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

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. LaDue has been appear

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.

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.
After four long weeks on the road,
the Craters will finally see action
before a home town crowd when they
dedicate the new turf baseball field
