AINTREE, March 23. (AP) Dorothy Paget' Gllden Miller, the fa
vorite, today won the 96th running or the Grand National before a crowd
300,000. J. B. Bnow's American owned Del fine I go was second arid T.ho
i.iond II, owned by John Hay Whitney of New York, third In the field
of 30.
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.

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.
Hansen evened the match with a Boa-
ton crab. Stone was carried to the
dressing room, and could not return
for the deciding fall. Hansen was
awarded the match, along with a
hearty Bronx cheer from the crowd.
Ray Friable reteroed both matches
and kept the wrestlers In hand.
Jock Forsgren, Canadian chomplon,
and Jack Donovan, Now York, heavy
weights, were Introduced from the
ring, with the announcement that
both mn would appear in future
bouts here.
Miss Sexton Here Miss J. Sexton,
of Portland, was in Medford Thurs

BASEBALL BETTER NOW
ADMITS HONUS WAGNER
By L. I. KIMBALL
LOS ANOELES, March 33. (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.

"Good pitching, f course, we aint
got no Christy Mathewson, but there's
Grove. 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."

better than the playera of old.

"Are the youngsters aa enthusias

"Yes, sir. Why you cant keep

They want to sleep In them."
The umpires are all right, too, and
