Cal., in a lu-romll main event. O'Grady is in tho midst of a heavy training program and is declared to have taken fighting more seriously than ever before. It appears that since Gene took a heating from Kay Pelky in Port land a short time ago Promoter Tex lUckerstaff has received more offers from the boys who earn their living by throwing the leather than ever before. Out of the many he selected Tuffy O'Dowd as O'Grady's next opponent. He is classed among the best light heavyweights around the bay district. He won eight straight bouts. Including a win ovur the much talked of fighter. Wesley Ketchell, tho southpaw who kuyoed George Dixon In San Fran cisco In one round. Tuffy is n pleasing lineman and Is declared to he an ideal man for Gene. They both have the same height, weight and reach. They will tip the scales around 170 pounds. Tuffy forces tho flr.ht at all times and may be one of the best crowd plensers who lias ever been in Medford. O'Grady Is training hard for tho match anil will be in the pink of condition when ho squares off Thursday tor O'Dowd. He realizes lie was not in the best trim when ho met Pelkey and now is In no mood to take chances. Ho is work ing hard for a return match with tho Oakland man and knows he will ho that much closer by a de feat over O'Dowd. ' The six-round seml-windup will present Austin Knsnnder of Ash land and Kid ICvans of San Krnn- Cisco.

George Walsh Will Star in Isis Show There comes on Tuesday and Wednesday to tho lsis theatre a photoplay which Is typical of the modern type of fortuno-inakers. It Is called "Ills Klse to I'umo" und stars George Walsh. It Is the sort of picture whoso fumo travels ahead of It. (icorgo Walsh enacts tho char acter of a comiueror: nn appella tion which may ho taken two ways. Tho story calls on him fo comiuer himself and also to win tho boxing championship of tho world. Ho Is a brilliant boxer as well as nn uncommonly good actor. The combination Is Irresistible. A splen did cast supports tho star In "Jits Hose to Fame." "Street of Illusion," ends Its two days run at the Isis tonight. For the first tune In the history id' southern Oregon high school athletics ll Medford high school basketball team was defeated Sat urday night by a Klamath Fulls high school sound. The score was 33 to 15, and "the wolves have started to howl.'" They want the scalp of Coach Merrill llagan. The howls are lll-limcd and unwar ranted, Medford basketliall teams uf tho past, have rode roughshud over Klamath Falls, who offered no "opposition, worth mentioning. That was when Medford had young athleteB, six feet tall, and hoys who were fast on their feel, and tireless. Medford teams used to run opponents to death in the first half and massacre them In the second half. For flvo years or more Medford basketball flrsi strimr sounds were composed of stars. They were a sturdy lot and the gamo was second nature to thein. They never took time out, no matter how hard tho bat tle, and never laid down on the floor, to get their wind. They won two state ehumplonshlps, werej runners-up twu years, and at one state tournament played three games in a Hay, to capturo iniiu place. Ijctin Years lit Ilium. They flourished 111 the golden veins of local high school mil let Irs. but these are the lean yearn. The lulskelball squad now lias no Al Melvin, no Hill Morgan, no lied McDonald, no Cliff tinrnelt. no Gilbert Knlps. no Mervyn Chns tain, no Singlers. no ltelchsteln. no Williams, no Hurt, no Jimmy Allen, no harpshootlnB basket throwers. There are no seasoned stars In tho line-up. Tho 11)29-30 siiuail is Just a comparatively Inex perienced basketball team, that every school in the stato wants to play, where they formerly had to beg for games. 11 is a terrific Million to civic pride, to be defeated by a Klam ath Falls quint, but tho fans will have to brace themselves, and hn prepared to "take a few on the chin." Medford simply has nut tho material for a basketliall team, that will ho a contender this year, and "the howling of the wolves" won't help any. Tho present con dition can't lust forover some stars may start shining next year, or the year after. Consideration should be given In tho Klamath Invasion, the locals were playing tholr first confer ence game of the season, that- it had no first string letternmn from last year's stale champion quint and that tho squad will Improve as the season progresses. The, leani will do Its sharo. with hard practice, and they feel worse about the Saturday drubbing than any one else. Cheering on sidelines will do them more good than "hgwling" on tho street corners, nnd In public places. Associated Vruss t'lioto Alble Booth, little giant of Yale's big blue football team, has turned his attention to basketball! Improvements in Local Fox Theatres Early This Spring Karl 1 Crabb, northwest dl. vision mummer of tho Fox West Coast Theatres, with headquarters ill Seattle, was in Medford today, transacting business Willi Mana ger Mendenhall of the Fox the atres in Medford. Mr. Crabb says they aro well pleased with their 'Medford ln- vestment and the patronago given them bv the people of the cltv and valley, and are making plans for extensive Improvements in both the Cralerian and ltlallo theatres lu the spring. Mr. Crabb also says the pic tures booked for both their the atres here this year nrc among the best to be shown In tho country. "Vagabond Lover?

Tho rich clowning of Mario Dressier added much to tho enjoy able picture, while ltudy btmsetf contributed not a few laughs, Sally Itlalie made u lovely heroine, tho perfect foil for Vulloe'a love-making.

Gloria Swanson in Craterian Talkie Gloria Swanson Is with us ugain. Shu makes her Medford debut on the all-talklliK screen ut tho Fox Craterian theater today. Her first audible vehicle Is "Tho Trespasser," and in addition to speaking her lines with tho same easy naturalness which character ized her appearance on tho silent screen, alio sings. Miss Swanson's voice Is resonant, pleasing and well trained, and tho songs aro worked In very naturally. "Tho Trespussed" Is without u doubt Miss, Swanson's greatest achievement. ' It Is an exceedingly dramatic piece, and was written and directed by lOdmund Gouldlng. Tho ffno enthusiasm, tempered by artistic restraint, which bus ever marked Miss Swanson's work, is much in evidence in "Tho Tres passer." Women aro going to like this picture a lot, but there'll bo many an honest, salty tear shed. There ore two songs In "Tho Trespasser," but neither is a theme song. Tho new one Is "Love," written especially for Miss Swan son, whllo the standard work Is Toselll's "Serenade."
