holder, S and , In their 73-hole
match for a puree of M00 and "the
unofficial world championship."
After making the lsst turn with a
four-hole advantage, Cotton went
dormle six by sinking a 15-foot putt
for birdies on the fldth and th
holes. They halved the last hole with
par fours.
The vlotory, following his sensa
tional triumph In the British open
last week, gave Cotton 13000 of the
nurse. The other 500 went to Bnute,
who never waa In front after the
half-way mark. They entered the
final 36 holes today with Cotton
leading by two holes.

Shute Hits Spectator
On the 04 th shute hit a woman
and then holed a stymie to gain
half and furnish the only laugh of
the match.
The American hit a wild low hook
from the tee which struck Mrs. B. A.
Griffin of London. The ball didn't
Injur her but Just rolled In her
skirt and stayed then until Shute
arrived.
'"Quest I'll have to us a hand
mashle on that one," , sad Denny,
laughing.
He then proceeded to hit the ball
on the green and finally hopped a
stymie to tie the hole with a five, i
They started the second day with
Cotton two up on the Winchester,
Mass, pro at the end of 89 holes and
favored three to two to win.
Cotton ran his lesd to five holes
on the B3nd, where Bhute looked up
on an approach, shot and took a bo
gey five. They tied the tSrd In or
thodox pars and Cotton maintained
his lesd on the 84th by chipping
back from the rough and sinking a
five-footer for a four.
Cotton popular
There aeems to be little doubt that
silent Cotton Is sbout the moat pop
ular golf champion with the galler
ies that England has had In a long
time.
Henry doesn't mix much with his
fellow pros, but the "000 fans who
wandered over the Walton Heath
course In the rain yesterday to see
him play gave ample proof that he
la a real drawing card.
The spectatora saw the usual fins
exhibition of golf end one of the
famous Cotton tantrums.
Cotton became perturbed on the
31st where he drove Into the rough
end needed three shots to get out.
After No. 4 finally had floated to the
edge of the green, he gave a nearby
fence a sound thumping with his
club.
10 GIVE ITALIAN
BEATING OF LIFE
With a magnificent gesture, the
Blsck Dragon ripped off hla mask
last night, heaved It Into the crowd,
and proceeded to hand Pete Bel
castro the beating of his life. Over
1100 roaring fens who packed the
ringside and half the grandstand at
the high school football stadium In
the first of 10 weekly matches under
the stars saw the previously hooded
horror go "clean" for three short
minute, open s cut over Belcsstro's
eye with a right hand wallop, and
end things with a pair of devastat
ing Boston crab holds.
It waa a sensational cltmax to a
sensstional main event, with the
count atandlng one fall esch. the
Dragon got fed up with Belcastro
twitting his hood halfway around
hla head, cutting off hla vision, and
then slugging him brutally. So. he

went to work on the Weed Dalian,
for a few moments the two stood

the Boston crab and It looked like
curtalna. Pete, however, managed to
crawl to the ropes and bretk the
hold, but he was In no condition to

later the Italian was In the crab

the end.
The Dragon took the ft ret tumble

FELLER UNDISCOURAGED
BY SEASOfTS SHOWING
CHICAGO, July 18. (AP) Bob Feller, the 18-year-old Cleveland In
diana' hurler who blared a atrlkeout trail across the baseball horizon In
1910 and then Injured his arm this sesson, Is convinced he's Just as good
as ever, notwithstanding his current record of three defeats and no victories.
"I'll get the breaka eoon," ha smil
ed, "and I'm far from discouraged
over losing those games, even though
i d have liked to won them. But It
I could go out and pitch like I did
against Detroit Sunday, I'd win 98
games a season." He ellowed Detroit
only two hits although he lost the
game.
"I've been relying mslnly on my
fsst ball, and my arm feels Just ss
good aa ever. My curve Is getting
better when It's right I think Its
as good a curve aa any pitcher has
in the league and I'm sure thst
I'll start winning eoon. I'm not try
ing to fan every batter. If I can fan
them with men on bates I'll be sat
isfied .'
The Keller case has been baseball's
most Intriguing, mystery of recent
yeers. When he Injured his arm
pitching against St. Louis April 24,
some said he was through for good.
Others that he wouldn't pitch again
until 1038. Starting against Detroit
at Cleveland, he allowed one hit In
four Innings, bt the Tigers got three
unearned runs olf him and won a
seven-Inning game. 3 to a.
At Detroit Bunday he walked six
and made one wild plta-h.
FOR RIFLE CLUB
HAILED SUCCESS
The first :annual member's match
held at the Medford Rifle club's
small bore range Sunday was hailed
aa. an unqualified success by all
entries. The first squad waa on the
line at 7:30 a.m., and firing con
tinued until shortly after noon.
Most Important and first of the
four events, waa the official qualifi
cation course, 30 shots at 60 yarda
and 30 ahote at 100 yards, In which
each entries'- score Is witnessed, cer
tified and sent to the National Rifle
association for classification aa a
marksman, sharpshooter and expert
with the small bore rifle. Scores re
quired are 370, 360 and 390 re
spectively. Match Mo. 3, 40 shots at
60 yards was a real endurance test.
Third event, the Carton match,
called for 30 shot's at a hundred
yards on a one-Inch bullseye. A
perfect score, If ever made, would
count 320. With light changes and
a shifty wind Its the toughest match
on any program.
Credit and thanks are due two
local sporting goods firms for their
Interest ' In these matches. Place
medals In the 50-yard match were
presented by Lamport's, and those In
the Carton match by Hubbard Bros.
The grand aggregate, fourth and
last event, was a total of scores made
In the previous three, and there was

