Oranti Ore. your neighborhood or Lumber Dealer TWO IAIN EVENTS SLATED FOR MAT CARD THIS WEEK Although Walter "Sneeze' Achiu, by defeating George Wag ner last week, won the right to meet Paavo Katonen, Pacific coast light-heavyweight cham pion, on next Thursday night's armory wrestling card, he has indicated to Promoter Mack Lil lard that he intends to pass up the match. Achiu told Lillard that he didn't want to face Katonen in a non-title clash after what hap pened In Salem recently. At that time, in a championship match between the two, Achiu was awarded the victory by - the referee, but the Salem wrestling commission reversed the decision and gave the nod to Katonen. Achiu has appealed his case to the National Wrestling associa tion, but has not yet received its verdict. The husky Chinese grappler told Lillard that he 'would wrestle Kantonen at any time, when the latter put his title on the hlnrV hut thnt nfter the Salem affair he felt he was justi-! fled in refusing to meet the big ; Finnish matman in a non-cham-i pionship, "King's X" bout. With Achiu having placed him self on record thusly, Lillard j plans to stage a double main I event Thursday. Katonen will probably be matched with Wag ner and Achiu against an op ponent as yet unsigned, possibly Pete Belcastro. Reason for the twin main event idea, Lillard explained, is that both Katonen and Achiu deserve top billing, Katonen as befits liis status as coast cham pion and Achiu because of his three straight main event vic W Togs for MAKE THE "'fe..,.

Neither grappler, Lillard said, would accept any thing less than top billing, and to get around that situation he will give them spots of equal im portance. The possibility of Katonen de fending his championship in Medford, at a later date, is good, Lillard said, adding that Paavo had promised he would put up his crown here before returning to California. - And, it could be that the man who will attempt to lift the title is Achiu. For, Lillard said, his present plans are to match the week following the two winners of next Thursday night's double main event. It iff Achiu and Katonen, and Katonen agrees, the two will meet for the diadem July 13.
