Coming from behind on the laat. i. ; : i -.n '.urn around the course, Golden Mll-i lor,, held at the odds of 10 to a, gave the favorite players their first vic tory In many years. Delanelge and 'i'homond II also were well backed. American Tinge The victory had an American tinge ;is .Miss Paget Is a cousin of John Jay Whitney and O. V. Whitney. Two aVier American horses, M. D. Blair's Prince Cherry, and F. Ambrose Clark's tforley Boy, dropped out early In the race. Prince Cherry pulled up while ' :5orley Boy fell. W. Parsonage's Forbra, long shot winner of the 1032 running, was fourth. Golden Miller and Delanelge took the final Jump, 300 yards from the finish, together but In the final drive the favorite quickly pulled away as Jockey Wilson applied the batt. Delanlege Near Front Delanelge was close to the front from the time the small field got away. At dreaded fleener's Brook on the first time around tht 1 course, Saiithnrn Hub was Mttlnff fch nfli but the American borsa trailed close behind. As-they reached the grandstand at the half-way mark, Gregalach had taken . command, closely followed by Delanelge and Forbra. Delanelge, jumping beautifully, went Into the lead at Bechers' Brook for tthe sec ond time but Golden Miller had moved Into third place back of For bra. Thomond II moved up with the leaders and for a short time set the pace. Be weakened, however. In the final test but easily finished five lengths in front of Forbra. Wins In Canter The crowd cheered madly as Golden Miller pulled away from Delanelge and T,homond II dropped back. Ue was well In hand as he crossed the iinisii i.ne. ' The small field, In contrast to the record field of 06 in 1020, enhanced the chances of Miss Faget'a standard bearor. After four horses fell at the first Jump, the field quickly settled down to a beautiful contest. There was not ft single spill within view of the grandstand. Lone Eagle, a stable mate of Tho-! mond II, was a factor early in the race, but steadily dropped to the rear and finished far back. "Golden Miller gave me a perfect race," said his Jookey, A, G. Wilson, of Bt, Mary's, Ontario. "I knew we had It when Golden Miller drew up even with Delanelge Just before the final Jump. Ue Mad too much speed for the American horse In the stretch." None Injured The treacherous Jumps took their lightest toll in years, no rider or horse being Injured. The sun failed to break through the clouds, hut the vast crowd, said to be one of the largest In the history of the raco, was able to follow the running all the way with Vie rid of glasses. Golden Miller covered the long Jour, ney In 0 minutes, 20 and 2-4 seconds to break the record ot 0:28 set by Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark's Kellsboro Jack in winning the race last year. Al Karaslck, grappling gorilla of Portland, staggered under the wire with a lone fnll from Las Wolfe, Texas, laat night, In the main event on one of the best In the series of all-star wrestling cards Mack LUlard has been putting on at the armory. Charlie Hansen, 200, Seattle, trimmed Bob Stone, Chicago 300-pounder, In the first event. Karaslck took a lot of punishment from Wolfe's rolling scissors and vicious spread-eagle, before taking what proved to be the winning fall. The ageless Russian's chance came when Referee Ray Friable untied Wolfe's rolling scissors after Al had crawled to the ropes. As Wolfe backed away Karaslck floored him with a right-hand smack on the Jaw and put the Texan's shoulders on the mat with a body press. The punch was with the "open hand" and therefore "legal" In the best wrestling circles. The fall came In 45 minutes. Wolfe's efforts to even the match In the remaining 16 minutes, forced Karaslck to use all the tricks of his trade. Including slugging, biting anflj use or trie strangle nold. rrlsbie wearied of Al's roughness and ofrerrd Wolfe the match, but the Texan de clined. With but three minutes to go, Wolfe caught Karaslck In his roll ing scissors and hammered away at the Russian Lion until the gnng ended hostilities. When Wolfe re leased his ho If Karaslck was flat on his back, completely out but a winner. Bob Stone of Chicago, heretofore the vllllan In his Medford appear an c. was a hern for a few minutes laat night, when he outroughed Charlie Hsnsen, Seattle, tops among mat vllllans. to win the first fall ot their match with a flying mare and body press. The plaudits of the assemblage, coupled with Hansen's flying fists, were too much for Robert, however, Miller, the Favorite, Cops E OF TO SWEEP TICKETS NEW YORK, March 23.

