Bob Kenaston. tne Mad Marina
from Gold Hilt, the euper-meeole and
aoe villain of all tlmt, returns to
Medford tonight.
Under no more auspicious ctrcura

other pastures than those which will

armory ring with five other wrestlers,
namely. Marshall, Carter, Bailor Dick
Trout, young Zbysko, Bobby Wagner
and Lea Wolfe.
Trouble Brewing
Underneath the surface of that
battle royal, which will Inaugurate
tonight's program, trouble Is brew
ing. And, It's serious trouble. Les
Wolfe, the Terrible Texan and the
most despised hombre to ever set
toot lnild a squared circle in Med
ford, has so upset the quiet and
peace of local grappling circles as to
make this night about the biggest
and most Important since the pain
and punishment boys etarted show
tng their wares here. For the past
three weeka, every customer In the
vicinity haa hoped and prayed that
someone would come along to blast
the detested Wolfe off the grappling
h orison. In answer to their demands.
Ullard arranged the battle royal, and
for good measure he threw In the
one man who Is figured to have a
chance at knocking Wolfe Into ob
livion Bob Kenaston.
It's not that the great Marshall
Carter la rated Inferior to Wolfe. Par
from It, but the general opinion Is
that Carter, with all his grappling
made, would be at too much a dis
advantage agatnst the cruelty and
utter disregard of sportsmanship in
any form of Wolfe. And, the same
goes for Trout, Wagner and Zbywko.
all good boya but all too clean and
gentlemanly to faoe a villain of the
Wolfe oallbre.
Cleanles May Osng Dp
. So, it loka Ilka Kenaston and Wolfe
111 provide the fireworks. Of course
It could happen that Carter, Wagner,
Trout and Zbyaako, bating all un
orthodox wrestlers sa they do, may
decide to pool their grappling ability
and wipe out Wolfe and Kenaston
with one bold and mighty stroke,
which they undoubtedly could man
age If they so desired. However, their
very nature apparently precludes
that possibility: they are all too line
sportsmen to tske unfair sdvsntagc
of an opponent, no mutter bow meau.
As uiuej, the first two eliminated
will return for the opener, the next
pair earning back for the middle tan
gle and the last two meeting In the
top squabble. All matceht. following
the batle royal, will be for one hour
or one fell.
Kenaston Onlns "Rap"
. Kenaston. since his disappearance
from Medford over a year ago, has
beoome one of the game's best-known
figures. Wrestling In Detroit. Toledo
and other eastern and middle western
cltlos. ha haa made a great name for
himself. Ha haa developed a sensa
tlonal airplane apln second only to
that of Dude Chick's. Coupled with
a devastating crab hold, he Is now
rated one of the toughest and most
successful workers In the business.

FIELD GOALS DECIDE
10 OF THREE TILTS
CHICAGO. Sept. 3T (AP) Earl
(Dutch) Clark often la called the last
of the old-school drop-kicking export
but neither hla Detroit Ltgna nor any
other club In the national profea-
alonal grid league haa any monopoly
on plaoa kicking ability.
Two of the three game played In
the major pro circuit yesterday were
decided on field goals by placement.
Til lie Manton'a perfect kick from
11 Tarda out at a difficult angle gave
New York'a talent a 10 to 1 victory,
over the previously undefeated Pitts
burgh Pirates.
Bd Danowskl'a pass to Kink Rich
arris gave New York its touchdown,
while the Pirates knotted the count
on a plunge by Karcia after a blocked
punt and a pass Interference. Then
Manton booted his field goal early
In the final period.
Dick crayne booted a 31 -yard
placement In the final three minutes
of play to give Brooklyn a B to 7
win over the Cleveland Rams at
Brooklyn. Qnddard scored a tou:h-
down for Brooklyn In the first period
but the Rama came back to tie the
core before the stanza ended on a
plunge by Harry Matte.
Cblcago'a cardinals, scored a xirvt
period touchdown after Conway Baker
ran 30 yards to the enemy 10-yard
stripe, then saw the Eagles pull out
with a fl-d tie on a final minute
touchdown. A sensational catch or a
50 -yard pass by Joe Carter saved the
Eaglet from a fourth loss In aa many
atari.

