May . t.T) All Baba, the terrible Turk from the United States navy. Is now the world's heavyweight wrestling champion, as those things go; and the "wrestling trust" can take it or leave it. Ali Baba (born Arteen Eklilan) took Mr. Dick Shikat, the terrible Teuton, in hand at Madison Square Garden last night and flung him hither and thither with gusto and abandon. After 53 minutes and 37 seconds of that sort of tiling, Mr. Baba (SOS lbs.) got a crotch hold on Mr. Shikat (327) and heaved him heavily to the mat. As Mr. Shikat lay there trying to remember if he had left the light on in the bathroom at home, Mr. Baba leaped upon him with a body press, and this week's wrestling match of the century was over. Oistoniors Get Frightened ... . Ali mav be slowing iin. hprmiRA it took him only 46 minutes and 40 seconds to destroy shikat's faith in human natnrA at their former meeting in Detroit, April 20. Two or. three times during the roughhouse last night Mr. Baba appeared to be in agony, but the grunting was about even.. Shikat groaned loudest.' . but the Turk put more feeling In it. Mr. Joe Humphreys, the world famous announcer, introduced All Baba as "a new terror tvne of Turk," thereby frighteninr a couple of customers Into a sound sleep. After it was over, Alt Baba consented to have his arm held aloft while' he was proclaimed "champion of the world,", and he bowed like an ambassador. There was none of that ribald stuff like "Hello. Mom, Hello, Pop." Ho is the dignified type. -Groan Don't Count " All the time Ali Baba was bow ing. Shikat was rolling around on the floor groaning like nobody's business; . but the bout waa over, and the groans didn't count. ' The printed program ' stated that "no wrestler appearing on this card is under the control of the wrestling trust." This was very cheering to the customers, of course. . Mr. All Baba's mustachlos fas. einated Herr Shikat, and on two occasions he Teached out . and yanked them with great glee. Such tactics are frowned upon by all lovers of good clean sport, and the referee reprimanded Mr. Shi kat severely. ' Mr. Baba was by far the most courteous of the two behemoths of brawl, for every time be hap pened to sock Mr. Shikat in the nose he put forth his ring hand indicating he was ready and will ing to forget his mistake. ' Shikat had no time to be shak ing hands, most of his minutes being occupied with figuring out ways and means of keeping from being pinned to the mat, which is the object of the game.

Mara and Esplanade 627 Klamath RED SOX CLUB GAINS M Bickers String Along With Boston for American ' - Flag. By The Associated Pross The basebul! soothsayers are hurrying to amend their choices as the Red Sox gain momentum and the Detroit Tigers find bar riers heaped along the way. Many of the experts, Includ ing Broadway's noted picker, Juck Doyle, have leaped from the bandwagon of the Tigers to string along with the team Tom Yawker built. Thoy figure that with Hank Greenberg out of the Tigers lineup for more than a month with a broken wrist, and Lefty Grove, Wea Ferrell, Jlm-1 nile Foxx and the rest clicking in top form with the Sox, the odds are on the Boston team to lead the way down the stretch iu late September. Another pros pect Is that the Yankees, with a finei all-around pitching staff and Joe Dt Magglo and Krankio Crosettl playing sensationally, may take command of proceed ings. Fifth Win in Row Grove turned In his fifth straight victory and his third shutout of the season Tuesduy as the Red Sox beat the Tluurs 1-0 with 18,100 of Uoston'i faith ful in tho stands. Lefty guve five lilts and Roger Cramor and Dusty Cooke guve him aumu great hacking, robbing the Tig' ors of at least three two-bug' gers with spectacular plays. Mickey Cochruuo, back In the game despito his injured toot, lilt a double and a slnglo. Kldon Auker, on the mound for Detroit, allowed only seven hits. Grove's win, however, featur ed pitching performances only be cause it was the fifth in succs slon. The chaplct' for the out standing exhibition goes to slend er Danny Mncfnydun of the Bos ton Bees who beat the St. Louis Cards 1-0, allowing , ouly three hits. lie bested Paul Dean who allowed only five safeties. The lone run was made when Bill Urbanakl smashed a triple and Oene Moore followed with a sin gle. . Ited Hurler Stars Other fine pitching chores In cluded one by young Gene Schott of the Reds, who pitched five hit ball in a 6-1 victory over the Giants; Jim Weaver's alx-htt pitching which gave the Plratos a 4-0 shutout over the Dodgers: Bill Lee's five-hlttor which en abled the Cuba to defeat the Phillies 6-4, snd Pat Mulone's feat of completing his first game since 1934 to give the Yankees an 8-2 decision over the luck less Browns. In other games, the Athletics defeated the White Son. 8-5 with Wally Moses endlnn-the game in drnmatlo fashion with a home run smash with two on and two out In the tenth Inning, and the Cleveland Indians brought lomo timely hitting Into piny to do tout the Senators 6-4.

FORD V-8 TRUCKS DO MORE WORK AT LESS COST. because they have MOTS- MM ON long or short, hauls up steep grades through gravel or gumbo, Ford V-8 trucks have the reserve power to deliver their loads on , schedule and no favors asked.' The mighty V-8 engine is conservatively rated by Ford at 80 horsepower more than is needed for most work. . . . And this is one of the main reasons for a Ford truck's economy. Because, with so much reserve power, the Ford V-8 does its work easier, with less effort. The engine operates effi ciently and at low cost because it is usually below "peak." The whole truck, straight through to the rear axle, gives you longer life than would be possible with a relatively under-powered, over worked unit. And V-8 power is coupled with' 'extra strength in the Ford truck. . . . Frame, clutch, rear axle, in fact, the whole chassis, including springs, is rug gedly built to insure users the greatest possible freedom from servicing cost. r.s r V ,.- But the best way of all for you to learn for your self exactly what a Ford V-8's reserve power and extra strength means, is to try it on your own job with your own loads, and check the results. Call your nearest Ford Dealer today. He will gladly lend you a 1936 Ford V-8 truck for an "on-the-job" test, without charge and without obligation.
