Reason for the cancellation of this week's card Is the Elks' smoker Thurs day night to decide the champion ship of the Medford CCC district. Promoter Llllard suspended wrestling activities so that all Elks may attend the boitng exhibition. Meanwhile the promoter Is looking around for new material. Masked Marvel having been suspended by the boxing commission for his un ethical work last week. Wagner, the Oregon State grappler, received a welt on the back of his head from one of the flying chairs that may make him a little wary about reap pearing here lmmedltely. In looking over the wrestlers who have demonstrated their wares In Medford, It la found that a good many have gone to distant points In search of new wrestling glory. Abe Kaplan, New York "Jewish Gent," Is now wrestling In Buenos Aires, South America. George Wil son, spectacular flying tackier from University of Washington, Is wrest ling In Paris, aa is Bonny Mulr, curly headed Australian.

Three Astoria high players, one from Tills mook and one from Klamath Falls, ere selected by members of the Ash land high Grizzlies, southern Oregon champions, on their all-opponents first team, while on the second out- : fit, Medford placed two men. and Aalem, Astoria and Klamath Pall one each Selecting the beat men they played against from a list of 10 different teams they met all year, tne Grizzlies named Ted Sarpola, Astoria, and Baumgartner, Tillamook, forwards: Bob Riasman, Astoria, center, and Bob A net, Astoria and Nello Qlovanlnl, Klamath Falls, guards. On their second team, Medford placed Stan Kunzman and Ray "Stretch" Ettlnger at forward and center respectively: Phil Sahlstrom. Salem, forward, and Carl Eglehoff, Klamath Falls, and Nlelson, Astoria, guards. Sarpola end A net both were all state men last yoar, and according to the Grizzlies, certainly showed It In the Ashland game at Astoria,, in which Ann I and lost the only game this year. Honeat John Warren, As toria coach, calls Bob Riasman, cen ter, his moat valuable player, and evidently the Grizzlies string along In that respect by saying that he la the best all-around player they met all year. At that, though, long and heated wna the argument before R Ira man was chosen over Ettlnger of Medford, who was named on the second team. In speaking of Baumgartner, the tiny flash from Tillamook, the Grlz Ilea aatd that he made them look very sick. He had scored an average of nearly 13 points per game this year and against Ashland was high point man and the best player on the floor. Best guard they met all year was Nello Olovantni, Klamath Falls, were selected by members of the Ash Nello Qlovanlnl, Klamath Falls cap tain. Big, fast and a great defensive and offensive player, the Orlzzlles didn't hesitate In piecing him at one of the guard position on their all opponent first team. On the second outfit, Ettlnger and Kunzman from Medford were named aa Jiuit about the second best play ers they met all year.. It was Kunz man's great floor work In both Ash-land-Medford battles which won him the mention, and es for Ettlnger, hlis scoring and center Jumping ability were the factors In his being chosen RETURNING JEWS FIND BERLIN, March 8. (&) A score or more of Jews who returned to Berlin within the last few weeks In the hope the an tl -seme tic campaign had abat ed, were promptly arrested. It was learned today. A few were released, however, when they promised to leave the country Immediately. The others are held at police headquarters pending a trans fer to the "educational camp." which la a concentration camp a far as the Jews are concerned.

Paclfle Ocean (API The distant roar of a powerful air pjane climbing over the sea horizon will be a welcome sound to the two dozen Inhabitants of this tiny atoll planted In the middle of the earth's greatest ocean. Employed here to keep the Pacific cable In working order they already are looking forward to greeting the flrat great clipper of the Pan-Amert can Airways fleet which Is expected to allKht here In April on the way from Honolulu to Wake Island and thence to Guam. Manila and China. Sheltered Area Between Islands Midway la not the name of an Is land but Is the descriptive term for the location of two Islands, Sand Is land and Eastern Island. The two dots of land were built up by the sands that lodge in the coral atoll surrounding what presumably was once an undersea volcano. The Inhabitants live on Sand Is land, and It Is In the sheltered area between the two Islands that It is proposed the airplanes should alight. With the exception of a few sec tions of the vast south Pacific. Mid way Is as far from a continent In every direction as any spot on the face of the globe. Nearly 4,000 miles of water He be tween it and North America: It Is more than 4.000 miles to the Asiatic mainland and 1.000 miles to Hono lulu. I.Ike Tropical (Jar den Sand Island, the larger of the two specks. Is about one and three-quar ters miles long and a little less wide. On It are the buildings put up In 1903 when the Island waa nothing but a sand waste. All the structures have double windows, so made to keep out sand storms. Now the place Is like a tropical garden, with huge trees that grew from seedlings brought here from Honolulu In tiny pots. There are many difficulties that aviation companies must conquer In laying a mall and passenger air line across the Pacific In this locality. Not the least of these la the weather. There have been winds that blew 100 miles an hour at Midway, and a gentle south breeze has been known : to veer around Into a 50-mile gale from the north In the course of a few hours. SAN FRANCISCO ( AP) Typhoons lie In the path of transpacific filers, but the, thoroughness of preparation which has preceded the proposed In auguration of airplane service be tween Alameda, Cat., and Canton China, should assure against their constituting any considerable hazard, says Mnjor E. H. Bowie, veteran weather man of the United States bureau here. Besides Its own meteorological serv ice, the American-orient air line will have the advantage of highly scien tific weather reporting from Tokyo, Manila and other points tn the far enst, and from San Francisco all of which are broadcast at regular intervals. Planes Can Dodge Typhoons The art of spotting typhoons, so that they can be circumvented. Is based primarily Aipon reports from ships nt sea. While they are the coun terpart of the storm which Is term ed "a hurricane" In this country, "they usually have a narrow diam eter," Major Bowie explains, and for that reason an airplane easily can fly around them. Despite its great distance 3.400 land miles the first leg of the trans pacific route, that from Alameda to Hawaii, probably will not prove the most difficult. Ships along this route are numerous and the area can be well mapped. But from Midway on, particularly between Guam and China, the line of ships Is thin and typhoons de velop quickly. Observatory Sends Reports The area of the most frequent typhoons la In the section covered by the Manila observatory and the In formation It gathers la made avail able to ships and airplane companies by wireless. These other periodic reports go out by International code, consisting chiefly of numerals which are Inter cepted and readily understood by navigators. The San Francisco bureau maps the Pacific from Alaska to the China aea dally, and scores of ships report regularly.

The ln itozrn Inhabitants of IMIriHav. two tlnv Islands In the I'a.lflc, already are looking forward to erecting the seaplane evpected to establish a transpacific trail this spring. The buildings shown here on Sand Island. .Midway, were put up In 11)03 when the place was nothing but a sand waste. But the Inhab itants, whose Job Is tn keep the Pacific cable In working order, brought trees from Honolulu to help es tablish a tropical garden. The mnn shows a proposed transpacific air route, which would have Its terminals In Alameda, ral., anil ( anion, china. The stretch between Midway and China Is considered the most diffi cult so for as typhoons are concerned hill weather reports by wireless are expected to minimize danger. E ASHLAND. March ft (Snl .
