Boston 17 40 .298 Confession Concealed inrQUgll M B If Lea Wolfe, wiry grappler from Texas, can put on one of the bsat matches of the year against a clean wrestler, as was the case last week at the armory when he defeated Joe TfuhkB. he should be able to fur nish plenty of fireworks when pitted against Sailor Franz, former cham pion wrestler of the navy and one of the roughest, meanest Individuals ' ln the game. Promoter mck L,niara announced today that Wolfe will tangle with the sailor man in the main event of thia week'a card at the Armory. What science can do against roughness will be the question that Wolfe and Franz will thresh out, and there should be action galore In the threshing. Last time Franz was seen hero he gave Bobby Meyers ao much maltreatment that the latter was forced to cancel all matches for several woeks to recuperate from a badly battered car. Al Stecher. clever Canadian grap pler, and former middleweight champion of Canada, will tangle in the 46-minute semi-final with Her man Olson, Bwedlsh entrant ln the recent International mat tourna ment at Los Angulea. Stecher impressed fans favorably here last week when he appeared for the first time, defcntlng Babe Bmollnskl in a fisticuff fracas. The veteran Canadian, who claims 15 years of experience ln tho profes sional ring, has mastered many sci entific holds, but Is also not afraid to employ unorthodox matwork when necessary, as will probably be the case ln his tussle with the Regres sive Swede. Johnny Boos, Indiana grappler. la eoheduled to meet Babe Bmollnskl In the 30-mlnute opener. This la another bout with potential explo sives. The main event was arranged after considerable work on the part of the promoter, as Franas had been exiled from the local arena follow ing hts rough match with Meyers, Pete Belcaatro was unavailable as an opponent for Wolfe, as the Ital ian waft contracted ln Portland and the promoter aald that Hubka did not want to meet the supple south erner In a finish match. LOCAL GOLFERS DEFEAT G. Oolfers of Rogue Valley club play ed host yesterday to 27 mashle nl Itin era from Orants Pass In an Inter city tournament that ended with the ecore standing Medrord, 01, Grants Pass so points. It was a- friendly tourney, held prlmnrlly to promote a friendly relationship between the two clubs, but was the second ln a row that came out ln favor of the local players. Luncheon was served at the club house with Jimmy Valentine doing the honors, and wns a big factor In what the Grants Pass players term ed an enjoyable day. A nine-ball rlghteenaome during the afternoon with every pair for Itself was one of the features. Scotch foursome tournlea have been discontinued until fall. Pro Hueston announced today, the one for the month of June having ended with Mrs. jr. a. Bunch and Bud Sim mons ln possession of the trophy do nated by E. Raymond Driver. Lat time Sailor Frnnz, the tattooed terror (above)) appeared here he put his wrestling opponent on the shelf for nevenil months via unorthodox grappling, but he will have science and speed to contend with when he meets Le Wolfe, sinewy Texan, In the main event of next Thursday's card at the Armory. PJTTS PERFORMS WELL IN BASEBALL DEBUT IS ALBANY, N. T.. June 34. (AP) Seasoned baseball crltlca today pre dicted a bright future for Alabama Pitta ln the sport he played behind Sing Stng prison walls. The opinion waa almost unani mous that the smiling southerner, performing like a veteran both at bat and In centerfleld, demonstrated 'n no uncertain terms yesterday ln hla organised baseball debut that he haa the makings of a first class minor, If not major league, player. Appearing In the lineup of the Albany International league club for the firs, time since he was ruled eligible, Alabama ln a doubleheader with Syracuse banged out two sin gle tn eight times at hat, drove In a run, scored another himself and accounted for five pu touts. The team, however, lost both games, 8 to 8. and 3 to 3. "He played marveloxis ball," aald General Manager Johnny Evers. who with Warden Lewis E. Lawes waa re sponsible for giving tho broad-shouldered Pitta a chance In the sport. "With a tittle more training, aud polishing up here and there. I firmly believe the boy will go to the top."

