HO PPM ANN 0'IVIAHONEY LOSES FANDOM AT RANDOM By DICK Al'l'l KOATR Ken Hollls. the flre-eatlng wrest ler from Oklahoma, who baa gone down to defeat In a Med ford ring only once, when he lost to Ftankte Peck, Issued a challenge last night to the winner of the main event between Dude Chick and Mike Cad dock of Honolulu. After winning the match, Ohlck stated that he hoped he would get to meet Hollls, In the Uedford ring, next week. Chick beat Hollls with his lariat spin several weeks sgo, and ' then allowed the Arkansas bully extra time In which to recover, with the consequent result - that he lest the match. He lost It on a fluke, but he lost, none the less. Most Medford fans don't care much about seeing Hollls again un less It be against an opponent who win practically kill him, but with Chick In the frame of mind he's now in, the bout between those two ahould be a rare dish. Of course we wouldn't know too much about this, not being much of a golfer, but of late we've heard a great deal about the golfing abil ity or Medford ladles. Once we clouted a fine drive, which sailed long and true for nearly 300 yarda. Once, we said. The exhlliratlon pro duced by that magnificent wallop Inclined us to think that we were one of the greatest golfers of all time. If we could Just have time to polish up our game a little. Investigation now shows that a 200-yard drive Is a mere nothing to Mrs. D. R. Wood, who hits in thst r a n g s moat of tha sum mer, when the fairways are In any sort of con dition. Mrs. Tom Puson Is another long hitter, with Mrs. P. O. Bunch, Mrs. Alotha Vaw- ter, Mrs. Wm. S. Thurlow and others all cracking the 300-yard mark at times. Mrs. George Codding, Mrs. Mack LUlard, Mrs. Wsve Wilcox and Mra. Leland Clark are all good golf- era. When we think of our bowling score of 120, as compared to the 300's being turned In by ladles, we stop to check up on that "weak er sex" stuff. Snooping around In places where we maybe shouldn't have been re veals the following odds and ends: Coach BUI Bowerman of Medford Is placing high hopes In Sam Van Dyke, basketball star, to flit the vacated shoes of Bob Smith, crash ing halfback who graduated at mid year, when football rolls around again. . , . Dude Chick, wrestler, Is a boon companion of Gene Autry, movie actor and singer who was starred In "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" and wrote the song of that name as well t "Stiver Haired Daddy of Mine." . . . Chick also did work In that picture. Ohlck himself U a singer he and Autrey are plan ning a fishing trip Into this country thla summer. . , . The "Barnpslnt era." that group of high school bas ketball players who were bounced from the southern Oregon confer ence a few years ago for exterior decorating of an Ashland barn, still hold annual meetings, not because they are proud of their achievement then, but because they feel they got a raw deal. They mn last night, on their anniversary. Frnnkle Peck was so disgusted with his own flying-tackle ability last night that he resolved so re port to Duck field Coach Ed Klrtley of the high school and learn to tackle the way It should be done.

