Saturday Wrestling Program Promises
To Be Laden With Explosive Fireworks
Enough fireworks should be
provided in the three matches
set for tomorrow night's wrest
ling card at Merrick's arena to
last the average fan a long time,
Promoter Mack Lillard said to
day. A double main event, each to
be an hour long with one fall
deciding, will bring two of the
vorld's top mat artists here for
their southern Oregon debuts.
They are Lord Leslie Carlton
and Gene "The Body" Stanlee.J
Golden Lion Tricky
Carlton, known as the Golden
Lion of the mat, has a wide
variety of tricks, both legal and
otherwise, which he uses on op
ponents. But in Cyclone John
nie Cobb he will be up against
a foe who is exceptionally fast
for a big man and also knows
more than his share of the sly

stuff. Cobb likes to do his wrest
ling as it is specified in the book
of rules but if Carlton wants it
otherwise he will find Cobb right
in there pitching.

Mr. America title and known the

que, will have a chance to match
muscles with one of the game's
strongest in Logger Porter. The
roly-poly Washington lumber
jack is a roughouse expert who
specializes in any number of
pinning holds. His open-handed
swats to a foe's neck resound
throughout the area and his
alertness and aggressive style
have won him many local fol
lowers. Stanlee, who has to take
a back seat to no one when it
comes to mat skill, just might
have his hands full.
Styles Similar
"Swami," who serves as Carl
ton's valet, picks up a few extra
sheckles as a preliminary grap
pler on cards with his master.
Here he goes in with veteran
Yoggi Hussane and the match

Reports No
Offer Made
By RUSS GREEN
Philadelphia (U.R) The
State Athletic Commission re
cessed its fight doping investiga
tion until next Monday after
Harold Johnson testified he re
ceived no offer to throw his bout
with Julio M e d e r o s but that
"someone took it u n o n them-
selves to see I didn't fight my
best."
" Clarence (Skinny) Davidson,
trainer of Johnson, was in the
witness chair when the three
man commission called a halt for
the weekend Thursday. Ques
tioning of the portly Davidson
will resume when the investiga
tion picks up again next week.
Johnson Warned v
The commission warned light
heavyweight contender Johnson,
Davidson and four other respon
dents not to discuss the case
with anyone during the recess.
"Get in touch with the com
mission immediately if anyone
attempts to talk to you," they
were warned.
Davidson underwent exami
nation by deputy state Atty. Gen.
Herbert Levin after Johnson
closed two days of testimony
with statements that no bribe
offer was made to him to lose
the nationally-televised bout of
May 6 and no one suggested to
him that he lose.
Johnson collapsed shortly
after the end of the second
round of the bout with Mederos,
losing on a technical knockout.
A commission physician testified
Johnson's system showed traces
of a sleep-inducing drug.

International Boxing guild, was
expected to be the star witness
today at the final fact-finding
session of the New York State
Athletic Commission's inquiry
into the fight game.
Chairman Julius Helf and an
grily ordered Daly to appear as
a witness at today's session or
to be classified as "one who re

to penalties. At Thursday's ses

a newly hired attorney to study
the situation..

Tex Pelte, Daly's managerial
associate, made a similar request
and received a similar caustic
order to testify today.
Daly and Pelte are key men
in the case involving welter
weight Vince Martinez of Pater

implies has been "grounded"
by the powerful International
guild.
Martinez, third-ranking 147
