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.

all cracking the 300-yard mark at
times. Mrs. George Codding, Mrs.

score of 120, as compared to the
300's being turned In by ladles,
we stop to check up on that "weak

UNION PACIFIC
PECK BY TACKLE
The fan was hard to please Indeed
who didn't enjoy last night's wrest
ling show at the Armory. 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.

tlons that congress will not pass any
thing like the president's recommend
ations. 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