ries of summer matches on the Med

Billy Hulen Says:
No. Carolina Town
Is Hottest Spot
In Baseball World
For the benefit of those eour
taced pessimists who each spring and
summer rise up with the moan that
baseball in the bushea and small
towna la dead and can never be res
urrected. It la here called to atten
tion the case of a Jerk-water county
seat village In eastern North Caro
lina named Snow Hill, an Inappro
priate monicker In view of the red
hot Interest In the national pastime
that grlpa the town alx montha a

8now HUI boasts a total population
of only 900 souls, and Is so small tt

when It comes to basehnlt. t.h mhl.

absolutely tops In these 48 states
when It eomes to supporting Its ball
club.
Snow Hill Is undlsputedly the
smallest town In the world to pro
duce a bsseball team In organized
baseball, and make It pay. Or, even
not make It pay, for that matter.
In the Coastal Plains league, a class
D loop composed of eight clubs In
eastern North Carolina, Snow Hill
is the hot-spot. The seven other
towns are from five to ten times Its
size, but Its In Snow Hill where the
crowds roar loudest, the umps are
the dirtiest robbers, and peanut ped
dlers sell the most peanuts.
Baseball has been the favorite
sport In Snow Hill for 40 years,
and always the Tillage has turn

member of one of the semi-pro
or Independent leagues, and
H-hen neighboring towna decided
to cast their lot with organized
baseball this season, Snow Hill
laughed loudly at remarks that
the town was too small, and led
the parade toward affiliation
with the national association.
And, It Is still chuckling.
The Coastal Plains circuit plays a
100-game schedule. That means 60
battles on the road and SO at home
for each entrant. Snow Hill makea Its
road trips, plays good ball, and then
comes home." And, when the Snow

home, they come home for keepa.

year as the, entire works trek to the
ball park to keep their Billies In the
pennant race. All business estab
lishments lock their doors, and the
battle for the dollar la completely

The league's salary limit Is
$1000 a month. Including the
manager, the same at In all class
D wheels. It has . meant that
young players compose almost
entirely the personnel of all
league clubs, which Includes
Klnston, Wllllamston, Goldiboro,
Torboro. Greenville, New Vern
and Ayden, all In eastern North
Carolina.
The Billies' average age Is 23 vears.
but even more startling la the fact
tnat, unlike moat minor league teams.
Snow HUI hssn't a bunch of play
era owned by bigger teama on Its
roster. Emu Zak and Vincent Ven
ture, two young pitchers farmed to
the Billies by Norfolk In the Pied
mont circuit, are the lone perform
ers not owned outright by Snow Hill.
Piedmont la a New York Yankee
farm, so Zak and Venture are really
the property of the world champions.
But. that'a the size of outside help,
and the fans love It.
The more we think about Snow
Hill, the . more clearly apparent It
becomea that, someday, organized
baseball will atlck Its welcome nose
Into Oregon, and bring to fans the
real thing. Maybe right down here
In southern Oregon, with Medford.
Ashlsnd, Oranta Pass. Klamath Falls
and perhaps a couple of northern
California towns Joining up, and

For that matter, there has been
talk in the State league for several
years regarding a class D charter,
but nothing has ever been done
about It. There are rumora going

day In a Salem paper that the city
