Indian and Black Dragon to Renew Bitter Grappling Feud Tonight 1 PARALYZER ARTIST AND CRAB EXPERT TOP OUTDOOR BILL Pair Staged Wild Match In Klamath Last Week Kohen and LaRue in Semi Windup of Feature Card Southern Oregon's most bitter, per sonal wrestling feud will be resumed ' tonight when Frsnkl Clemens. Okli horns' Indian "wonder boy", tangles with the hated Black Dragon In the main event ot Promoter Mack Lll lard's weekly program under the stare at the high school (leld. The pro moter said today that advanoe ticket sales Indicated one of the largest Wowda to ever witness a mstch In Medford. Clemen and the Dragon, meeting In Klamath Kalis last Tuesday nlgnt, cited a riot among fana that threat ened for a time to get out of the hands of police. LtUerd said that It .was the roughest mutch be had ever seen. The riot started when the era. gon climbed through the ropes and refused to continue grappling. Storm ing the ring, hundreds of infuriated fans brandished bottles, chain and flit In a wild demonstration and one addict, Llllard said, drew a knife and was read; to start carving on the Dragon when police interfered. When order was finally restored the Drsgon climbed back In the ring ana waa promptly sent Into Dreamland by Clemens' sensational Indian paralyser. As a result of that wild exhibition the Dragon has once more become In volved In a grudge situation, and lo cal fans expect praotlcally everything to break loose when the two meet to. night. Meanles to Meet Two of the local circuit's ace mean lea will match eye-gouges and hair pulls In the middle event when New York Sammy Kohen, the physical cul ture specimen, faoes Jsck LaRue, who halls from Ksnsaa City, Kan., and who Is a master of the hammerlock. Boasting a win over the Dragon a his most spectacular bid to local fame, the oolorful Jewish fellow may be hard put to finish off the lanky LaRue, who knows plenty uf snswers. Both are good wrestlers when they wsnt to be; however, they usual ly don't oa re for some. Isoh would rather exhibit their roughhouae tao tlos than keep to the straight and narrow, and one ot thoae things Is expected. One of Modford's most popular fa vorites returns tonight when Danny Savlch, former University of Utah All-Amerlcan. faces Carlos Rodriguez, the Mexlcsn "hot tamsle," In the opening event. Absent for several months, Savloh oomea back to south ern Oregon with a fine reoord of wins over some great boys In other part of the country. Cleanlee to Open . Both Savloh and Rodrlgues are grspplers of the elesnest type. Savlch as bents his reputation aa a pigskin star, possesses probably the most ef fective sonnenberg and drop-kick ever unloosed In a local arena. The "hot tamale," Old Mexico's contribution to the ranks of clean grspplers, relies mainly on the hammerlock, whloh no applies with must flnneeae. Tne squabble should be clean and aolenJ title. First two bout will be stsged un der the Australian system oonaletln,! of six 10-mlnute rounds or the best two out ot three fells. Msln event will be a one hour time limit affair. IN ST.

It wss Ashlsnd's fourth straight seoond-hslf victory and no defeats, and Hardy's sixth win of the year. . The lanky portslder, displaying a razor-edged curve and elzzllng fast ball, fanned six Medford batters and allowed only five hits. While be was keeping the Craters almost complete ly handcuffed, the Llthlans were tak ing advantage of tour Medford errors and si base xhlta off Larry Pepper and Jack Hughes to win easily. In tact, Medford wu at no time In the ball game. Huge crowd Present The largest crowd to witness a boll game In Medford In several years turned out to see a resumption of the Pepper-Hardy hurling feud, and for five Innings it wsa not disap pointed. However, Manager Balko vlck of the Craters jerked Pepper In the sixth frame with none away after a walk and a baae nit, and Jack Kughea finished. In Pepper's five plus innings of toll, he gave up only two hits. Hughes, hurling the re mainder of the game, waa touched for four blows and five runs. Two er rors each by Dick Lewis and Bob Smith, usuaUy reliable, were factors that accounted for Medford's first defeat In the second-half race. Hanklnson Injured Duke Hanklnson, Crater third base man, was carried oft the field In the eighth Inning after hurting his weak left ankle. Hanklnson doubled to right, and wrenched the ankle as he slid Into second bsse ahead ot HaU's throw to 8chopf. After scoring a pair of runs in the third Inning without the aid of a base bit, Ashland sewed up the battle In the sixth with a five-run outburst oft Pepper and Hughes. McLean walked to stsrt It, and Leavens dou bled to left, advancing the Llthlan catcher to third. Manager Leonard Hall greeted Jack Hughes, who re lieved Pepper at this point, with a bouncing single into right field, scor ing McLean and Leavens. Keaton was bit by a pitched bsll and Hall scored as Bob Smith missed Bauld Ing'a grounder. Hardy then singled between second and third, scoring Keaton and Bauldlng. The Llthlans lumped into a 3-0 lead in the third Inning when Bauld lng walked and Hardy reached flrat on an error by Dick Lewis.

Wall; Rlckert mushed a two-bagger to leit center and scored on Donovan's hot drive to shortstop that bounced off Schopf'a leg. Medford's two other tallies were gained In the seventh frame when Ivan Harrington, who had taken Acheson'a place behind the bat, got hit by one of Hardy's fast ones, and scored ahead of Jack Hughes as the latter leaned a clean single to center field and made the circuit when the ball got away from Leav ens. With the exoeptlon of those two Innings, the Craters were stopped cold by Hardy. Hoffard got a dlpsy do doublo to right In the sixth with one sway, but was left stranded, and Erlckson, who ran for Hanklnson In the eighth after the latter nit his double, also died right there. Wilder than usual, Hardy was Just wild enough to keep Medford batters from digging In. He only wslked one, but cut loose three times with bullet pitches that connected with Crater (lesb. He also received almost perfeot support, blm teammates making only one error behind him.
