La Flhaf Oagjtau, wf Jsrsmiar 01 Mas flMvM raa Kp lamina omimt fill i A Eric "The Chest" Holmback need ed only half of his hour time limit to dispose of the admittedly tough and nasty "Killer Karl" Davis of Texas in last night's main event wrestling bout at the local Naval Armory. Furthermore, "The Chert" was never in better form as he pinned his bad tempered opponent in straight falls of 19 and nine minutes duration, respectively. The powerfully built and huge chested behemoth from Anchorage, Alaska, didn't have things all his own way by any means, but he did manage to find the openings for his two pinning opportunities. Before he did so, however, he took quite a beating from Davis who tried every form of slugging, choking and kneeing in an attempt to offset his burly foe's strength advantage.

Davis A "Bad Boy Even before the match got under way, Davis hit Holmback across the face with his towel, and throughout the engagement he tried one nasty trick after another. But when Holmback applied his holds he was showman enough to give out with realistic cries of pain. After 19 minutes of this sort of thing 'The Chest" won the first fall on his well known Greco-Roman bridge with a full Nelson. The second fall took Holmback only nine minutes to win when he administered a series of body slams and pinned his groggy foe with a body press. Other Bouts End In Draws The other two bout, ended In time limit draws.

In the opener Jack "Halibut Face" Hobbs of Warsaw, held the well liked Alex Polasky of Pittsburgh to an unpopular draw In 30 minutes. Hobbs repeatedly kicked Polasky in the belly and slugged and choked to get the crowd against him, once even taking after the referee. When Polasky retaliated he would get out of the ring. Johnny Gondek of Michigan City also drew Earl Malone, villain type grappler from Salt Lake City. Gon-deck took the first fall by making Malone say "uncle" in 12 minutes by a quickly applied leg lock after his foe had slugged him around freely.

Malone came back to win the second fall In 12 minutes' by use of a back breaking surfboard hold. Time was too short to allow a third and decisive fall. It was announced at the ringside that "Jumping Joe" Savoldi had wired from Minneapolis his willingness to meet Don "The Savage" Eagle on next Thursday's show. This is a match all local mat goers have been anticipating. Big 10 Ball Teams Face Busy Week-End CHICAGO, May 10-(AP) -Wisconsin's baseball team, leading the Big Ten race (5-0), will meet Min nesota (3-1) at Minneapolis this week-end in the feature attraction of a 10-game Friday-Saturday series involving all conference teams.

Tiger Neffers To Meet Dutch Seek 3rd Victory In Loop Test Saturday Seeking a third win in their fifth start of the season, Benton Harbor high school's tennis squad will travel to Holland tomorrow to meet the Flying Dutchmen in a morning match slated to start at 9:30.

Beaten, 5-4, by the Dutch here April Coach John Bridgham's charges will be out to erase the sting of that defeat. If they can do it, they'll have the added satisfaction of knowing that Saturday's match counts on the Southwestern conference records. The earlier meeting here was a practice affair. Bridgham feels his squad should able to top the Dutchmen, but hinted at a possible shake-up in No. 3 doubles team.

The four Tiger singles players Jack Fores- tieri, Lyman Danneffel, Rpger'Kull-enberg and Chuck Ray, have looked good in drills this week, the coach said, but the work of his doubles teams leaves much to be desired. Close One Only an upset loss by Ray To Hol land's Phil Lueth cost the Bengals victory last time. Forestieri beat Maurice Scherers; Danneffel lost to Ken Eltonbecx; Kullenberg beat Ronald Colton and Norm Bender and Bruce Howard bowed to Jack Oonk and VanDerMuelen; Clint Fiedler and Tom Ryan lost to Humbert and Post and Joe Dudas and Hillard Friedman were defeated by VanderVelde and Nuisma in the last meeting of the two schools. Conceeding to Hollanders strength the doubles Bridgham hopes to sweep all four singles matches this time to win, provided at least one the doubles combinations come through.

Overhaul in Picked To Tigers, Giants Win, Braves Beat Cubs, Browns Top Yanks BY JOE REICHLER (Associated Press Sports Writer) I Off past records, the Boston Red Sox stand a seven-to-three chance jOf winning the American league pennant. In defeating the Chicago White Sox, 7-5, yesterday to stretch their winning streak to 14 straight games, lhe Red Hose joined 10 other Junior circuit clubs which have won 14 or more consecutive games tsince the 3oop was organized in 1901. Seven of Jhese went on to capture the flag.

The seven were the 1906 Chicago White Sox (19 straight); the 1931 Philadelphia Athletics (17); the '13 Athletics (15); the 1926 New York Yankees (16) the '41 Yankees (14) and the 1909 and "34 Detroit Tigers 4). Of the three non-pennant winners, the 1912 Washington Senators, with 17 straight, finished second as did the 1906 Yankees with 15. The 1916 St Louis Browns copped 14 in a row but wound up a dismal fifth. i The Red Sox need only a victory over the Yankees In their series Opener at New York today to record the longest winning streak in the American league since the A's swept Jhrough 17 consecutive wins in 1931. Should Boston sweep the week-end three-game set, the Sox will rank eecond only to Chicago's hitless wonders of 1906.

The National league record is 26 by the New York Slants in 1916. Hitting Does It In the last three games, eight Bo-fax tossers have yielded 51 hits, an average of 17 per game and still Boston won an three. The reason Is the batting averages of Johnny Ttsky, Ted Williams, .424 and Dom DiMaggio, .386. The club as a lyhole is hitting an even .300. A Jourth-inning two-run homer by flobby Doerr the league's leader in jruns batted In proved the ultimate margin of victory yesterday.

It enabled the Red Sox to increase their league lead to four and a half fames over the second place Yank- Nelson Potter, an old Yankee Jinx who hasnt been beaten by the few Yorkers in two years, gained is fifth straight triumph over the fcCarthymen when he pitched the fet. Louis Browns to a 6-1 victory. Potter gave up but four hits and lost Ills shutout when Charlie Keller lagged him for a home run. A pair four-masters by Chuck Stevens fnd Frank Mancuso iced the game for the Sewellmen who moved into he first division. 5 Homers Beat Bucs Homers played an important part In the New York Giants' 6-1 tri-Jimph over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Johnny Mize banged his fifth round tripper and Rookie Jack Graham pis first to help Bill Voilette gain his econd win. The Giants moved into fourth place National league tie Vith the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs were beaten, 5-2! in 12 Innings by Billy Southworth's rejuvenated Boston Braves. Tied at I-all In the 12th, the Tribe tallied on double steal by Johnny Hopp and Tommy Holmes with Hopp racing cross, and added two more on Stu Bofferth's timely 6ingle. The victory Advanced the Braves to third place.

Brooklyn missed an opportunity Jo move into a first place tie with Jhe idle St. Louis Cardinals when Jhe Dodgers came out on the short nd of an 8-7 score against the Cincinnati Reds. Second Baseman Lon-iiie Frey of the Reds tied a National league mark when he handled 11 assists, a mark held by many other keystone guardians. 5 Straight Continuing to rebound from their seven-game losing skein, the Detroit Tigers made It five in succession when they edged out Washing-Jon's Senators, 9-8, in another 12-Inning affair. Eddie Mayo's two-tun single in the top of the 12th offset a single tally by the Nats In the bottom half to give Relief Pitcher peorge Caster the decision.

Russ Derry, recently acquired from the New York Yankees, laced out three doubles to lead the Philadelphia Athletics to a 7-6 win over lhe Cleveland Indians.
