t PAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON", FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1937. SCIENTIFIC PAIR MAT FOR MAIN EVENT Grappling fans Who Insist on their main events featuring two rough neck al ley-bra wleri better stay away from Mack LlllaM's weekly program at the high school arena next Mon- day evening. But, those customers who appreciate clean, scientific and sensational mat work may attend secure In the knowledge that a pair of the flalAh.e&t and most orthodox boys In the game will be In there when the top event get under way, It will be Marshall Carter versus Toots Bstes, and the most spine tingling exhibition of the year li expected. Carter, blonde, stocky ex- wrestling Instructor of the Univer sity of Missouri, made his first ap pearance In Medford last Monday against Dangerous Danny Savlch, and what he didn't teach the hairy bad man baa never been written In the better grappling books. With out an exception. Carter la the fin est straight wrestler to ever step in a southern Oregon ring. While prob ably not so flashy as Estes, he Is master of every hold and Is sure to develop Into one of Med ford's moat popular boys. By virtue of his great -win over Sammy Kohen In last Monday's main event, Estes made firmer hla claim a current number one man of the local circuit. While Carter waa giving Savlch a grappling lesson In the middle event, Eatea was do ing the same to the New York City Jew. Promoter Llllard, In matching the two, stated he sincerely be' blleved the squabble would be the ultimate In orthodox action. Savlch, who gets dirtier week-by-week, will take a crack at Bobby Wagner In the middle event. Wagner also made his first appearance last Monday with a victory over Wild Man Zlm. Hailing from Now. Hamp shire, Bobby Is no slouch a a clean worker, himself. Sailor Dick Trout returns after an absence of some time to. test Wild Man Zlm In the opener. The wild one has to date failed to hang up a victory and Promoter Llllard has Intimated that If he . didn't crack through for a win pret ty soon, he might as well take hla long, and curly blonde hair and screwy tactics to some other part of the country. Sailor Trout will do his best to speed Zlm on bis way. Scientific M ' ' ' Jv-H Pj v V lr"l w ' A clean, scientific grappler of the first water, Bobby Wagner (above) will fare Dangerous Danny Savlch In the middle event at the weekly pro gram under the stars at the high school stadium next Monday night. Wagner halls from the rolling hills of .New Hnmpshlre and will be mak ing his second showing before a local croud. and various miscellaneous expenses. A far-from-mlnor expense was the cost of electricity for the huge glim mers. Hedrlck estimated that the boys playing aoftball were using' up a. 10 worth of power for every hour they performed. Several large globes Durned out, also, and It was a 95 pop everytlme one of them did just mat. Sport Graphs ...... ' Billy Hnleo Sayi: Field Light Cost Half Paid in First Season of Usage Bill)' Hulen. Medford's first season of Softball under the lights at the high school stadium Is history. Financially speak ing, whlcn Is by far the most 1m portant language the program did right well by It self. Const d s r sbly better than l lot of citizens expected, in fact. Because of ex cellent coopera tion from the city and from the Calif o r n 1 a Oregon Power company ft 13000 lighting system was Installed at a cost around 12300. Revenue gained from the sale of sea son tickets to 45 nights of the pas time, carrying admissions to all games at 10 cents per throw, rentago received from Mack Llllard for Ms weekly wrestling cards, and entry feea of SIS team for 18 outfits totaled 1.677. Expenses will run In the neighborhood of MSO. simple subtraction, therefore, revests thst st lesst one-half the cost of the glim mers was cleared up the first year, which Is nice going In snybodys league. Authority for the sbovs figures Is E. H. Hedrlck, city school superin tendent and the man vho hammered the program through to completion Hs wesrs broad grin these days, the result of this very satisfactory end tng to Medford's Jnltlel summer of night softbsll. And. he doesnt doubt In the lesst that next year will see the oomplete payment of every dime still owing against the lighting sys tem. When that It done, it will be clear sailing from then on, with the lights easily supporting themselves , r.d much financial burden being re moved from various persons' shoulders. On the other side of the picture were the Increasingly lsrge and en thuslsstlo crowds that wended their way to the stadium four nights ft week. For ft time, attendance hovered between 300 and 600 fans but, thanka to a ding-dong pennant race and excellent performances of several clubs, turnouts skyrocketed until 1000 end' more persons were witness ing the games. Final night of the district tournament, nearly 3000 rosrlng addicts were In the grand stand. Alto listed at assets to the pro gram were Rust Acheaon, Med ford Solihull association man ager, Jack dimming,, ttsdlnm ground-keeper, and Alice Webb, ticket seller. All donated their services, were . on hand every night. And cut expenses consid erably. Hedrlck himself, altho not admitting It, worked heart nd soul every evening. A man hired to do what Hedrlck did would have cost plenty. The city school auperlntendent particularly expressed his apprecia tion of the wonderful support and cooeratton received from all team sponsors, business men and cltlsens who purchased season tickets, and fans themselves who, after all's said nd done, make or break ny athletic program. He stated that never had hs witnessed finer and cleaner crowds than attended softbsll games uus summer. GOLD BEACH PLANS I ANGLING CONTEST Amateur Medalist HOLIDAY FEATURE GOLD BEACH. Aug. 37.

With the softbsll business so apparently a success, he Is more enthusiastic than ever. He Is talking now of constructing an open-air swimming tank In the near future and has mentioned, among other Improvements, lighted tennis courts and (whoopee), lights for night baseball. There Is no reason why those things csn't be dons. Softbsll this summer proved that Medfordltet will go for athletics and recreation under the stars, and go In a large way. When those lights on the football field are all paid for. Hedrlck can really bear down on other angles of the project. And. that will undoubt. edly be after 1038.
