Belcastro Meets Strong Man in Main Event at Armory Tonight SAVICH PITTED IN HALF OF AND ESTE5 Opener Between Bad Boy Soos and Meanie Marine Also Interests Fans Opening Gong at 9 P. M. With his chin cleanshaven and his pilnd made up for royal farewell party, Irynamlte Pete Belcastro ar rived yesterday from a hunting and training expedition into the weeo. wilderness, and announced - thai, he thinks his match tonight at the Arm ory with Rocky Brooks, famous Cona- dlan strongman. Is going to be a push-over. In order to allow the tans who are working in the fruit to at tend the three-ply oard, Promoter LI Hard has postponed the starting gong until S o'clock. Proudly displaying a alzeAble buck, his second of the current season, Bel castro said that his latest sojourn In to the hills of northern California has netted him a few additional pounds and that he is now In even better nape than when he successfully de fended his Pacific coast title last week against Toots Estes. There's nothing like roughing It and hill climbing to get the spark back, ac cording to the fiery Italian. "I'll admit that Brooks Is pretty rtrona." Pete said, "but what good will that do if he can't get hold of pie?" Judging from that statement, Pete plans figuratively to put on his ballet slippers tonight and kick the tattoed pictures off the chunky northerner. As long as Belcastro la able to con nect with his drop-kicks, he will stand a fine chance of pinning the Strongman, but If he gets mixed up with some of the Canadian's Iron banding, piano lifting tactics, all that will probably be left of Pete will be fcta Pacific coast Junior heavyweight championship, which Is not at stake. Speed will be the feature of the first half of the double main ovent, and If Danny Savlch of Salt Lake City trlea a few of his racing dives out of the ring, this bout promises ss much action as the other. Savlch will be pitted against Toots Elites, flsah from Honolulu. Efttes, still simmering from his de feat last week by Belcastro, says he Is through with lolly-pop wrestling, and Is golrw to show the boys how it's dona wlirm a Hawaiian works up a temper. That promise does not neccs nnrlly mean unorthodox muscle man gling, but probably Is a forecajt for moro of the spectacular maneuvers that have given Estes a top notch here in popularity. Johnny Soos, smear and sneor man from Indiana, will take crack at Bob Kennaaton, ex-champton of the marines, In the 20-mlnute opening bout. Ray Friable, local flreladdle, will be referee. OFFERED AT TRAPS Practice for the upland bird shoot ing season will commence at the grounds of the Medford Gun club at 10:30 a. m. Sunday.

