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

and will undoubtedly draw the
wrath of the governing body if

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.

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.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
IVVhen the San Francisco Conference ends, the delegates
will have experienced their "first day of school" for the study
of the complex problems of world peace, and for the develop
ment of a curriculum for a permanent school.
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.
