TRICK
HOLD TRES
LOCALFANS
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

Dy OEON0G As 0A3NAA OON
Jimmy Londos. generally recog-
nized as world heavyweight
wrestling champion. today knows
he is more unpopular than ever
with WaShington'S rabid mat
fans.
Today he finds the breach
widened as a result of the use
of his new hold in order to pin
Rudy Dusek before some $4,000
intensely excited onlookers at the
Clark Griffith Stadium last night.
One-third of the gathering were
women and girls who gave voice
to their sentiments.
Japanese Neck Lock"
Londos started a riot by the
use of what he terms a "Japa-
nese side neck-lock," but which
local fans claim was a Strangle-
hold, pure and simple. Londos
used this hold for the first time
to beat Ray Steele in New York
last month.
The fans became aroused
when LOndos, using his new
hold for the third time, had
Dusek in a bad way near the
ropes. The spectators shouted
to Referee Ben Paul, Of Phila-
deIphia, to break LOndOs' grip
as Dusek was gaSping.
Instead, Referee Paul raised
LondoS hand in token of victory
after some so minutes or more
of tense wrestling. In the
meanwhile, Dusek lay motionless
and it was fully 10 minutes be-
fore he regained his feet.
Fans In OutburSt
This was the signal for a wild
outburst on the part Of the an
gered fans. They made for the
ring while few of the more bold
climbed through the ropes and
started after Londos, Ed White
his manager and Referee Paul.
Wild scenes followed. Chairs
we're overturned, papers, cigarette
and cigar butts, ETC., were hurled
into the ring. The police tried
to preserve order and safeguard
Londos from harm.
In the melee one cop mis-
took White for a fan and
raped him ON the shoulder
with his night-Stick. Another
COD menaced LOndOS. White
also went down from few
punches.
Finally the cops surrounded
Londos and escorted him to his
dressing quarters. A few of the
fans took potShot punches at the
champion but he was only struck
few glancing blows. Londos
sensibly refrained from fighting
back. He had no chance in that
frenzied mob which sought to lay
hands on his throat. He had
mistreated their boy, Rudy, so
they thought.
Leaves After Midnight
Londos remained in his dress
ing quarters fully 40 minutes
and it was shortly after midnight
before he was safely bundled out
of the stadium.
A crowd of 1900 fans milled
about the entrance and hung
over the runwayS leading to
the grandStandS and it was
necessary to summon the police
reserves to send them home to
bed.
The match had been even up
until LondoS' act. A few minutes
before, however, Dusek had ap-
piled his rocking chair" split. but
the Greek Squirmed loose by
crawling for the ropes.
The best of the preliminarieS
was provided by Sander Szabo and
bald-headed Joe c'Toots'O Mondt,
with the former winning in 21I
minutes with a flying tackle and
body slam. The crowd cheered
Szabo'S victory. Milo Steinborn
and Wladek Zbyszko went 80 min
uteS to a draw; Mike Romano pol
iShed off "Tigah" Nelson in Isl
minutes and Earl McCready put
away Frank Brunowicz with a.
body slam in Is minutes.

SERIES
WITH TIGERS

batting order Of his Griffmen re-
Gently, seem to have worked out
very well during the last two
days.
A glance at. the last pair Of
games will bring this out. The
teams attack has been much
more concentrated, two games
have been won, and West and
Kuhel in particular have re-
sponded with great luster.
Collect FL Hits
The Chicago White Sox were
defeated yesterday. IL to Z, in .
game which saw the new lineup
and batting order function to per-
fection.
Twenty-One hits were accumu-
lated by the Griffmen with
West and KuheI leading with
four each. Manush Chimed in
with three, Harry Rice, Bluege
and Hayes collected two apiece
while CrOnin, Spencer. Bolton
and CrOwder found the time
and place to connect at least
once.
Hitting at the present gait, Man
ager JohnSon'S men should soon
lift themselves out of the slump
which still hovers around them.
It's a safe contention that a
stronger showing will be made if
the new order of things continues
to crash through.
Jones HurlS Today
1t will be interesting TO watch
Just what is accomplished against
the Detroit Tigers who appear
here today for the first of four
game series. Naturally. Manager
johnson is hopeful that his men
will wade right through the Tiger
moundSmen, so that he'll not
have to make any more changes
for while.
1t will be up to Sad Sam
Jones to keep the Griffs in the
winning column today. He has
been selected to hurl by Man
ager Johnson in the idea that
he has had enough time to get
into condition since his recent
lay-Off. Herring is likely to be
the Detroit hurIer.
An early lead stood the Grit1-
men in good stead against the
White Sox yesterday. The 10 runs
manufactured in the first three
innings proved enough to win the
cid ball game, and it was well as
Crowder was far from a tight-wad
with his hits towards the end
after he gained his big lead.
Snatch Game Early
In winning, JohnSon's men put
over something they have not
been able to do in some time.
They snagged the game into the
bag early and were able to work
under a big lead for the first
time in weeks.
1t would take columns to re-
late the details of all those
Griff runs. Briefly, four were
collected in the opening inning.

attacks on combinations of wealth,

Tommy Loughran after being
whipped twice by Ernie sScaaf, gave
the Boston boy a neat lacing in
New York, when he won their third
meeting decisivefy. The Philadel-
phia dancing master gave Jack
Sharkey's protege lesson in box
ing, using his left to great advant-
age and completely dominated the
ten round bout.
Boxing experts consider the case
of Primo Camera a painful prob
lem. They look at the Italian mani
mountain as coming champion
for a few weeks and then decide
that maybe after all, they are
wrong. Take for example the re-
cent heavyweight fight, where he
had an advantage of 73 pounds in
weight over jimmy Maloney and
Signaily failed to do anything much
with it, If the Italian had brushed
the Boston boy aside with speed
he would have climbed up, into the
company Of other championship
contenders but all he did was to
finish a fight,
At times the writer of this COL
unln has been inclined to rate the
ponderouS Camera as some fighter,
with perhaps a rating of two-three
in the field of contestants, but, hon
estly, what he has is size and will
ingness, and he shows little i'm
provement. Of course, he has the
broken rib alibi, but that isn't
enough to explain what he hasn't
done in these United States.
However, Primo will hang around
until he bumps somebody in1por-
tant out of the picture or that same
somebody important beats him up
irr satisfactory fashion This, how
ever, hasn't been done yet. Frankly,
Stribling's two fights with him in
Europe added to the idea that he
was q threat, but w. L. witnessed
the Miami fracus and saw nothing
to be worried about.

When the news was received that Ketchikan was to have a $400,000 federal building, it was not clear as to whether the money had been ap- propriated for the building, or the expenditure authorized. The Chron- icle immediately sent telegram to the Associated Press asking for a full explanation, and the answer in- dicates that the s400,000 has all ready been appropriated.
 Secretary Mellon and Postmaster Brown sent a statement to Congress showing the specific allotments of the total funds for public buildings This statement showed that Ketchi- kan was allotted S40O,O00 for a new federal building. Sometime ago an appropriation of $1O,000 was made for the filling in of a site for the new building.
