Saddler Retains Featherweight
Mantle in Scuffle With Eiorde
By SCOTT BAILLIE
San Francisco U.P.) Sandy
Saddler, who never will receive
a good sportsmanship award,
strutted into his seventh year as
the world featherweight cham
pion today while irate fans
jeered in vain.
The little Pier Six brawler
from New York- City defended
his crown Wednesday night by
scoring a technical knockout
over Flash Eiorde of the Philip
pines when the contest was
halted in the 13th round because
of the islander's bleeding left
eye.
As soon as the bout was over
the Cow Palace switchboard was
flooded by long distance tele
phone calls from television fans
protesting the champ's tactics.
Bloody Rhubarb

fairly slow affair, was a bloody

rhubarb from the fifth round on.
Eiorde, who spent a good part
of the night trying to keep his
face away from Saddler's grind
ing head, began to bleed from
the mouth in that heat.
Eiorde, fighting with typical
Filipino courage began to look
his best after he complained in
the fourth and sixth rounds
about being butted and held.
After registering his second
protest, Eiorde sailed into the
champion with a barrage of lefts
and rights that sent Saddler des
perately retreating to the ropes.
Six hard lefts caught Saddler
during this assault.
Then in the ninth he turned
Saddler's nose into a fountain
with a series of lefts and rights.
But the champ's seconds plugged
this at the bell and Eiorde began
to fade after that.
The Garners, said to be one
of the finest trampoline duos in
America, have achieved an am
bition traveling with the cele
brated Harlem Globetrotters
basketball team as an accomp-,
anying added attraction. The
Garners, young Jimmy and his
pretty wife, Yvonne, will be part
of the added "floor show"- when
the Globetrotters come to Cra

Jimmy Garner, a native of
Oklahoma who moved to Calif
ornia at an early age, began do
ing tumbling and trampoline
work at the age of 11. He won
the Los Angeles, California State
and Pacific Coast championships
for two years in tumbling, par
allel and horizontal bars. In 1947
he won the U.S. National Ama
teur championship.
In 1950 he went into show
business and teamed with
Yvonne in the leading night
clubs and theaters of America,
including the famed Latin Quar
ter in New York City. Mrs. Gar
ner started as a dancer and first
appeared on the stage when five
years old. At 13 she started do

later was doing a professional
act. .

Tornado Aggregation
Takes On GP Cavemen
Medford high's cage aggrega
tion, carrying the pressure of the
loop favorite and a high state
rating, goes against Grants Pass
this week end in the Southern
Oregon Conference. And, while
the Black Tornado players are
picked to win, they are going
into the encounters with assump
tion that the Cavemen are "very
hungry for raw meat." v
The two clubs vie at Grants
Pass on Friday and at Hedrick
junior high here on Tuesday
with junior varsity prelims each
evening. In other SO loop con
tention Ashland plays both
nights at Klamath Falls.
Tornado drill was expected to
lighten off this afternoon after
a hard workout yesterday. After
their tiring scuffles at Klamath
Falls over last week end, the
locals took it f,airly easy on Mon
day. Practice picked up tempo
Tuesday as the Tornado went
over tactics which Grants Pass
is expected to use and worked
on its own defense.
At last report from Coach
Frank Roelandt, regular guard
Lloyd Cearley was on the sick
list at the start of the week but
the rest of the squad members
are okeh.
Medford will be shooting for a
clean sweep this week. If that
can be done, the Tornado will
be in a good position to go on
to its second successive confer
ence and district banner. A pair
of victories would keep for the
Pear city its unbeaten loop mark
at the halfway point. The titles
wouldn't be cinched by any
means but the pressure would
be on the other members of the
circuit to catch up.

Tenmile Lake Request
Salem flJ.R) Gov. Paul Pat
terson said today he would con
sider a request by Coos Bay area
residents to restore Tenmile lake
as a trout fishing area.
A group of citizens from Coos
county appeared before the gov
ernor here yesterday. They said
perch had taken over the once
trout-rich lake and were eating
about all the fish food. A Lake
side group said business had
dropped off 64 per cent in re
cent years because fishing was
no longer attractive.
Tenmile lake is just off the
