FEBRUARY 17, 1936 Frankie Peck Holds Fans' Hope of Pinning Ozark Meanie Tonight AND PETTiGROVE ALSO 10 TANGLE Armory Mat Card Will Be Opened By Match Be tween Christy And Long Bill Promises Action. Medford wrestling fans have toe treat of the season ooming tonight when they line up around the Armory arena. The most Important of three probable thrills Is the possibility of seeing Ken Hollls, Arlcsnsss meanie, taking a beating at the hands of San Francisco's Frankie peck In the main event. ' Pans have prayed for a Hollls loss for several months, but by the use of trickery, underhanded slugging meth ods, biting, kicking and choking, the "Ozark Oaf" has managed to win In every appearance here. Not so In Klamath Palls, however, where Peck thrashed him several weeks ego by knocking him kicking with a right hand smash to the chin, after Hollls bad been In the lead with eye gouging. Peok has promised the same thing If the same circumstances pre sent themselves tonight. The second thrill on tap will come when George "Wildcat" Wilson climoa through the ropes to meet Duke Pet tygrove of New Orleans In the mid dle main-event. Wilson's record since graduating from the University of Washington as an all-time American football star, shows that be Is par ticularly colorful, and particularly oareless with his sonnenoergs ana drop-kloke. If his kicks or flying tsxiklee connect, they are apt to end the battle, and If they mlso, Wilson generally lands m the nickel seats in the background, a badly naitereu young man. Such an attack recoiled on blm In his lsat appearance hen) several years sgo, and he wiped out a ring post with a flying tackle. The opening thrill will undoubted ly be supplied by Ted Christy, smoke breathing Los Angeles terror, whose ring work was ruled so shady that he waa barred from California matches for "30 days. Christy meets the clever Wayne Long In the curtain raiser, un der the Australian system of six 10 mlnute rounds. Long endeared himself to Medford wrestling followers lost week when he carried the battle to Ken Hollls but lost on a fluke when ha lost his balance. Even though Promoter Mack LIUsrd describes the card as one of the best he has ever offered, he has announced that the new low fares will stsy in ef fect for tonight's matches.

Feb. 17. (AP) Thomas 8. Shlbe, president of the Philadelphia Athletics snd one of the last of the group of men war the Amerloan league Into major league baseball In 1001, Is dead at the age f 70. He died last night of a henrt ail ment aggravated by a h'avy cold which he contracted threo wurks ago. Just as he began h annual winter vacation In Florlls. He woo brought tt me Immediately i nd olrt In a luispltal, where nil condition grew stfadlly worse . The question ot who replace the veteran magnate as heal the bascbsll club was a matter of conjecture. In some quartet tt was though hla brother, John D. Shlbe, would take the helm. Others, however, be lieved thst Connie Mack, manager of the Athletlca, might become the new president. Although the ownership of the club stock has been kept a secret, It was reltsbly reported Mack owns controlling Interest. Spends .Week-Knd Here Lieut. Maurice D. Cochran of Camp Indian Creek spent the week-end here, hav ing accompanied his company's CCC basketball team whloh played two basketball gamea In Medford. Complication set In In the south ern Oregon league basketball race when Oranta Pass, surprisingly, thumped the apparently unbeatable Ashland Orlzzltes. While It still leaves the Llthlans far out In front It does give Medford a slim chance of over hauling them. For Instance: Medford has only dropped two games. It they drop no more until they meet Ash- laud, and then take the Llthlans one out of the two, the race will be tied, with each team having lost two en counters. If Medford makes a clean sweep of the series and takes Grants Pass twice more, the Tlgera will be In the vanguard with only two losses while Ashland will then have three. That, we realize, Is a highly problematical "If," Ashland Is far from a discouraged ball team, even If Grants Pass did take them. Coach Faber'a churges feel that they had an off day at Grants Pass, and don't Intend having any more of the kind. But, and here's the nice part of the whole thing, the Tigers realize that Ashland waa having an off day, but It opened their eyea to the fact that the Grizzlies are not Invincible. That'a going to make a big difference. Ash' land tost a real spark plug when Par ker Hess graduated at mid-year, and Medford gained one when Sam Van Dyke returned to the lineup. The two teams are much more evenly matobed than In earlier gamea, with the added advantage to Medford that they are fighting with everything to win and nothing to lose. Most of the above sounds as though Oranta Pass won their game from Ashland chiefly through luok, which Is not the case. The Cavemen have a good team, and In their center, Hol loway, have a dead-eye at the ring whose equal would be hard to find In this part of the state. Medford will be fortunate to get by them unscath ed In the next two games. Yesterday we saw Arnold Bou man out warming up with m baseball In the alley next to the Mall Tribune office, llouman Is tho southpaw pitcher who Joined the Medford Rogues near the end bf the season lost year and made an outstanding record. He dldnt realize how close upon us the baseball season Is, although the day was an Ideal one for an out side game. The Rogues, under new management and with the cream of last year's crop back for duty this year, are planning to revive ' baseball In Medford, a difficult task but not an Impossible one. They plan to start practice as soon as the rainy season Is defi nitely over. ground and an Inordinate demand caused the shortage. Seven sawdust dealera said they could not promise delivery for a week. One dealer was receiving 100 calls a day, he said There appeared to be a ready supply of coal and dry wood but this was no comfort to those fam ilies unlng special sawdust burners. Perhaps the stunta used by Joe Engel, president of the Chattanooga Lookouts, would prove effective. To Eddie Brletz. sporte writer for the Associated Press, we are Indebted for the Information on the following En- gel stunts: Once he signed a girl pitcher and arranged for her to fan Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig another time he traded a ball player for a turkey, he'll hong cages of canartea In his grandstand and If the game Is dull. he'll pep thlnfrs up wiyi pigeon races. His latest stunt Is a pip this year he's going to give away a $12,000 house with a baby grand piano In the drawing room. and a lot with a garage on It and a car In the garage."'

