Knock - down, drag - out muscle mangling to speedy, scientific wrestl ing Is scheduled for the Armory arena tonight in a triple-deck smear and aneer program headlining what prom ises to be a super-struggle between Masked Marvel, the mysterious meanle, and Tony Catallno of Italy. Expecting the roughest fracas he -has yet been responsible for, Pro .omter Lillard has secured extra po lice protection for the two main event contestant In case the anticipated record-breaking crowd decides to take matters into Its own hand. A relief referee to pinch hit for Fireman Ray Frlsble has also been secured In case Prlsble la unable to take the mal treatment that he la sure to receive when the two ultra-meanles get to gether. Marvel Favored. Some fana believe the Masked Mar Tel will whip the roughneck Italian easily, and others contend that when pitted against a man Just as unscru pulous aa himself. Catallno will dish out so much unorthodox matwork ' that he will hav the bout In ttie ; bag. Masked Marvel won In riot- I ous match against the Italian recent ly at Klamath Falls, but both grap plera all but clawed each other Into unconsciousness. ' The big Italian bully, who apee lallzea In a foolproof Japanese chin lock, U in a frensiy over his Klamath Falls defeat, and avows that when he meeta the hooded one tonight It will be a bout of & different out come. Others Have Science, In contrast to the main event tus sle; the fana will probably see a fast aesslon of clean grappling when Johnnie McWood, formor football ace from U. O. li. A., meet Casey Kazan JUn, ex-footballer from Stanford, In the 45-mInute aemi-flnal. McWood lost hts Initial bout here last week when he was unable to cope with Catallno'a rough stuff, but he figures that with a clean opponent such aa the Rtanfordlte, he will be afble to put on an exhibition of sci ence that should be hard for any grnppler to withstand. Kassnjfan comes to Medford for the first time heralded as one of the fastest heavyweight In the north west, and In a long aeries of tuwlea In Portland he has never lifted a hand egalnet an opponent In foul play. The promoter announced today that some or the new talent that Is ex pected to be unearthed In tonight's card may be used In a bout in the near future against Les Wolf, aclen tlflc matman who may return to Medford soon. TO SEEK REVENGE Smarting under a beating adminis tered last week by the Medford Rogues, the Klamath Rex Sox bring their ruffled fcellne to thla city Sun day, with the avowed Intention of Knocking the Rogues out of the lot. Thla they managed to do onoe before, the scorn now being even between the two. with one win each. In last week'a encounter. "Hoosier" Hoffard, Medford'a player-managor, moved himself in from the outfield and took over the mound duties, to win the game. He thinks that a re turn encashment is ipt to finish his trusty rlRht wing, but will enter the frsy if neceaaary. Medford ha been an In and out team all season, mainly due to the fact that they haw had no reliable pitcher. That they have one of 'he finest Infields In the league is a fact that the other tennis are the first to admit. Sunday'a return game is ex citing conaldcnible Interest, no only In Medford. but alo In Klamath Kails, it has been atmed that sev eral carloads of fans will be here from .the Pelican city. With a possibility that Ous Arnie may leave soon to join the Yreka nine for lack of a Job in Medford, Hoffurd 1 preparing for that emergency by playing Billy Calvert in the infield, and hu replaced that young man behind th bat with Bouchard, a new arrival from Bremerton, where he pled in the Timber league. Bou chard played his first game for trie Rogues last week against the Red Sov and showed a good throwing arm, whipping them to second with plenty of speed to spare.

After scanning the grounds and equipment at the Medford Oun club with experienced and critical eyes, they expressed complete satisfaction and congratulated T. E. Daniels, pres ident of the local club, and hts asso ciates for their work In having the field In perfect condition. It la seldom that the public has the opportunity to see so many top shooters in one meet. It was pointed out by club officials who apnln em phasized that spectators arc welcome, there being no admission charge. Among the new arrivals were Ern est Caraten of Cam i no. Cal., and his young son. Brneet, Jr., who competed in the Junior skeeu event. The Car- stens came with Homer P. Brown, president of the Diamond Springs Lime company of Diamond Springs, Cal., and Mr. Brown came to com pete in the tournament through the urgent persuasion of Mavor Oeorge W. Porter, vice-president of the Med ford Oun club. Mayor Porter met Mr. Brown for the first time at a trap meet In Reno, Nev., last year and since then had kept alter his new friend until Mr. Brown agreed to come to the Medford tournament.

