BLOOD FLOWS AT ARENA The Great Toga Needs Stitches After Chair Cokin by Watson In what was perhaps the wildest scene of mayhem and bedlam ever witnessed in the Oshawa Arena, e main bout of last night's restling show ended in a spine- tingling climax when referee Bert Maxwell declared the affair a draw, as he counted both men, "out of the ring The bout was R arnold at the en- trance to the dressing rooms, with rival fans joining the battlers, but the major portion of the damage had been done before this. WHIPPER GOES BESERK The usually calm and control- led Whipper Billy Watson was lit- erally judo-chopped into submis- sion as The Great Togo won the first fall but the British Empire champ - roared back to even the match with a series of shoulder- butts, topped off by the famous "whip" and top spread. The wily Togo, who entered the ring accompanied by a personal valet, his own tea service, a gorg- eous silk dressing gown and a dis- play of showmanship that com- pletely eclipsed anything ever seen here before, tossed convention to the winds in the final session. He slashed Watson with his vie- jous side-hand chop and employed hair-pulling and any other tactics that might suit his purppse. The big scene was staged out- side the ropes. The radio table, where the local station announcers from CKLB were 80 Burnin 3 ba the first target. Billy Watson, in an My per zy, grabbed a solid chair from the ringside and proceeded to Jabor The Great Togo over the bald 0ko. Not once, but about a dozen times, Watson pounded the heavy chair on Togo's head and the thuds could be heard all over the arena. Women screamed, some fainted and the blood started to flow. They continued their melee so long, jhat referee Maxwell counted both out of the ring, so tha of. ficially, the bout en ed in a draw. Actually, they did clamber back into the ring, with The Great Togo in a bewildered state, blood streaming from his scalp. It re- uired a physician's hem-stitch fob later, about 11 stitches all tol to close the scalp wounds inflicted by the chair. It ended in a wild scene of dis- order, with the referee obviously tickled-to-death to get out of. ti ring himself and the fans scream- ing for more blood. Togo's variety Rrsteried -- while even the loyal /hipper Billy Watson fans were a bit dismayed by his display of vic- ious temper. A VICTORY FOR ATKINS The semi-final saw Fred Atkins et the decision over Timothy oehagen and here again, the referee was in disfavor. Atkins got away with everything he tried -- m | because he resorted to his tacticr while the action was in the centrc of the ring. Timothy Geohagen had Atkins subdued with his famous "Irish a per Ai but this happened with Atkins cl linging to the ropes. When Maxwell tried to get Geohagen to desist -- and Timothy ignored the instructions, Atkins was awarded unpopular verdict. In the night's curtain raiser, Don he | Leo Jonathan, the young Salt Lake git giant with the magnificent build, threw so many drop kicks at Hassen Bey that he had the moustached one under control, well before the time limit. Jonathan issued a public chal- lenge to the winner of the main bout -- but since this was offic- fally termed a draw, it looks as if he'll have to wait for another op- portunity.

To get work done, farming now relies largely upon mechanical equipment. Manpower is scarce and costly and mechanization has been the answer to the farm help problem. Never before has it been possible for a man to do so much, so easily, and so quickly as it is today with up-to-date tractors and power equipment.
