Although, from all Indications,

week, following the near-riot lant
Thursday night at the armory, they
will be given a rest until a week from
the coming Thursday when Promoter
Mack Llllard promises a new assort
ment of grip and grunt men.
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

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

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

Aires, South America. George Wil

ASHLAND CAGERS jlMiflwav. Twn Dots in ParifV rn rW Fliers I
NOMINATE STARS
ASHLAND, March 6. Spl.) 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.

MIDWAY. 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.

Sand Island. .Midway, were put up In 11)03 when the place was nothing but a sand waste. But the Inhab

tablish a tropical garden. The mnn shows a proposed transpacific air route, which would have Its terminals
