PA'GE TES MEDFOTTO MATE TRTBTTNT!!, MEBFOTtD, 'OREGON. FKTDXY, KriTTST 10, 193?. ALL-STAR TEAM TO PLAY ROGUES IE Tha Siskiyou County All-Stars baaa ball team will Invade Medford Sunday to meet the local Roguea la the llrt of a three-game eerlea. Next Sunday the two teama play at Yreka, with the third game also to be played at Yreka In September, during their an nual Cold Rush celebration. The game Sunday will be played at the lair grounda and will atar at 2:30. Nibs Speara, who established hlm aell as one of the northwest's out standing bush pltchera by hli work with the University of Idaho team and later In the Timber league thla summer, has been added to the Roguea' pitching staff and will atart on the mound. Jack Hughea will be held In reserve should the Stars hit Nlba too freely. A new catcher will also be on hand, atates Manager Halght. The Rogues have been weak beblnd the bat ever elnce Billy Cal vert, the 18-year-old sensation, left. Norrls, who caught a good game last Sunday, will be stationed either at second base, his regular position, or In the outfield. According to reports from Yreka, a large caravan of Montague. Hilt. Hornbrook and Yreka fans plan to accompany the team. Regardless of tha fact that the Rogues have lost their last five gamea, the largest crowd of the season Is expected to witness the game. "Scoop" Puhl'a Rlnky Dink katball team can take It. Last evening the South Ivy street aggregation suffered the second decisive defeat aince their organization a few days ago, and to day Manager Puhl bobbed up with a new challenge, thla time to Sam Col ton's Office Boys. In laat night's clash the Rlnky Dinks lost a lfl-to-B decision to the Jennings Tire team. , . Tuesday night, Manager puhl's nine went down before Ray Henderson's heavy hitting All-Stars, 85 to 0, and very nearly had a rerooflng program on their hands when the houaos sur rounding the diamond were battered by home run after home run hlta off Pitcher Ray Lageaon. But the chal lenge to any other ball team In the city waa aa prompt after thla defeat aa after last night's. The Rlnky Dinks are good looaera and, If the rate of lessening the mar gins of their defeats contlnuea with the Office Boy game, they will aoon be winners, It Is Manager Puhl's con Meteorological Report Forecast i Medford and vicinity: Pair tonight and Saturdny; little change In tem perature.

Medford Baseball Chief Cites Obstacles in Path; Lack Diamond, Players By HAL HAIGHT Manager Rogues Baseball Team. A great deal of criticism has been heard In regard to the local base ball team, more so of late since Beveral games have been lost. Most of the fans understand the condition here, but for those who do not, X will endeavor to explain them. Baseball Is not played In either the local grade or high schools (and why It is not Is a mystery to many) therefore few young players have been developed here within the past few years. Next, there are no baseoau fields In Medford available for those who do care to play. The only field where games can be played la at the fairgrounds, which la the worst In southern Oregon. The Rogues had a fairly good team early tn the season, but lost many players, due to the fact that employ ment could not be found here for players. Bill Courtney, a Normal school boy, returned to Portland be cause he could not get work; Charles Orr, who succeeded him, did likewise after playing for six weeks. Paul liens, a promising Jacksonville boy, found work In California, while Billy Cal vert, the most promising young catcher seen here In years, returned to Seattle to work, after playing five games. McLean and Joy became dis satisfied for the same reason, as have others. It Is Impossible to import a player and secure him a Job when there are hundreds of local men out of work. Gate receipts are too small to pay much for players. One la lucky to get a $50 gate and after paying the visiting club their $38 guarantee and paying for baseballs, etc., there is not much left. A few years ago when times were better tha fans would fill the grandstand, and on Monday the management would solicit even more funds from the merchants with which to pay players. This practice has not been taken the past two seasons, and in my opinion should not be fol lowed. Other teama In the league have been far more fortunate. Both the Ewauna and the Shaw Bertram Lum ber companies employed the best play era they could find. Both companies employ around five hundred men or more and Jobs were made for players. Ewauna haa two players farmed out from the Mission team and two from Sacramento, while Shaw Bertram im ported four former Three X league players from the east, besides signing Swede Rlsberg, former major league star. Orants Pass has been fortunate In having four former league players to build their team from, namely Ken Williams, Al Droulette, Jake Oype and Jud Pernoll. When one takes Into consideration that the team waa deprived of a playing field for two months to even practice on, let alone play their games, they should be complimented, Instead of criticized for their past record. A scarifer was run over the play ing field, which dug up the dirt to a depth of about 10 Inches, to ease the falls of the rodeo riders during the Jubilee, and when rain made the field a sea o: mud approximately loads of sawdust was dumped, which j?lves one an Idea of what our ln flelders now have to contend with. There are many good fans In Med ford. They are entitled to better base ball and should have it, but It's a tough Job to give it to them under prevailing conditions. Why do they ban baseball In the schools here and deprive the kids from playing the national pastime? Why doesn't the city provide playing fields for youngsters? Probably merely be cause a few of the city dada and of ficials don't care for the sport. It's killing off the game the na tional game, I might say and Its up to the loyal baseball fans to cry a lot louder and longer to rectify this uncalled for condition. DIEGEL FINISHES IN SUB PAR GOLF ROCHESTER, N. T., Aug. 10.--p) Leo Dlegel's parting shot at the Aak Hill Country club's east course & alz bling 86 that equalled ths course rec ord haa earned tha Jittery -nerved veteran first money In the Rochester Centennial-Walter Hogen goif tournament. That grand finish, five strokes un der par, enabled Dlegel, now pro at the Phllmont Country club, Phila delphia, to wind up with a two-stroke lead over Denver's perennial runner up, Ky Laffoon. Laffoon led Dlegel by a single stroke after the third round yesterday morn I tig, but his final round of 60 in the afternoon, though It beat par by two strokes, served only to give him sec ond place at 378, Harry Cooper, "marathoner" from Chicago, and Herman Barron of New York, likewise posted 66s on their laat crack at tho course. Cooper's 66 gave him a total of 383 and a tie for third money with Willie MacParlane of Tuckahoe, N. Y. Barron's sent hla 73 hole total of 388. Walter Hnen, Rochester, had 388; Gene Sarazcn, New York, and Paul Runyan, P. a. A. champion from White Plains, 390. HOW THEY. STAND. .0- (By the Associated Preaa.) Coast, W. L.