The short left-field fence at Ash land again proved the nemesis of ?he Medford Rogues yesterday, when Swanson, playing for the Llthlans, whanged one over the fence In the first with the bases full, to give Ashland a 0-1 lead before the Inning was over, the Llthlans going on from that vantage point to dynamite out a 20-3 win, knocking three Rogue pitchers out of the box ln the process. Prltchett was removed from the mound early ln the game. In an ef fort to hal the avalanche of hits, and Manager Hoffard took over the duties, with no better luck. Arnle was later called In from second base, and did little better. Hoffard announced today that he will ask the league president, A. C. Nlnlnger, to suspend both Calvert, Medford catcher and outfielder, and "Chief" McLean, Ashland hurler, 'for flagrant violation of the league rules." Hoffard will charge that a few minutes before the game was called, McLean offered Calvert $3.50 to catch for the Ashland club, en offer which Calvert accepted. Rule 1 of the league laws issued by Nlnlnger when Hoffard attempted to get Mc Lean to pitch for Medford early in the season, reads as follows: "No playing member of any one Southern Oregon League base ball team may voluntarily leave the team he was a member of in the opening Southern Oregon League game, played May 5, 1936. or any future game, to play for any other Southern Oregon League team except in the fol lowing exceptions: 1. He have a written outright release, signed by the manager of the team he played with ln the first Southern Oregon League game. 2. He take up residence in another southern Oregon league city, after which he must wait seven (7) days be fore playing with the new team; residence being construed as meaning his permanent living quarters." Hoffard Btated today that he had not given Calvert a release, and did not intend doing so. He will bench Calvert for an Indefinite period for insubordination, he said today. The Medford club will not ask for a forfeiture of yesterday's game, al though they say they are clearly en titled to do so under the penalty rules issued by Nlnlnger, the specific clause being: "Sec. 2, Penalties; to the team he (the offending player) plays with: It will be sufficient grounds for a protest by any South ern Oregon league team, with the ultimate forfeiture of the game to the tram's opponent by the score of 90." The Rogues will meet the Orants Pass Merchants at the "climate city" next Sunday. Summary: (Ashland) Hulen. 2b . Lewis, ss Hurdle, cf .... American.

He may start against Medford next week, however Attorney John F. Dore's statement that Waley will be sur oned from McNeil Island to make a full con fession exonerating his 19-year old wife presaged the first courtroom battle ln the kidnap trial. Dore, who was appointed to rep resent Mrs. Waley after Waley plead ed guilty and was sentenced for the kidnaping, was here today to hear Judge Cushman set Mrs. Waley's trial date. Confession Concealed Waley already has confessed to department of justice agents who ar rested him and hts wife ln Salt Lake City for passing part of the $200, 000 ransom money, but the "G-men' are determined to conceal his ad missions, apparently until after Wil liam Dalnard, alias Mahan. the thtrd persons Indicted in the kidnap plot, Is caught. It was forecast today that che defense will oppose the government's efforts to get an Immediate trial, on the ground that Mrs. Waley la too; nervous following her husband's' guilty plea and sentence. I Dore said he would have his first , interview with her today. "As an attorney appointed by the court, I cannot and will not accept any fee. directly or indirectly, for my services." Dore said. "This girl Is friendless and penniless but she la entitled to the best defense that can be prepared for her. and that Is exactly what she will receive. Fortunate In Judge bne is fortunate that her case will come before Judge Cushman, who Is the greatest master of evi dence on the bench today." Mrs. Waley made three attempts to plead guilty and receive Immediate sentence, but was forestalled by Judge Cushman because of her hus band's desperate plea that she knew nothing about the kldnnplng until two days after George was "snatch ed." and because of her counsel's contention that she is not guilty to plotting the case and could not be convicted If sent to trial. She wept when the court procedure prevented her guilty plea. It was through her spending spree with ransom money that she and Waley were apprehended. Oregon UVather.
