New York, June 20 (JP)
The three year old racing situ
ation became as scrambled as a
platter of boarding house hsh
again today when Shut Out was
soundly beaten in the Dwyer
stakes by the Texas filer, Val
dina Orphan, in one of the fast
est mile and a quarter races ever
run.

For, with a crowd of 23,833

"The Orphan" led from end to

running of this ancient grind.
And in disproving the theory
that he couldn't run that far,

was $2.40 for place, and Lochin-

farther back, was $2.40 for

GRUDGE BOUT TO
FEATURE ARMORY
TLI
Medford's first honest-to-
goodness "grudge" wrestling
match in over a year will find
Camp White's George Craig
clashing with Prince Selakl Mi
hallkis in the one-hour main ev
ent of Monday night's armory
program. And from the way
reserved seat ducats are being
snapped up by mat bugs an
overflow crowd is In prospect.
Craig, a streak of lightning in
the ring, has worked up a ter
rific "hate" at Mihalikis. This
feeling stems from the semi
windup brawl the pair staged
last Monday night, a brawl In
which Mihalikis employed an
ancient, and nasty, trick to win
the contest, two falls to one.
After slugging Craig in the
kidneys with his doubled-up
fists. Mihalikis craftily extend
ed his hand to show he was sor
ry and wouldn't do it any more.
Craig, in good faith, accepted
the extended hand and was Im
mediately kneed in the face.
Three hip locks then followed
in rapid succession and the first
thing Craig knew he was pinned
for the deciding fall.
Craig's anger at the manner
in which Mihalikis duped him
into defeat was fanned by a
number of Camp White work
men, who threatened to make
things highly unpleasant for the
Prince before he could reach
the safety of the dressing room.
And, so steamed up was Craig
that he was not allowed to en
ter the dressing room until Mi
halikis left.
There will be another re
match on the card, that pitting
Sockeye Jack McDonald against
Chief Thunderbird in the six
round center attraction. Mc
Donald, last week, took two out
of three falls from the big In
dian, and is confident he can
duplicate the feat in their sec
ond meeting.
