February 21, 1940 PAGE EIGHT THE NEWS AND THE HERALD. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON NEGRO SENDS BOB THROUGH ROPES TO END GRUDGE BOUT ' Dixie's ebony exponent of wrestling, King Kong Clayton, last night made the European war look like an old maid's game of croquet when ho battered his way to a two-out-of-three fall victory over Sergeant Bob Ken aston in a bloody grudge battle at the armory. Delighting more than 2000 rav ing fans who packed every nook and cranny to watch a tussle that was thown open to the pub lic, the bull - shouldered black boy lowered his fuzz covered skull and gave the scowling ex-marine from Gold Hill a ra-a-tat-tat that accounted for two of the tumbles. Then when Sergeant Bob asked for more, the berserk ne gro battered him out of the ring to wind up one of the fastest and wildest bouts ever wit nessed by Klamath Falls clients. Clayton Satisfied ' It cost the Alabama boy just $75, this brief but bloody ex hibition, but the business-like way in which he went about it convinced fans that Clayton got' his full measure of satis faction.'" It all happened in less than ' 10 minutes, from the first wild haymaker to the final plunge through the ropes, and then while Clayton was stalking out of. the arena a rabid spectator smashed him over the head with a chair to throw the fans in an uproar. With Kenaston still stretched out at the feet of the ringside customers where he had caromed off the edge of the platform, Clayton decided he had given his opponent enough. He left the ring, and as he was going through the crowd someone picked up a chair and hit him ' over the head. The fans clam Ham4 nntn thi nlntfnrm to watch what looked like a free-for-all, but police calmed the disturb ance.

Kenaston immediately gat down In his corner, iook ou his shoe, and crammed in the currency, lacing back up bis footgear for safe .keeping. . Then before the timekeeper could ring his gong Clayton brushed past Referee Earl Y oak ley and pounced on the unsus pecting mariner. Kenaston still ioH nn hi rlrpssintf robe. In stead of trying to elude the negro, however, the Gold Hill boy swung a fist from the floor and bowled the Alabama boy over backward, landing on him to take the first fall.. - Before the intermission got underway Clayton ' again at tacked the big marine, this time playing for keeps. The two came together with fists landing in a ' steady barrage, but Clayton soon pounded his opponent to the mat with his deadly skull taps to win the second fall. Then he took another one in the same manner to bring the match to Pint 90c .. BMm Qt $1.75 UMM 1 t -j l pww. Field Shrinks for Sixth Running of Santa Anita BY JACK GUENTHER United Press Racing Editor ARCADIA, Calif., Feb. 21 (U.R The field for the sixth running of the Santa Anita derby began shrinking today surprisingly enough but when all noses were counted it still appeared a record number of 25 three-year-olds would go after the $50,000 purse on Thursday. None of the top contenders dropped out, but some 10 of the more uncertain eligibles were declared cither officially or unofficially after the manage ment of the green Santa Anita plant announced definitely that the race would not be split re gardless of the ultimate size of the field. a legal close. Kenaston, still able to come back for more, reopened the slugging bee, but the negro battered him into the ropes and then slugged him onto the floor to end the fight. Fans Wait Outside Scores of fans waiting out side for the regular three-bout card to end stormed into the armory to watch the free grudge battle. It was one of the largest crowds registered here in years. The regular mam event went to Pete Belcastro in short order. The Klamath Assassin, re turning to th local grappling arena after an absence of several months, lost the opening fall to Dutch Schultz, bearded Ger man meanie, when the latter pushed Belcastro half through the ropes and then applied a punishing Boston crab. . - ' Belcastro came back in a wild mixup with a surf-board, putting on the pressure with so much gusto that the unpopular nazi was unable to come back for the third session. Piluso Wins In the regular middle event Ernie Piluso won the third and deciding fall from Prince Nina- lakis of Arabia with a double winglock, ending a whirlwind session of dropkicks, sonnen- bergs and flying headlocks. Piluso won the first fall of the spectacular match with a series of sonnenbergs and the Prince won the middle tumble With drop-kicks. ... In a fast, scientific opener, Bob Cummings, clever Winged M maunan, won the deciding fall from Joe Lynam with, a back- breaker. Cummings used a short- arm scissors to take the first fall and Lynam used a flying headlock for the second. It was announced that Clara Mortensen, world's champion woman wrestler, will appear in an added feature of next week's card. It will be a ladies' night program.

Marshall, who had hoped to be substituted for Campolo, will fight a co-feature ten-rounder on the same card against an op ponent to be named later, Jacobs added.

Klamath Billiards Cafe 630 Mai,, f The racing officials did say, however, if more than 20 colts, geldings and fillies lined up an old-fashioned tape barrier would be substituted for the new elec tric starting gate. Although as many as 21 candidates have started In a single rate at Santa Anita in the past, a tape never has been used. Owners and trainers will drop the names of the starters through the entry box tomor row. The weather forecast calls for blue skies for the next two days so the brown loam racing strip Is expected to be crisp and fast for the helter skelter scramble after the rich est three-year-old turf prize in the west. - BASIN TEAMS IN CRUCIAL TILT TONIGHT Gunning for the champion ship that barely eluded them last winter, Molatore's Cafe hoopsters tonight will attempt to sew up the Klamath Basin Basketball league crown at the armory court with another vic tory over First National Bank, other finalist in the post-season playoff series. Last Thursday the cafemen trounced the bank ers, 47-16, to gain the edge in the chase for the pennant. First National, probably the most improved club in the league over last year, will give everything it has to score a win and get back in the race. Vic tory for the bank cagers to night will extend the series an other evening with the outcome of tomorrow night's battle then to decide the issue. If the bank crew does eke out a decision tonight, tomorrow night's bat-i tie is bound to be a donnybrook with everything at stake for both teams. . Last year Molatore's Cafe dropped the final game of the playoffs to Gienger's Grocery of Chiloquin and thereby lost the championship. The G i e n g e r squad, paced by Cliff McLean and Ted Schopf, was fairly in vincible last season, losing not a single league start in 16 con tests. Molatore's reached the fi nal bracket all right but fell easy victim to the powerful Chiloquin offense. Undoubtedly Coach Tom Fante will send his best lineup against the First Nationals to night in an attempt to cop the title in a hurry. Ernie Bishop and Jim Aiello probably will be stationed at the forward slots. Olson and Douglas will handle the guard positions and Lou Aiello will take over center du ties. Bill McDonald, a capable reserve at either forward or guard, will possibly enter the fray at intervals to relieve a tired team mate. Captain Howard Scroggin probably will start "Smoky" Stover and Don Godbey at the front line positions, himself at center and Bill Rice and Glen Jones at guard. Possibly Russ Marshall, speedy guard, will see action but a bad ankle may keep mm on tne sidelines. The Molatore - First National tilt is scheduled to start at 8 p. m.
