PLAYS SOLDIERS
TUESDAY AT 3:30
Medford's Southern Oregon league
ball team will play Its first battle
next Tuesday afternoon at the coun
ty fairgrounds against the 30th In
fantry, United States army team from
the Presidio. The game v.lll be call
ed at 3:30 sharp and will be free to
the public.
The game will be an exhibition
affair, with the locals probably using
most of their entire squad. The en
counter was scheduled as part of the
welcome to be extended the huge
convoy of fighting men who will
stop hare Tuesday night on their
way to Fort Lewis for maneuvers
of the third division.
With Mike Balkovlck, assistant
football coach at Willamette uni
versity, expected In Medford Sunday
to take over the management of the
team and coaching of the summer
baseball school sponsored by the
Medford Athletic association, the lo
cals will go through a stiff workout
8inday morning at 10 o'clock at
the high school field. On the baals
of that practice wlU probably be
chosen the starting lineup Tuesday,
according to Austin Frazler, associ
ation secretary.
Rain and wet field has hampered
dally workouts of the local club all
week, with very little intensive prac
tice being done since last Sunday.
A record turnout Is expected day
after tomorrow to answer Manager
Balkovlcks opening practice call.
Although the Medford pitch In?
staff Is still In the formative stag.
with Ray Erickson the lone hurlot
of any great experience turning out.
It Is expected that sufficient strength
on the mound will be uncovered be
fore the battle Tuesday. Whether
Erickson, a sweet righthander, can
go tho route so early In tho season
is problematical. Alvin Merritt, who
saw action with the Medford Amer
ican Legion team several years ago.
will probably bo ready to work a few
frames, as will Ray Tun gate, mem
ber of last year's club, but who
hasn't turned out for practice yet.
All posts on the team are wide
open, and It will be upon perform
ances from now until the league
opener on May 3 that will determine
the regulars. Those looking excep
tionally well, however, are Ray and
Dick Lewis. Wnlly Rickcrt. Donovan
Dick Snkralda and Larry Schade
Frazler announced yesterday that
Sammy Van Dyke, a first baseman
of no mean ability, would report for
practire Sunday.
"Pop" Baer Hopes
Max Will Return
And Settle Down
SAN KRANCISC, April 16. &)
"Pop" (Jacob) Baer, father of Max
Baer, former heavyweight Cham
plon who waa defeated by Tommy
Fnrr, English champion in London
yesterday, stild today that Max
'"should come home and settle
down."
"Max should come home and
forget the Unlit game," said the
cider Baer. "He's either washed
up and wholly lacking In 'pep'
or his hands have gone bark on
him. We want him to settle
down. Take up some other work.
I hope he's through with fights
as he says he Is; that he'll strat
some ting else wtlo he's mentally

FARR VICTORY OVER BAER
EXCITES BRITISH FAflDOM
LONDON, April 18. (AP) The British Isles were pretty excited to
day about Tommy Farr, the 23-year-o.ci welsh walloper who knocked all
thoughts of a comeback out of Max Baer's head.
Farr struck a blow for British box
ing before a swanky crowd of 14.000
at Herring ay arena last night by
trimming Playboy Maxle who was
perfectly fit, but, as always, couldn't
box a lick. The two handed thrash
ing he administered brought a thrill
to the land of hope and glory that
It hasn't experienced In many a day.
Late last night, aa cabled offers
from American promoters began ar
riving today, every Welshman with
good lungs still was singing "Land
of My Father." and Englishmen were
accosting perfect strangers to ask If
they had heard the news.
By stepping In and slapping Baer
out of shape to win a lop-sided 13
round decision, Young rarr climaxed
a ring career that began when he
gave up the Idea of remaining a
kitchen hand In his native Tony
pandl, Wales. At the same time, If
you take Baer's word for It, the curly
haired Callfornlan Is convinced he's
all washed up In the punching bust,
ness.
Never before had Farr been known

aa anything but a plodder. England's
own expert called him a "good aec
and rater" even after he won the
British heavywelgnt title from South
African Ben Foord a couple of
months ago.
Before last night's battle, they pre.
dieted the ferocious Baer-man would
knock his block off, and made Maxle
a 3 to 1 shot.
They had much to answer for to
day. Not only was Farr able to stay
out of the way of Maxle' murderout
right the same right that knocked
off such high raters as Max Schmel
Ing and Primo Camera but be
proved at the same time that he's a
pretty fair country boxer.
Within a few minutes after the
victory. Farr had an offer from far
off Pittsburgh for 10,000 for a fight
there with John Henry Lewis, the
world's llght-heavywelght champion.
He doesn't want that, however. He

TOP ARMY BOUT
Two of tho most colorful grapplera
aver to appear In tha Medford rlna;
will meet In the main event of Pro
moter Mack LUlard'a weekly card at
the armory Monday night, when Toots
Kates, the former heavyweight cham
pion of the Hawaiian Islands, tangles
with Danny Savtch.
Returning last Monday for the first
time In over two years, Estea proved
that he has lost none of the skill
and sensational ability that made
him a locsl favorite In the paat. Hit
double-barreled dropklcks disposed of
meanle Pete Baltran with plenty of
dispatch, and next week he will match
those deadly devastators against the
equally punishing sonnenbergs of
Ssvlch.
Both are former football playera
and have brought to tho mat some
of the pigskin maneuvers that made
them both experts of the gridiron
game. At present, Savlch Is the king
of southern Oregon's wrestling do
main, but will undoubtedly have to
be at hla best against Estes to re
tain the crown.
In the middle event, Cowboy Billy
McEwen, the flash from San Aiitonlo.
Tex., will meet Joe Smollnskl. the
Polish Palooka. McEwen la clean and
Smollnskl acta as If he doesn't know
that word exists. The result should
be one of those things that turn an
ordinary sane and sensible citizen Into
a raving maniac. Smollnskl spread
the dirt like none other since Ted
Christy, and If McEwen can handcuff
the brute he will be John Q. Pan's
best friend.
