Wild Mixed Tag Tussle Ends in Draw;
Foursome Rematched for No Time Limit
Mack Lillard today rematched
Gerry Hunter and Yoggi Hus
aane to meet Bonnie Bartlett and
Champ Thomas in a no-time-limit-miied
tag team match head
lining next Saturday night's
wrestling card at Merrick's are
na. 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.
Thomas grabbed the evener
when ht pinned Hussane in
seven minutes and 40 seconds

MEDFORDITES AT LAS VEGAS It's not customary to pur
posely run a picture two days in a row on The Mail Tribune
sports pages but identity of two persons in the picture was
missed ,wheff this mat service photo ran in the Sunday paper.
Links fans, however, were quick to spot them in glancing at the
page yesterday. Second from left is Dr. L. Paul Walker, presi
dent of Rogue Valley Country club, and seated in the center of
the photo is George Harrington, manager of RVCC. 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

Babe Zaharias apologized for be

ungrammatically that her game

in her triump'. in the third an

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,

of Brooklyn a pair of up-and-coming
scrappers with oustand

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

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

Thomas, who had left the ring,
and Porter, who had just
emerged from the dressing room,

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.

ed 196Vi when they weighed
in today for their 15-round non
title fight this evening at Cash

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

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

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

equal Feller's mark set on Oct

but finished the game with a
four-hitter and his second mainr
league triumph.
Antonelli out-lasted five Cin
