Chick meets the rugged Frankle Peck of Ban Francisco In the one hour main event, for two out of three falls. In a bout here against "Tiger" Taakoff last week, Chick pre sented those three holds and they met with huge favor from the fans. Peck has been working out, devising a defense with which to meet Chick's attack, admitting that his main defense agalnBt the dizzying spin will be to keep out of It, possslble. Feck has let It be known that he doesn't Intend confining his eve ning's activities to defensive gestures, saying "I'll be In there wnizzin around all the time."

In knocking about the world Tsskoff has fought under JIu rules frequently, and bis chances against Shlkuma ara con sldered better than average. In meeting Peck, Sblkuma later admitted that he made a mistake In letting hla opponent carry the first fall too long. Instead of patting the mat and taking his chances with the Jacket. Peck's punishing head locks so bothered Shlkuma that he waa far from peak form In the second fall, and he has stated that tonight n will be out tb batter Taskoff down In short order. "Tuffy" Cleet, fast and belligerent New Yorker, will open the card against Prank Taylor, the Ohio State university graduate who has made such a phenomenal showing In southern California bouts.

There will be no raise in prices. -4- RIFLE CLUB WILL ELECT OFFICERS The annual meeting and election of officers of the Medford branch of the National Rifle club will be held at 7:30 oclock Tuesday evening at the Indoor range In the Armory basement. It was announced today by Sonny Oleason, secretary of the club. Plans have been made to Improve the Indoor range to accommodate a larger membership In the organi sation, Oleason said. Much Interest has been shown, both by old and raw members, In the prospects of holding club shooting matches against similar organisations within driving distance of Medford, as well as postal contests with state and ' national cluba. "It Is well known," Oleason (aid, "that Medford and vicinity has some of the best rifle shots on the Paclfto coast, with a little practice the team from here will he hard to beat. It la the desire of the club to produce a rifle team that Medford can well be proud of.1 Anyone Interests In rifle ehoot lng Is cordially Invited to attend the meet.

"Tuffy" Cleet (above), who claims to be tougher than the lilUe on a side of bacon, who will meet Frank Taylor, Ohio State university flash, on the opening bout of tonight's wrestling card at the Armory. Clret lost his match here last week through not being tough enough, and tonight he haa vowed to take Ills vengeance on Taylor. Advance Indications regarding Taylor are that the tall, handsome gentleman can take care of himself. In losing to ken Hollls last week, Cleet displayed a marked preference for the hammer lock and the toe holds, and It Is expected that It will be with these weapons he tries to subdue Taylor tonight. TIGERS QUINTET FRIDAY, SATURDAY Coach BUI Bowerman of Medrnrrl Is expecting no advantage to accrue to his team Friday and Saturday ntgnt tnrougn tne absence of Coach Fiber, when they meet the Ashland urizuics nere in the first of a two. game home-and-home series. Coach paber ls out with mumps, a situa tion Which waa at first exnected to greatly handicap the fast Llthla city squad. But Lerter Wilson, athletle coach how living In Aahland. was called nto the breach and kept the Grizzlies working together smoothly during Fa bar's absence. Last week he sent them crashing through a stubborn Orants Pass Cavemen defense twice, taking the first game 37-10 and the second 3S-18. Rallblrds at first were sceptical of the Orlrzllea' chances while the regular coach was III, but visions or an Ashland win are again being seen In that city. Paber may return to his squsd be fore the end of the week, but present or absent, the Tigers will be prepared to give the Grizzlies the battle of the year. Stressing faster paasalng and a haider drive on the fast break, Bowerman tonight starts his squsd Into a week of Intense drill. "Aah land has played 11 gam-a already." the Medford coach said today, "and they're going to be our big nest hand icap In getting to the state tourna ment." In commenting on the .tvo vic tories over Klamath ralla. Boverman said that It was a case of fight and Conditioning. His men were able to last down the home stretch at a fast pace, and to this he attributed a great deal of the credit for the wins. But." he aald. "the boys have a few Ideas they're going to have to get rtd of. In tha second quarter of the rirat Klamath game, we took only five shots. I'll put a atop to that. When they get within reasonable distance against Ashland, they're going to start shooting."

The discouraged one was a remark ably well preserved youth of uncer tain age, who claimed that back In his prime he went 85 rounds with John L. Sullivan before the old mas ter could stop him. He was perched aboard a Btool In an all night res taurant here, and looked as though ne had seen better days. "I could knock 20 mugs like this Louis out In one night my self, right now," he continued, vaguely waving his gnarled dukes In the sir. "I fought old John L., yesslr. Now there was a fight er. Old John knocked me out in the 35th. I'm 65 now, but I can still fight a little" eyeing us as though waiting for us to chal- . lenge him to come out In the alley. The battered old specimen was right In saying "there was a fighter." But if our friend was 66, then he fought Sullivan some time before he was 18, because the old master de fended his London championship for the last time In 1899, at Rlchburg. Mass., when he went 75 rounds be fore winning from Jake Kllraln. There waa no mollycoddling of boxers then. They spurned the use of padded gloves, and knocked each other about for as long as 100 rounds before there was a knockout. In those days the fight wasn't over un til somebody got cooled. Often, to avoid the police who frowned on boxing, they would meet on barges moored In New York harbor or the East river, and many were the teeth knocked flying when the two met in the center on a pitching wave. Whether Joe Louis could have stayed with John L. Sullivan Is a matter of no Importance, of course. It Is Interesting to dwell on the problem, apparently, for all the old timers do It, and they all agree that Sullivan would have guzzled Louis In short order, Just as old timers here all agree that the old day foot ball teams would have soundly trounced any of more recent vintage. It will always be so. We picture our selves quavering to our grandchil dren, if any, that this new heavy weight champion can't compare with the Dempsey of our day, and that Joe Louis, In hla prime, would have made that new negro out of Alabama look like an elderly lady trying to kick a setting hen off the nest. The following Is a reprint from the Seattle Times, In reference to Hamilton Lew, the badminton flash from Medford now creating a sen sation in the Washington tournament In Spokane: 1 "Displaying the same well-rounded attack that carried him to three mn- J or badminton titles last year, Ham ilton Law regained his city crown of two years ago by trouncing Rupert Topp, 15-8. 15-10, in the playoff at Queen Anne Hall yesterday. "Mrs. Bert Barkuff captured the women's title for the third consecu tl7e time by winning handily from Zoe Smith, 15-2, 15-5. "Law figured In another champion ship yesterday when he and Eddie Christian paired to win the men's doubles final from Howard Langlie and Gene Oabler, 16-13, 15-19. Mrs. Barkuff Is the lady who came to Medford last summer to partici pate in the exhibition tournament in which Jess Wlllard. world pro champ, was featured. 4 The Mail Tribune bowlers made a clean sweep against the Golden Glow team from Bnlder's Thursday night on the Smoke House alleya, slam ming out a 4-0 win, while the Abbey Motor squad was pasting the Smoke House squad by a 3-1 vote.

In order to keep ahead, you must think and act first. And that can be done by any one who decides to do it, whatever the family income. For instance, some people are smart enough to buy things when prices are down. Right now, of course, you can find sheets and towels and other supplies for the house at lowest-this-year prices. And that isn't all . . . Some time this winter you will find underwear for the children, glovea for yourself, pajamas for the head of the house and many, many more things offered at 'way-down prices. All sorts of special buys will keep bobbing up, if you watch the advertisements in this newspaper and keep thinking ahead, and buying ahead. Where will go get all the money, you ask? . . . Well, it doesn't take MORE money to be better off, this way. Actually it takes LESS. The pennies you save by time ly buying add up to dollars in the end.
