tjt 10 the stouffylue tribune tburljy aoart 22 1957 disappointment if you wre one of the spectators ao attended the pro- tecioaa wrestsiag bouts in the aresa oa friday eight no doubt you felt somewhat disappointed with the mala match featuring whipper watson and fritz von erich since it was watsons first appearance here fans felt that their eat york favorite would provide them with the tops in wrestling entertainment instead the entire bout was a boring repetition of eyegousin hairpulling and neckchokine tactics the match couldnt be compared with the lishtniafast session between pat oconnor and fritz von erich two week previous xeither wrestler looked good both matmen spent much of the time la the corners whee illegal holds were used with wreckleas abandon bunny duniops facial contortions probably held more of the spotlight than the actions of the grunt and itroati artiste it goes without saying that the fans expected more action watson failed to employ bis famous avalanche held which tyas felled many an adversary he managed to win the- rubber round only by applying the gruesome claw hold which la far from an exciting way to end any match he ap peared heipiesi in the initial roui d ind gained a decisiou in the middle session when von erich was disqualified for hitting the ref a belt on the jaw only minutes before watson had done the very same thing it was your reporters first opportunity to see whipper wat son in action although far from impressed i felt that he might have shown up to better advantage if he ha len paired with an opponent like fat oconnor or tex mckenzle expkxsivk business theres no denying the fact that competition in either the oba or the oasa is an expensive business even if favorable weather conditions prevail which at this time of year is rather uncertain its still going to cost the average team more money to operate than they will take in from a passthehat collection monday evenings game letween stouffville and greenbank k33 an eyeopening example of this fact the collection amounted to 1123 the umpires who hale from oshawa absorbed all of the collection plus some change the team had to furnish two new softballs and pay for the floodlights in addition to these expenses the ontario amateur softball association dips their hands into the homesters dwindling coffers and help them selves to a neat percentage from the top of the gate all in all the final result found the local squad in debt to the tune of 1000 ttemember this was a home game on a warm summer evening under favorable weather conditions you can realize the excessive expense involved when a club must travel more than 100 miles for a game in wellington or windsor or if they should have the misfortune to break two or three bats in a contest if this is not enough each entry must pay the required fee before it is accepted to me it hardly makes sense helping haxd if you arent one of the local baseball enthusiasts who will be travelling to alliston on saturday for the second game of the local juvenile playoff series then may i suggest that you drop down to markham and sit in on the junior tilt between our neighboring red sox and port dover it promises to be a thrill ing aftair according to the teams followers who saw the series opener in port dover on sunday markham dropped the game by a tight 76 score according to the clubs manager mr stan pringle the team is finding the going rather tough this season financially and like all teams they would appreciate a sellout attendance for their saturday home stand by taking in the contest you

on the can vas and he wore shabby shoes to match a ti offcolor jersey hung haphazardly over a budging mid riff and disappeared under a tensiontight belt he wore an unchanging sourfaced expres sion from the opening bell to the finish of the fight he ruled the rugged wrestlers with a firm hand but was the receiving end of some rather rough treatment when a number of wellmeaning blows missed their target and clipped tiie official on the chin the bout although it matched two topranking matmen had much to be desired neither wrestler employed many scien- tific holds in any one of the three rounds much of the ac tion took place in the ring cor ners where illegal tactics went unnoticed in the first round erich was the undisputed victor he had watson on the defensive throu ghout the major portion of the 15minute round in the second session the german bonebender unleashed a wicked right hand to whippers jaw but watson ducked and the blow caught dunlop squarely on the chin the official dropped to the can vas and although assisted to his feet by erich the ref dis qualified his assailant and awarded the round to watson the two wrestlers employed much the same tactics in the rubber round first erich would unleash a volley of body blows to watsons unprotected frame then whipper would turn the tables and inflict similar treat ment on his german rival tills action for the most part took place in the ring corners at the fifty minute mark of the scheduled hourlong duel the bout came to a startling climax fritz von erich stood helpless in the centre of the ring his left arm twisted grotesquely out of all proportions referee dun lop immediately halted the match watson had subjected his rival to the crippling claw hold whipper left the ring and left his opponent to fare for

the double figures early in the game in stouffville on wednesday afternoon the return contest is scheduled for the alliston park on saturday it is thought that the alliston entry will comprise many of the players who performed against our 1955 midget club alliston were the winners in three games as we go to press it is likely that coach murray stewart will use curveballer harry barber in the allimportant opener then come back with either murray holden or lynn taylor in the second game there is nothing too definite in this respect how ever don haynes will complete the battery the infield will see gord eckardt at first lynn tay lor on second ross madill at third and ted suzuki at short the outfield patrollers will be john little in left wayne red- sliaw at centre and bob stover in right murray holden and roger beazley may also take a turn at first base and harry barber is a utility second-sack- er eldon stickley is also a regu lar outfield performer coach stewart and manager
