ZIEGLER HOBBLES
OUT OF HOSPITAL;
PLANS LATER TRY
GRANTS PASS, Ore.. July 36. Pi
Adam Zlegler, awakened from 17
hours of deep sleep, hobbled this
morning from a Eureka. Calif., hos
pital to a Son Franclsco-bound bus.
The Redewood highway marathon
runner who attempted to break tr.e
ten-year record set by Flying Cloud,
an Indian, had made good on only
one of his beasts 'I'll keep running
to Grants Pass until I drop." He was
over 190 miles short of even reach
ing his goal, much less cutting the
Indian's time by more than a day.
Still exhausted from 300 miles
running In five days, the 55-year-old
Austrian roused enough to say that
he would go back home, rest up, and
'.'beat tre record some other time."
He fell unconscious late Saturday
night, only ten miles north of Eu
reka. Physicians at the hospital blamed
his condition on Zlegler himself.
"Improper diet, not enough sleep,
and Improper conditioning" was th:
unofficial diagnosis. ,
Even though the runner had drop
ped twice before reaching Eureka, he
refused to rest on a bed prepared
Uiere for him, preferring to stand up
and to eat food of his own selection.
Similar experiences were related along
the line from San Francisco where
Zlegler was started from the city hall
a week ago Monday by Mayor Rossi.
Mad Bull, 1927 marathon winner,
and Flying Cloud, who set the 1928
record,, were In Grants Pass today
and heard the news that plans for
greeting the runner had to be aban
doned. LEWIS SCORES HIT
rOHASSET, Mass., July 26. (UP)
Sinclair Lewis answered seven curtalu
calls last night at his self-styled
"come-back" as an actor In a dra
matic version of his "It Can't Hap
pen Here."
Stepping to the front of the stage
In the drab concentration camp uni
form that he wore In the final act
of the play of a "Fascist America,"
Lewis told his first-night audience
of 400:
"This Ls a play, not a moral. We
don't want It to happen here. It's
not up to the president; It's up to
the people who hire the president-
Let's not have 'It happen here. "
Lewis, .who won the Nobel prize
for literature In 1930, went through
the entire two and three-quarters
hours performance aa Doremua Jes
sup, the Vermont editor, apparently
without missing a line and without
appreciable signs of nervousness. The
play was presented by the Souh
Shore Players at the Cohasset sum
mer playhouse.

SOCKEYE AND JOE
WIN TEAM MATCH
ON OPEN AIR CARG
The wrestling team of Sockeye Jack
McDonald and Polish Palooka Joe
Smollnskl smashed its way to vic
tory over Sgt. Bob Kenaston and
Flash Kelly last night in the open
air inaugural at the high school
stadium, winding up the most sen
sational grapple festival ever seen
here, by blasting Kenaston Into un
consciousness against the ring posts
The winning duo took four fal's
and the losers two. It was the flrt
team match ever staged In southern
Oregon i and the unanimous declar
ation by 1000 fans afterwards was
that it was the most thrilling thing
they had ever witnessed Inside
wrestling ring.
Kenaston was out cold for 10 min
utes after McDonald and Smollnskl
ended the brawl by using him for a
battering ram. With Kelly out of tlw
picture via a back-breaker, McDonald
grabbed Kenaston's shoulders and
Smollnskl gathered In his feet. Hold
ing Kenaston suspended horlzontil
with the canvas, the pair raced across
the ring and catapulted the Gold
HUler'a cranium against the cornrr
of the ropes. They backed off wttn
the helpless Kenaston and gave It
to him again in another corner.,
And that was the payoff. Kenaston
dropped to the carpet unconscious,
and didn't regain his senses for fully
ten minutes. When he finally camo
to. he was carried to the dressing
loom with a bump on his head the
size of an egg.
The McDonald-Smollnskl tandem
scored the first two tumbles after
about 12 minutes of wild brawling.
Smollnskl was about as useful to hit
partner as a baby, tagging after Mc
Jonald for protection and crying to
high heaven when Kenaston or Kelly
slapped a hold on him. Finally, Mc
Donald brushed the shrinking Smo
llnskl aside, picked up Kelly and
heaved him at Kenaston. The ma
rine went down and McDonald and
Smollnskl promptly pinned him with
a body press.
With Kenaston out of the rlncr,
Kelly lasted quick. McDonald grab
bed him. heaved him against the
ropes and belted him in the body
as he rebounded. Smollnskl, brave
now that Kenaston was missing,
duplicated the stunt and Kelly went
down for good.
Kenaston and Kelly came back to
even the count with stunning sud
denness. Kenaston grabbed Smollnskl
and Kelly got a stranglehold on Mc
Donald on the opposite side of the
ring. At a given signal, Kenastmi
and Kelly tore for the center of th
ring with the result that McDonald s
and Smollnski's heads cracked to
gether with sufficient force to drop
them to the canvas in a stunnod
condition. Kenaston and Kelly im
mediately flopped on top of the
felled gladiators to make the score
2-all.
The deciding tumbles followed In
short order. McDonald knelt on the
floor and Smollnskl, smothering
Kelly, picked him up and broke his
back across McDonald's knee. That
was all for the newcomer Kenaston,
left alone, managed to stave off thu
concerted attack of McDonald ' and
Smollnskl for five minutes, but tt
wasn't in the cards for him to beat
them both. He finally came to the
center of the ring and they turned
him Into a battering ram, with the
aforementioned disastrous results
to Kenaston.
Although the match 'was almost
unbelievably brutal, it had its light
touches. Several times Smollnskl,
so excited he didn't know what wp.s
going on. took socks at Mcdonald,
his teammate. Sockeye registered his
extreme disgust at the antics o
Smollnskl, and several times threat
ened to climb out of the ring and
leave the Polish Palooka at the mercy
of the other team. At other times
the quartet became so embroiled and
tangled up that nobody could tell
whose arms and legs were whose.
Promoter Mack Li Hard said today
that he would attempt to stage an
other team match next week; that
hundreds of fans had requested It
following the history -maker last
night.
In the Australian-system opener,
Ben n y W 1 lson , a newcomer from
Texas." used dropkicks in the sixth
round to take the deciding fall from
Alt Pasha, the turbaned and villain
ous Hindu. Pasha gained the initial
fall in the second round with a bear
hug and body press, with Wilson
coming back to even the score with
a head scissors in the third canU.
Wilson displayed a nice variety of
lean and legitimate maneuvers.

