OLYMPIC STARS RETURN AS MEANIE TAMER Hubka- Craig Encounter in Middle Bracket Promises Only Orthodox Match On Armory Mat Bill Tonight Wrestling fans with sensitive nerves, weak hearts, or ehsti throw ing proclivities when they get e- cited will be better olf if they re main away from the Armory tonight, with two blood-curdling rough matches and only one clean on on the bill. Bob Montgomery'! lire week etrlng o( victories will receive the hydrochloric test in the main event roughhouse agalnet Dude Chick, and Johnny Sooa will attempt to hem mer down the aall-Uke eara of Fat O'Brien In the mad cap opener. The clean match, or at least the only one that promises to be clean, will be the middle event between Oeorge Oralg, the Tulsa Blacksmith and Joe Hubka, big football ace from Nebraska. Ruffian Unawed Montgomery, after a week of train lng on road work, today announced himself ready for Chick. He has re ceived ample warning as to what he may expect from the big ex-cow- puncher, and declared that the lar iat spin that has accounted for an Impressive lbt of mean victim holds no terrors for him. He stated that his own attack will allow Chick no time to get set for anything but de fenslve gestures. Cblek, one of the few men In the world who holds a victory over Alvln Brltt since Brltt became Junior heavyweight champion, arrived yes terday but gave out no Information on what plans he Intends pursuing "If Montgomery wants to get rough I guess we can accommodate him," wsa the most he ssld. The clean Rubka-Cralg battle pro mises to be one of the best matches in several months, with both min having good reputations In their mat work. Craig will depend largely upon his anvil flip, he said, while Hubka will probably use flying tackles and his new somersault bottoms-up sen sors. The bout will be a desperate one for both grapplers, with each shooting for a main event appear ance against Chick next week. The winner of tonight's scramble will probably draw that plum. O'Brien Favorite The ancient Hibernian, O'Brien, made hundreds of frlsnds lsat week In hla gallant stand against the Hubka attack, and It seems a safe assertion that most of the fans will be rooting for him to down Boos In the opener. The matches start at 8:80, with the first two under the Australian round system and the main event under American rules.

SMITH, Mnsn n 2 I; Nello Mllosovltch, 73 year old blind hermit who lives In a mud hut sev eral miles southwest of Ooqullle, was the only man from that city who failed to get a bit In the game with Medtord here yesterday afternoon as Ccqullle scraped out a narrow 38-9 win over the locals. Mllosovltch who has been bed-ridden since the year of the blue snow, did not come to the game, and never beard of baseball. Coquille really didn't need him They landed on Tungate for five hits and eight runs In the first two In. nings, before Coach John Mil J us ran In "Smokey" Spencer at the first of the third as the "surprise pitcher' that bad been promised the fans. Coquille showed only mild surprise when they viewed the appearance of their erstwhile teammate, and paid little attention to his waggling of hla left foot at the start of his Impres sive wina-up. ino rest of the sur prise was saved for the spectators, who saw Smokey'a first offering clouted for a single. They were less surprised when the next - man also singled and were merely awed when the third lad at the platter whanged out a triple. Another single and the hapless chucker waa Jerked and sent to relieve Coss in right field. While In the outer gardens ne misjudged two fly bails In rapid succession and was again relieved, by Leever, In the same Inning. , Erickson took over the mound duties upon the departure of Spen cer, but still tired from hla service against the House of David Friday night, was helpless against the heavy sticking of the coast squad of bomb ers, In that third inning Coquille got 10 runs off 11 bits before Erick son, too, was taken out. Bob Smith, southpaw first baseman went to the hill at the start of the fourth and held Coquille hltless and scoreless for two Innings. In the sixth they got one hit and one run but touched the relief pitcher for four hits and five runs In the sev enth. The eighth Inning saw the end of the holocaust as Smith held them to one hit snd one run, snd let them down without a, hit In the loat frame. - Coquille brought along the Glen dele pitcher. Johnson! but that young man yielded 11 hits, enough to lose an ordinary ball game. Little George Oltzen, faithful cutcher who has shown up at all practice sessions but la still too young to hold down a regular berth, was put In right field to relieve Leever when Leever went to left field, Hess went to first and Flanfgan went to second In the ahakeup when Smith took the mound. Oltzen made a sen. satlonal catch of a line drive to end the scoring In the fifth, and gath, ered two hits and two rune In two trips to bat, and emerged from the baptism one of the few heroes of the game.

FRANK WYK0FF TAKES SCHOOL PRINCIPALSHIP SANTA BARBARA. Calif.. Aug. 31 (AP) Prank Wykoff, veteran sprinter of three Olympic games, hss been sppolnted prlnclpsl of the Csr plnterla grammar school, It wsa an nounced today. Ose Mall Tribune want ads FANDOM AT RANDOM By DICK APPLE-ATE. Billy Btepp, sports writer for the Portland Telegram, baa apparently been aavlng up Invective for several years for the express purpose ot hurling It at the curly head of Max Baer, the Llvermore Lover who pusn ed another set-up around a Port land ring a few nights ago. Btepp warned the Portland public that the fight was going to smell, and ooy how he crowed when It did I To Judge by .his vitriolic comments be fore and Biter the battle (?) one la lead to the suspicion that Baer must have wslked off with Stepp's best girl some time In the past. The Portland writer's com ments are certainly Justified by the showing Baer Is making. Ills "comeback tour" Is a Joke. He Isn't fighting anybody that could knock dust off the Kansas Nebraska atate line, and the things he's putting on are ex hibitions and not fights. But he bills them as real fights and ropes In a few of the yokelry. As titepp points out very nicely, his clowning doesnt go over down In his home state so he snd his brother Buddy have hit for the tall timber of Oregon and Washington, where the suckers are more likely to bite. They only had 8000 In Portland, though,. which raises our opinion of that city somewhat, although not much, , s An Ashland sports writer, persists In the notion that the Medford sth letlo plant, when completed. Is to have night lights flooding the uew turf field. For several montha now he's been referring to the bappy day or rather night, when Medford will have the best In nocturnal equip ment, and points with an accusing finger to the fictitious Medford equipment while trying to shame the Llthla City fathers into doing the same thing, If for no better reason than to save the village pride He must be subsidized by the power trusts. There are no lights going In here, and will be none If Coach Bowerman has any thing to do with It. The sub ject Is getting a trifle tiresome, but Bowerman's reactions are worth noting. The coaoh points out! "What on eartfe do we want with night lights? We play rive games at noma, rroo ably two of them will be on holi days, Armistice and Thanksgiving, leaving three games. Is there any sense in putting In expensive equip ment for three games, when we have good attendance anyway?" If there la any sense in It, this department falls to see where. Kalf the fun of football Is the pageantry. and the color of a big crowd Is spoiled by nights. A game at ntghe dman't seem like s football gsme but like a moving picture of one. A murrain on night football I Eddie Brletz. Associated Press sports writer, reports: "There Isn't a harder loser In baseball than Col. Jake Ruprlert. owner of the Yankees. The other day young Horace Strohe ham of the Giants went to the stsd lum to discuss world series asrsnge mente. He found Col. Ruppert wor rying his head off about a 18 to 1 lead the Yanks had piled up. The Cunnel leaned over to Horace and said: "You know. I'd feel a lot more comfortable If the boys would go out and get two or three more runs. 1 NEW YORK, Aug. $1.
