Title Rematch
At Grants Pass
Wednesday Night
Grants Pass Matchmaker
Elton Owen has announced that
John Paul Henning and Bull
Savage will collide at the Grants
Pass wrestling arena Wednesday
night in a showdown, no time
limit match for the Pacific
northwest heavyweight champ
ionship. The Grants Pass state boxing
commission held up the grap-
pling title belt after a match be
tween the two last week although
Savage, 218-pound Chicagoan
was officially awarded the final
fall by Referee Luther Lindsey.
Lindsey reportedly could not see
that Savage was using an illegal
rope leverage on Henning, the
215-pound title defender, who
hails from Florida.
i Savage is said to be ired at the
commission's action but can get
the belt this time if he can beat
Henning with a legitimate hold.
Henning is also raging because
the commission took the belt. He
has stated he'll go all out to win
it back.
Luigi Macera, 205, from Mont
real, and Thor Hagen, 204, Min
nesota, will meet in the semi-final
at the arena at the Josephine
county fairgrounds. It will be
for two-out-of-three falls or for
an hour limit. Hagen surprised
fans by lasting an hour with
Lindsey last week.

Baker, Valdes
Matched In 10
Rounder Dec. 7
Cleveland (U.R) Promoter
Larry Atkins announced today
that Bob Baker of Pittsburgh
and Nino Valdes of Cuba, the
two "giants" of the heavyweight
division, have been matched for
a 10-round challengers' fight at
the Cleveland Arena, Dec. 7.
Atkins said the winner of this
return bout will get a title shot
at Rocky Marciano, probably in
June.
Baker, weighing about 213
pounds, is ranked second among
contenders, just behind top-rat
ed Archie Moore. Valdes, scal
ing about 207, is ranked third.
Baker won a disputed deci
sion over Valdes on May 21,
1953, at Huntington, W. Va. The
big Cuban has improved consid
erably since then. In his last
fight on Sept. 13, lofty Nino
knocked out ' England's Don
Cockell in the third round. Mar
ciano had required nine rounds
to dispose of Cockell in their
title fight at San Francisco, May
16.
Wally Moon To Play
In Puerto Rico Loop
St. Louis, Mo. (U.R) Wally
Moon, who as an outfielder was
1954's National league rookie of
the year, will spend the winter
playing in the Puerto Rican
league to improve his chances
of taking over as first baseman
for the St. Louis Cardinals next
season, General Manager Frank
Lane announced Monday.
Moon ranked second only to
Stan Musial among the Cards'
regular hitters last season, and
is now regarded as their No. 1
first baseman since Musial has
been returned to the outfield.
But Lane said he would give
Joe Cunningham and Tom Al
ston a "thorough chance" at
first during spring training.
Both have had a shot at it at
various times in recent years.