In. the main event Dude Chick eliminated Mike Caddock of Honolulu In 33 min utes sfter Caddock had tried to get tough with the big cowhand. Prankle Peck came within an ace of beating ueorge Wilson st Bis own game of Sonnenberglng In the middle event, and Referee Ray Friable stood toe to toe and slugged with Ted Christy sf ter Christy had refused to quit foul ing in tha opener. Caddock, who ahowed a great deal of wrestling and who Is extremely faat for a man of his size, was doing very nicely In straight wrestling with Chick until he made the error of pulling Chlck'a hair and slugging him. Chick hlmslf turned dirty for the first time In Medford, ending the fight by picking Caddock off the ropes and spinning him so fast that his own whirling feet tore a big chunk out of the ring canvas. After spinning tha Honolulu pride silly, Chick dumped him with a body slam and followed with a body press. Cad dock, like so many of his predecea sors, was unable to return for the next fall. In the middle main event Prankle Peck, billed from Medford, waa giving ueorge ("wildest") Wilson a few les sons In wlldcattlng. taking the first fall In the third round after the first two had been no-fall affairs. In the early part of the struggle Wilson be came Irked at Peck's standing arm bars, and proceeded to break them by slugging, a maneuver that sur prised Peck no less than It did the audience. Peck took his revenge by Inserting his thumbs to the first Joint under Wilson's esrs, a type of warfare- which the ex-Waahlngton football atar cared for not one whit. Peck'a fall came as the result of fly ing mares and a body slam, Peck be ing extremely careful to stay out of the way of Wilson's Sonnenbergs. In the fourth round Peck tried to tske Wilson by surprise, throwing him Into tha ropes and Sonnenberglng him aa be rebounded. The first ma neuver had the proper effect, but after two more, Wilson Bonnenberged back, both men going sprawling. Peck was atunned and Wilson recov ered first, knocking Peck clear out of the ring with a wild rush. Peck was unable to return. One of the most exciting flurries of the evening came In the opening bout between Christy and Stanley Rogers, the larruping Lithuanian. The first round ended with no fall as the bell saved Rogers from a body press sfter an upporcut had floored him. During this round and the next, which Rogers won, Referee Prlsble warned Chrlaty repeatedly agalnat dirty tactics. Rogers took the fall with an arm bar flying mare, using the ropea to get up momentum. n the third round Christy took the fall In two and a half minutes with a body press after battering his much older opponent 'down. It was during thla foil that Christy kicked Rogers amidships after offering to shake hands and fight clean. In the next fall Christy kicked Rogers In the groin and started choking him; Prlsbft pulled him sway by tha hair, and Christy swung on Prlsble snd knocked hlra down. Ths firemen lesped to his feet snd the two slugged viciously all around the ring for aeveral minuses, with Rogers taking a lick at Christy every, time he went by. Prlsble raised Rog ers' hand In token of victory, and Christy again awung on him, with Rogers flattening the ohstrproua Los Angeles one with a haymaker to the Jowls, ending the melee.

Within two weeks it will be evident that congress will have to follow his general outline. In the end It will probably give him about 70 percent of what he la asking. Note No one noticed It at the time, but the White House tax conference was the longest Mr. Roosevelt has ever held. It lasted four hours. Last year It took him only two and a half hours to reach a similar misunderstanding about soaking the rich. The explain atlon Is that, at this conference, the conferees talked as much politics as they did taxes, although none of the announcements said anything about that. The state department Is never but prised. It always knows everything in advance and yawns when It hap pens. However, the eyes of the seers popped out as far as yours did when Premier Okada returned from the dead In Tokyo. The truth la they know less about what la happening in Japan than In any other country in the world. Japan keeps her state secrets better than all others. The news from there Is nearly always handmade lor diplo matic purposes. As our statesmen perceive It, the Japanese flurry Is of extreme Import ance to ua and all the world. The government and the army In Japan are one on the general Idea of seizing Asia. They disagree vio lently about how fast It shodld be done. Japanese diplomats want to do It peaceably by buying up the Chinese leaders. The moderates In the army want to do tt by force, but cautiously.' A radical element believes haste la essential. This belief is bas ed on the conviction that Japan is going to have to fight Russia before her' control of Asia la complete. The reason: Russia Is suplylng the Chinese Red armies with arms and Inspiring resistance to Japanese. Thus a real issue underlying the Japanese upheaval la war with Rus sia. Whatever eventually happens In Japan will mean the hastening or de laying of that Inevitable event. It was overlooked at the time, but Chief of Staff Craig's published re port on the Hagood affair contained a revealing statement. He said that Oeneral Hagood's quip about "WPA stage money" appeared in the Wash ington Evening Star, February 10, and that he wrote Hagood February 10, asking how come. In other words, for nine days Hagood's wisecrack was apparently acceptable to Craig. It suddenly became unacceptable on Febraury 19. Another thing not In the report, but nevertheless true, Is that Craig and Hagood have been personal friends for 20 years. Craig always personally regarded Hagood aa a bril liant general whose occasional pranks HERE'S ALEX SITTING AT HOME after the day's work at his garago is over, coaxing some har mony out of the old guitar.
