Billy Hulen Says:
Mat Monstrosity .
May Appear Here
Against Sockeye .
Mons. Maurice Tillet of France,
better known to the country'!
mat fans ai "The Angel." is
being (ought by Promoter Mack
Lillard for an early appear
ance here, possibly a week from
next Monday night. And, if
LUlard is successful in hooking
the freakish-looking Frenchman,
Sockeye Jack McDonald will
ask the oromoter for a shot at
Tillet.
McDonald has a score to set
tle with 'The Angel." In the
fall of 1940 Sockeye was riding
the crest of a 11-match winning
streak in Minneapolis, packing
in the customers and knocking
over every mat gent who dared
stick his nose in the same ring
with the big, tough ex-logger.
Then, Mons. Maurice Tillet of
France came to town.' On- Oc
tober 21, 1940, the pair- clashed
In the Minneapolis auditorium
with some 3.S00 clients pack
ing the place. They saw McDon
ald's sensational victory string
napped.
The match lasted 20 min
utes and 17 seconds, .. with
McDonald making "free use
of his flits, elbows and feet,
together with resorting to
very hold and trick in his
rasslla' repertoire in a des
perate effort to throw "The
Anoal". according to a Minne
apolis newspaper's account of
the battle.
"It was all In vain, however,
as Mons. Tillet took everything
Sockeye had to offer in the
way of physical abuse and then
crushed McDonald' Into defeat
with his famous bear hug hold
after 20 minutes and 17 seconds
of tussling."
McDonald believes he can de
feat the huge-headed, fantastically-constructed
"Angel," who
is probably the greatest drawing
card In American mat circles.
If the Frenchman does come
here, McDonald will do every
thing in his power to land the
match. ...

Two weeks ago the Craters

Spokane, Wash., July 9. OP)
In or out of the army, Marvin
"Bud" Ward is still the coun
try's amateur kingpin golfer and
he set out to prove, it today in
the first round of match play in
the western amateur champion
snip.
The curly-haired corporal
stationed at Fort Wright here
in the air force, was paired off
with Otto Rosand of this city
and, barring nothing short of
tremendous upset, was expected
to .breeze through the opener of
tne sudden death competi
tion.
Corporal Ward, national ama
teur title holder as well as win
ner of the western the last two
years, bagged medal honors
from a fast field with a 36-hole
qualifying total of 141. ' He was
back of the pace the first day
with a 73 but breezed in with
fine 68 to overtake the front
runners in yesterday's second
round.
Although his pair of 34's
shaded four strokes off par for
the 36-36 72 Manlto course,
Ward actually had to scramble
at times to make it. Three of
his tee shots fell in the woods
and he had two bogies on Hie
first nine. On the second nine
he fumbled for a six on the par
four twelfth hole yet checked
in with room to spare. The
second low qualifier was Marsh
Hammond, a Spokane entry who
put together rounds of 72-71
143.
Ward Against Field
The tournament was strictly
one of Ward against the field
and off his performance he
figured to trim his opponents In
today's first and second rounds
His first opponent, Rosand,
barely qualified being one of
three who played off a tie at
167 for the lent two places in
the championship flight.
The "name players" scattered
throughout the two brackets all
were expected to get by the
opening match play round.
Bill Welch of Houston; Tex.,
national public links champion.
drew Jack Walters of Tacoma,
holder of this state's left-handed
golf title. Welch qualified with
149 and Walters with 164.
Former Public Links Champ
Bruce McCormick, Los Angeles
fireman, who qualified at 143,
was pitted against Charles
Walker of Portland, Ore., in
with a 165.
Another army corporal and
one time public links titlist, Pat
Abbott of Los Angeles, had an
opening round date with Bob
Wiley of Puyallup, Wash. Ab
bott qualified at 149 compared
to Wiley's 164.
Wisconsin Star Wilford
Wehrle, a former western cham
pion, prepared to compare shots
with a local entry, Emmett Dur
gan, and off qualifying trials
was expected to have only a
workout. Wehrle moved into
the match play with medal fig
ures of 145 against Durgan's
166.
Bailay Qualifies
Veteran Chick Evans of Chi
cago, eight times western cham
pion, had a tough one in big A.
B. "Buck Bailey, assistant foot
ball coach of Washington State
college, and a real competitive
golfer. Evans qualified with
1S7 and Bailey with 138.
While the "big leaguers" were
attracting the galleries, the
tournament's genuine sensation.
Buddy Moe, hooked up with Jim
Whipple of Clarkston. Wash.
Moe, son of a Spokane profes
sional golfer. Is 13 years old and
probably the youngest ever to
qualify for a major tournament.
Young Moe, not much bigger
than his bag, had a qualifying
score of 133, three strokes bet
ter than his first round rival.

The major leagues enter the
back stretch of their pennant
race today without much to run
for except the fun of running.
The double all-star shows,
which raised 3100,000 for-the
baseball equipment fund for
servicemen, $70,000 for army
and navy relief and sold f 60,000
in war savings stamns. marked
the approximate halfwav Mint
in ine scneauie.
At the Intermission the Brook
lyn Dodgers were eight games
in ironi or the 5t. Louis Car
dinals In the National league
and the world champion New
York Yankees had a four-game
advantage over the Boston Red
box in the American.
This makes it apparent to all
parties concerned that there no
longer is any argument about
the eventual pennant winners in
either major league and none
of the baseball celebrities who
gathered in New York and
Cleveland for the all-star con
tests cared even to intimate that
the Dodgers and Yankees could
be headed.
This situation leaves the other
clubs in the big top to find
whatever satisfaction they can
in scrambling for places in the
first division and the fans to
turn their attention to the com
petition for individual honors.
