Leo Nomellini & Enrique Torres defeat the Sharpes in a disputed decision on 53-05-06 in San Jose, CA; the Sharpes continue to claim the title in other towns and defeat Nomellini & Torres on 53-05-29 in Oakland, CA and on 53-06-11 in Stockton, CA to retain the title; the Sharpes are again billed as the champions in San Jose, CA as of 53-06-17 for having regained the title "recently" in Salinas, CA (San Jose Evening News, 53-06-17).
Billed as having "lifted the crowns from the Sharpes last Friday night in Oakland" (The Fresno Bee, 59-06-08) although the Sharpes actually wrestle Torres & Leo Nomellini for the title to a draw (Oakland Tribune, 59-06-06).
Leave the area in 60-11; Ben returns in 61-01 but Mike moves to the Los Angeles territory; still billed as champions as of 61-04-28; officially vacant in 61-05 when Mike no longer wrestling in the area.
