KIBBEN AND MAGILL WINNERS
OF LAST NIGHTS WRESTLING

There was plenty of entertain
then at the arena last night as four
erunt and groan artists disported
themselves for the benefit of ra-
Their slim audience. The program
which was scheduled to get under
way at $50 o'clock was held up for
half an hour in order to give per-
sons attending q meeting at Wilson
school an opportunity to attend the
matches.
Employing two headlocks with
telling effect. Everett Kibben, 2l8-
pound Oklahoman, took two falls
from Tom Elliot of Los Angeles,
weighing 2l0 pounds in the main
event for the program. Kibben took
the first and last falls with Elliot
winning the second.
The big fellows meant business
from the start of the match and lost
little time in preliminaries, going at
each other with a vengeance. They
gave remarkable exhibitions o.
strength with Kibben showing up
the better of the two. Elliot'S fail
was won by means of body slam
which Jared his heavier opponent.
The first fall, won by Kibben in
II minutes; the second by Elliot in
IL minutes, the third going 20 Kib-
ben in 10 minutes. Elliot was just
about "out' as the result of this

SPARTAN5 WIN
TRACK MEET.

Central Unions tracksters scored
As points yesterday afternoon to
capture high honors in a triangular
track meet held in the local stadium.
A group Of unattached competitors
took second spot with 81 points
while Yuma high school entrants had
to be satisfied with 25 points for
third place.
The track was soft which made
the going somewhat difficult and
tor that reason no new records were
hung up during the afternoon.
Competition was keen, however, for
the different events, in several in

NEW YORK, April 7. - When
Jiro Satoh threw himself from the
liner Hakone Maru and disappear
ed beneath the waters of the Ma
lacca Straits, international tennis
lost one Of its greatest players and
followers of the game one Of the
NEST fascinating of all performers.
No one who ever saw Satoh Will
forget him. Chunky partially paid,
the color of naptha soap, and with
those half a-<1oZen- sizes-too-large
shorts Tapping about his knees, he
caught your eye. But it was his
style of play, not his appearance,
that made the deepest impression.
In Satoh, effortless tennis reached
it's peak. I saw him in several bit
ter engagements with top-rank-
ing Americans, but I can't remem-
Der ever seeing him make a hur-
ried or awkward move.
You know how most players come
to the net-face set, muscles tense,
legs churning, and racquet poised
for the kill But not Satoh. He
came to the net like a stalking cat.
He padded in with sure, soft steps
He made no wild lunges at the ball
only deft flicks with his wrist. His
expression never changed, his face
remaining just as impassive when
one point meant victory or defeat
as on the first rally of a match
He was the only player I ever saw
who could watch an opponent win
crucial point or game with a
net-cord shot with absolutely nc
show of emotion.
Inside of him, his friends said

Her wrists gashed deeply but not
dangerously, Mrs. Massie was at
the hospital of DR.. Emilio Porelli,
head of q clinic for nervous dis
eases, after an apparent suicide at
tempt Sunday night aboard the
liner Roma as it entered the Med

She was suffering from severe
nervous shock, the result OF her
tragic experiences of the last two
years climaXed by her recent di-
vorce from Lieut.. Thomas Massie
i U. S. NJ, at Reno.
The safety razor blade with which
her wrists were cut penetrated the
muscles but not the veins of her

emily.

visited her. You think that by

minutes by means of a body slam.
Coming out for the second fail.

evidently handicapped Kerschner
considerably as he soon succumbed
to Magill in five minutes. When
asked by a fan what hold had been
used to win, Magill answered that
it was the Pat special No. t." 1t

chance to pounce on him and pin
his shoulders to the floor.

there was plenty of excitement to
the affair. Kerschner, however,

head and shoulders completely out
of the ring, Tackett tapped Pat on
the shoulder giving him the match.

