Bm Soft IFir KeftiiDinni Eflaitelhi" GRUDGE EVENT SET TONIGHT AT ARMORY With bli arch-enemy Bulldog Jackson on the sidelines among his hecklers. Dangerous Danny McShain of Hollywood faces Cowboy Dude Chick tonight in return main event struggle at the armory. Growing out of a rough and tumble scrap last week when Danny overcame the tough cow hand with leg holds, the match promises some of the liveliest fireworks seen at the local arena In months. It should prove the toughest test for the ex-world champ from Hollywood in a long time, as Cowboy Dude, always a formidable opponent, is fired to the limit and vows he'll wrap the uncouth Hollywoodite around a ringpost Bulldog Jackson, a bitter loe of McShain's as the result of sev- eral scraps in the Hollywood ring, arrived in Klamath Falls Monday and will probably be on hand tonight to heckle his long-time adversary. That will make the going all the tougher for McShain, whose assignment is tough enough with just the chore of handling the vengeful Wyoming whirler. Last week Chick was so weak ened by a leg injury that he fell an easy victim to McShain for two of three falls- He attempted one airplane spin but was un able to keep the stocky Califor nian atop his shoulders because of his unsteady underpinning. During the last several days Cowboy Dude has been putting in strenuous roadwork. He pro nounces his legs again in fine shape and is confident of a quick win this evening over the scrap py southerner. Just what part Yukon Jake will play in the festivities re mains a mystery, but uneion hand tonight he'll probably be routing for a Chick victory. He is eager to line up another bout with McShain and may have such ideas in mind. On the supporting program tonight are Prince Nihalakis, colorful Arab, who is billed in one bout against Jimmie Good rich, former Notre Dame foot baller, and Frankie Clemens, In dian grappler, who will meet Bobby Chick, Dude's brother, in the other preliminary. It will be the first appearance here of Bobby Chick in several months. The first two bouts will be presented in an order to be de termined by the toss of a coin. The first match is scheduled for 8:30. BASEBALL MONDAY'S RESULTS By The Associated Press AMERICAN LEAGUE New York 8, Washington 4 Philadelphia 9, Boston 1 Detroit 3, Chicago 1 .

Ga., July 2 P) Jack Dempsey, making his first ring appearance in eight years, Monday night scored a second round knockout over Wrestler Cowboy Luttrell. The lumbering Luttrell wad ed into a barrage of rights and lefts at the first bell and only the bell and a good grip on the ropes saved him from a kayo in the opening round. Then in the second round, Dempsey knocked the bulky grappler down for a count of eight immediately after the bell Luttrell got up mainly by in stinct. Dempsey's trip-hammer instantly began whaling the cowboy's face again. Luttrell backed into the ropes and took a count of two and then came out for the las time. Jack shot a right between Lut trell's eyes and the cowboy sailed over the ropes into the press section. The time was one minutes and 58 seconds of the second round. Long after he was counted out and the crowd of 15,000 set up an ovation for Dempsey, Luttrell lay In the aisles and when Milo Steinborn, his wrestler-aide, carted him away to the showers he still didn't know the fight was over. Luttrell's face was mince meat after Dempsey got through with him. The Mauler was un marked except for a few red streaks around his thickening midriff. Dempsey said he felt great and hadn't even worked up a sweat, but his breath came in heaves. T h is fight, which sounded like comic opera to fight cir cles in the east, went over big in Dixie. Dempsey had never fought In the south during his prime, and he was Atlanta! pride. He might have been a decade late but the old punch was still there and when Luttrell land ed outside the ring you would have thought the Mauler had just knocked out Firpo by the tumult that greeted the wal lop.

