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

accurately-aimed and perfectly-

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

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.

Much of the drama of Ihe final
day s competition wss parked In
tne inriuing fifth set of tne
Budge-Von I'ramm tussle. j
taught unawares by V A
Cramm's brilliant play and dou
two sets almost before ha reallied
It, Budge came back with an un
stoppable surge to lake Ihe next
sets snd seemed beaded for
victory without further trouble.
Hut Von Cramm wna not
through yet. After holding bis
own service In the first and third
games of the filth set, the titled
German broke through Budge's
delivery In the fourth gsme to
take what al the time seemed a
crurlsl sdvantage. Hudge, how

And atlll Von Cramm refused
to surrender. He took the first
point sgalnst Budge's service us

six times before Budge won It,
the set and the series with a great
pssstng shot down the right wing.

midst of his teammates' Jubila
tion over lliirige'a mngnlflrant vic
tory, doclared he was througli
with Davis cup competition snd
wouldn't play against Great Brit
ain even If chosen.
"I turned yellow." he said bit
terly, "and almost lost the cup
for us. A guy who hasn't any
more guts than I have ought to
quit for good."
All efforta to console him were
fruitless.
Think how I feel oultllng like
that and forcing Don to fight his
heart out to win," Grant said. "I
shook like a leaf all through my
match with llenkol."

Cramm.
"All I ran say." Ihe U. 8. cap

ought to be on th same side.
It's a shame for a man who play
