tfcs fast ball that sizzle, will go to
th mound today tor the MedXord
Crstsrs In their Southern Oregon
league baaeball game with the rough
and tough Olendale Loggsrs at the
high school turf Held. Firing will
tart a 3:30 aharp.
Opposing Irlckson, hard luck
pitcher of the circuit, will be big
Larry Nunnenkamp, Willamette uni
versity's speed-ball gift to the Log
gers of Manager Jake Glpe.
The battle this afternoon will end
the first half of the It-game loague
schedule. A victory for M eel lord will
clinch a fourth place berth, while a
detest will drop them Into the cellar.
After a week of torrid batting and
fielding drills, Manager Mike Balko
vlck of the Craters yesterday an
nounced hla Btartlng lineup. It will
be Erlckson on the mound, either

The Cratera have never met defeat
on the newly turfed high school field,

during practloe sessions sll week,
with young Lyle Russell especlslly
making a big Impression on the man

kamp are fast ballera, the Crater
hurler having lost three extra tough
affaire thla souson, and Nunnoukump
falling before Bob Hardy two weeks

one of the best college pitchers In
the state this spring, and Is sxpected

annual amateur tournament this
week because In the end today, both
defending champions Harry Glvan.

fused to orack when Moe wiped out
a four-hole lead and later a two-hole

Harry came right back to take the
35th with a par when Don twice vis
ited the rough, and after he moved
In front for the third time during
the match with a birdie at the 37th,
he made quick work of the contest
on the homeward nine with four suc

and 33rd In pars and the battle was
over. -

BATTLE ROYAL ON
Ti
I
That most thrilling of all wrest
ling progrsnu the battle royal will
be displayed to an expected capacity
crowd tomorrow night In the Med
ford armory when Promoter Mack
LUlard dishes up four mat villains
and two gentlemanly grapplera on
the final card until July 12. The
one-week layoff was announced be
cause of July 1 celebrations outside
of Medford.
Hesdlng the quartet of horrible
he-men who will blaze forth In all
their glory are, of course, Pete Bel
castro and the Black Dragon, two
of the meanest muscle-manglers to
yet disgrace the local arena. Close
behind In the matter of foul and
underhanded tactics will come Monte
LsDue, the ferocious Frenchmsn, and
Gentleman Dale Haddock, who does
not live up to his name.
Outnumbered two to one, but re
solved to uphold bravely the honor
of the falr-halred grappling clan are
Frankle Taylor, the clean-worker
from Ohio State college and Frankle
Stojack, another footballer of na
tional reknown, he having done
stout service In the line for Wash
ington State college. Both men have
more than once proved their capa
bility of handling the toughest oi
meanles, and they are not expected
to fold up without serious argu
ment. The battle royal, naturally, will
highlight the program, but actually
It Is merely the beginning to what
will probably be a spectacular eve
ning. The first two grapplera elim
inated In the free-for-all will come
back to tangle In the opening event;
tne next pair out will meet In the
middle bout; and the final two
gorillas will cap the entertainment
by battling In the main squabble.
All matches will be decided by the
best two out of three fall or a one
hour time limit. Promoter Llllara
said the last three cards had been
complete sell-out, and that he ex
pected another one tomorrow night.
