U.S. Title Disputed
San Francisco (U.R) Leo
Nomellini of the San Francisco
Forty Niners and Lou Thesz
staged a rough and tumble bat
tle last night for the national
heavyweight wrestling cham
pionship and they're both claim
ing the title.
Referee Mike Mazurki ruled
that Nomellini won the National
Wrestling Alliance title while
lying flat of his back out of the
ring, but Thesz howled, "I'm
standing up, so how can I lose
my title?"
Thesz took the first fall of
the match in 28:59 when he re
versed an arm lock by the 250
pound Nomellini, but the chal
lenger bounced back to take the
second fall with a series of fly
ing tackles, the last of which
knocked the 222-pound cham
pion from the ring.
Nomellini won the final fall
when he hit Thesz with a flying
tackle that carried both men
out of the ring. Thesz returned
to the canvas first and twice
kicked Nomellini off the ring
apron as the challenger at
tempted to return. Mazurki dis
qualified Thesz for his action.
Thesz and his manager, Ed
(Strangler) Lewis disputed N'om
ellini's new claim to the cham
pionship and claimed that under
National Wrestling alliance rules
a championship cannot change
hands by disqualification.

Presnell Named
As Mat Referee
Over Objections
Disregarding objections from
Gerry Hunter, the Medford
State Athletic commission and
Promoter Mack Lillard have
again named Larry Presnell, of
'the Portland police department,
as referee for next Saturday's
wrestling card at Merrick 's
arena.
Miss Hunter, who has promis
ed to defeat Tiny Kim and Ella
Kiwalski in 30 minutes or for
feit her pay, says she can't get
a fair deal from Presnell. Lillard
pointed out that her argument
doesn't stand up inasmuch as
she is undefeated here. The
blonde bombshell is still irked
over being thrown around the
ring by Presnell last week after
she slapped his face during . a
match.
"Crybaby" Johnny Dobbs will
test Cyclone Cobb in the middle
match and Yoggi Hussane will
go against Buck Davidson in