University of California rivals by
a small margin their meet today

The margin, experts believed,

that was strong in the sprints and
the distance runs and well forti-
fled in the jumping events. Middle

JUDGE. CITES
GRAND JURY

GROWN POINT, Ind, April 7.
U.P)-The spectacle of a grand jury
cited for contempt of court by the
very judge that impaneled and in
structed it amazed jurists and at
torneys today. A legal battle was
assured.
Judge William j. Murray was be-
lieved by some to be within his
rights in citing his own grand jury
for contempt because it criticized
him without indicting him. Others
were emphatic in their opinion that
the grand jury is beyond the juris-
diction of the court.
Judge Murray, the principal in
this latest aftermath of the daring
escape from the Crown Point jail
of John Dillinger, meanwhile stood
by his guns pending appearance of
the Jurors to answer the contempt
charges Monday. If convicted they
face penalties of as much as six
months in Jail and up to $500 fine.
Their guilt or innocence will be
determined by the judge who cited
them but they have recourse to APP
peal to the state supreme court If
convicted
The jury determined that the
Jail is adequate when well-guarded
but went on to discuss the situation
thus:
"The public may have been led
to believe that politics was respon-
sible for the escape of John Dill
linger. The grand jury from the
evidence presented, does not concur
in this belief unless the difference
of opinion in regard to the transfer
of Dillinger from the county jail
to the Michigan City penitentiary
could be interpreted as politics. y
! Indpe MURRAY did not relish this.

The Portland Beavers boasted OF
their first seasons victory today
through the batting proves Of one
player usually considered the fifth
wheel in the attack, the pitcher.
Bill Ragland, Beaver mounds
man, was considerably more than
the fifth wheel, in fact he was
close TO being the whole wagon,
in the Portland 3-2 win over the
Los Angeles Angels yesterday. Rag
land came up in the seventh with
the bases filled and cracked a
double that drove three runs across.
AS was entirely just, he also re-
ceived credit for the pitching VIC
tory. although he was one Of three
Portland pitchers to perform.
The defeat, the first for the An
gels, produced a tie for first place
as the Hollywood Stars had their
second feast Of the week on Oak
land pitching. Led by Vince Di-
maggie with three hits, the Stars
collected Is safeties to win a 1912
game. Tom Sheehan held the hap
less Oaks helpless throughout to
give his team its third victory in
four starts.
The veteran Clarence Mitchell,
baseball's only left handed spit
baller, showed his wares at Sacra-
mento TO give the Mission Reds a
81 win over the Senators. Mitch
ell had the Senators in hand until
the ninth when they filled the
bases. Dutch Lieber came in to
retire the side and even the series
at two games apiece.

POLICE GUARD
COURT HOUSE
Fear Resumption Of Yesterdays
Riots In Which Scores Were
Injured.

Onlteu PreSS stan correspondent
MINNEAPOLIS, April 7. 49, Riot
squads of Minneapolis police pa
trolled the huge, fort like court
house today, fearing a resumption
of rioting which sent a score of
persons to hospitals and resulted in
80 arrests
Many of the blue coated men
still bore scars from their double
clash with approximately 5000 I'M
employed men and women who an
Swered the arrest of their leaders
with a barrage of coal and the po-
lice department S own tear gas
bombs. Meanwhile, a political storm
brewed as aldermen and judges
charged police and firemen with
negligence in their handling of the
riot.
The police guards about the build
ing were established by Chief OF
Police Michael Johannes after he
received reports that the building,
which houses city and county off
ices as we'll as courtrooms and po-
lice and fire headquarters, was to
be bombed. No shots were fired in
the fighting.
Johannes, himself, was under fire
for failing to ask for militia after a
preliminary riot which was follow
ed by more serious fighting. Fire
Chief Earl Traeger likewise was
criticized for failing to turn streams
of water on the rioters. Offices
within the massive courthouse still
held the reek of tear gas.
Yesterdays appearance of dem
onstrators at the court house was
the second this week and was be-
lived to have been led by the same
men. Although most of the parti-
cipantS of the mob were said to
have been former CWA workers,
many red arm bands were seen and
Communistic placards were carried
in a parade which preceded the
fighting.
Delegation Refused
The riot started when members
of the city council refused to meet
a delegation of marcherS who
wished to present demands for a
resumption of Civil Works Admin
istration projects or similar en-
ployment, increased relief allow
anceS and cessation of forced work
programs.
The announcement that the dele
CATION would not be heard touched
off a storm of bricks, bottles, scrap
iron and coal. Police threw tear
gas from the court house, but the
rioters only hurled the gas proJec-
tiles back into the building. The
demonstration subsidized when the
council agreed to hear delegation
of professors.
1t was renewed however when
it was learned that the delegation
had been arrested. The fighting
spread over an area six blocks
square with police welding their
night sticks with devastating eff
feet. Two policemen received SER
ious head injuries and dozen 9TH
ers were hurt. One woman who
was attempting to leave the build
ing suffered a broken ankle when
she was knocked down.
