American
Jimmy O'Dowd to Meet O'Grady
On Armory Card Thursday Eve
Southern Oregon fistic fans will
again see their favorite in action
next Thursday night at the nnnoiy,
Jimmy O'Dowd
where Gene O'Grady of Ashland,
the southern Oregon pride, will
meet Jimmy O'Dowd of Oakland.
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. The Ashland man is Jn the
pink of cnntlltlon, but is meeting
a man who is Just fresh from a
loiiE string of victories. Evans ar
rived recently In Klamath Kalis
in nn expensive car and put on the
high hat bo much that the loral
pugs have not much use for the
big city man. He was so boastful

Star in Isis Show
There comes on Tuesday and

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

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.

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."
