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.