FANDOM AT RANDOM By Dick Applegate Deer season is almost upon us. In contemplating that fact, it is a sick ening reality to know that It Is al most certain that at least one in southern Oregon will be killed for a deer. It's hard to iinderstand why men will shoot into brush wherein they believe a deer to be lurking, In vio lation of every law of hunting and human decency. Yet it's a fact that men who in the city may be as con siderate as the next, let a 30.30 slug tear Into another man and never bother to think of the appalling con sequences until it is too late. When the army of shooters leaves the city Saturday, the names on the guns they carry will sound like those stacked outside a league of nations meeting. The Springfield and the Krag will represent the United States, the Lee-Enfield the British Isles, the Mauser, Luger, Mannlloher and oth ers the Germane the Lebel the French. Why this preference for army rifles? Does an army rifle present so much more in speed, shocking power and accuracy over the stock sport rifles In this country? It's hardly that. An old army rifle, 1 a new army rifle, can be picked up for a song. With a bit of whit tling on the stocks, shortening of the barrel, and removal of a few unnec essary gadgets, the army gun can be cut down Into a very neat sporting rifle. While the 8mm. Lebel, the 30.30 Springfield, and others may bs a bit too heavy for the Columbia blacktall we have here, they are supreme for muletall and other big game. The cost of firl g them Is greater than the smaller gun, but It Is a peculiar hunter indeed who fires a box of shells in a year. The football squad at the high school scrimmaged last night. And for this early in the year, it was a good scrimmage. No theatrics, no grandstanding, but good, honest work, with each man doing his best to pro duce. Hopes of finding another end to pair with Kunzmnn, who seems as sured a first string berth, went up af ter looking at the efforts of Eldon Grow, a nicely built lad from Eagle Point, orow is only a sophomore, with three years more competition, and the way he was taking men out of the play, getting Into other plays himself, and snagging passes gives promise of future greatness. That wasn't the only pleasant sur prise, however, Ployd Baker, a mem ber of last year's Tiger Cub basket ball squad, turned out for a Job at guard. And if he works as well as he did lent night, he's going to make several of the bigger men look to their laurels. And the tackle situa tion Is looking up. By some sort of abracadabra. Coach Bowerman has produced two large young men from out the ether, who. when they learn the ropes, should be valuable. They are Carr and Blair. Both are new to football. I.nntcy "Stretch" Ettlnger, substi tute center last year, has found him self at tackle, and Is one of the hard est men in the line to move. His lit tle brother. Bob, playing at blocking quarter last night was also doing a nice Joh. His scythe Itke blocks in the field wre mowing down opposing hacks In mid-season form. Ettlnger went Into the quarter post when Al Zermer, big back from the northern part of the state, was having some trouble at the post. Bowerman may give JJermer chance at the tackle post. Unless our guess Is far wrong, he will be one of 50 pt.90 JT.1.75 MA4 Mf. CO, KAMA CITY, MO- the most valuable men on the squad at that post. Powerfully built, with back and legs like a bull, Zermer Is the Ideal type of man to take and give punishment all afternoon, and clear- wagon tracks through the line for the fast stepping backs. And that Is about what's going to be needed this year. A weak line and a promis ing backfleld brings back the adage, a good line can carry a poor back- field, but no backfleld on earth, not even the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame, can carry s bad line. Bob Smith, big southpaw half, has apparently been receiving Instruc tions from Bowerman, himself a run ner of note, on how to pick up and lay down those ample feet. 81ow last year. Smith is a swift and beautiful runner this year, and his pivoting has improved 100 percent. The whole backfleld pivots nicely, Jim Bayliss, Bob Ettlnger, Kowso Maruyama. Rex Glllnsky, Ray Lewis and Leo Sakralda all having come forward rapidly since first we saw them two weeks ago. HOW THEY STANLV By the Assorlated Press Coast W. L. Pet.

To make room for the grandstand, the bar has been moved to one side, and rebuilt. It Is the Intention to hare two leagues In the city this year, a class A and a class B, so that the older hands will not have a large advan tage over the beginners. This Is ex pected to make the games closer, and consequently more interesting. Added prices this year will make the city league more exciting. Al Plche has offered a prize of $25 for the first perfect score of the year, and $5 for high score In the elty league each month. Both will be merchandise prizes, and it has been announced that there will be addi tional prizes put on the list before long.

NOTHING CAN HALT COBS' PROCE SAYS BILL T By Charles D tinkler - Associated Press Sports Writer CHICAGO? Sept. 19. (AP) Bill Terry, manager of the vanquished Giants, favors the Cubs to conquer the Cardinals in the final ' furious stretch drive for the National league championship. He can see nothing but the Cubs playing the Detroit Tigers In the world series. The leader of the Giants made this prediction today as his players faced the Cubs In the final and fourth game of a series, in which they have been beaten three straight games. Asked his choice between the Cubs and Cardinals, Terry replied: "Why, the Cubs they wsy they sre going. They ere playing way over their heads. They sre 'hot right now Just like the Cardinals were last year. Everything they tr,ns out In their favor. It's Just o'.-f, of those things nobody can explain." The Cubs walloped the Giants In ten of their last eleven games, and yesterday's brutal 15-3 lacing, the worst of the season, virtually knocked the Giants right out of the National league championship picture. The Cubs having tied the National league's best winning streak In the last 11 years, Brooklyn's 10 in a row in 1934, were supremely confident of walloping the Giants again today and then tearing after Pittsburgh in the final two games of the year at Wrlg ley field, Saturday and Sunday. Charles Leo "Gabby Hartnett, 34 year old sparkplug of the Cubs' de fense figures that If the Cubs can divide St. Louis with a lead of one and one-half games and then beat the Cardinals Just once. It will be all over for the gas house gang. "Those guys are worried, now," Hartnett yelled. "They're wondering If we are ever going to lose a game. I'll bet the Cardinals go daffy every time they see another victory posted for the Cubs." PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 19.
