MISSOURI COMPANY ON YOUR DESK- Otto Tosses Mike Over Ropes And Is Disqualified Complacent Johnny Stole Quito Unperturbed as Ludwig, the Nazi Man, is Disqualified Twice for Itoughness Large Crowd Sees Exhibition SINKEY BEATS BOXEtt Although Otto Ludwig won the first fall after a 40-minute struggle at the American Legion Arena here last Thursday night, many felt that the victory should have gone to Johnny Stote, who out-rasscled him plenty.

In the first place, it looked as if Ludwig out-weighed Stote by twenty pounds, although they were weighed in of 17 on 1 Iflfi nnnnrk rosnectivelv. A nlare Stote. who chewed gum continuously and spat copiously in 'most any airecuon, was a better and a cleaner wrestler. In the first frame the fireworks started as soon as the bell rang. The matsters circled each other waniy until sppint? an ODenintr.

clashed with the German with what looked to be a fatal arm lock, but Ludwig man aged to reach the ropes and tne noia was broken. In the first part of the round, Stote seemed to be able to "treat the Teuton as he pleased and made him climb outside the ropes at least seven or eight times for relief from the punishing arm bars. Wears Stote Down Ludwig soon tired of this punish ment, however, ana starteu gerang tougher and tougher. A few minutes later he threw Johnny over the ropes for the first time, but Johnny climbed back in with the assistance of loving fans who were ready to catch him from then on, and tangled with Otto again. Ludwig threw the boy from Toledo through the ropes twice more, and being warned by referee Meroney about unnecessary roughness, turned and clipped iMike rather soundly.

Johnny then braved the bad man again, but was soon in his clutches ifor what looked like the finale as Otto started, finishing him with an airplane spin. This failed to daunt Stote, who in some unexplained way wriggled from his grasp and secured an arm lock on the German which sent him for the ropes again. Meroney fcroke the hold and Ludwig threw Johnny through the ropes again for a ten or more count, finishing up the first fall quite easily as Stote clambered back in. The second round opened with Ludwig growling for more, and with Johnny bent on revenge. Stote, who in spite of all this still chewed his gum as complacently as a mule eating briars, chased Ludwig into the northeast corner of the ring with a few blows to the stomach and made him climb the ropes.

Otto lost his temper as usual and wrapped one of the ever-popular towels around Stote's neck and choked him until clouted by the referee. Then, between glares at the booing audience, he threw Johnny through die ropes three more times into the waiting arms of Stote fans and was disqualified for such brutal tactics after 7 1-2 minutes. Refvree Tossed Ovet i Ludwig didn't pay much attention to the warnings of the referee in the third frame as he was too intent on punishing Johnny. Finally Meroney attracted his attention and was promptly tossed over the ropes. Meroney gave Stote the fall.

Time, three minutes. Wrestler is Better Man The highly touted fight between the wrestler and the boxer was a fizzle, as Sinkey outweighed Jack Lewis entirely too much to make things interesting. A bout of this nature could be interesting if both parties were evenly matched, but with the wrestler, with his natural advantage of being able to use his hands and outweighing the boxer by at least fifty pounds, the result of the fight was only too ap-jparent after a few seconds in the Hng. To win, Sinkey had to take two falls, and for the boxer to win, Lewis had to knock out the big man or make him quit during ten three-minute rounds. Sinkey won the first fall in two min utes with a double arm-lock, and the second fall in two minutes, 45 seconds, with an arm bar.

Portageville In Surprise Victory In Kitty League Awarded First Place in Kitty Loop League Over Jackson and Union City, First and Second Place Winners, by Technicality To the surprise of the Portageville Pirates, their manager, L. A. Harris, and Kitty League baseball fans, the Pirates were awarded first place in the second half of the pennant race by Frank Bassett, president of the League, because the winners of first and second place, Jackson and Union City, had used more than the three allowed professionals to play in more than ten games. Although Portageville used two professionals throughout the season, Jackson used seven professional players, and Union City used four, which automatically excluded them from possession of the title.

Clayton Schultz will referee all three fights. Cardinals Still In First Place; Cubs Are Second Never before in many years of the history of the National League has the pop-eyed pennant race been so close. The leading Cardinals have a precarious 2 1-2 game margin over their nearest rivals, the Chicago Cubs, while the New York Giants are only one game behind the Cubs. Sunday made little change in the standings, as the Cardinals won the first eame of a doubleheader with the Philadelphia Phillies, 11-0, and lost the second, 4-2, while the Iriants inched themselves forward a little with a 3-1 vicory over Pittsburgh. The Cubs' game with Boston, which they probably would have won, was rained out.

Should the Cardinals lose the next game, scheduled with Philadelphia, they would remain in first place, the next two teams are so neck and neck that should the Cubs lose to the braves and the Giants win from Pittsburgh, the Giants would move into second place. If the Cubs are rained out one day and the Giants win, the two teams will be tied for second. According to the dope sheets, how ever, St. Louis, New York, and Chicago should all three win their games this week which would make the game Sunday at Sportsman's Park between St. Louis and New York a thriller, the Giants being the only team in the National League to have a record of more victories than defeats against St Louis.

i Caruthersvillo Amateur Boxing Club, which should pep up the menu at the' local coliseum quite a bit. A few fast rounds between the prelim and the main attraction should relieve that long wait between matches. The main hold-up, as we get it, is that both boys work in the same drugstore and don't get the same night off. A simple difficulty like that should be easily ironed out. 0 0 0 Flash! Galic Farmers win World Series! Not the big one, however, but the Little World Series in the Kennett Municipal Softball league.

Both the Galics and the Standard Oil boys won two games of the first four played in the four out of five series, but the Galics whipped the Oilers 8-1 in the final game. The lop-sid. ed score came as a complete surprise to Kennett softballikers, as the other games were rather closely contested. ooo Things Caruthersville could use that other towns have: Lighted football field more and better tennis courts golf links park with swimming and wading pools, playground facilities more business men backing high school football teams gymnasium to be used for boxing, wrestling, etc. softball league ooo A small crowd witnessed another boxing match sponsored by the amateur boxing club last Saturday morning, when Claude Baird, 142, scored a technical knock out over Robert Mc-Turner, 132, in the first round.

The fight, which was scheduled for six rounds, opened with both fighters evenly matched and hammering away at each other viciously. McTurner knocked Baird down once, but Baird arose to down McTurner three times, any one of which might have been for a ten count if Baird had gone to a neutral corner. At the end of the first round, McTurner was practically out on his feet, and was clinging to the ropes when Eddie Pate, who was ref-ereeing in the absence of Clayton Schultz, awarded the match to Baird. ooo A blind 'bogey, which started last Sunday at the Hayti links with the A flight players teeing off first, will continue through this week, and will probably end up next Sunday. Thirty-six holes will be played by each play er in the tourney, any nine of which may be played at any time.

Following the A Flights, which were played at the beginning of the week, will be the and flights, which include players all the way down to duffers, running through the rest of the week.
