M The Coq nl lie Loggers, baseball team that several weeks ago handed the Med ford baseball school team an un merciful 14-3 shollacklng, will Invade Med ford Sunday In an attempt to repeat the earlier licking, It was an nounccd today. Medford will be nvich better pre pared to receive them this time, club officials declare. For one thing the locals hope to have a surprise pitcher, a man who was formerly with the Coqullle club but who became dis gruntled and quit and Is now work ing In Medford. That man, whose name was not revealed, has stated that he would like nothing hotter than facing his old teammates, and he will probably be used. He knows the likes and dislikes of eAch bet ter. Coqullle will have much the same advantage over the home team, with Billy Calvert doing the catching for them. Calvert was with the Medford club the first of the year, and knows pretty well what kind of curves and hops will make them miss. Cap Stoddard, who caught for Med ford against Orants Pass, will take the same duties Sunday. He and Tun gate, ace Medford hurler, worked to gether for several years and Stoddard la given much of the credit -for the remarkable pitching turned In by Tungato in the last game. Either Tungato or Erlckson will start for Medford. Bob Smith, southpaw first base man, has been called down from Orator lake to work tonight's game against the House of David team, and will remain over for duty In Sunday's crucial enoounter. Hess will hold down second bono, with Blckert In third and Dick Lewis on short. Plan nagan will play left ;;eld, with Sak ralda In center and Coss In the right garden. The game Sunday la to be called at 3:30. Tonight's game la scheduled for 5:45. The Negroes are said to put on a wildly funny entertainment, with more laughs than home rune, al though they are not to be sneezed at as run earners. Colored mon are not used In big leaguo baseball, and the fund of good players from that roue Is practically untapped, Erlckson will start on the mound for Medford, with Tungnte tendy to relievo him If necessary.

USlli J!, N I FAMILY SQUABBLE LOOMS AS ATHLETES NEAR HOME ABOARD S. S. PRESIDENT ROOS EVELT, EN ROUTE TO NEW YORK, Aug. 38. (AP) The main squad of 330 American Olymplo athletes, of ficials and coaches lias decided to pass up New York's Invitation to atay over a week after Ita arrival tonight for a civic reception. But there's no Indication they will pass up the opening tor a big family scrap some time during the winter. It was pointed out. however, that many athletes are obliged to leave Immediately for their schools or work and as a substitute It waa suggested the possibility of a reception on the dock before the team disbands to morrow. Meantime the outspoken comments of several critics have pointed defi nitely to an Internal battle In the Olympic organization. It's almoBt cer tain the Eleanor Holm jarrett case and the dropping of two Jewish spflnters, Sam Stollor and Marty Ollckman, from the 400-meter reiay team, will be thrashed out among tho officials. Likewise the Intermittent warfare between college lendors and A. A. U. officials for control of the Olympic organization likely will be renewed. Alfred Masters of Stanford, assist ant track and field manager. Indi cated this by some pointed comments on the relations of Olympic officials and athletes. When mistakes In mannRement and handling of athletes are repeated with such persistence as was mani fested on this trip, the time has ar rived to face the facts and reorgan ize." he said. "I have many frienda among the Olympic leaders and do not question their Integrity, but I have frankly told them I question their Judgment on several Important points. "The official anxiety to get the per centage of profits wherever possible is short sighted and only leads to such things as Jesse Owens' abrupt return home. Personally I think Owens did the right thing." Blasts from the boxing team are expected to be directed toward the officiating at the games. Roy Davla, team manager, said: "If boxing officiating had been as efficiently and completely controlled by tho sponsoring nations as In tho case of track and field, the. United States would have had four Olympic boxing champions. It's hard to be lieve anyone affiliated with amateur boxing could be so dumb as some of the decisions Indicated." AS Bob Montgomery, mean wrestler who has won his last five matches In Medford by benefit of kicking. slugging and biting, was yesterday af ternoon spotted as he alighted from bicycle. He was sweaty, and had apparently Just returned from a long Jaunt In the country. Asked about his match In Klam ath Falls he modestly admitted that he had flattened Johnny Boos with out much trouble. The same success waa reported over Pat O'Brien tn Bend. The reporter, under the im pression that Montgomery was not vet aware of the fact that he was to meet the great Dude Chick next week, broached the subject tactfully and told Montgomery who his oppo nent was to be. "I know lt,M quoth Blr Robert. That's why I've been taking all these long bicycle rides!' Which shown that Montgomery has some Inkling of tho Job he haa been given In trying to down the cow- puncher. The only time In Medford that Chick lost to a meanle was on fluke against Ken Hoi lis many months ago, after he already licked Hollls tinco with an airplane spin. He waa prevailed upon to grant ex tra time aglanst his own Judgment, and was thrown when he lost his balance trying to pry Hollls off the ropes. Chick, declared to be the greatest drawing card on the Pacific coast. will arrive here Sunday. His lariat spin, flying shoulder butts, airplane scissors and any number of other holds are expected to attract a big crowd when he unleashes them against Montgomery In the main event Monday. George Craig, the Tulsa Blactuimtth, will be working toward a top spot when he meets Joe Hubka of Ne braska In the middle event. A win over Hubka would probably give the anvil flip artist a crack at Chick or Montgomery the following week. Since a win over Chick Is recognized as a plenty good achievement In any company, and, since Montgomery al ready beat him once and he wants to avenge that defeat. Craig has prom ised to shoot the works in an effort to get by the lithe Hubka. The local wrestling fraternity, fed on raw meat for the past two weeks, will see another knock-down, drag- out scramble to match the main event when Johnny Boos, bow-legged and tough little Nebrnsksn, matches his venom with the leathery Irish man, Pat O'Brien In the opener. Soos has long been known as a dirty grap pier, while the Hibernian has been seen only once. But In that match. sgntnst Hubka, the son of Erin con vinced hundreds of fans that his re actions to rough treatment would be worth coming miles to see. He looks like an ex-fightor and claims ho can throw fists with the best of them. DUCKSTRiWTSEALS TO BOOST By the Associated Press.
