For the past few week, matmen have been displaying choice bits of roughness In the local ring, taxing the endurance of ordinary ref erees who at times were also drawn Into the struggles. Jack Kogut, well known wrestler of Denver Colo., will referee all three bouu on the armory card, and has announced there will be no back talk from the grapplers. "I aim to keep the boys In their places and If they're too ambitious they'll find out there's a referee la the ring they can't bluff," Kogut said. Bob atone, Dee Moines, la., prob ably one of the meanest grapplers to have ever appeared In Medford, de pends a great deal on roughness to gain his ends, and no doubt will at tempt It In varying forms In to night's main event with. Lea Wolfe of Texas. Wolfe can take It and give It back Just as hard, but Kogut will be constantly on hand to keep both men In line. Stone, a quick tempered Individual, last week re fused to heed the referee and In sisted on using all the roughness In the book. He lost his match to Swede Anderson, local boy, on a foul because of his tactics. Some clever wrestling. Is expected In the 45-mlnute match between Les Orlmea and Al Schnell, both of Aus tralia. Fans are promised fast work fhen these two boyst meet. Roland Warren, Klamath Palls, who has up peared several times In Medford rings, will meet Harry Hall, Fargo, H. D., In the opening event. Warren will have tough evening to keep hie shoulders up, In view of Hall's winning most of his matches. The card will begin promptly at 1:16, Promoter Mack Llllard said this afteroon. Popular admission prices will prevail.

OREGON HEALTH chop hitter, all right," Owney con tinued, "but they all were then. It was the way of the game. The dis tances were shorter, the playing was faster. They didn't have time for those haymaker swings they use to day. The pitcher's box was Just 45 feet from the batter then. It's 60 feet away today, that's why they find time for those big healthy swings. Ours was a faster, more scientific game. "They're placing too much pre mium on bull strongth in the dia mond today. The people liked It better our way. They used to pour out to the games, rain or shine, and they didn't have the accommodations they have today. They sat on rough boards and got splinters In the scats of their pants, but they never missed a game." Owney was playing with Oleveland then and several other east ern leagues, "Even those who hated McGraw," he added, turning back to the late leader of the Now York Giant, "came to see him. They hooted him. but he didn't mind at all. McGraw was a dual personality, a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde all fight on the field, all friendship off the diamond. He was the friendliest fellow going, "The game was played chiefly by the Germans and the Irish then, any way," Owney continued. "We didn't have all the '.skis' and Mnskls' In It, and It was more of a rough and tum ble gang, with everybody having a good time. "It was 30 years ago I last saw , McGraw. He came through here with I Coml&kcy, the two of them' taking their teams around the world. The Giants and the White Sox played ' right out where the Junior high j school is now.

Depot The TOGGERY Celebrates It's 3 1 st Anniversary (Contributed) TIfE Inst few years have wroupht many changes in our country and in our commu nity, and when something occurs in our midst which causes us to stop short in dismay, and we sometimes wonder what IS SURE, dependable or worthy of our trust. The only sure way to judge a man or his business is by their past records, and TITP! TOGGERY, with a thirty-one year record in Hertford, under the same management, stands ready to Be judged. To the people of Medford, THE TOGGERY ii not only a store for men, it is an institution a friendly atmosphere prevails, and whether you want a new suit or a bit of advice on fishing, you not only re, but you FEETj equally welcome. Ag to the dependability of the merchandise, little need be said, for QUALITY has ever been the key note of the goods sold at THE TOGGERY. As to the tips available on where, when and how to catch the biggest steelheads, all one need say is that "Toggery Bill" has earned his reputation as a fisherman of note through years of experience. . So much for the store and now for the past record of the man. Mr. Isaacs has ever had the in terests of the city of Medford truly at heart; has for 31 years been a member of the Chamber of Commerce and served many of them on the Board of Directors. One of the first contributions to tho fund for constructing of the road to Ci'flter Lake, he has enthusiastically aided the growth of this wonderful rpsort. Musical Circles have felt the interest and sup port of Mr. Isaacs from the days long ago when he was one of the first business men to participate in presentation of operas by the local Choral Society, to the time in 1931 when, as its President, he launched the Southern Oregon Music Association, enabling Medford music lovers to hear the out standing concert artists here in their own city. Because of his enviable reputation as a sports man and fisherman of note Mr. Isaacs' beautiful country home, Big Rock Lodge on the Rogue, has been the scene of much entertaining for promi nent and famous people. No amount of time or ex pense has ever been too great for Mr. Isaacs to spend if in soloing he might endear to a stranger the city so dear to himself. Ever an enthusiastic advocate of advertising, Mr. Isaacs gives much credit for his business suc cess to the extensive advertising policy he has al ways maintained. He believes that no business can live and maintain its vitality without a generous advertising program. On this The Toggery's thirty-first birthday, no greater gift could come to William F. Isaacs,. its founder, than to know that the people of hig own community have confidence in his store and in him. That they feel he has earned their trust and loyalty; and on this occasion it is his wish that the years to come may cement the bond between The Toggery and its friends even more securely. jfck Great Community a A K f.
