Tonight, that eupor ilugging match de luxe will be ro-onacted with the same caat and In the same location. It will be Sgt. Bob Kenaston, Oold Hill's pride and Joy, versus Sockeye Jack McDonald, the brutal ex-lumber Jack from the tall timber, In a main event slated to go one hour or less or until one guy obtains two tumbles Kenaston, one of the gawio's top note hers, will be making his first ap pearance since the history-milking battle back In February, -me xowow lng night in Klamath Falls, Bob suf. fcred & broken ankle, and for 10 weeks has been resting and waiting for his leg to mend. It Is completely healed now. ho claims, and Is ready to again take his place with head liners In southern Oregon and In other ports of the country. No Love I,ot The match between McDonald and Kenaston Feb, 7 Is still being referred to as the most vicious ever to take place here. Hntlng each other furl. ously, the pair couldn't wait for the bell to begin the match, but started slugging as they listened to Referee Sari Yoakley'a Instructions In the center of the ring. After a hectic 30 minutes of action that had the entire armory In an uproar, Kenaston fell before Sockeye 'a thudding fists and was carried to the dressing room, Since then, the Oold Hlller has been surviving only for another chance to meet McDonald and his first move when he discovered his ankle was again ready, was to chal lenge Sockeye to a re-match. Mc Donald, fen ring nobody, readily agreed to the return engagement, and It will be staged tonight before what Promoter Mack LUlard predicts will be another capacity crowd. Uerry, Hnllla To Meet In prelims to the feature attraction the Impresario has billed Wild Red Berry and Bulldog Ken Hollls for the center bout, and Marshall Carter and Paul Murdock for the opener. Both these matches will be staged under the Australian system of six 10-min ute rounds or the best two out of three falls. The Berry-HolIIs tangle Is expected to produce as much dynamite as the main go. Berry, undefeated hore, lb the lone grappler who holds a victory over McDonald, and as both are ter rific punchers In addition to being pretty fair grapplers, another alley fight Is almost certain to occur. The Carter-Murdock meeting will be a great display of clean and scien tific mat work. Neither is dirty, un less forced to be so by an opponent, and both are masters of all the legitimate wrestling maneuvers. THREE TEAMS SIGNED FOR STATE SEMI-PRO PORTLAND.

Bell Ingham's classy Western In ternational league Chlnooks, north ward bound for their loop opening next week, stopped off In Medford yesterday and defeated the Craters In a sparkling exhibition encounter, 10 to 4, before a large gathering of Easter Sunday fans at the high school park. The game Inaugurated the 1938 baseball season In southern Oregon and both clubs came through with a brisk display of the national pas time. Although Medford never sen ously threatened the clans B league team, which has spring-trained for the past six weeks In southern Call fornla, the battle was extremely In teresting to watch. Many sensational plays afield and terrific slugging, es pecially by the Chlnooks, kept the opening day crowd on Its toes throughout. I Score tn Eighth. The Craters, behind 10 to 0 as the eighth Inning opened, staged a spir ited rally At the expense of Bill Schutt, lonky Belllngham curve- bailer, driving across two tallies In the eighth and- a pair more In the ninth. Paul "Hooslcr" Hofford's smashing home run over tho right centerfleld fence In the eighth, fol lowing Manager Wally Rlckert's dou ble to center, gave the locals their first two runs. Hoffard's homer, a towering fly, was the first ball ever hammered over the rlghtfleld barrier. a distance of over 320 feet from the plate. In the ninth. BUI Plche reached base on an Infield error, went to third on George Gltzen's Texas league single to center, and scored after Bishop.