Ore., June 13 (API The Pendleton baseball team last night defeated the New Yoik Clowns, colored nine. 4 too. largely by mean or a barrage of home rims m the third inning. The heavyweight champlouhtp bout tonight between Baer and Braddock, plated for 15 rounds or les, will start at 8 p. m. (P. S. T.) and will be broadrajit over NBC hookup. By ALAN COLLI) Associated Press sports Kdltor NEW YORK. June 13. (AP) James J. (Long Shot) Braddock will get the opportunity tonight to spring one of the greatest fistic upsets of all time when he battles the clouting Call fornlan, Max Baer, for the heavy weight championship of the world. The weather outlook was not much brighter, however, than the prospects for the gallant but lightly regarded challenger from New Jersey. Odds 5 to 1 Braddock was on the short end of S-to-1 odds that seemed certain to lengthen by the time the clans gather around the ringside and the weather man predicted "occasional showers" during the day. The title card will be postponed until Friday night If there is too much rain. At least nine of every ten custom er willing to pay from 93 to 920 for eyewitness privileges in Madison Square Garden's sprawling open-air arena on Long Island planned to cheer the underdog enthusiastically regardless of the prospect that they will see him soundly whipped. They may rattle around the bowl bit, thtse fans, for It seemed un likely there would be more than 35.- 000 spectators In an arena built to handle more than twice that number but they promised to give the chal lenger all the vocal encouragement possible. See Early Kayo Apparently nine out of every ten fight experts figure Braddock to have no more than an outside chance of escaping an early knockout. All Jiave conceded Jimmy's Improve ment, hts courage under fire and the intensity of hts preparation to achieve the fistic goal of a lifetime. Critics and fans alike have had their imagination captured by Braddock 's uphill battle to achieve the heavy weight heights. Perhaps" It would be a miracle for Braddock to win, but its been done by long-shots in every sport. Even Man o' War was beaten once. Sam Parks, a BO-to-1 shot, came through to capture the national open golf crown only last week. ! Corhctt IHd It I John L. Sullivan was a 4-to-1 fa vorite the day he lost the heavy weight championship to James J. Corbett. The fight world was shock ed when Jack Dempsey, a 3-to-l choice, was beaten for the first time by Qene Tunney. Bear's next championship fight. If he wins, will be under the auspices of the Twentieth Century Sporting club, the Garden's metropolitan rival. mo EDUCATION BILL AMES, Iowa.

If he can stand on his feet lone enough, he says he Is going to take away at least one trophy and if he can t get Into the competition him- helf he Is counting upon the large contingent of pigeon breakers he brought with him from California to annex enough prizes to warm the hearts of their associates back in the sunshine state who could not get away for the meet. The Grand Old Man of trapshooting is O. N. Ford of Del Monte, Cal. Well advanced In years, he assured his numerous fri?nd among the trap artists that his eyes are still keen and his trigger touch Is still sensi tive, but hit, leB recently went back on him and he now finds it difficult to stand for sustained periods, Mr. Ford has competed in trap meets In evory state In the union and In all parts of Canada. He has held all sorts of championships, and his home la laden with more than 600 trophies. He wears a beauty a watch chain of gold nuggets with a jeweled medal at the end that shows he has held the national title. He recalls that he competed In Medford 25 years ago and for five years man aged the Portland Gun club. Mr. Ford said he has been shooting for 64 years, and that brought up the question of his age. "I never tell my age." he said. "You may say, however, that 54 years ago I carried the news, on horseback, too. of the death of President Garfield. I was first with the news all through Lynn county, Iowa. Maybe you can figure out my age by that. Anyhow, the boys call me the old man." "The Grand Old Man," Mr. Ford was corrected by one ol the boys. NEW YORK, June 13.