Guiding minds of the sport, better Identified as the national collegiate football rules committee, met here for three days, talked a lot and emerged with smiles and a few change In the rule book. For one thing they adopted "a rec ommendation" which la praotlcaUy a rule by another name, advising ref erees to forget the "slow whistle" ad monition rendered last year. Regarded aa a boon to so-called modern methods In football part leu larly in encouraging the llghtnlng- Uke lateral pass "the alow whistle" enabled a ball carrier to tear away, kick or better atlll try a lateral pass, after hla progress down the field had been temporarily stopped. Elimina tion of the tardy whistle means a play will be called dead a fraction of a second sooner than before. The rules group added punches to the game In two more decisions, one permitting a player on either team to run, pass or klok a blosked punl wmcn han't crossed the Une of scrimmage. In the past the ball was ruled dead at the point of recovery. The announcement suggested that a referee not be too drastic If a play er rushes a punter In a legitimate manner and accidentally brushes him In the melee. The penalty of five yarda and a first down to the punting team still holds good, however. If the offense appears deliberate. Still another change provides that a player Ineligible to receive a pass cannot take a position In advance of the spot the ball Is either caught or knocked down. Teams must be ready to play the second half without no tlflcatlon by officials, or suffer a 15 yard penalty Instead of the old 36- yard loss at the klokoff. Players should wear numerala on both aides of their sweaters, and a regulation sired football will be recommended to schools throughout the country. TAX PAYMENTS SLOW ON CURRENT LEVIES Payment of current taxes continues alow, according to the tax collection department of the aherlffa office. l?rnlce Jennings, chief clerk, expects that the rush to get under the wire before March 13th, the final day, for payments, with Interest rebates and other benefits will start about Mar. 1.

The moat crucial game In the southern Oregon league basketball race will be played at Ashland Friday night, when the Medford Tigers In vade the Llthla City In quest of a win, and a tie In the dash for the honor of representing this section at Salem in March. An Ashland win will put that club so far In front that almost nothing could stop them, but a Medford win would assure the locals a place alongside the league leading Grizzlies, as each team would then have two defeats. Coach Bower man and his Medford charges are confident they can dump the fast breaking Ashland qulst, using a method of attack peculiar to themselves and at the same time checking the swift Ashland offense. Since the last series of two games, when the Llthlans handed the Tigers twe convincing set-backs, the Med ford team has Improved Immensely, while the loss of Parker Hess, star of the Ashland victories, has perceptibly weakened that squad. On Saturday night the locals meet the Roseburg high school here. In a game that has no bearing on the title race but Is expected to be fast and Interesting.
