OF
Featuring tomorrow night's grapple
at the local mansion of misery wlU
be three of the most downright ornery
bad men to ever disgrace the game.
Mack LUlard, wrestling lmpresearlo,
In announcing the card the other
day. stated that he was tentatively
planning to arrange for extra police
men to be on hand during proceed
ings, and that he might find It nec
essary to establish a first aid room
in the armory.
It Is not definitely known whether
or not LUlard was kidding regarding
the first aid business, but from nil
appearances and records of the three
toughles he has signed up to commit
legalized mayhem, It would seem that
such a station would be strictly in
order.
BecniiAC of a redhot riot and free-for-all
in Los Angeles Friday even
ing, a slight change In tho previ
ously announced program will be
made. In the place of Dangerous
Danny McShane, big Pete Bait ran
will meet Sammy Feeback In the
opening event. Dangerous Danny was
Involved In the L. A. riot to sucn
an extent that today he la nursing a
fractured Jaw. No details were set
forth In the wire Promoter LUlard
received from McShane directly after
the brawl.
Anyway, the substitution of Baltran
wlU not lessen In the least the array
of blackguards who will tangle with
legitimate grapplers. Below ore list
ed the toughles who wlU display their
dirtiness to an expected packed house.
In th order of their meanness they
are:
1. Joe Smollnskl, the terrible Pol
ish Pslooka. Joe has been absent
from the local emporium for several
weeks, during whlih he has toured
here and there. He Is, without doubt,
the most hated scoundrel since the
era of Terrible Ted Christy and re
gards the wrestling game as Just
one big alley-brawl after the other.
He faces Alvln Brltt in the middle
event, and paying customers will In
clude the ex-Junior heavyweight
champion In their prayers.
3. Pet Belcoatft), the Mad Italian
from Weed, Cal. Second only to
Smollnskl in the matter of under
handed tactics, Pete meets Sailor
Dick Trout In the top main event
In addition to being about as dirty
as they come, the Weed villain poa
acn&ca a nice change of pare, In that
he has a certain amount of what It
takes between the ears. If placed
end to end, the grapplers Pete has
licked by foul means would stretch
from here to there, and he has laid
elaborate plana to add Sailor Trout
to the list. Trout's plans are some
what dlffreent, so the match should
be one of those things.
3. Pete Baltran, the New York
City bad man. Baltran, a huge
dark-hntred gorilla, tangles with
newcomer Sammy Fee back In the
opening bout. Although not so foul
a grappler as Smollnskl or Belcas
tro, Pete Is nevertheless no angel.
In facing Feeback. he will be meet
ing an exceptionally fine grunt and
groancr from Kansas City, Mo., who
will be making hit first appearance
here.

TO FACE CRATERS
Manager Mike Balkovlck sends hla
Medford Craters Into Southern Ore
gon league action at Ashland (thls
afternoon bent upon breaking 'into
the win column. The game Is called
(or 2:30 sharp at the high school
field.
Starting hurler tor the Craters,
InacUve slhce the league opener
two weeks ago, will be either Ray
Ertckson or Larry Pepper, both
"young righthanders.' On the mound
for the Ashland Llthlana wlU be
Lowell Brown, the clrcult'a lone
southpaw pitcher. .
Billed' as a grudge battle, the fra
cas may turn Into Just that.
Two years ago dlsbandment of
the entire league waa averted only
at the laat minute following player
trouble between the two clubs. Med
ford "stole" Bill Courtney and Arn
old Bauman and tried to get Cliff
McLean from the Llthlana and the
latter retaliated by "pilfering" Billy
Calvert from Medford. Laat aeason.
neither city had league entrlea.
To date Ashland haa dropped bat
tles to Crescent City and Roscburg
and Medford was shutout by Oranta
Pass In the circuit Inaugural. Last
week after allowing Roeeburg only
three hits, Brown lost to the Pirates
when an error in left field was
responsible for two runs crossing
the plate..
Ashland John Q. Fans are wager
ing even money and better that
Lowell Brown stands Medford hit
ters on their collective heads.
Manager Balkovlck of the locals
will rely on either the wide, sweep
ing curve ball of Pepepr or the
sharper hook of Erlckson to atlll the
Llthlan war clubs. Both hurlers
have Improved mightily since last
season; Erlckson coming up with
a high hard one this spring that
fairly sizzles and Pepper adding
considerable speed to his always
good curve ball. Both have excellent
control and both hove displayed
whet It takes to go the route.
Forced to remain Idle last Sunday
aa rain postponed their tiff with
Crescent City at the coast town the
Craters have blazed through tough
workouts dally at the ralrgrounds
field and are In greit ahape lor
their aasault on their arch-enemies.
Manager Balkovlck has been es
pecially Impressed with the per
formances of Dick Skeetera. the 15
year old Talent high school pitcher.
The huge skipper saya that he will
carry Skeetera all year, but prob
ably won't use him on the pitching
rubber. He Is a great fielding sec
ond baseman and can sock that
apple.
The Craters will probably line up
in .hiut thA um. fashion they
did on opening day. The Infield will
see Donovan on tnira. uic
at ahort, Wally Rlckert at second,
and either Virgil' Swanson or Holt
man on the Initial cushion. In case
Hoffman starts at first. Swanson. a
terrific hitter, will be shifted to the
outfield. Balkovlck will catch.
That lnlleld 1 figured far and
away the class of the circuit. It
turned In, three sparkling double
killings against Granta Pass two
weeks ago and added two agalna

Sunday.
The outfield la itUl rathsr ua.

Balkovlck aald that five fly-chaeeri
are looking especially good. They
are Ray Lewla, Maloolm Stlna.

Swanson. With Swanson on fire
