TO 1- TOP GOJNEHT Biggest Crowd of Year, Ex pected to Attend Armory Wrestling Program The biggest turnous of cus tomers this year is expected to jam the armory tonight for Pro moter Mack Lillard's weekly wrestling card, and in order to take care of the swollen crowd some 100 additional ringside seats were today being Installed. The first match begins at 8:30. Reason for the expected capac ity crowd is the pulling power of the one-hour main event fea turing ' Gorgeous George" Wag ner in action against Walter "Sneeze" Achlu. This "grudge" scrap has local fans more hot-and-botnered than any match in years, but they are not nearly so warmish as is Wagner, himself. The glamour boy of matdom, to state it mildly, is really burned, and he has publicly, and to Achiu's face, vowed to give LOW WEEKLY RATES AT- CRATER Across From Craterian Theatre Phone 41 74 SINGLE $4.50 to $6.

Wagner "Mad" Two weeks ago, in their first meeting, Wagner was sent into slumberland by Achiu's deft fin gers caressing his neck, the ac tion taking place while both gents were scrambling around outside the ring. It was one of the wildest brawls ever seen here. Wagner was unable to do much protesting at that time, be ing a very sick little man, but he more than made up for it dur ing last week's armory program. At that time he hurled bitter epi thets right and left, at Achiu and everybody in general, and punc tuated his tirade with demands for a rematch. Probnbly 100 per cent of the people who see the match to night will be pulling for the stocky Chinaman to give Wag ner another dose of his jiu-jitsu magic. If he does, it will only be after a torrid evening, for de spite Wegner's egotism and ex hibitionism the guy is plenty tough. To Grapple Cleanly In the four-round middle event, Pete Belcastro will be seen in the strange role of a sci entific grappler. Against Billy McEuin.'some 20 pounds lighter than he, Pete has promised to forget the roufh stuff and match legitimate holds with the clever McEuin. Harold "Buck" Davidson will tangle in the three-round opener with Tony Morelli, who hasn't been around these parts for sev eral years. JACK CHASE WINS WHEN FOE SUFFERS EYE HURT Oakland, Cal., June 29 (U.R) Jack Chase, Denver middle weight, held a technical knock-; out over Little Tiger Wade of San Francisco today because Wade was temporarily blinded in the final round of their ten round bout last night, after pil ing up a big early lead.

Wade fold Ref eree Jimmy Evans he couldn't see, and Dr. John Coleman, house physician, reported an optic nerve had been hit. The condition cleared up after a few minutes.

CU.PJ The spring thaws and rains are over along the first 1,000 miles of the Alaska highway and the GI Joes and civilian construction workers from Dawson Creek, Brit ish Columbia, to Whitehorse, Yukon territory, are getting out their fishing tackle for a go at the streams and rivers and lakes in the wilderness where they work and The boys along the final stretch, from Whitehorse to Fairbanks, will just have to wait for the rest of the ice to go out and the snow-swollen streams to go back Inside their ranks. These men, who have faced northern Canadian and Alaskan elements for as long as two years at a stretch and who have so little other recreation, are the advance patrols of the army of sportsmen that after the war is expected to invade what was once mountainous forest anti brush where only trappers and indians with dog teams , had trailed. Mueh of the land is unmapped Streams and lakes are shown in dotted lines because the loca tions are not certain. Carrying tackle that ranges from the finest fly and casting equipment to the green poplar poles and common-twine of the "old fishing holes." they are cut ting roads and trails into the brush from the station camps along the highway. The fish and game data that they carry in their heads or jot down in their letters home 'will be the first guide books for the tourists who will take their cars on the long run northward from Edmonton, Alta., or ship them via boat to Skagway and then by rail to Whitehorse. I've fished up and down the highway with truck drivers, bulldozer operators, corporals, privates, sergeants, and one time a colonel. It is a sporting paradise. We fly-fished the Prophet river, 270 miles north of Dawson Creek. From its banks you can see the snow-capped Stikinni range, 100 miles to the west. It is a fast, gravel-bottom stream and full of charr and grayling running to six pounds. Just below Watson lake on the Yukon Territory-British Colum bia boundary, and about midway between Dawson Creek and Whitehorse, Is Muncho lake. The lake sets in a gash between 7000 foot peaks. Big lake trout aver aging 15 pounds come up pop eyed out of the dark blue waters that in some places cannot be sounded. The biggest cutthroat trout I've ever seen, scaling 41 pounds, came out of Swan lake, 120 miles south of Whitehorse. CRATERS BEATEN BY WPRC, 14-10 In an error-filled contest that ! lasted some three hours, the . Western Personnel Reassign ment Center baseball team de feated the Medford Craters, 14 to 10, at the fairgrounds park last night to deadlock he round robin playoff series for the Med-ford-Camp White league cham pionship. As a result of the WPRC vic tory, that team, the Craters and the Station Hospital are now ' tied, each with one win and one loss. It has not yet been deter ; mined what method will be used to determine the championship. Dick Kidwell hurled nine-hit ball for the Craters, but ragged i fielding cancelled his good work. ; The Craters collected 12 blows 1 off Bergold WPRC flinger. UAi U ,!( I Telephone 3930 live, M'SPADEN LEADER IN VICTORY MEET WITH CARD OF 64 Chicago, June 29 (U.R) Pro fessional shooters who are In dulging in a hodge-podge of the victory national assorted golf championships at Chicago's Edgewater course, hoped today that they could extend their sub-par assault through the more-important victory open tournament which starts tomor row. In the opening day of the tourney yesterday, when a field of ISO-odd linksmen teed off in foursomes for titles In the pro amateur, pro-lady, pro-senior and team aggregate divisions, 20 players shot par71 or better, with 13 of them under par. While most of the pros and amateurs sought to post their best marks for the newly-introduced competitions, they viewed the two-day 36-hole foursome play chiefly as warm-up for the significant and rich open which will feature 72 holes of medal play from Friday through Sun day for a total of $10,000 in war bonds. In yesterday's 18-hole round, Harold (Jug) McSpaden, Phila delphia pro and top money win ner in 1944, paced the field with a 29-35-64, seven strokes under par. McSpaden's red-hot 29 on the first nine, one of the best rounds ever registered In tournament history, carried his strong four some to a lead in three of the tour Championships. He com bined with the 77 of Dorothy Germain, Drexel Hills, Pa., to lead the pro-lady with a 141; coupled with the 73 of Arnold Ninkley, Chicago, for a 139 in the pro-senior, and posted an aggregate foursome score of 291 strokes to take the lead for the team title at the halfway point. Meanwhile, Sammy Byrd, of Detroit, the ex-New York Yan kee slugger, visualized the Yan kee stadium wall and pounded out a round of 70, which coupled with the 68 of Bob Cochran, St. Louis amateur, to give them a total of 138 and a one-stroke lead over McSpaden and Don Armstrong of Aurora, 111. Byrd and Cochran are the defending pro-amateur champions.
