Six mately nel wrestlers averaging approxi- 170 pounds apiece put on a acking 20-minute perform- ance f{ar the wrestling fraternity (and sorority) of Juneau last night and left some 300 people har on the back of their chairs when the final whistle blew, leaving Gene Eustace, of Juneau. the vinnah.” hostilities with a whole- some disrespect for each other, it was dog cat dog and the referee take what's left Action got so fast and furious that the crowd feared nothing short of murder as the outcome Iy limping from the general mix-up, Walt Gaston, first climbed through the ropes. Next out was Gordon Nu- ma who was on the receiving end of a solar plexus punch. He laid on the canvas for five minutes while the fight waged over and around him Somebody eventually dagged him out. Spendlove took which left Davis, Eustace, and Doc Webb in the ring. Poor old Doc didn’t have a chance as Davis and Eustace doubled up on him. They a powder next managed to tie him up in a two-man | leg split and arm lock, pinning his sheulders for the count.

The crowd gave the boys a good hand as they left the ring Wind-Up Wind-up match of eight eight- minute rounds, best two cut of three between Red Davis and Gene E tace, resulted in the Juneau boy tak- ing the measure cf the Redhead by the {w all te. Eustace lost the first fall in thc | second round after he had come out of his corner with mouth full of water and let it in Red’s face. This riled the T and he settled dewn to pin C houlders in about one minute Second fall came in the fourth rcund after Davis had likew made his opponent peeved by pulling a age which promoter Moody had previcusly teped over a burn on istace’s knee. Eustace dove in and me up with a treacherous arm lock which was the works as far as Red was concerned. Last fall came in the fifth round with Davis taking a good beating after Fustace rolled him across the ring with a series of flying mares and body rolls. Gene wound up the night’s blowout by applying a neat nod priss on Weights of the grapplers as an- ton should havé met in the opener |nounced from the ring by promo- but Gordon was taking time off try- | ing to regain the wind lost in the battle royal. First of this five-minute round one-fall match saw the Montana flash work the Auk Bay pride over in the best accepted fash- ion. Somewhere in the action Webb crawled through the ropes and got back to put his knee into Spend- love's stomach, Spendlove retaliated | by stomping the Doc's bare foot and | kicking him through the ropes and | winding it up with a hefty boot to! the chin. Second round had barely started | before Spendlove came off the ropes | ala Gus Sonnenberg and again the Doc was on the outside looking in. He stayed in the safety of no man’s land and for 14 of his allotted 20- second count Starting with a rush in the third | round Billy flushed the Doc before he got off his corner chair after the | opening bell. Webb was able to keep out, of danger except for one inter- lude when Spendlove hung his foot across the top rope and commenced to-pull the big and little toes in op- posite directions. As the round closed Doc, thinking the fight was over, clipped Bill Byington, the referee, and headed for the shower room. He was called back to finish the veteran | iou\cr and for his part the Doc last two rounds of the match. Webb came out in the fourth with ter U. D.

LOOP SHOWS TALENT Keller, Mya, Bareft Se- lected as “'Most Like- ly to Succeed” By DILLON GRAHAM AP Feature Service Sports Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—If the ma- jor leagues lasso as many star rookies from the International loop this spring as they did a year ago, they'll be more than satisfied That fast AA circuit contributed Johnny Vander Meer, baseball’s first double no-hit pitcher; Frank Mc- Cormick, the Cincinnati first-sacker who got more hits than any other National leaguer, and Joe Gordon, the New York Yankees' second-base flash. That’s just to mention a few A year ago Gordon was the most- publicized recruit as the clubs moved to training camps. This spring Ne ar ain offers perhaps the best- known rookie in Charles Keller, This 22-year-old outfielder h: led the loop in hitting for the I two years and thinks it is about time he was getting into the New York Yankee ture. Warren Rosar of Newark, who'll give New York's Bill Dickey some catching assistance, hit 387 to Kel- 365, but didn’t play in so many games as Charley.

George Myatt came up after mid-season last year and played a sweet third base. He led the Giants in stolen bases and hit .305. Bill Terry looks for him to top the National league in pilfered sacks. Pitcher Hal Vandenberg, up for a while in '38, may be ready to stay for sure, and Catcher Tom Padden may round out the mitt staff. The Giants also roped Pitcher John Wittig of Baltimore, who looked good in his few games last season The Chicago Cubs think they have a real comer in Outfielder Jim Glee- son from Newark.

It is quite a struggle, the report says, to keep the natives going to school and to keep them from get- ting drunk, but movies are “exer- cising much good influence.” The Japanese have taken steps to end the lovely timelessness of the tropics. “In order to cultivate among the natives the sense of time, and to | encourage them to lead a well or- dered life,” says the report, “bells | have been installed at various places to announce the time thrice a day. morning, noon, and evening.” After three centuries of Span- ish, German and Japanese influ- ence, the town natives are wear- ing clothes.
