with which big name players
p!oughed through sectional elimina-
tions on "a fronts yesterday.
An exceptionally small number OF
stellar performers were weeded out
as 88 professionals and 20 amateurs
won places in the open.
No former open titleholder fell,
although two ex-amateur kings were
eliminated-Max Marston at Phila-
delphia, and S. Davidson Heron at
Pittsburgh.
Other prominent club sWingers
who lost out were Roland Hancock
of Stoneham. Mass, title runner-up
in 1923, who failed at Boston;
Scotty Campbell at Seattle, twice
Canadian amateur winner; Johnny
Fischer at Cincinnati, Walker cup
player; and Bill Mehlhorn, Mike
Turnesa, Mike Brady and Joe Ear

pion, at Boston; Harry Candy at
Tulsa and Chuck Kocsis at Detroit
However, the former open champs,

CARDS AGAIN
TRIP GIANT
BY LAWTON CARVER
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May IA W.R)- The
world champion Cardinals, who wal
loped Bill Terry's Giants 13 times
and dethroned them last year, are
at it again.
In their first whack at the New
Workers this season, frankie Frisch
and his champs downed them, 80,
in 10 innings. 1t required miracle
to register this victory; but were
not these Cards hailed as miracle
men" after their Malcolm Camp
bell finish last year?
Yesterdays miracle was provided
by "Lippy' Leo Durocher, a 200
hitter who is known as the the
American Out" Mr.. Durocher, with
three futile trips to the plate be-
hind him, again faced the screwball
king, Carl Hubbell. 1t was the 10th
inning, and the count was knotted
2-2. "Lippy' Leo closed his eyes
and swung. Wham! The ball sailed
into the left field stands, and the
Cards amazed shortstop trotted
around the bases for a home run.
This tally won the game.
Despite the league-leading Giants
defeat, second place Brooklyn made
no advance because the Dodgers
were shaded, 80 by the Cubs.
Pittsburgh massacred the Phillies,
1O-1, as young Cy Blanton limited
The Ouakers to four hits. Cincin-
natl upset the Braves, 81, as 81
Johnson downed Ben Cantwell in a
pitching duel.
Boston's Red SoX replaced the
Yankees at third position in the
American League standing by a 81
victory over the Browns, while the
YankS were blanked by Detroit, 30.
This defeat sent the Browns into
last place tie with the Athletics.
The YankS dropped into a fourth
place tie with the idle Senator's.
Washington at Cleveland was
washed out, and wet grounds post
poncd Philadelphia at Chicago.

GRUDGE BOUT
NEXT FRIDAY

AS a preliminary to the all-star
wrestling card to be presented Fri
day night at the City Limits arena,
John Contos, the promoter, has
signed the unpopular Ted Christy,
native son of California; to meet
Capt. Frank van Mohr, of the Los
Angeles police. Captain van Mohr
claims the distinction of having
arrested Christy for a traffic vio-
lation in Los Angeles and in being
instrumental in having him fined
therefor. Since that occasion there
has been bad blood between these
two endangered more particularly
when van Mohr decided to add
professional graphing to his po-
lice department activities.
Since becoming professional
wrestler the captain has repeatedly
avoided being booked against
Christy, knowing especially Chris
tvs pugnacious attitude and re-
sentiment. Contos, however, upon
hearing of the existing animosity
between these two men, saw an
opportunity to arrange what pro-
misses to be slam bang affair and
Immediately offered them a con-
tract to appear in the local arena
under his auspices. Christy very
eagerly accepted, but the captain
had to be promised everything but
the ring-posts to take the bout.
However, Contos figures it Is a
good investment, particularly as
Christy offered to forego his end
of the purse in order to be afforded
an opportunity to face his arch
enemy in the ring. Hence local
fans will be treated to what ap-
pears to be a real grudge match
and will be fought out tooth and
nail this Friday night.
This thirty minute preliminary
will be the curtain raiser to the
double main event, each of which
are scheduled over the one and a
half hour route. Sander Szabo, the
popular Hungarian will trade holds
with the well-known wrestling ace,
Nick Lutte, and Jagat Singh, the
likeable Hindu, will meet Harry
Johnson, American born Swede
from Minnesota. Both of these
main events are sufficient in them
selves to head first class wrest-
( ling card, but are jointly offered
by Promoter Contos as evidence OF
his intention to bring only the best
to Imperial Valley.
The special event, which is to
be announced later, will throw in
the ring and at the same time, two
of the men who have appeared
here since the revival of wrestling
and who are both favoriteS of the
fans. 1t will be bout of special in
terest and a departure from the
accepted form of American catch
as-catch-can wrestling or jiu jitsu
wrestling, but a combination of the
two and will feature the chief ex-
ponents of each style who will vie
for supremacy according to their
own individual methods.
