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

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.

Army Of Sportsmen Expected
To Invade Alaska After War
By William Beit
' United Press Staff Correspondent
San Francisco, June 29. 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

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

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.

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.

Browns today and unless an an
tidote is discovered in the very
near future the "patients" may
as well abandon hopes of being
up and around at world series

St. Louis opened its crucial
three-game series with the New
York Yankees here yesterday
and played like anything but
league-leaders in dropping the
fourth of the five games they
have played in New York this
season, 7 to 2.
The Boston Red Sox set the
Chicago White Sox down for
the eighth consecutive time this
season and knocked them from
second to fourth , place, the
Yankees taking over the runner
up spot. Manager Joe Cronin's
seventh inning double provided
the marginal tally for Boston's
4-3 triumph in a twilight con
test. Dick Siebert's inside-the-park
homer with a mate aboard
broke a 3-3 tie and paved the
way for a 7-3 victory for the
Philadelphia Athletics over the
last place Cleveland Indians.
