Wallace had poor luck with his walks. He issued four and two of ~ the free tickets eventually developed into runs, one on a stolen base and .~ An error, the other on a scratch hit, in the 10th inning finale. The Indians were held to five hits and failed to get a runner on base in five of the 10 rounds.

Chapman took off for second on the next pitch and pilfered it as the batter struck out.

Martin Beaten By Akron Matman

Martino Angelo, the rugged Akron Italian junior heavyweight, upset favored Wayne Martin, popular Hollywood matman, who had racked up six straight victories here last night, when Martin missed in an attempt for a flying head scissors and crashed from the ring to the concrete floor of the Sports Arena. The rivals had split the first two falls before Martin came to grief, with Angelo taking the first in 10 minutes with a hammerlock and the Qalifornian snatching the second after 10 minutes with a flying head scissors. The latter was counted out on the floor after missing connections for the same weap~