Veterans of Foreign Wars, a contingent that dropped 11 straight games in 1939 without a win, romped to its second tri umph in two 1940 starts by edging the Elks, 7-5, in Mon day night's first game and gained first place ranking in the National league standings with a record of two wins and no losses. Pitcher's Battle The Weyerhaeuser-Postoffice tilt was a pitchers' battle be tween Broten of the Timbermen and Higbee of the Postmen for three innings, but the champs landed on Higbee for three hits in the fourth frame and a like number in the fifth for five tallies, enough to sew up the game. The Postoffice hurler allowed only seven safe ties but three errors by his teammates contributed to his downfall. Jack Waits, second besaman for the winners, and Ed. Frank lin, left fielder, led the Weyer haeuser attack with two hits apiece. Waits had a homer to his credit while Franklin in cluded a double in his slugging. Catcher Joe Derrah contributed to the long distance hitting with a triple in the fifth. Errors Beat Elk . Five miscues led to the Elks' second 1940 defeat at the hands of the VFW youngsters who came from behind twice to ac count for their two-run mar gin of victory. McCandliss and Michaelson, center fielder and third baseman, respectively, led the victors at the plate with two hits in four tries. Kiger, Elk right fielder, was best for the losers with two hits in three trips to the platter. Box score: V. F. W. AB R. H. E.

July 2 (UP) The month of July, fatal to the New York Giants' pennant chances last year, began In promising fashion Monday when Bill Terry's club scored a 7-1 victory over the Boston Bees to move within m games of first place in the National league. In 1939, the Giants skidded right out of the pennant pic ture during July when batting slumps, suspension of key play ers and injuries sent their first place drive into reverse. The club never recovered and fin ished the campaign in fifth place, 18 H games off the paee. This season, the Giants have bounced into the flag fight with a vigor that promises to make them a constant threat. They won 18 of 20 games last month and if they can storm their way through July, may come into the closing stages of the race as the club to beat. Melton Victorious Cliff Melton gained his sev enth victory Monday as he lim ited the Bees to six hits to give the Giants their fifth straight home victory over Boston. Hom ers by Harry Danning, Tony Luccinello and Mel Ott sparked the Giant drive. The Brooklyn Dodgers punch ed over three runs in the first inning off Hugh Mulcahy and then went on to shade the Phil adelphia Phillies, 43. Enos Slaughter's two home runs created the St. Louis Cardinals to a 3-2 win over the leading Cincinnati Reds, whose margin over the Dodgers shrunk to half a game. Cubs Edged Claude Passeau forced home the winning run with a walk to Paul Waner in the 10th in ning as the Pittsburgh Pirates edged the Chicago Cubs, 4-3. Vince DiMaggio homered, tri pled and singled to pace the j Pirates.

J.. July 2 W) Those two upstanding heavyweights, Tony Gnlvnto and Max Buer, meet in a 15 round fight at tho local ball park tonight, providing, of course, that Tony doesn't get crowned by a relative before he can climb into tho ring. Around 30,000 fans are ex pected to watch the two veter ans fight it out (about 6 p. m. PST) for the right to meet Champion Joe Louis in a Sep tember bout. At least, Golcnto is assured another shot at the champion if he wins tonight. Baer might possibly line him self up for a return with Louis, somewhere, but he would hove to whip the socks off Galento to make Promoter Mike Jacobs and the customers forget his last outing with the big negro. Nothing has happened to change the widespread opinion that Galento will win, probably by a knockout. Tony couldn't possibly get himself into poorer physical condition at the last minute than the experts have thought him to be for a week or two. And the cut he re ceived on his chin from a fly ing beer glass the night before last didn't mar his sterling fighting qualities. In all the excitement attend ing Tony's bout with the beer glass, practically nothing has been heard of Baer for a couple of days. This is a new experience for the ex-champion. There was a time when Max grabbed off the prefight head lines, himself, with dizzy es capades, but he got himself badly over-matched this time. So quiet has Max been, in-1 deed, that he has some ob-1 servers believing he finally has J become serious about this box ing business. Several well known Judges of fighters have 1 said the last few days that, , so help them, they thnk Baer j had worked nimseii inio a siaic of mind where he will go in there and slug it out with Tony tonight until something comes loose.'

Seottle brings to the series a 5' game lead over the closest contenders. Oakland. Portland languishes 22 games behind its host. Unless the Ralnlers get care less or the Beavers begin to show more than they have pre viously, the Seattle club should strengthen Its hold on first place.
