The rematch is an aftermath f last Saturday night's brawl between the same two teams which turned into one of the wildest 30 minutes of the cur rent season and ended in a draw. Most of the fans which lacked a little of filling the arena acreamcd and shouted their ap proval and were left limp with excitement when Timekeeper Emil Westvong's gong ended it with each team owning one fall. Newcomer Rough Newcomer Logger Porter dis played a rough nd tough style which drew scattered boos from the fans as he pinned Larry Pres nell two falls out of three. Port cer, who wrestles in black jeans cut off just above the ankle, showed "a lot of strength and apeed in gaining the nod. Cyclone Cobb stopped Joe Hahn in two straight falls in the other match. Hahn fell into n abdominal stretch and was un able to come out for the second go-round. While the tag match rules pro hibited one of the men from wrestling a woman, they did not nrobihit extra - curricular activi ties in the corners and outside cthe ropes. A police officer also got into it when he had to es cort some of the more rabid fans back to their seats when they got carried away with excitement .and approached the ring for bat tle with Hussane. Hunger Takaa First Tall The first fall went to Miss Hunter with a body press. She was locked in a standing body scissors by Miss Bartlett but Miss Hunter fell over backwards, pinning Bartlett to the mat. It took 12 minutes and 45 seconds.

At one time in the match Hussane had Thomas in a full nelson and took him to the corner for Hunter to punch but Thomas slipped out of the hold and Hus sane .caught the full force of the blow on his nose. In another instance Thomas ducked a shoulder butt and the force caught Hunter, who was standing on the apron outside the ropes. Hunter caught Hus sane, on the apron, with a shoul der butt which Bartlett avoided.

They are shown watching well-known golfer Sam Snead as he approached the 17th hole at Desert Inn course, Las Vegas, Nev., during the tournament of champions. Snead was a pre-tourney favorite but Gene Littler was victor. Littler Champ Golf Winner By HAL WOOD United Press Sports Writer -Las Vegas, Nev. OJ.R) It is possible that Gene Littler isn't as much better than the rest of the current field of golfing greats as the records indicate, but he'll do until someth ing better comes along. The quiet man from ' Palm Springs, Califs is only 25 years old and still hasn't won such major eevnts as the National Open or the PGA championships but he proved here again Sun day that he is ready to step into the shoes of Bobby Jones, Ben . Hogan and Byron Nelson. Sure, Littler won the $37,500 Tournament of Champions one of the most difficult feats in Babe Zaharias Blossom Victor Spartanburg, S. C. (U.R) Babe Zaharias apologized for be ing a winner today, stressing ungrammatically that her game "isn't good but it also ain't bad" in her triump'. in the third an nual $5,000 Betsy Rawls Peach Blossom Women's golf , tourna ment. She won it Sunday by two strokes with a total of 293 but complained that on the final day with her shots off the tee "I hit 'em straight but they went crook ed." Second place in the medal play completition went to Marilyn Smith of Wichita, Kan., who had a 295 total and next came Betty Dodd of Fort Worth, Tex., at 297. It was a $1,000 victory for the popular Babe, who finally won this meet after Louise Suggs of Atlanta had taken it two times in a row. Miss Suggs finished fifth Sunday with a 299 total, be hind Marlene Pauer of Sarasota, Fla., who had a 298. Delaney, Costa Share Spotlight New York (U.R) Middle weight contender Ronnie Delan ey of Akron, Ohio, and feather weight hopeful Carmelo Costa of Brooklyn a pair of up-and-coming scrappers with oustand ing records will be sharing the spotlight tonight in two widely-televised f'shts. . Delaney who has lost, only once in 53 professional bouts, engages ring-wise Virgil Akins, St. Louis in a 10-round bout at St. Nicholas ar-a, while Costa, who has been defeated nly two times in 30 starts, meets new comer Tony Puleo in another 10- rounder at Brooklyn's Parkway arena. Monday, May 2, 1955 assist to the partner. At one time Bartlett and Hunter were mixing it in the ring and Thomas came in to keep Hussane from inter fering and all four were going at it full steam, much to the dis pleasure of Referee Buck David son. ' Hunter ripped Davidson's shirt from his back shortly before the match ended and was choking Bartlett with the shreds when Davidson finally took it away from her. After the match was over Hus sane vent his wrath on, Davidson. Thomas, who had left the ring, and Porter, who had just emerged from the dressing room, combined with Davidson to give Hussane a brief but thorough working - over. of Champs by 10 Strokes golfdom. But the story is in how he turned the trick. He whipped the sfar-packed field "by 13 strokes the largest margin ever recorded in a major tournament since Hogan won the $15,000 Portland, Ore.", Open in 1945, by 14. In this field were Sam Snead, Ed Furgol. Dr. Cary Middle coff, Bob Toski, and National PGA champion Chick Harbert. But they couldn't come close to the blond bomber from Califor nia . . "The 72 holes I played in this tournament probably were the greatest I've ever had," said Gene today. Littler said he plans to go from here to Ft. Worth, Tex., for the Colonial Tourn..nent starting Thursday. "I'll play in a couple of other tournaments, then come to San Francisco to get ready for the Open. I'm hoping to win that one this year after coming so close last year." Played It Easy Littler played it easy Sunday. He shot an even-par 72 after taking 10-stroke lead on the field at the end of 54 holes. He had a 72-hole total of 280 blows eight strokes under par for distance. First prize was SI 0,000 in silver dollars the biggest single jackpot the young star evpr has collected. There was a three-way tie for second place, at 293, between Pete Cooper, Birmingham, Mich., Jerry Barber, Los An geles, and Bob Toski, Livings ton, N.J., they each collected 52,566.66 about as much as they usually get for winning a tournament. Ed Furgol, St. Louis, Billy Maxwell, Odessa, Tex., and Dr. Cary Middlecoff , Kramesha Lake, N.Y., finished in a three way tie for fifth at 296 and each picked up $1,326.66. There was another three-way tie at 298 for eighth between Doug Ford, Kia mesha Lake, Harbert and young Bud Holscher, each winning $1240. Pre-tournament favorite Sam Snead and former National Open champion Julius Boros, each with 299, came next and collect ed $1190 each.