Golf Club Opens Membership Drive For Spring Play In order to popularise the Rogue Valley golf course the .directors have hit on a scheme to put out a number of greens tee tickets among non-members, good until Juno 1, this year. Each member of the club will be given a number of the tickets to dispose of among his friends who do not belong to the club, and It Is the belief of the direc tors that by the time the five tickets have been used up. the non-member will be so enthused over the opportunity to play on the final 18-hole course that he will take out a membership. A number of greens fee tickets have been left with the chamber of Commerce and may be obtain ed there at a nominal cost by anyone wishing to enjoy the course during the excellent weath er now prevailing.

(AP) Hans Wagner settled 195 pounds ot bone and muscle Into a chair In bis shoulders forward and said: "You betoAa boy, the game la bet ter'n what she used to be." "You'd line to be playing today?" "Ah," and the aharp, rugged fea tures of the great Flying Dutchman of baseball 30 years ago glowed. "Ah, you bet but I gueas that's all over. Not Aa Rough "She ain't as rough aa what ahe used to be, but ahe'a aclentlflc today teamwork, that'a what It la now, and they're playing better baseball, "What about baseball then now?" and "Well, It waa this way you are the Oubs and we are playing you In the old days. Before the game we get together and someone says So-and-So aplked him and aome'oody else go bumped. Didn't make no difference who got spiked. Every guy on the team was gonna keep working on It until tha guy who did It got his. Why. some of the boys used to bring fllea Into the ball house and eharpen up their spikes. "We didn't do any talking with you, either. I played In the majora three years before I ever got spoke to by anybody on the other team. That wouldn't have happened except some feller hit two home runs In one game. Aa I paased him walking In, X aays: "Nice hits, feller.' Told Where to Go "You know what ,he said? He told me where I could go. " . . "Now the- manager gets the boys together and gives them a little talk about winning. Re geta the score card and telle Willie Jonea he'a gonna pitch. He looks over the batting or der and asks Willie how he's gonna pitch to this guy. and Willie tells him and they all listen and figure out where to play. It's teamwork, and it'a good baseball." "How'a the. pitching today?" Is nearlng the schedule drawing point. Sentiment at present seems to be for a six-club setup with the following teams favorable toward the plan: Grants Pass, Medford, Klamath Falls, Yreka, Weed, Duna mulr or Hilt.. A meeting will be held In the near future with representatives of those teams present. Team Has Support ' Halght, who did such a fine Job laat year managing the Rogues, states thalt the merchants and business men are behind tile club thla year nearly 100 per cent. One hundred and twenty dollars of the needed $3S0 has been raised so far and, ac cording to Halght, the remainder should be raised easily. Last year was the first time In several years that a Medford team haa finished the season financially even with the board and It Is doing such things like that that Instill confidence and baseball Interest In minds of a team's backers. ' Interest thla year In Medford Is the highest In a long, long time, and the fans can be assured that they will aee a hustling ball team on the field when the season opens. Plans earlier thla year were for the organization of two teams in Medford, but were dropped when it became apparent that there weren't enough playera for two clubs, and also for financial reasons.

He's about the finest left hander, except maybe Rube Waddell. Pitching la harder, too. -There's no freaks In It. Why, boy, they used to throw emery balls, mud balls, knuckle balls, aplt ball, screw. balls, fadeaways and half a dozen other kinds, and It was tough trying to hit a dozen different deliveries, . Good thing to have all that stuff out." Let Him Suffer "But they run up a lot of big scores," his listener suggested. "Well, I seen some good scores when I was playing. One day we waa in Chicago and Chick Fraser wanted to pitch he's coaching Brooklyn now. Well, the manager did not want him to but Chick had his mind made up, so he goes In. You know how the game ended? 36 to 6. They got to Chick and the manager Just left him In there and let him suffer." .The famous old shortstop, now 60 and a coach with the Pittsburgh Pi rates, would like to see the young. sters train better, although they live better than the playera of old. "Guy shouldn't ever get out of con dition," he advised. "Take my legs gue&B they're shorter shrinking something. I'm 9 feet 11 Inches and I used to be six feet, but they still get around." "Are the youngsters aa enthusias tic aa they used to be?" "Yes, sir. Why you cant keep some or these kids out of uniforms, They want to sleep In them."