for that big Red machine to get

in the best football families. But,
that's the score, brother, and so
what?
And look. Idaho 7, Oregon Stute 6.
Now. who would hove believed It?
Cera! nly not any of the country's
expert plckern, and tliey didn't,
either. It was unanimous thut
Joe Gray and company would
roll over, around and through
the Vanduls. There wasn't any
doubt about It. But that, also,
Is the score, and so what?
About the only answer to the "so

It's going to be an upset this season
when there arent any upsets. In
other words, the big surprises will be
saved for the Saturday afternoons
when all favored teams come through
as expected. . 1

it 111 can look you In the eye. Ha
named eight out of 12 ball games
and returns to do a little gloat
ing on several of the amazing
turns he called.
For Instance, I. Pickem named the
high school to wham the alumni,
13-7. when all other gentlemen fig
ured the grads to win in a walk.
Well, the score was 18-6 for the
Tigers, so laugh that off. He also
called Ashlsnd to lick Yreko, fl-0. The
count was ia-0. And, Oregon to lose
to UCLA, 10-31. and the finale was
13-36. That there Is pretty nifty
prognosticating In case anybody
should ask you. He put hla finger
on the Webfoot score and missed
the UCLA total by only one touch
down.
Now on that Washington-Iowa bat
tle. I. Plokem ststed that the Hus
kies would score three times to
Iowa's none. The count was 14-0, j
whteh Us not bad In anybody's lesgue. I
Mr. Plrkem selected Ohio State to
beat Texaa Christian, 8-0. and the
Burkeye did It, 14-0. That's oalllne 1
the loser score to the point, or to
the no-polnt. Pittsburgh was picked
to whack Ohio Wesleyan. Sft-0, and
lo and behold, the Panthers were 34
points better than expected, although
Ohio Weeleyan scored exsctly an

FAINT HOPE HELD
I
OF
By Kid Feder
Associated Press Sports Writer
To all Intents and purposes, the
Giants mive the National league pen
pant tucked away In their weskit
pocket, but there's still the bare
chance that those big bad Bees from
Boston will knock them over the
head and take the title right away
from them.
In fact, the lattt hope for the Cubs,
who now trail Bill Terry's Terriers
by four games, lies In the ability of
the baffling Bees to continue their
jinx over the galloping Glante In two
doubleheaders at the polo grounds to
day and tomorrow.
It will tnke a sweep of the four
game set, or close to It, to keep the
Olants away from successful defense
of their crown through this last week
of the season. And even that may not
do It, unless the Cuba oan knock off
the Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds in
their seven remaining games.
As matters now stand, any com
bination of six six wins for the
Giants, six losses for the Cuba, or a
sum making up that total,--clinches
the pennant for the New Yorkers.
They have 11 games to play, to the
Cubs' seven.
It's strictly up to the Bees cow.
They've already whipped the Olants
ten times In 18 starts this year. After
they leave the Polo grounds, the
Glantfi run out their schedule against
the soft touches, the Phillies and
Brooklyn Dodgers, who are no longer
troublesome.
JACKSON ALL-STARS
. WIN AT GRANTS PASS
Larry Pepper pitched the Jackson
county all-stars to a 4-1 victory over
the Josephine county luminaries yes
terday at Grants Pass in the first
game of a double-header. The young
righthander allowed only five hits to
best Bill Lsnnlng, who spent the past
season in the clssa D Arisona-Texas
league where he won 13 and lost 11
encounters. Booster Hoffard collected
two safeties to lead the Jackson
county club.
The second battle was called tit the
end of four Innings with the score
7-1 In favor of the Josephine county
tam. Lowell Brown, Ashland south
paw, and Jack Hughes. Medford right
hander, worked on the mound against
Merle Johnson. George Gitzen caught
both gsmee for the Jackson county
team.