Medford was set back on Its heels as Clem j PUtp. husky righthander, wheeled a J sharp curve over the plate for six ! Innings before being relieved by Schutt. Rlckert got a single In the first, Dick Lewi slnglod In the third, and Hoffard doubled In the sixth; and that was the extent of Crater scoring opportunities. Ernie Bishop went base hit cracy to lead all hitters, socking four dou bles and a single In six trips to the plate, while Dwlght Aden and Tim Marble each blasted home runs In the second Inning. Ray Grlckson, Crater righthander, survived the first Inning, but In the second the profes sionals trained their sights and cut loose. With two gone, Plllp singled to right, Aden crashed a homer Into left field. Marble hit to right center field for the round trip. Bishop got the first of his doubles, and that was the signal for Ray Tun gate to take over. Harris greeted Tungate wtth a sin gle to center scoring Bishop, and Sakralda took Tyock's long fly In centerfleld to end the Inning, with four runs In on five base knocks. The Chlnooks failed to reach Tun gate for tallies In the third, but In the fourth again opened up. Marble walked. Bishop scored him wtth a two bagger to right, and the latter counted on Rlckert's error. Rathke Takes Mound. Tungate shut the Chlnooks out In the fifth, but the roar of r-nehtta started again In the sixth. Plerson doubled, went to third on a paused hall, and scored on a fielder's choice.

Bill; Holes Sayg: Medford in Line As Baseball Farm If League Formed If, and when, Medford gets ready to enter a baseball team In organ ized baseball, cither In a class D or league, Holly ood of the Pa cific Coast league will undoubtedly be more than glad to offer fl n a n clai assist ance in return ."' .-. .jj i for a: V or H an option on I eral players. or the entire team. Such was the assurance given yesterday by Ken Penner, manager of the Belllng Billy Rnles ham club of the Western International circuit shortly before his team tangled with the Medford Craters In an exhibition game nt the high school field.' Penner, posi tively enthusiastic regarding posslbll Ity of organising a class D or E circuit tn southern Oregon and northern California, explained that Hollywood was on the lookout for a connection In a league of that sort, and that if such a loop were formed next year, Medford needn't worry about obtain ing the necessary financial backing from a Pacific Coast league club. "Hollywood had a dozen or so great youngsters In spring train ing this year," Penner said, "but no place to put them. They were a little too ouug and Inexperi enced for Rcllliighnm and class B baseball, so they had to be released. If Hollywood had had a connection with n class D or E league club, all those promis ing rookies would have been farmed out. So. next .war, If Medford wants to enter ft class I) or E league, I am certain that Holhuoofl would he glad to ar range a working agreement with your learn." Penner, a former major league and Pacific Coast league hurler, was ap pointed by the Hollywood club to manage Belllngham this season. The Belllngham club trained a month with Hollywood this spring at Santa Monica, ond Penner said John Mlljus wni rinlnrr tint with tfof Rtnrt "He' coaching the pitchers," Penner said, I 1 1 r Thousands of A.

After geo graphical situation of the various southern Oregon and northern Cali fornia towns waa explained to him, he said there appeared to be a won derful opportunity for organized ball nereaoouu, and laughingly remarked that If such a circuit were formed, he, himself, might consider a mana gerial offer from Medford or some other club. "From what MHJus tells me, there Is some pretty fine fish ing around here," Penner said, "and If you fellows deride, to enter organized baseball And need a manager, that fishing business will certainly be a good talking point, so far as I am concerned." Penner went Into financial mat ters at some length, and explained that about $1600 or (2000 would be needed to organize a class D club. and less for a class E team. He ad vised Medford to raise such an amount of mouey, then hook up wun a uoast league team, which would guarantee the same amount for an option on all Medford players at tne end of the year. In case Med ford desired the Coast league club to retain an option on only four or five players, he said, the amount of money guaranteed by the Coasters would be less. Medford's fine turf ball park came In for a lot of praise from Penner. "When center and left fields are turfed, and the Infield baselines cut out, you will have one of the best parks I've ever seen in a small city." he said. Wcs Schulmerlch. who was sup posed to hold down left field for Belllngham, didn't appear, and Pen ner explained that old "Iron Horse" was building a garage at his home In Hlllsboro and would meet the team In Salem today, where they play Willamette University, Wes didn't train with the Chlnooks, and was previously slated to meet the team here.
