PAGE TWO MTCDFOTID MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY. MAY 9, 1938. Kenaston Grapples Black Secret in Tonight's Main Armory Event, FACE RED LYONS Newcomer Tony Garibaldi Imported As Opponent for Villainous Fritz Hansen in Curtain Raising Bout Gold Hlll'a leading cltlwn big. tough Bob Kenaston geta a crack at southern Oregon's newest man ox mystery the Black Secret In the msla grappling bout at the Mcdtnrd armory tonight, and local mat fans are looking (or one of the most spectacular, slam-bang battles of the current season. Red Lyons, the Joplln Ghost, re turns after a long absence to clash with Bobby Chick, x-llght heavy weight tltleholder. In ins center at traction, and Fritz Hansen, the vil lainous Swede, tries out a newcomer Tony Oarlbaldl, in the opening en gagement. First two brawls will be under the Australian system of six 10-ralnute rounds or two falls, while the main tangle will go a full hour or until one grapplers obtains a pair of tumbles. In his one and only appearance here to dote, tbe masked Secret gave Junior Heavyweight Champion Dude Chick a plenty tough time last Monday and lost only when the Cowboy spun him aloft In the doadly lariat whirl. The Hooded meante combines scientific application of leverage with down right dirt for his effective attack, and is expected to provldo Kenaston with his toughest test since return ing following a long vacation caused by a broken ankle. In two ehowlngs since the Injured ankle mended, Sift. Bob has beaten Bockeye Jack McDonald and Bulldog Ken Hollls, both decisively, with his terrific Gold Hill crab hold. Ho claims he la In the finest condition of his career and will give the Black Secret a rousing trouncing. nnth nrflllmlnarv matches will fol low the cleanla versus meanle theme. Lyons, a brutal rcd-holred eye-gouger and' body-puncher, will provide the horror-anglo In the middle event and Hansen wilt take care of the dlrtt - slinging In the opener. Oarl baldl, according to Promoter Mack LH'.nrd. is a cloan wrestler, although well able to protect himself against all and sundry. No Triple Crown for Kentucky Derby King I 0 V , . I LAWRIN I 1 r, . . - .. ,v . u LOUISVILLE. Ky.. May 0. (UP) Lawrln 1b king, but tie will never wear the triple crown that goes to the winner of the Kentucky Derby, the prenknera and the Belmont. H ! Ineligible far the prcakneu next Saturday and for the Belmont later In the cummer. Bo It will be some tlmo before rac ing fans get another look at the speedster that went out there with ft spilt hoof Saturday and ran away from the Kentucky Derby field. For a cripple. Lawrln did all right and If he had started with a broken leg he probably would have hung up a derby record. Herbert M. Woolf, the Kansns City merchant who owns Lawrln. did not enter hie horse for the Preakness next week. It Is too lata to do so now, for Preakness entries must be In pre vious to the running of the Kentucky derby. Horses that run In the Bel mont must be nominated before they are foaled, so Lawrln is Ineligible for that, too. Trainer Ben Jones was uncertain when Lawrln would start again. His immediate Interest was whether the mile and a quarter run that Lawrln made In the -derby had aggravated the split hoof. The Injured hoof Is the right front one, and It was a gamble maybe with Lawrln's whole future as the stakes to send him Into the derby. Woolf and Jones took that gamble and won, for a veterinarian said that the race had spread the iplit in the hoof only slightly. IV.

If the Ashland Llthlans don't pro duce the Southern Oregon league's leading lilttbr this season, they oughts. Truly batsman's para dise Is the cigar box Ashland high school park, not only because of the short left field fence but. also, due to the general construc tion of the play ing field. The entire lay out Is hard gran-" Ite, and lnfleld ers take, their Uvea In tholr '- hands when they get tn front of ground balls. Ordi nary batted balls which, on turf or on a softer Infield, would be gobbled up with easo, shoot over that granite expanse and go tipping into the out foeld. Any hard-hit drive on the ground will nine times out of wind ' up In the outfield, and even there outer gardners have a hard time stopping the onion. awirlaJi Billy nulc Does any Southern Oregon league club need a good, hard-hitting out fielder or first baseman? If they do. It might be wise to get in touch with Bud Conlln here In Medford Bud told ua the other day that he's got that old feeling again, and would like to get out there and sock 'em some more. A left-handed hitter and thrower. Conlln hasn't played any ball to speak of In the past two years, but previous to 1033 he was one of the hardest hitters In southern Oregon Conlln can be reached at The Hut on South Riverside avenue. Contrary to popular belief. Max Schmellng won't be the first heavy weight champion to regain his title in case he wallops Joe Louis at Yaukee stadium. June 33. In fact, he will be the fifth to accomplish the feat. The names of the four previous are William Darts. Jem Ward, William Thompson Oendtgo and Ben Caunt. and If you have evei heard of those gentlemen before you're wwy ahead of this scribe. Darts was the first to pull a "come back." On May 3, 1760, he defeated Tom Juchau for the title In 40 rounds. 4?n June 37, 1769, he lost to "Waterman" Lyons In 45. Then, rather than meet Darts tn a return match. Lyons forfeited the title buck to him. Jem Ward, second two-ttm title holder, won from Tom Cannon In a l(Munder July 19. 1825. then lost It to Peter Crawley, who promptly retired to open brewery bar. Ward then defeated the Irish eiampton. Simon Byrnes, to regain his cham pionship, July 13. 16J1. Bendlgo s the next to regain his tlt. not once but twice. He wop It in 1839 when he Beat Jome Burke. EnclWi deaf mute, on a foul In 10 round. In 1840, Bendlgr fought Ben Caunt, hurt his kner and forfeited the crown, lu 1845 BendUo fought Caunt again, and beat him lu a little aifalr of 9 rounds. Then. In 1850. after dcIik "retired" a while, Thomas Paddo: was hnovkfd out by Bendlgo aUer 4b frames of battling. Ben Caunt, who won the title In 1840 as has been noted, was the fourth to regain the top of the heap He lost It to Ntck Ward in 1841, but four months later beat Ward In 86 rounds, regaining the championship. However, since the Marquis of Queensbury rules have been in ef fect, there has been no heavyweight win the title after losing It.

