Fast Action Slated For Armory Card Tonight's card, starting with a . six-man rassle royal and ending with a trio of three-canto bouts, . is slated to start the grapple year off with an explosion and is not ' able for the return of Brutal Jack Lipscomb to Klamath ring ; wars. Surly Jack U even more surly now that he no longer sports the Pacific coast junior heavy crown, the diadem having been lifted from his well-muscled head by able-bodied Joe Lynam in a recent Portland scuffle. Lipscomb will be tossed into the communal ring with' Weed's pride and joy, Pete Belcastro, Angelo Martinelli, Herbie Parks, Earl Malone and Gloomy Gust Johnson to try his luck from there. - .? . All tiffs after the mass muscle will be of three 10-minute rounds ' duration but the financial, re turns for the grapplers 'scaled on a main-event, semi-windup 'and curtain-raiser basis. In other- words, the first two men thrown in the roundup come back for three rounds at prelim pay, next duo have three cantoes with semi-final bracket pay and the- two most- hardy fight the main go. This business is something new to Lipscomb, who refused to fight anything but beadliners while he had the coast title. Herbie Parks also has a title be hind his name, a Canadian c.-own, but he is easy to Bet along with and doesn't - object to taking part in lesser bouts. Tuesday night was selected for tonight's rassfing and for all bouts this year because the old Friday night date conflicted with high school and other athletic events almost every week. The scuffling tonight is slated to start at 8:30 in the armory, with Waljy Moss as referee. $175,000 Swobbie in 5 . i.ij Vs t ,"1 r ft ii J5CPCDCBTO Reluctant Elk Harem Moved To New Home In Wilderness SEATTLE, Jan. 8 (&) Nine reluctant elk were barged off an island in a river, trucked 70 miles and turned loose in a wild and isolated valley of northwest Washington after an arduous day-long struKKle by a crew of state game department men last weekend. Game Director Don Clarke gave this account: The elk. on 80-acre Snominl mie island in the Snoqualmie river, had been problems for years. It was necessary to bury 2U of me animals, wnicn nan not survived last winter. A recent count showed 12 elk one bull, two calves and nine cows. A corral was built and stocked with food. Nine elk went Into the corral: the other three nosed about dubiously outside. An Walker Cooper, star pre war and wartime catcher of the St. Louis Cardinals, who has been swapped off to the New York Giants for a bag of currency reported to con tain $175,000, at present is earning some $54 a month swabbing decks at Lambert field where he is stationed in the navy as a seaman.

Tony Zale KOs Bobby Giles In Four Rounds KANSAS CITY, Jan. 8 (P) Tony Zale was successfully past his first tuneup fight today in his conditioning campaign lead ing to the defense of his NBA world's middleweight boxing title. The sturdy 162 M -pound ex sailor from Gary, Ind., in his first fight since February, 1942, ended a scheduled 10-round overweight bout here last night with lean Bobby Giles, 162 Mi. Buffalo, N. Y., Negro, in 1:33 minutes of the fourth stanza. Some 4000 fans saw the fight. Zale absorbed several sharp rights from Giles before he turned on the power. His tim ing appeared none too good, but he had the kick to rack up knockout No 31 in his profes sional career dating back to 1934. A hard right and close-in left to the head put Giles away after he already had hit the canvas twice once without a count and again for nine short ly after the fourth opening bell. Leathernecks Scalp Bakers At Chiloquin The Leathernecks from the Marine Barracks scalped Chilo quin s An Bakery quintet in a game at Chiloquin last night, 71 50, although top scoring honors went to one of the Bakers. Huff, playing guard for Chilo quin, hit 21 points. Hatfield of the Bakers and Doc Zautcke of the Marines each had 18 tallies. Chiloquin opened the scoring with a free toss granted by the first of 28 Marine fouls, but zautcke counted a long shot and the Marines were off to the races. The Marines led 32-21 at the half. The under-the-basket play of Marine center J-iambert was a highlight of the game. The win was the seventh in 10 games for uie leathernecks. Stromberg - Carlson B a d i o s. Derby's Music Co. employe closed the gate, and last Saturday the elk were shunted into trucks "a nasty, sweaty, loud-cussing job." A barue had been borrowed from a timber company. and the elk trucks were ferried across along a cable, the trips being de layed several times by snagging uy aeaaneaas. . "We took the elk to the wild headwaters of the south fork of the Nooksack river in Whatcom county, beyond the Lymiin Tin ber company camp. When we koi mem mere n was nark, and they refused to budge out of the trucks. So we scattered some forage around and left. We re turned next morning and found they'd gone with the dawn. "They should prosper in that area and should provide good hunting a few seasons hence." The other three? "We're going back and get 'cm." THE FATTED CALF GALESBURG, Kas., Jan. 8 W) The fatted . calf actually was killed for PFC. George Penning ton's homecoming from the Pa cific wars. His father. Arch Pennington, had invited all service men and ex-service men to a barbecue, featuring a plump calf and a 250 pound hog, to greet George back on the farm but bad roads held attendance to 200. "We can do it all over again next year," said the father, who announced George had re-enlisted for a one year hitch.

Nelson Cops LA Tourney IlOS ANGELES, Jan. 8 (A) Mr. Big of Golf Byron Nelson, that Is is off a-wliiMlng on the 1946 tournament trail. Lord Byron, as automatic as ever, won the 20th annual Los Angeles Open yesterday with 2R4 for the 72-holc tour of the Riviera .course. And as the golfing fraternity picked up sticks and loft for the San Fran cisco Open, which sturts tomor row, the burning question was: Who's gonna stop him? His 71-69-72-7i added up five strokes better than Benny Hogan's 289, and nobody threat ened Nelson after Sam Sncad, defending champion, and Jim Ferrier, Chicago, faded after trailing by bnly two strokes at the end of 54 holes. Nelson's first p r I z e wos $2666.67 In Victory bonds, Hogan took $18(36.67 for second place. iNctson, me roieno, u., um brella salesman, posted the same score, 284, as ho did last year when Sncad beat him by one stroke. Snead took a 78 on the final 18 yesterday and finished with 292 tied for 10th. Nelson now has won 20 of his last 25 major tournaments. A CAT FISH DENVER, Jan. 8 (IP) They had to fish McGce, the cat, out of an apartment house chimney today. Prowling on the roof, he fell into the chimney and stuck 15 feet down. It took the fire department, William B. Qwhccler of the state humane bureau and T. E. Bel cher, whose son and daughter own McGce, hours to fish him out with a 16-foot pole with a hook attached.
