iW-om every direction, out of the

they steal close to the ranches,

Owen Iloge, ninnager of the
seshoe ranch in the'nipr Horn
district said the elks' raids had
beun much earlier than usual.
This foretold a shortage of food
in the hills, and a hard winter
for' those animals which depend
upon random hits of frozen foliage.

Lawrence Fuller, one of the
large ranch owners in this section.
Is rHpnrtfed to have laid the matter
before the game rommissioner, de
manding either protect ion or re
dress. Meanwhile the elk, unmolested
upon recent charges of the hay
ptack and holder after each trip
lY"iu the mountains, prefers the
same hay to wild grass, the ranch
er prefers elk steak to lorts of hay,
and the game warden prefers not
to decide whose preference shall

goals which Bobby Howe sent his

fifth straight win by a 1-0 score.
The victory gave the Lions " the

Steel Shaft War GLOVES ILL FLY
Bj Frank (Jetty. I'
(United Press Sports Editor.)
Approval of the steel-shafted
clubs by the British rules of coif
committee removes another differ
ence of opinion existing between
that body and the United States
Golf association, leaving the ball i
question aft the only major differ-!
ence In the golf codes of the two!
nations. j
The IT S. CJ, A. has ruled Intoi
effect on January 1, 1930, the1 lanrer
and lighter hall, but as yet the
Royal and Ancient organization of
Britain has shown no disposition to
follow suit.
Approval of steel shafts by the
British committee ended a long
controversy, British golfers being
divided into two camps over the
question. The steel shafts have
been' legal In America for five
years but American golfers wer
forced to use wooden shafted clu'is
when competing In British tour
naments. "
Many American amateurs ami
professionals use steel shnftcd
clubs and were handicapped when
competing in English events1. Nor
ton Sniith, outstanding golfer of
the 1928-2!) winter season, enjoyed
sensational success with steM
shaftcd clubs In American tourna
ments but could not adapt himself
to the change In shafts when he
inVaded England last spring, arid
met with little success in the Ryder
Cup matches and the Hritlsh open
tournament. ' ' ' ' : '
The war against steel shafts was
led by the professional club hi." It
era, who advanced the argument
that the change would Interfere
with business.
Approval of steel shafts will not
mean elimination of hickory sh.if
ed clubs as many players' dislike,
the metal shafts. The majority
of American professionals who uso
steel -shafted woods have not been
eonverted to the metal shafts for
their Irons and continue to deinMid
the best while hickory for th?e
clubs;

TURKEY SHOOT NEAR
EAGLB POINT DEC. 22
EAGLE POINT, Ore., Dec. 17.
(Special.) There will be a turkey
shoot December 22nd on the Louie
Blaess ranch, 3 Vz miles east of
Eagle' Point on the Brownsboro
road. Ail are invited to come early
and stay all day.
From the first bqui to the main
event, .nothing Is expected to mar
the big boxing curd. At the armory
next Friday night, presenting Ray
Pelkey of Oakland, t'allf.. against
Willie Feldman of New York in
the top spot. This will be the last
card this year and none will prob
ably be given for a month, accord
ing to Promoter Tex Blckerstaf f.
"Friday's card is filted'with boys
who give the cash customers a run
for their money, starting off with
the four-round curtain raiser,"
said the promoter this forenoon.
"Al McCumber, hrbther of Kayo,
and (Maudie Hines, the 'black cloud
from Ashland,' will open 'he show.
Both boys tip the beams nt Hi5
pounds and it I "onunrt to end In
a knockout as both boys know
Mow to throw gloves. '
"The second bout," he continued
'will present Ralph Rurkel of
Medford with ' Harry Jerry, the
game little - redskin from t'hilo
quin. The Indian is young and last
week at Klamath Falls he put
Snide Campbell on the canvas for
the full count. These boys will
weigh in around; 140 pounds. A
special event of six rounds will
present Lee Hull of the Pelican
Bay Lumber company and the
veteran Indian boxer, Billy Huff,
of Chiloquin. And if they dupli
cate the fight they had-at Klamath
when they had the fans on their
feet all the time, Med ford fans
will see one of the best fights here
in a long time. "They fought so
hard last we'k. I immediately n--maiched
them for the Medfonl
bout. Tln-y will fight six rounds
here instead of the four they went
in Klamatn. -
"Now speaking of the semi
uimlup." h-aid Tex. I am putting
on two heavyweights vho may
cause the fbor boards of the ring
to be strengthened. Dick Reed,
1 1 0 pounds, former University of
Oregon football Mar, and K. O.
.Met "umber, who has won most of
his battles by the knockout mule,
and seems to be slated for the
southern Oregon championship.
"Two of the coast's best fighters
will mix it for ten rounds in the
irta in event," continued Tex, "with
Ray Pelkey, who defeated Gene
()' irady, meeting Willie Feldman
of New York City. Although neith
er of the fighters, has ever ap
peared in Med ford, both are fairly
wVll known in southern Oregon.
Pelkey, experienced for 14 years in
the ring business and still boxing
in all the big coast cities, is not
afraid to meet the .best. He al
ways forces the fight and plans on
taking this classy Jewish boxer,
who has .ndqpted Ashland as his
home.
Willie Is a great favorite over in
Klamath Falls," said the. promoter
itt conclusion, "and he has won all
'of - his"' flfrtUR "Ninee" "burning ' to
southern Oregon. It was only a
snort time ago that he defeated
Tutfy O'Dowd, who had won eight
straight fights before he met Wil
lie at Klamath.'
'Feldman is 2 years old and has
aspirations " of ' meeting Mickey
Walker for the middleweight
crown. lie Is now a stable mate
of Gene O'Grady arid is anxious to
nleet Pelkey to.nvenge Gene's de
feat, suffered . two. ; Weeks ago at
Portland.
