MAIN EVENTER

In the first round of the main
eventer, Byington started from the
sound of the dishpan gong to dish
out the football tactics he was
supposed to dish out, but after MISS
ing a flying buck that nearly put
him in the aisles, he quit and threw
a head scissors on Webb.
Webb worked loose and threw
a grapevine-then Doctor" Webb

ungentlemanly fashion so the ref
cree pulled Docs to get even.

pull the genial country doctors arm
off in an arm bar hold for a few
minutes.
Doc" finally got up and hit Bad
Bill an elbow smash that hurt and
Jumped on Bill with toe hold,
which when Bad Bill got loose,
gave him cause to hit Doc" again
in flying buck-and the country
doctor felt need to avenge his
honor-so wrapped Mr.. Byington
up as only a doctor can do (chiro-
practor) with something that look
ed like body scissors and reverse
wrist lock, which the kind old doc
tor topped off with good healthy
bite on Mr.. Byington's nasal APP
pendage.
That must have nearly finished
Byington, for the Doctor next
bounced upon him and threw his
famous (maybe it will be- double an
kle lock for the first fall-11 min
utes, 7 seconds.
Second Round
The next round, as in most wrest-
ling bouts, went to Big Bad Bill
when he concentrated on throwing
crucifixes, which he led up to with
grapevine, toe hold, another toe
hold, (then fight with the referee)
followed by cradle hold, just be-
fore the fatal crucifix.
Fans. had to look twice during
this round and the third round to
see if the bill had been printed
correctly-there seemed to be con-

NEW YORK, June IS QN.SJ
The German writer, Baron Rolf
Won Reitzenstein, made a desper
ate last-minute effort today to
escape deportation to his native
land where he faces death for
writing disparaging articles about
Chancellor Hitler.
Baron Won Reitzenstein was
scheduled to be deported to-

julius Rockefeller, obtained a writ
of habeas corpus requiring immi-
grafton authorities to produce him
in Federal Court at that time.
The baron hopes to be allowed
to remain here until the Dies

"Do, you think that publicaticn.>>

Mr.. .Gerri son, who for years has been

has turned his face to the future, in

While several chain store corpora

their fabulous offers hold no. charm for

Most Notable Upset in

Y you hear a lot about long shots
" coming down in front in big
golf tournaments. but it only
L happens about once year,
according to rotund Robert E. Harlow,
deposed tournament manager Of the
P G.. A., who knows as much about
golf as Hagen himself.
There's only been one so far this
year. There was only one in 1895
and also in 1885, II you class Tony
Manero's win of the national open
at Baltusrol as long-shot victory
and you can't do anything else in
view of the fact that Jack Doyle
and the other Broadway wise boys
stuck Tony in their pre-tournament
ratings as a 100-to-1 shot.
Sam Parks, who grabbed the ma
tional open Of 1885 from flock Of

shot of 'em all. Sam was quoted at

with no takers.

~ one long shot to shove his nose in

Snead, the youthful White Sulphur

Sam. who learned the game under

Oakland open and $1,000, but that

Championship Span Tells.
SRUT Sam" writes Harlow, "h the
first, and very likely the last
outsider who will win from fast COM
pany in an important tournament
during 1887. You hear lot about
upsets and golf form being evanescent
and elusive. but over a 72-hole stretch
In tournament golf class will tell. Form
and skill in golf may not figure so
heavily over 18 holes, but over the
championship test it shows up"
Frankly. there are about 20 guys
playing tournament golf who can be
figured to be up there when all the
returns are in in any tournament. An
outsider may beat 'em once in a
while, but it's such a rarity that you
could get lengthy odds against it In
any links jamboree.
Pro golf runs truer to form than
the amateur side of the game. And
why shouldn't 1t? They don't do
much else but play the game for the
dough that's in it.
