Headed by Bernardo Pasquel,

across the border made their
first big strike yesterday when

year. Gardella has been in the
bad graces of the Giants since ne
spurned a $5000 contract and
Manager Mel Ott had Danny
ticketed for the minors.
Pasquel said last week that his
lenirue also had sinned two other

Fighter Dies After
Knockout Punch
CHICAGO, Feb. 19 (AP)
Willi Lee Perry, 21, negro
light heavyweight, died last
night after being knocked out
in the second round of the
scheduled five round wlndup
bout of an amateur fight card.
Alex Baim, president of the
Madison Athletic club, spon
sor of the show, said Perry fell
after a hard right landed un
der his heart by Howard
Schwan, 23, a sailor stationed
at Navy pier.
Rassle Royal
On Mat Dock
For Thursday
Next Thursday's rassling card,
.promoter mock iiuara nas an
nounced, will begin with a six-
man battle royal putting such
matmen as Bob Keneston, Gust
Johnson. Red (Curly) Dawson,
Pete Belcastro, Pierre LaBelle
and El Mestizo in the ring to
gether.
The first five mentioned are
fairly well-known here, although
be-whlskered Dawson has visited
Klamath Falls only once and
Pierre LaBelle has appeared
here twice.
The sixth is a newcomer from
down south. Basic Spanish re
veals that the Mexican word
"mestizo" means something like
"a person of two races" ana "el"
of course is the equivalent of
"the." Therefore. Duttine it
crudely. El Mestizo means The
Half-breed.
So it would appear that the
grappler appearing under that
name Thursday night comes
from mixed parentage and is
proud of the fact.
The first two musclers elimi
nated from the gang fight come
back for three rounds in the curtain-raiser;
the next two fight the
semi-final of three frames and
the remaining duo get together
in the three-canto main event.
Final Dairine will work itself
out, but a natural grouping,
based on known ruggedness,
would place Bob Keneston as one
of the finalists against either
Dawson or Belcastro, with the
odd man fighting Gust Johnson
in the semi.
