With on helty blow of hu dou-bled-up (lt, tna Mad Italian Irom Weed. Calif,, laid low the nun who bad defeated him to easily two week ago, and with the huge crowd snout ing It anger at what looked like a plenty foul punch, Alvln Brltt, ex junior heavyweight champion of the world, lay groaning at the feet of Referee Bay Friable at he raleed Belcastro'a hand In token of vic tory. It waa one. of the rougheat, tough est main event ever displayed by Promoter Mack Llllard In the Med ford Armory; a match In which both men flung caution and any Idea of clean grappling to the winds. The end came after lea than 30 minutes of dirt and after each had grabbed one tumble.' Brltt, angered beyond endurance at the repeatea foul tactics of Belcastro, who waa pouring It on In great quantities, hammered the Italian out of the ring. With Belcastro on the outside and Brltt on the Inside, both pound ing punches at each other In a wild flurry, Pete suddenly brought one up from the carpet. The sock, car rying tremendous power, caught Alvln considerably below where the belt should be and a he fell back wards, Pete dove back through the rope and flopped on top. Patting Belcastro on the back waa a mere formality as Brltt was unable to navigate for at least ten minutes afterward. The first fall took about two min utes, with Belcastro tossing doubled flats with reckless abandon to Brltt's face and body. Groggy, Alvln was battered to the mat and Pete pinned - him with a body press. The ex-champ came back to take the next tumble after both grappiers liad spent considerable time tangling each other up In the ropes, then beating at each other. Finally, Brltt grabbed Pete's head and after sev eral terrlflo reverse body slams that sounded like each would be the end Of life for Pete, Brltt pressed hi shoulder to the carpet. Although barred by the Medford Boxing commission. Brltt several time threatened to use the rope arm-breaker. He never quite got around to It but he did break Pete's arm over his leg more than once, The middle event was great while It lasted, which was three rounds, Toota Estes and Cowboy Billy Mc- Iwsn really opened the book with an smaslng display of clean and sensational wrestling. The finale came when Estes, apparently groggy and ready to finish off after resounding sonnenbergs suddenly lashed out with a double-barreled dropktck that caught McEwan flush on the chin. The popular cowboy dropped to the canvas like he was shot and Bates elamped on the Japanese octopus, a fconoy of a hold. Bailor Dick Trout, a big, blond, smart newcomer from Ban Pedro, took two out of three falls from George Lsgoskl, the Russian Lion, In the opening match. Trout gained the first tumble In ttie Initial atansa with several son nenbergs off the ropes and a body press. Lagcakl cams back to slam blow at Trout's chin In tha middle of another aonnenberg to take the second fall In the second round. Trout got riled at Lagoskl'a dirt In the fourth frame and piled on with a leg-breaker to win the match. The largest crowd since the Black Dragon-Dude Chick match several months ago ttirn-1 out to watch pro ceedings last night.

Ludolph's contract calls for mound assignments when the Acorns are at home and once In a while In Los Angeles, but never In the Pacific northwest. He will do his chucking In night games and on Sunday, al lowing him to give his milk route the fullest attention. The milkman reports to the Oaks for the series with San Francisco in Oakland starting today. LaRocca is en route. Oakland Is in seventh place two and a hair games ahead of the oft-beaten Mission Reds. The Missions entertain the Port' land Beavers tonight at San Fran cisco.

Oregon H "I 0ii L!'tt, I Sport Graphs s . Billy Hulen Sayi: Few Portsiders Toe the Slab in So. Oregon Loop There will be a dearth of southpaw chuckers In ths Southern Oregon clr cult this sesson which, from the Med' ford standpoint, la not so hot. With the exception of Wally Rlckert. i ond Backer, and Ray Lewis, who la a switch hitter, all Crater batters hit from the right aids of the plate. According to all bassos!! axioms. the locals should therefore be duck soup to the Messrs. Merrltt snd Thompson of Glendsle, Bsrr snd Ty nan of Boseburg, Deo of Crescent City snd Griggs of Grants Pass. So far as the latter Is concerned, the Craters did prove to be rather easy pickings a couple of weeks sgo In the league opener. They got only six blows off ths brilliant Merchant righthander but Manager Mike Bal- iovlck Is not worried In ths leaat, either about his club's Inability to sock Griggs with any degree of con slstency or the great scarcity of southpaws In the league. "We'll start getting basehlts. never worry," the huge skipper Informed us. "Right or lefthand ed, It doesn't matter, with a few more practice sessions under our belts, all hurlers will look the ssme whether they heave from the port or the starbsard. side." Next Sunday at Ashland the Cra ters will fsce Lowell Brown, to date the circuit's lone lefthander with the exception of a youngster at Crescent City who probably won't aee much action this year. Brown, who has plenty on the bsll when hs la right, was certainly right at Roeeburg Sun day, but lost when a line drive got away irom Jack Bauldlng In left field. Reputed to be heavy hitting crew, the Pirates solved Brown's slants for Just three hits, one or them a home run by Manager Chuck Taylor. In sdditlon to Brown of ths Ltth- lana having to face eight right handed batters, the Craters should be further aided In their quest for victory by the fact that the left field fence in Ashland's ball orchard la not a great distance from the home plate. Eight right-handed hitters swing for the short wall against a southpaw appears to be a pretty aweet situa tion, for Medford anyway. But, It would be wise to retrain from betting tha homestesd. As proved several times, anything can happen In base bsU. There Is really a nice story In the short left-field fence busi ness at Ashland, but having sort of a need for arms, legs, hair and skin, ws will not go Into many details. That fence Is a huge sore spot with Ashlsnd bsseballert and enthusiasts. Two years sgo a yam waa printed regarding ths fence and Its distance from the piste slong with other slight fallings of ths park, and the re sult, was a near breaking oft of all relations Including friendly with Medford. Anyway. It can be stated with con fidence that when Medford and Ash land tangle In their Southern Oregon league affair at Ashland next Sun day Manager Balkovlck's Craters will have plenty of eyes glued to that left ueid barrier which is, we shall ssv. a considerable distance closer In then a left field fence shouM be.
