(AP) MicKoy uoenrane, righting the great est battle of his life, held his own today against the Injuries that sent him to a hospital after he was felled by a pitched ball in the Tiger Yankee gnme, Tuesday. While reporting the condition ot the fiery leader of the Tlgere as "unchanged." after he had showed Improvement early yesterday, the at tending physicians emphasized that ho t till was In a very serious con dition. "He's still In the acute stspe." , said Dr. Byron Stookey, one of the three physicians attending "Iron Mike." "Just when wo can expect a definite change one way or the other. T could not say." When Cochrone was told that his Tigers had beaten the Yanks, 5 to 4. In 13 Innings, for the only Detroit victory of the three-game scries, a smile softened "Iron Mike's" tired mouth.

He is shown here with Mickey Cochrane, Detroit manager. 10 TAT Two reportedly great newcomers and Cowboy Dude Chick, Junior heavyweight champion of the world, will combine to give local, grappling fans what should be one of the finest cards staged In the Medford armory this year, Monday night. Chick, Idol of the entire Pacific coat. Mil return after a three months absence, to tangle with one of the meanest so-called wrestlers to ever foul an opponent into the third row ringside Joe Smollnskl, the Pol ish Pa look a. Smollnskl, crying like a baby, won the right to meet Chick in tho non-title' bout by defeating Alvln Brltt last Monday when the latter used the ring rope for his arm-breaker hold. Barred by the Medford boxing commission, the arm breakei over the ring rope was too much for Referee Ray Friable to stand, and he awarded the match to Smollnskl, regardless of the fact that Brltt had been nearly torn to shreds by the dirty Pole. Jack Sterllch, a young and husky newcomer from Austria, will meet Alvln Brltt In the middle event. Ster llch Is heralded as a Ilghtnlng-fast grappler of the clean and scientific type. The match will probably be one of the most sensational seen here In some time, as Brltt. when against a clean wrestler, displays plenty of orthodox tactics himself. Opening the card will be Sailor Dick Trout, the popular clcanle from San Pedro. Cal , versus Monte La Due, who admits Prance as his na tive heath.

ROLE PUTS TEAM NEAR RACE LEAD By HID KF.OEIt (Associated Pre Sports Writer) Carl Hubbell, with the longest winning streak In baseball history, is sticking out his chin. He's not only going right on wltn his winning streak, but he's going to do It the hard way. . King Carl was riding on his 24th straight triumph today, four bettet than the previous all time high. Since he passed tho 20-game mark, every win has been achieved either at the expense of the National lague's lustiest larrupers or In a situation that would have put the whammy on a ss masterful mounds man. Between May 13 and last. Monday, he whipped the Pittsburgh Pirates twice and the St. Louis Cardinals once. Yesterday, only three days after beating the Bucs for the second time, he ambled Into the eighth inning of the Giants' go with the Cincin nati Reds, and found a club that Already had sent two Giant pitchers to the showers, was on Its home lot with the score tied, and had Lclty Grissom, anything but a pushover, on the mound. So Carl faced six men in two in nings, and made all of them stran gers as far as first base was con cerned. The final score was 3-2. Mel Otfa ninth Inning homer turned the trick for Hubbell and the Giants The victory boosted the Giants to within a game of the pace-setting Pirates, whose tilt with the Dodgers was rained out after 3'7 Innings. The third place Cardinals dropped farther back by losing an 8-7 battle of homers to the Boston Bees, with Roy Johnson's two-run pinch four bagger In the eighth putting the game on Ice.

FOREST SERVICE REPORTS FISHING IN LAKES BETTER Fishing condltlona in the lakes throughout the Rogue River national forest are generally improved this week but most of the streams con tinue to be poor because of high wa: tcr. Roads are In better condition than last week. Fish lake, Lake of the Woods, Hyatt lake. Rocky Point and Diamond lake In the Umpqua forest are all re ported as good. At Diamond lake many limit catches of rainbow trout were taken, last week with angle worms the best lure. At Fish lane exceptionally good catches of sllver sldea and eastern brook are being made. t Upper Rogue river, above Muir creek, Is clear but high and salmon eggs and bait fishing are fair along this route. Bait fishing at Copco dam. one mile west of Prospect, Is still very good, The south and middle forks of Rogue river, accessible by road cast from Prospect, are so high that fishing Is poor. Little Butte creek la also too high, and U streams in the Applegate district are classed as poor. The road from Butte Falls to Fish lake Is In fair condition but from Fish lake to Lake of the Woods and on to Rocky Point Is rough and mud-; dy, with chains required tor travel. One may also reach Fish lake by j dr.vlng from the Lake Creek road to j the Big Elk Junction, over the Rob-! lnson Butte road, which la also rough, but offering an Interesting trip into country that Is new to most people. Wild flowers ond shrubs In the higher country arc In bloom and add much to the attractiveness of the roads. Dogwood along the Crater Like highway, blooming under the canopy of heavy timber. Is especially attractive. Winter killing of the ma drone at the higher elevations has occurred as a result of the unusually severe winter, and dead madrone trees are very noticeable along the Crater lake highway. Many of the lower side roads are now open, although snow still blocks those at the higher eleva tions. The Ashland Summit road Is open eight miles from Ashland and from the Applegate side Is open up Beaver creek to Chappel Springs. Squaw creek, Thompson creek and Star gulch roods In the Applegate are all open and In fair condition. Forest camps are becoming very popular, particularly at Union Creek. Farewell bend and McKee bridge. Many of the unslgh tly dead snags along tho Crater Lake highway be tween the forest boundary and Un ion Creek have recently been remov ed by a forest service crew, and dir ectional signs of rustic type, which blend Into the natural scenic beauty, have been erected. Travelers along the highway are particularly Invited to stop at the big sugar pine sign about five miles this side of Union Creek and to follow tho short trail recently constructed to this mammoth tree, which Is estimated to be five hun dred yeara old and believed to be the largest of Its species In Oregon.

Camp Wlmer at Ashland( exhibi tion). Manager Mike Balkovlck will take his Medford Craters to Crescent City Sunday for the only scheduled South ern Oregon league battle of the week. The game will make up for the Med- ford-Crescent City battle postponed May S because of rain. Ashland will meet CCC Camp Wlmer at Ashland In an exhibition affair, while all the other leagus teams remain idle over Decoration Day. In an attempt to knock off th league-leading and undefeated Chl- nuoKs. oaiKovicK win proDaDly use both Larry Pepper and Bay Eerlckson on the mound, working each of them half the game. The extreme con trast in the youths' pitching deliv eries may be Just what the Craters need to yank them out of the cellar. the skipper believes. Pepper, possessor of a wide, sweep ing curve ball, la the direct opposite of Erlckson, who relies on blazing speed and a razor-edged hook. The effect of the two vastly different de liveries on Chinook hitters. Balko vlck says, may be so puzzling that Medford might startle the entire cir cuit with a victory. Ralph Deo, Crescent City ace right hander, will probably etart on the mound for the league leaders, with Henry Mallnverno back of the plate. Mallnverno, a mere youngster, is al ready being hailed as one of the best prospects In the league. A fine re ceiver, his only weakness Is at the plate. The Craters will probably open with practically the same lineup that lost a tough one to Olendale last week after outhlttlng the Loggers.. Balko vlck will wear the mask and pro tector. Virgil Swanson will be on first. Wally Rlckert on second, Dick Lewis at short, and Dick Hoffman on third. In the outfield, Malcolm Sttne will bo In left, Dick Sakralda In center, and either George Gltzen, Ray Lewis or Tiilly Knox In right. Several changes may be made before game time, tho manager said.
