THE NEWS AND THE HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON July 2T, 10.17 Frankie Clemens Tumbles Big, Black Dragon PAGE TWO PflRALYZER BRINGSWIN Stojack Beaten by Jack LaRue; Kohen Loses on Foul Ruling A thousand cheering;, shouting wrestling fane never thought they'd live to see It happen. But they did see it happen actually. Indisputably happen nd they ro In on great mist and let loose a roar that shook the walls of the bit armory auditorium. What they aaw, believe It or not, was Ktankie Clemens, young, lithe and fast but no match for the Black Dragon in strength, pin the detested horror nan. pin him first with punches and a flying head scissors and then pin him again with the deadly "Indian para lyzer," pin him so thoroughly that there was not an ounce of fight left In that missive, dynamic, das tardly frame. 0 Promised to Win Frankie had said he would beat the Dragon. The fans were unani mous in hoping he would, but not on really expected he could. Had they realised the outcome in store. probably two thousand customers would bar Jam-packed the build ing to witness the procedure. But It's traditional that the patrons don't turn out In record numbers when It appears that a favorite Is in for a beating, and so only about thousand an exultant thousand were in on last night's heart warming kill. Today Clemens can have Just bout anything he wants of Klam ath's sport followers. He's defi nitely a local hero and, for the Urn being at least, seems pretty sure of retaining that position as long as he cares to hang around. Tongh at First But the Indian boy had many a bitter pill to swallow, as adminis tered by Doctor Dragon, before he achieved his laurels. The match started out in the way the crowd was afraid It would. The Machiavellian mangier went through his atrocity routine from A to Z, with the result that Clem ens was reduced to pretty sorry shape. Then the terrorist clamped on a Boston crabhold, and Clem ens went under for the first fall in exactly nine minutes. Seconds worked feverishly over the Cherokee grappler during the three minutes respite In an effort to restore him to some semblance of wrestling form, but the at tempt appeared useless. The. Dragon returned to the wars with, even more villainous technique, If that was possible, than he had exhibited in the open ing session, pounded Clemens on his still sore back, gouged, stran gled and finally hung the Indian by the neck in the ropes. Tide Torn That's when the tide of battle turned. Escaping with the help of sympathetic rlngsiders, Clemens launched a flurry of fists to the midriff that drove the Dragon to the shelter of the ropes. Then while his opponent stood on the ring lip. Clemens whipped blm back over the top with a flying headlock, chased him across the arena to the opposite edge and then again flipped him over, this time with flying beao scissors. The Dragon lay motionless, and Clemens had a fall in a brief a: so. Still the tans Just couldn't be convinced that it wss anything more than a flash In the pan, an apparently lucky shot. Frankie, however, had his big gest surprise yet in store. He went right after the Dragon and clamped on a headlock which, he saw to it, was no more gentle than the law requires. He continued this operation until his burly rival again clambered for the ropes. Clemens Clips Referee But Clemens would not even let the Drsgon find peace on the offi cial refuge grounds, nor would he brook Referee Dale Haddock's efforts to "break it up." He clipped the arbiter once in the manner of villains, then resumed his faeadwork, eventually shitting Into an arm stretch and eventually into the "paralyser." The Dragon weathered one siege of the Incapacitating neck maneu ver, but it left him noticeably groggy. Though he managed to escape momentarily, Clemens soon had him back In the same vice-like grip, and this time the Drsgon faded painfully away into the never-ntver land. It was all over in six minute and 10 seconds after the start of the final session. LaKue's Hlrength Amazes In the middle event Frank Sto jack and Jack LaRue put on an exhibition which the crowd , thought was going to provide the high spot of the evening until the surprise developments In the fea ture bout. Laltue, whose actual toughness continues to amate the fans in view of his slight build, won after four rounds of fsst going when Stolack was rendered bora de combat In losing the second fall. Both men put out Just about verythlng they had In them dur ing the course et the battle, when La Rue managing to preserve tho necessary final atom of energy by skedaddling adeptly for the ropes whenever the storm signals were up. gtojark Takes First LaRue didn't reach his pesk until the bout entered Its later In nings. The end of the first found found htm tightly gripped In a hort arm scissors, from which the hell brought liberation. In 7:26 of the second Rtojack un leashed, two of his mld-alr flying Paralyzer Frsnk Clemens, sole successful exponent of the "Indian para lyser." headlocks followed by one of his accurately-aimed and perfectly- ecuted dropklcks that left LaRue badly dated for the nonce. In the third stanza LaRue tried arm-breakers on the ropes. Thev looked pretty amateurish to the fans who bad seen Alvin Britt in action but were good enough to weaken btojack s arm for an ex cruciating hammerlock. Just be fore the 10 minutes ended, Sto jack kicked out, and the round closed without further tumbler. Misses Dropldrk The ex-Washington State grid- der moved in on LaRue in the fourth frame, apparently hoping to put a qquick end to the bout, after the Kansan had tossed him s time or two to the floor outside the ring. Twice Stojack dropkicked the Kansan while the latter was seek ing sanctuary In the narrow arei between the ropes and the edge of the ring. The third time, how ever, LaRue ducked and Stojack fell backward Into the center of the ring, apparently injuring him self. LaRue was through the ropes In flash. He picked up Stojack. stretched him across one knee with stomach up and then pressed down vigorously on Stojack'? knees and head. It was a back breaker deluxe, new to Klamath fans and obviously painful. Stojack gave up In short order. Nor wss he In any condition to return for any more. Kodrigwes, w Ins on Foul Carlos Rodriguez, newcomer from Mexico City, defeated Sammy Kohen on a foul In the opening bout, and on the basis of his first performance here, it apeared that was about tho only way he could hope to win. The Mexican seemed listless whether because he had missed his afternoon siesta or because be was dismayed by the stream of blood which Kohen's "ripping" activities drew from his nose, the fans were unable to determine. At any rate, he failed to show much except a stepover toehold which was good for the second fall early In the fourth round. Earlier Kohen had captured the first tum ble with a leg-breaker. The New York Jew spent most of the 30 minutes or so the bout lasted In indulging In impolite ac tivities like slugging when coming out of clinches, but it wasn't un til he saw fit to attack Haddock with punches and kicks that the arbiter was moved to call a foul. That was In 2:15 of the fifth round. Although John L. Lewis and Tom Girdler were flying west at the same time, they took differ ent ships. Seemed they Just weren't on the same plane.

The Billiards got off to a one run advantage In the first Inning, but the Pollns pulled ahead with a two-run splurge In the third. The Billiards tied It up as soon as they could get to bat and then drove to the fore again when liar butt cracked out a homer In the fourth.
