate a team, so on that basis It is easy to see there are 10 teams still In the chase, which have one setback to their debit. Those teams are Battleground, Gaston Dairy, Reliable Shoe. Valsetz, Sellwood, Tillamook. Silverton, Verboort, Mantle Club, and McElroy's Dancers The field will be further nar rowed tonight when Sellwood plays Tillamook and Silverton meets Verboort. The State league entered five teams and four of them are still among those present. Only the Portland Babes are out, and both their defeats, strangely, were at the hands of cousin State leaguers Jack and Jill and Silverton. The latter team, with one loss already, is on the ragged edge of elimination, but should get over Verboort to night. Th tournament's big night occurs Monday, when Med ford and Albany clash at 8:45 p. m. They ar rated co-favor-lts for th till. Than th following evening Jh two other undfatd club com together Jack and Jill and B. and O. Tranifer. Th win nrs of lhei two games will iangl th following Wednes day nigh!, after all tourna ment games mov to Silver ton for th semifinals and finals. After playing a doubleheader at Bend Sunday, the Craters will go directly to Portland for their titanic clash with Albany Monday evening. If the locals win, they will remain In the north for their Wednesday night semifinal game at Silverton, and If they win that, also, they will be through until Wednes day, July 31, night of the cham pionship game. However, if Medford loses to Albany, they will probably return home be cause they won't have to play again until the following Fri day night. At Hills Creek last Sunday.

ZALE THIS EVE Seattle, July 19. flJ.PJ Al Hostak goes into the ring against Tony Zale of Chicago tonight little more than an even- money favorite to retain his National Boxing association middleweight title. Zale, a former Gary, Ind.. steel worker, won a non-title decision over th 23-year-old Seattle puncher six months ago after Hostak broke his hand against the Chicagoan's head. It was the second bone frac ture Hostak's hands had suffer ed and the chief issue tonight seemed to be whether they could, hold up over 13 rounds. He is one of the hardest hitters outside the heavyweight ranks. His blows smash against his op ponents with explosive force and misdirected they can do more damage to Hostak than to the receiver. Hostak must also counter the dangerous infighting tactics that Zale used to advantage in their Chicago bout. In workouts here Zale also showed more stam ina, more vitality than the champion, and observers said Hostak's only chance lay in an early knockout. As ring time approached, Hostak was only an 8 to 6 favor ite. Promoter Nate Druxman hoped for a gate of $40,000. Former lightweight champion Benny Leonard will referee.