Lethers took tha odd fall with a body slam, in 14 minutes. When Belcastro flattened him with a body preas after three Sonnenbers. to win the first fall in 13 minutes, It waa tha only time tha tall Texan looked poor. The Italian couldn't tie up Lethers' rubber legs long enough to keep him down, the Dalles man stepped out of all his wrlstlocka, and Belcastro'a newly -acquired drop-kick bounced, off tho southerners' aides with no results. Belcastro kept his tall adversary at bay with haymakers, bouncing out of reach when they were returned, but couldn't stand up against the onslaught of unorthodox tactics that Lethers finally turned loose. The Texan won tha, second fall In 13 minutes with one of his devastat ing rolling -scissors, after a three-cornered stanza with Referee Ray Priable tangling In all parts of the arena. Belcastro broke most of Lethers' holds with wild acramblea out of the ring, or with clever tooth work on tender parts of the Texan'a shins, but got it all in return, even to a "hangman's hold" between the ropes. Billy Newman, 203-pound Denver grappler, won two out of three falls In the aeml-flnal against "Lightning" Pat McGlll. 182Vi, youthful Nebras kan muscle -mangier. The odd fall came In nine minutes with a Boston crab. The Denrerlte picked up McGlll In an airplane- spin to take tha first canto, but clamped on a strangle hold that cost him the second fall, after three minutes. McGlll tried everything on his opponent, exhibit ing a wealth nf technique, but was unable to compete with Newman's unorthodox wrestling. The two were even matches in strength, and tan gled with a will. Newman challenged the winner of the lBelcastro-Lethers fracas, or any other heavyweight who cares to try conclusions. Promoter Mack Llllard was re warded with one of the largest crowd ever to wltneaa a local card. 3Y CHICAGO, Aug. 10. (AP) Al Slm mona.

Tuna Fish Brought To Gaff After 3-Day Fight LIVERPOOL, N. 8., Aug. 10. (AP) A battle for nearly three days and nights with a giant tuna fish, the dream of every deep-scH angler, has brought Thomas Howell, Chicago grain market ope rator, a 703-pound prize. This beat by 13 pounds the local record- breaker caught off here a few years ago by Zane Grey, the novelist. ' Howell and several companions took turns at the line in a rough sea and were near exhaustion at the end of the 63-hour combat, said to be the longest on record. The game fish hauled Howell's 38- ! ton yacht, Thalia, for 300 miles be lore it surrendered. .V.. 3 FIRST QUALITY tires in every detail. Built by one of America's largest and most famous makers.