It ls amazing how closely local

For Instance, the oter day a pretty

who did we like In the Seattle brawl.
When we answered Hostak, the guy
got a funny look on his face and
hurried away. Five minutes later we

hedge on a wager he had made on
Hostak.
Another local gentleman who
Is noted for his astuteness In
picking prizefights collared us
recently and asked how we fig
ured the fight. Upon learning
that Hostak was our hoy, the
fellow's fare simply nidlated Joy
and good will. He slapped us on
the hack and laughted gleefully.
He was betting on Steele, he ex
plained. It seems that everyone wants to
know who we pick so that he . can

Arba Ager, Ashland third baseman,
wasn't exactly playing smart base
ball Sunday when he laid down a
sacrifice bunt In the ninth Inning
and his team 14 runs behind. By no
stretch of the imagination could Ar
ba's action be termed anything but
squlrrely, so far as heads-up baseball
Is concerned.
However, in tails case, Ager had a
perfectly legitimate reason for sac
rificing a couple of base-runners up
a notch, and nobody in Ashland
blamed him a bit for doing what, or
dinarily, would have brought booe
from the stands and much manager
ial wrath. Arba, going to the plate
for the last time In the ninth In
ning, had pasted the agate for five
nits In five times at bat until then
He had complied what all batsmen
long and dream for a perfect day at
the platter, and as Arba Isn't an es
pecially strong hitter the record was
extremely satisfying. '
Now. that sixth time at the plate
worried Arba. If he connected for
another basehlt all would be well;
he'd still have his perfect day. But,
if he didn't get another safety, the
perfect day would be ruined and he'd
have nothing to tell his grand-children.
He asked Manager Leonard Hall
to put In a plnch-hltter for him, and
the Llthlan skipper refused. He
pleaded, but to no avail. He didn't
want to bat for the sixth time, and
he wasn't ashamed to admit It. Flve-for-flve
perfect days are mighty few
and far between.
So, arter long and deliberate
thought. Arba decided there was
only one nay out. If he had to
bat, he'd do It, hut in such a way
that It wouldn't appear os a le
gal time at hat In the box score.
So, he went up there and dump
edneat sacrifice hunt In front
of the plate, saving for himself
. mighty sweet record of one
day's batting action.

for the world's middleweight boxing
championship fight tonight between
Champion Freddie Steele of Tacoma
and Challenger Al Hostak or Seattle.
Until the fighters completed their
training Steclo reigned a 10 to 8
and 10 to 9 favorite.
Because ooth men are heavy hit

Jack Dempsey, former heavyweight
champion of the world, who will

out In tho 11th or 12th sounds.
."All I've been doing ls practicing
how to count 10.' Dempsey said.
When you place two such tough
punchers in the ring, something is
bound to happen and fast."
Steele, 26 years old, who has been
fighting since he was 15, was confi

"I don't see how I can Jose." Steele
