."VV- - FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. Jun. 22, 1944 pounds more than Armstrong, was awarded three rounds on his hit-and-run tactics but was staggered in the 10th when Hen ry finally caught up with him to land the hardest punch of the evening. There were no knockdowns In the fight and Latsios appeared stronger than his veteran oppo nent In the later rounds when he slowed Armstrong's bull like rushes with left uppercuts to the wood, N. J., who trimmed Claire Doran, Cleveland, on the 19th green after the match went into a playoff. In the lower bracket, the com petition was almost as strong. Dorothy Germain, Drexel Hills, Pa., who won the Red Cross tour ney at Wykagyl last week, had trouble In edging 20-year-old Mrs. Joanne Barr Tracy, Dallas, Texas, 2-up, and unless the love ly Miss Germain finds the secret of a short game, she may have trouble with Georgia Tainter, Fargo, N. D., who eliminated a former open champion, Mrs. Lawrence Selz, Ravinia, 111. The opera "LaTcme" has been banned in France by the Gestapo because an audience "demon strated l'x feelings" at a scene in which an English officer appears, the Stockholm newspaper Da gens Nvheter declared in an article reported to the Office 6f War Information.

Nil W: i.f ft; !'f II Pair Clash In Top Duel Of Armory Mat Card; Wag ner, Davidson in Middle. Weed's wildman, Pete Belcas- tro, will match his fast-flying fists and brutal mat maneuvers against the scientific tactics and jiu-jitsu holds of Walter "Sneeze" Achlu, the husky Chi nese operator, in the one-hour feature struggle of tonight's arm ory wrestling program which eets under way at 8:30. It will be the hairy Italian's first main-event shot in six weeks and he plans to leave nothing undone In seeking a vic tory In order to remain In the "top bout" category. Although Belcastro has a good record here since; the resumption of the game two victories, one setback and one draw that one defeat came In his only mom event perform ance to date, and he'll go all out In an effort to erase the stigma of the loss. Brawl Expected Tough as Belcastro Is, he may not be rugged enough to handle the squat, stocky Oriental, who "liquidated" George Wagner, the glamour boy. In a rlp-sriorting brawl last week. Achlu, tremen dously powerful, prefers to grap ple cleanly, but Isn't above turn ing on the ' illegitimate stuff when forced Into it by the ac tions of his opponent. He proved that against "Gorgeous George," and Belcastro can expect noth- , lng less this evening, Wagner, in the four-round seml-wlndup, will be attempting a comeback from his whipping by Achlu. He'll iace Harold (Buck) Davidson, a plenty tough customer, whose latest start re sulted In a conquest of Silent Ratan, and who can play just as dirty as Wagner, himself, which is saying something. After an absence of couple of weeks, Jack (Bad Boy) Lips comb, another mean gent will return to battle Billy McEuIn In the three-round opener. McEuIn will be making his 1944 debut In the Medford ring. Earl Yoakley will referee.

The doughty manager of the New York Giants, who sets a new record almost every time he goes to bat, scored his 1,741st run yesterday as the Giants trounced the Brooklyn Dodgers, 11-2. The tally, unimportant In such a lop-sided score, broke the mark set by Honus Wagner In 1917, 27 seasons ago. Wagner, said by many to the the greatest shortstop, If not the greatest ball player of all time, labored 21 years to establish his mark, while Ott is now in his 19th active season. The all-time record of 2,244 runs is held by Ty Cobb and was established over a 14-year period in the American league. The St. Louis Cardinals con tinued to make life a misery for the Chicago Cubs as they scored their 10th and 11th consecutive victories over the Bruins this season. George Mungcr and Mort Cooper collaborated on a 6-4 victory In the first of the two games. Harry Brecheen held the Cubs to six hits in the night cap and the 12-hit attack of his mates provided him with an easy 7-2 triumph. Ray Starr shined in his second start against the Cincinnati Reds as two runs in the' ninth inning gave Pittsburgh a 2-1 edge. The doubleheader scheduled for Philadelphia at Boston In the senior circuit was rained out for the second straight day. The American league-leading St. Louis Browns stretched their margin over Boston to two and a half games as they swamped the White Sox, 11-2. The Philadelphia Athletics, in last place in the circuit Monday, moved into fifth place with a 5-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox.