SHOULD BE ALL TO SEE 72 TV 1 BRILLIANT MOUND WORK' IN MAJORS ON SUNDAY By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The major leagues' long-suffering hurlers turned back the clock Sunday with the season's most brilliant mound perform ances to celebrate the 35th an niversary of the classic perform ance of 'em all. Bob Feller and Herb Score gave 26,595 Cleveland fans the day's top thrill with a pair of dazzling performances as the In dians downed the Boston Red Sox 2 to 0 and 2 to 1. First, the 36-year-oid Feller hurled the 12th one-hitter of his fabulous career. Then, Score, who was only four years old when ' Feller pitched his first one-hitter in 1938, struck out a season's high of 16 batters and threatened Feller's all-time rec ord of 18 strikeouts in one con test. But that wasn't all. Johnny Antonelli went 16 brilliant in nings to give the New York Arch Moore, Valdes Fight At Las Vegas Las Vegas (U.R) Nino Valdes of Cuba, top heavy weight contender, scaled 209Vi pounds, and light heavyweight champion Archie Moore register ed 196Vi when they weighed in today for their 15-round non title fight this evening at Cash man Field. Las Vegas (U.R) Light heavy weight champion Archie Moore and huge Nino Valdes of Cuba are slated for a 15-round non title fight at twilight today to determine which shall get a Sep tember shot at the heavyweight crown or demand a congressional investigation. Promoter Jack Kearns hopes for 14,000 fans and a gate of $150,000 when Moore and Valdes square away in Cashman Field. However, advance sales indi cated about $70,000 and $75,000. It will not be televised in any fashion. Hotel men in this booming over-crowded gambling center have guaranteed Kearns total re ceipts of at least $100,000. Never theless, the crowd and eate for the most important fight ever staged m the Las Vegas area may decide whether the desert metropolis shall become an im portant fight city. Moore Favored Moore and Valdes fought once before. Ancient Archie won a de cision over Awkward Nino in their 10-rounder at St. Louis. That's one of the reasons he was favored at 7Vz to 5 today, despite the fact that Valdes now is generally rated the world's top heavyweight contender. Whoever wins this fight is pledged to demand a rnnorotcinn. al investigation if he be denied a snot at the heavyweight crown in September. Managers of both principals announced that today. Charley Johnston, Moore's pilot, and Bobby Gleason, Nino's mentor, believe their by-passed when Don Cockell of fcngiand was given the chance to challenge Rocky Marciano at San Francisco, May 16. Johnston said today, "We don't care if there is a return bout contract at San Franrison in case Cockell wins. The man who wins here tonight will fight for the title in September, or boxing will be blown wide open by. a congressional investiga tion." SENATORS NIP PILOTS Salem (U.R) The Salem Senators of the Northwest base ball league defeated Portland University 5-4 here yesterday af ternoon in an exhibition game. We're Setting Sales Records On Spectacular NEW 1955 FILVR3aJK 6's - V-8's We are selling mere Plymouth than ever before because you recognize them as the outstanding 1955 value and because we are making .... TOP TRADE DEALS! DeSofo-Plymouth Giants a 2-1 verdict over th Cincinnati Redlegs; Bob Turley turned in a sizzling four-hitter as the New York Yankees scored a 6-1 win to snap the Detroit Tigers' seven-game winning streak and Ronnie Kline flip ped a seven-hitter as the Pitts burgh Pirates downed the St. Louis Cards 7 to 0. All in all, it was a fitting cele bration for the 29th anniver sary of the famous 21-inning, 1-1 pitching duel between Leon Cadore of Brooklyn and Jo Oeschger of Boston on May 1, 1920. Feller, who holds the modern records of three no-hitters and a dozen one-hitters, pitched a no-hitter for 6 1-3 innings before Catcher Sammy White singled cleanly to center field. White'i hit came after Cleveland catch er Jim Hegan couldn't hold a potential third strike foul tip on a 2-2 pitch. Onlv four Red Sox reached first base safely at Feller gained his first 1955 vic tory and the 263rd of hii ca reer. Score Electrifies Crowd The crowd still was buzzing over Feller's brilliant gama when Score electrified it by striking out nine Red Sox in the first three innines. AfW five frames the 21-year-old south paw had struck out 12 batters and needed only two more to equal Feller's mark set on Oct 2, 1938. He failed to get them but finished the game with a four-hitter and his second mainr league triumph. Antonelli out-lasted five Cin cinnati pitchers, striking out 11 Redlegs and walking only five in a four hour and 13-minute test of endurance. The strong southpaw finally got the run he needed for victory on 16th-in-ning singles by Whitey Lockman, Don Mueller and pinch- hitter Bill Taylor. , . FISHERMEN!
