I Wrestling fnns who like their
i bone-bending rough and tough
will undoubtedly get a rare
treat tonight when Pete Belcas-
tro and Rough Rufus Jones
rivals outside the ring as well
as In, square off to settle
three-weeks old grudge which
has seen Belcastro lose three
limes to the husky Detroit
Negro.
The Weed Assassin Is partlcu
j larly Irod over losing last
1 week's match on a foul because
he did not release a surfboard
soon enough to please Referee
Norval Slockstill. Belcastro
said he will knock Jones so stiff
tonight that there will be no
question about releasing any
holds. Jones sent word to Pro
moter Mack Lillard that he was
not particular who the new re
feree will be so long as he is
able to handle himself in the
i ring. In the telephone conver
sation with the promoter Jones
forecast a short but rugged
' match and repeated that he
could "whip that Italian any
day of the week."
Herb Parks and the veteran
Gray Mask square off In the
other half of a double main
event, a match that has been
somewhat over-shadowed by the
Belcastro-Jones go. Parks, yet to
get a crack at the crafty head
butting artist, has vowed to suc
ceed where a long Jine of others
have failed to stop the hooded
monster.
At the request of fans who
were thrilled by their match
last week, Angelo Martinelli
and Ben Sherman, two sensa
tional grappling artists, will
test their strength and skill
against each other in the 8:30
opener.

New York, Dec. 20 (U.FD
Just as they took batting honors
with Phil Cavarretta and pitch
ing ribbons with Hank Borowy,
the Chicago Cubs also won the
1945 National league fielding
title, official league averages re
leased today disclosed.
The Cubs, turning in only 121
errors In 155 games, compiled a
team fielding mark of .980,
three points better than the St.
Louis Cardinals. The Cincin
nati Reds were third with .976
followed by New York with
.973. Pittsburgh with .971, Bos-1
ton with .969, and Brooklyn and
Philadelphia tied at .962.
Stan Hack Honored
Despite their team title, how
ever, the Cubs won only two in
dividual fielding titles, Stan
Hack topping the third basemen
with an average of .975 and
Andy Pafko turned in the best
outfield mark, .995.
Other individual titles went
to:
First baseman, Babe Dahlgren,
Pittsburgh, .996.
Second baseman, Emil Ver
ban, St. Louis. .9781 against
.9778 for Pete Coscarart of Pitts
burgh. Shortstop, Eddie Miller, Cin
cinnati, .975.
Catcher, Ken O'Dea, St. Louis,
.995.
Pitchers Flawless
Thirty-two pitchers fielded
flawlessly during the season but
Claude Passeau of the Cubs was
put on top because he handled
the most chances, 69, without
making an error.
The all-star fielding team
would be completed with Vince
DiMaggio of Philadelphia and
Goody Rosen of Brooklyn in the
outfield. Among the regular
flychasers they finished next to
Pafko DiMaggio with a mark
of .994 and Rosen with a .993
average.
For the first time In the his
tory of the National league, no
catcher appeared In as many as
iuu games. O Dca and Al Lopez
of Pittsburgh came closest to
the mark, appearing in 91 con
tests each. By catching 91
games Lopez established an all-
time major league record fnr
games caught in a lifetime
1,805.
