January 20, 1032 PAGE TWO THE EVENING HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON r Steamboat Wants Fight With Becker Jackson' Ambition Provoked by Crow ing Popularity of B o x i n f Wrestler; Sandehl' Challenge Hold Hope of Fin Mat Card. By JOK rifiXEY The obrloui something, unnaturally evasive waa cap tured In Klamath Falte Tues day when Rteamboat Jackson, ehurnlne: hit way through a Southern Oregon flstle career, presented the etory ot aa In jured prld and a rialng am bition. Bttimboit hi paddled around tha Legion ball ring times without end. winning, losing, drawing, but persist ently atrlring for popularity and getting It. Popularity. Jackson la quit certain, easily turns fickle among a never terminating liat of admtrera. ao Steamboat has thoroughly made up his mind not to let thla flrkle-heart "fickle" with out a ahowdowa. Steamboat dropped around to the Legion ball ten days ago to watch a new resident ot Klamath rails. Pete Becker from Colorado, complete a clever, hard-hitting Introduc tion la his six-round victory over Chief Thomaa. the now decidedly tamed wild Indian from Coqntlle. Last Monday Steamboat waa back at the Legion hall scratching his bead with a handful of fingers describing nothing else but dismay and perplexity to ob aene Becker'a further ascend ency Into tha heart of popu larity, thla time in a foxy wrestling triumph orer Pat Be gen. Wyoming eowpuncher. Watching someone else winking at Klamath Falls popularity hurt Jackson's pride the hart pride roused ambition, and then tha ambi tion discovered tha obvious why. a tight with Becker, ot course! e a Jackson wants Becker la the ring for ten rounds, and If Becker can win out the Steam boat doesn't sk a dime not area a nickel not even a cent. That la the aort ot am bition and pride possessed by the young veteran of Klamath county boxing program. . Not often doea a promoter hare a "natural" match auch as this one between Becker and Jackson might be. Jack eon has neither tbe cleverness nor tbe experience ot Becker, but he baa solid determination, a vicious punch, and can real ly take 'am and atlll keep go ing. e e The match is a "natural" simply because both Becker and Jackson want the undivid ed ownership of local populari ty. To retain the favor ha al ready has Steamboat would be out, decks stripped for full speed ahead, to win. and Beck er, to gala tbe following ot tha city, would rouse his nim ble boxing brain and load np that devesting left hand to make a two-dated stand for his rising honors. Among all tha intricate maneuvers of matching there atlll remains that fundamental agreement between three per sons - two fighters and one promoter Inevitably bringing about matches. The promotion already Is one-third completed Steamboat has tended to that and the other two-thirds of the deal Pete Becker and Matchmaker Herb Owen may be willing to look into the matter. The fight fans of the town have started thinking abont the possibilities of this fight. BUI Elliott said Tuesday he had salted five dollars into an unused pocket that he would be willing to bring out for a ringside seat at a Becker Jackson scrap. Becker, fighting around 160 pounds would have a little edge on Steamboat'a 16. Wrestling returned to Klam ath Falls Monday with pleas ant explosions explosions ap parently can be pleasant. Mr. Roy Anderson, one-time per manent main-eventer here, was gone and actually forgotten. Robin Reed, world's welter champion, spun to victory over Sam Romaine, Detroit, In a match packed with a bit of everything. There la bound to be some brilliant wrestling cards In the future. Bill Sandehl, the Dor rla Swede, was back In the ring Just before the main event, to challenge George Wilson, Bob Krnse and Ray Friable. George Wlleon, you remem ber, waa that great Washing ton fullback who piled up Ernie Never a of Stanford In an almost Individual duel for the coaat conference football pionshlp In 1925. Bob Kruse wrestled as an amateur for Multnomah club, and is now one of the outatandlng light heavy attractions on the coast. Ray Frisbie, Medford man, who failed to defeat Sandehl In two vicious attempts, met Wilson at Medford Tueaday night. e e e There can be no mistake about Sandehl. He quit the game about seven yeara ago when he atlll was at the top. Wrestling was In the dumps . then, and the expense of physl. can enemy wasn't worth tha meagre financial profits. There were few men in the country who could defeat Sandehl. In those days, and any of the beet at that weight today , would find the former Swed ish Olympic star an almost too capable opponent. There la atlll another chap Louie Miller, Reno, who for ever spilled Roy Anderson out of the Legion ball ring Coast PACIFIC LOOP TO CONTINUE 7- OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. It.

Since the unhappy days in the Home, Annie has seen life in a big way. She haa traveled by Rolls and by raft. Has kidded cops and been copped by kidnapers. Has fed pigs and a widow's starving children. Has known a millionaire and an empty stomach. Action and suspense pervade the daily stint of Little Orphan Annie. Called comic strip in the parlance of the newspaper, it is often anything but comic. For tears have sometimes dimmed the eyes of readers and of Little Orphan Annie. But her cheer fulness and ingenuity in the face of misfortune have endeared Annie to millions.
