Chinese Mat Star Rated Favorite In Armory Bout TONIGHT'S CARD "Sneeie" Achliu vs. Tony Moielli. Kenny AcklM ti. Goorgei Dusette. Antont Leon vs. Tony Hon. Walter "Sneeze" Achieu and his Chinese smother hold have been installed as favorites to beat rampaging Tony Morclli in the headline bout of tonight's three match wrestling card at Medford armory. Morelli, who taped a piece of metal to his hand be tween rounds of last week's main event and then was aisquuimeu by Referee Earl Yoakley, will be closely scrutinized by the Med ford Boxing Commission tonight and will undoubtedly draw the wrath of the governing body if he tries to pull any "funny siuii 1 5. WmWw f I PARTS and SERVICE I against Achieu. The former Olympic ' games star claims Achieu's Chinese sleeper is nothing more than a glamorized choke hold so plans to rely mainly on his own pet smother hold to subdue the speedy jlu-jltsu expert. Georges Dusette, coast Junior heavyweight champion who has yet to lose a match in the local grunt establishment, will have his hands full if Kenny Ackles, the Hollywood Wonder Boy, lives up to advance publicity. Ackles is sold to be every bit as fast and clever as Dusette and rail birds predict a thrilling bout, with the outcome unpredictable. Antone Leone, who has been a main eventer in the southland for the past several months, tackles Tony Ross in his. Initial appearance here with Leone rated a slight favorite although Ross has an excellent chance to turn the tables. They go to the mat at 8:30. GETS FOUR HITS TO BEAT PIS SCORES YESTERDAY .

(U.R) Giant Outfielder Johnny Rucker has a drastic but effective meth od for prolonging a hitting streak and so today at last he is fulfilling hopes of the folks in Crabapple, Ga., who felt all along he was the state's greatest ball player since Ty Cobb. Yes terday, with four hits, he batted in four runs in a 9 to 8 triumph over the Phillies at Philadelphia. He helped build an early. 7 to 0 margin which enabled Relief Pitcher Ace Adams to salvage the victory when starter Bill Voiselle blew up and the Phils tied the score. Cards Split The St. Louis Cards, who had trouble at Pittsburgh last season ran into more of the same yes terday. After winning the open' er of a double bill, 4 to 2, on Harry Brecheen's seven hit pitching, the Cards were ham mered like sand-lotters to lose the second, 11 to 1. The Boston Braves gave Nate Andrews a two run lead in the first inning and he checked the Dodgers thereafter to win. 3 to 1, at Brooklyn. The Red Sox won their fifth straight, topping Washington, 4 to 0, at Boston on four-hit pitch ing by Jim Wilson, who won his first major league game. Benton Top Hurler Al Benton, back at Detroit after a navy hitch, became top pitcher of the season, beating Chicago, 2 to 1, for his third victory, a four hitter. . The Yankees handed Russ Christopher of Philadelphia his first defeat, 6 to 4, after he had won three. Rookie Allen Gettel pitched the Yankees into a first place tie with Chicago In his debut, hurling a six-hit game. Pitcher Allle Reynolds of Cleveland had a nine inning no- hit, no run game within his 13 Inning, 2 to 1 victory over the Browns at St. Louis in the first night game of the year. Cincinnati at Chicago in the National was rained out.

Everyone everywhere should clearly understand that this Conference is the most important international meeting in history. "We can be thankful that our nation is represented by wise and experienced statesmen with a sincere desire for peace, and we are. sure the other nations have the same type of rep resentation. The Conference will furnish the leadership and the plan, but peace depends upon the peoples of the United Nations upon their will to peace, upon their sacrifice for peace, upon their works of peace. .The difficulties are enormous, some of the problems can not be solved immediately, and compromises will be made by all nations in order to arrive at conclusions that .will be fair to all countries. ' The Conference cannot create an enduring peace. But it will lay the foundations for a plan for peace to be put into effect as soon as possible, and which we and future genera tions of the world must maintain. Let us be sparing in our criticism and generous with" our encouragement and constructive suggestions. And above all let us pray that the thinking people of the world will take advantage of the opportunity afforded by the "first day of school" and build continuously toward an en during peace.
