ERIIIE PILUSO
HATCHED WITH
SERGEANT BOB
Peto Belcastro enemy No. 1
of Pacific coast wrestlers will
gquare off under the armory arc
tonight against the powerful
Armenian, Mike Naiarian, in a
main event that has the fans
hounding the ticket sellers.
Two prospective contenders in
the forthcoming tournament for
the Pacific coast Junior heavy
weight championship, the pair
will present the roughest com
bination brought before local
armory goers in some time.
Nazarian's powerful build and
effective headlocks will be off
set only by Belcastro's superior
speed.
It will be the fiery Italian's
first bout here in many weeks.
In the middle bout popular
Ernie Piluso, Klamath grappler,
will meet Sergeant Bob Ken
aston, former marine from Gold
Hill. This promises plenty of
action and should give the local
sandwich maker the hardest
test he has been given here in
some time.
Promoter Mack Lillard an
nounced that a newcomer Jack
Hagen of Shrevesport, La. will
appear in the opener. For an
opponent, Otis Clingman has
been secured and should pro
vide the new grappler with stiff
competition. Clingman has been
rated among the best in the
business by local followers.
The newcomer has a good
reputation in the east and mid
dle west and comes here on his
first visit to southern Oregon.
The main event will bring to
gether two grapplers whose by
word In the ring is foul play.
Both Belcastro and Nazarian
resort to anything and every
thing in the books and when
bracketed against each other the
result should produce a new
high In action.

Each week that passes furnishes
fresh proof that if the Clove
land Indians do win their first
American league flat; in 20
years, Bobby Feller, like hist
ory's Betsy Ross, will have done
most of the "stitching."
Every game he pitches pro
vides almost indisputable evi
dence that he's going to be the
major leagues' most prolific
winner for 1940 while at the
same time taking rank with the daughter displaying a catch of
past and future baseball greats. : steelhead and a 32 pound ial
Allows Seven Hits ' mon hooked during a recent
Feller won his 20th victory
of the season Monday as he
pitched Cleveland into first
place with an 8-5 victory over
the Detroit Tigers who dropped i
into second. He gave up only i
seven hits while becoming the
first pitcher in either league to
reach the 20-game victory mark.
A spot of wildness in the sev
enth when he walked three
straight made the victory a tight
one. Barney McCoskcy doubled
to score two runs and an in
field out added another.
Feller settled down and
blanked the Tigers the rest of
the way, however. The Indians
loosed a 12-hit attack that in
cluded three home runs and
drove young Hal Newhousor to
cover in the first inning with
three runs. Hal Trosky's 21st
homer drove in two and Beau
Bell's four-bagger, the other.
Roy Weatherly hit his fifth
homer of the year in the fifth
off Clay Smith, who followed
Newhouser. Feller fanned seven
and walked five.
Chicago's White Sox advanced
to within 2M games of third
place in the American league
by shading the St. Louis
Browns, 6-5. The Sox slammed
out 16 hits and led by 5-2 at
one time but the Browns fought
back and tied the score in the
seventh. The Sox clipped Bill
Trotter for a run and the game

Girls of the Wooden Box soft
ball team scored six runs In the
last two innings of a gam with
the Lowell women's ten last
night at Recreation park to
come from behind and defeat
the earstwhile league leaders,
10-8, in a contest marked by
hefty slugging as well as num
erous mlscues.
Win for Wooden Box gives
that club a first-place tie with
Lowell's crew for top position
In the local Softball standings.
Records of the two leaders in
competition with each other
now stands at one victory and
one loss apiece, the Lowell
squad having won the season's
opener from Wooden Box, 8-7.
Baltlger Whipped
In Monday night's opener
Signal-Turner easily triumphed
over the cellar dwelling Bnl
sigcr outfit, running up a 22-7
score on their opponents. Nine
teen safo blows, together with
eight Balslger errors, enabled
the winners to post their second
win of the 19-10 seaion In four
starts.
The Lowell-Wooden Box game
began as a well-played contest
with good pitching and good
fielding, but soon developed
into a free-hitting fracas marred
by a succession of errors. Low
ell's girls opened the scoring
with three runs in the second
made on four Wooden Box er
rors, a walk and Joyce PaUke's
hit.
With the score standing 7-4
favoring the Lowell club going
into the first of the sixth. Wood
en Box proceeded to push across
four markers on two walks and
five Lowell errors to take the
lead from their rivals, 8-7. Two
more runs In the seventh on
three hits gave the winners a
substantial lead of three runs
that was enough to win the
ball game, 10-8.
Near a Tie
Lowell's girls cam within an
ace of tying up the game In the
last of the seventh. With two
runners on the base paths and
two out, Salisbury, who had re
placed Pat Croup on the mound
only minutes before, forced
Third Baseman Skoog uf tho los
ers to ground out to shortstop
for the final out.
Salisbury, Righlflelder Moh
ler and Shortstop Mcggs led the
Wooden Box attack with two
binglcs apiece. Although the los
ers bagged as many hits as their
conquerors, nine, no Lowell play
er made more than one safety.
Best hitters of the Signal
Turner in last night's opening
tussle were Fran Druliner, first
baseman who collected four hits
in five attempts, and Marg Ma
honey and Irene Duncan, two
other infielders who smacked
out three hits each In five tries.
One of Mahoney's hits was a
homer. Temple, Brahe and Bond
of the Balsiger group each col
lected three hits in four trips
to the plate.