Including 10 two-base wallops, a triple, and a mighty home run clout over the centerfleld fence by Cliff "Chief" McLean, Medford's Craters opened the Southern Oregon league pennant race with a 17 to 9 win over Ashland at Ashland yes terday afternoon. Before one of the largest crowds In years, the slugging Craters went basehtt-crazy In the third Inning to score 10 runs and clinch the game. McLean, fiery Indian catcher, snap ped out of his two-game batting slump to lead the Medford attack with a single, two doubles and a homer. Paul "Hoosler" Hoffard rap ped two doubles and a single. Ray Erlckson hit a pair of doubles and a single, and Dick Sakralda socked two singles and a double. Wild Hattle. It was a wild, error-laden battle, with Ashland scoring five times In the second Inning as the Medford Infield cracked wide open, Medford coming right back with Its 10-run outburst In the third and adding four more In the sixth and three In the ninth, and Ashland dying hard with a desperate rally In its half of tho ninth that saw four runs cross the plate before the side was retired. Husky Ray Erlckson did a bril liant Job of relief hurling for tho Craters. He replaced BUI Rathke In the second frame, after Ashland tal lied five times, and held the Llth lans run less until the ninth, fanning 10 and allowing only two hits. He weakened In the ninth when Ashland rapped out five hits, but weathered the storm to chalk up his first vic tory of the year. His three base hits also , helped plenty. Errors Bring Runs. Rathke, starting the game for the Craters, was lifted with two out In the second frame and five runs In. but those runs weren't his fault. Manager Rtckert dropped a loopor in right field that would have retired the side before a run was In, Dick Lewis muffed a popfly back of sec ond Immediately afterwards and then let a ground ball dart between his legs. When Tommy Kenton rifled a single to center scoring two men and KemnltEer doubled to left, that was the signal for Erlckson to enter the box. He forced eavens to ground out, retiring the side, but Ashland had a ft to 0 lead, and It looked far from good for the Craters. However, the Medford s didn't waste any time worrying. They opened fire with their heaviest artillery and when they jot through belting John Schonneker, lanky righthander who started for Ashland In place of Alvle Mcrrltt who pulled a run out to Hilt, and Bill Kannasto, who took over the hurling duties with none out and five runs In, the Craters had 10 tallies and the old bait game all wrapped up and sealed. Here Is how Crater bats exploded In their big Inning: Lewis singled to left. Hoffard singled to center and Lewis scored all the way from first base. McLean singled to left. sending Hoffard to third, and went to second on the throw-In. Brown singled to right, scoring Hoffard and McLean. Ager doubled to left send ing Brown to third. Acheson walked, filling the bases. Erlckson doubled down the left field four line, scoring Ager and Brown and tying the count at ft to 5. Exit Schonneker and enter Kannasto. Sakralda walked, filling the bases again. Rlckert walked and Acheson was forced over the plate. Lewis struck out. Hoffnrd got his second hit of the Inning, a dou ble to right, and Erlckson and Sk a raids scored. McLean belted a two bagger to center and Hoffard scored. It was also McLean's second hit of the Inning. Brown and Aper filed out to retire the side, with 10 runs In on eight hits. Cut Loose Again. Crtnock. a skinny righthander re putedly from the Montana Mines league, entered the box for Ashland in the fifth lnntng. and the Craters didn't give him much of a breath ing spell. In the sixth they cut loose again to score four times on sn error, Acheson s double to left, a walk to Erlckran. Sakralda's double to right snd Rlckert's hot single to center. The Craters chssed over their final tallies In tha ninth, three of them. With pne gone and the bases empty. McLean blasted a home run over the centerlield fence. Tommy White trip-; led to right center and scored on j Bill Calvert's single down the left j field foul lino.

In the last of the ninth, Ashland tried desperately to pull it from the fire. Harrington dropped Oltun'a fly ball In the sun, and Crlnoek reached first when White hit 0;tzen on the back In trying for a double play. Oltzen reached second. Bchopf dou bled to left scoring Oltsen. McNees hit a two-bagger Into right scoring Crlnoek and Schopf, but was thrown out at third. Hall, ptnch-hltting for Kenton, fanned for tho second out. Montgomery doubled to right and went to third when Leavens hit to deep short. Jones singled to left. scoring Montgomery. When Leavens tried to tally on the hit. he was thrown out at the plate, Harrington to Calvert to McLean, and tha game was over. ' Considerable bickering over um pires' decisions marred the game, with a near-riot occurring on the final play. McNees, Ashland third baseman, took a swing at Umpire Lew Miles when Leavens was called out. hut the pair were separated be fore any damsge was done.
