The flgure-4 book scissors with which the Texan has downed a dozen or more victims, is still believed by some to be effective enough to stop the big cowhand, and thero are a few who believe that grip Is the best ever seen here, In contrast to the majority holding that Chick's spin deserves tne honors. This much remains certain: The two have the longest victory records In Medford.

Last Monday they saw Moore unwind Just one lusty kick to finish Pat O'Brien. What other tricks Moore poasosses remain to be seen, for he had no chance to wrostle that evonlng. A new blood-and-thunder meanie makes his bow to Medford tn tho opener, when Ullly Burns, of Atlanta, Georgia, tries to flay Prince Mlhalakls of Arabia.
