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

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.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21 (U.R)
Promoter Mike Jacobs announc
ed today that Valentin Campolo,

meet Buddy Baer of Livermore,

fact that Campolo lost a 10

The racing officials did say,
however, if more than 20 colts,

be substituted for the new elec

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.
