Nw r.leAier BulUm PortUrvl OregM IN BOUT TONIGHT Paavo Katonen's threat to un ma.sk the Gray Mask or "get whipped in the attempt" will be the main event offering at Med ford Armory tonight when these two head - butting gladiators clash In the final bout on the evening's card. There is expect ed to be little or no actual wrestling in this match, but in stead a lot of unorthodox maneu vers. Katonen has promised to meet the Mask on any terms the mystery man sees fit to use and in the past these have been any thing but legal. The Mask claims that he weighs 180 pounds but wrestlers who have met him in the ring, as well as spectators, complain that he will undoubtedly tip the scales at over 200 pounds. Ernie Plluso and Herb Parks are down for a four-round go in the second spot a match that should be the exact opposite of the final bout. Both are masters at science of the mat game. Another bout that shows pros pect of having no'little amount of rough stuff Is the opener be tween Tony Ross and Rowdy O'Doudy. Ross, who was ham pered by a touch of flu last week, leans toward the dirty side and O Doudy is unquestion ably a character of that type. This match goes to the mat at 8:30 promptly. Pep Wins Decision From Negro Boxer Montreal, Oct. 28 (U.m Featherweight Champion Willie Pep of Hartford, Conn., added another decision to his long rec ord today, a 10-round verdict over Jackie Leamus, negro box er from New York, which he gained unanimously from Mon treal Athletic commission judges last night. There were no knockdowns but Pep was at all times the aggressor, keeping his heavier opponent backpedallng toward the ropes. Pep weighed 127i. Leamus 13114. Thomas Wins Easy Bout At Oakland Oakland.
