Box office men at the Hippodrome Informed Jacobs that the customers at last were buying tickets for the August 10 brawl. Their report waa so enthusiastic that "Uncle" Mike predicted a gate of at least ,100.000 for the Polo a rounds battle.

Hoffmann Use Mall Tribune Want Ads E PAIR PIN IN TEAM GRAPPLE The meanle wrestling team of Sockeye Jack McDonald and Polish Pa looks Joe Smollnekl made It two straight over Sgt. Bob Kenaston and company last night at the open -air high school arena, by walloping out four falls In the space of 47 min utes while holding tbe enemy score less. It was almost an exact duplica tion of the McDonald-Smollnskl win of Monday before last, when they whacked Kenaston and Flash Kelly Into submission. The only differ ence was that last night, Benny Wilson attempted to assist Kenas ton. whereas a week ago It was Kelly, and that last night the Kenaston duo failed to obtain a fall, whereas on July 35 they man aged to garner a couple. McDonald and Smollnskl, the cur rent number one brutes, went about their work In the same old manner. They punched and roughed It up until Kenaston and Wilson were unable to take It any longer. It was an extremely sad evening for Kenaston, who had hoped to avenge himself for the awful lacing he; received In the first team battle. Kenaston was the first victim of the McDonald-Smollnskl annlhlla tors, going out via a body press after Wilson had been temporarily sent out of commission with a McDonald dropklck to the whiskers. Sockeye and the Palooka ganged Sgt. Bob and pinned his shoulders to the Axmtnlster. With the Gold HlUer eliminated from the picture, McDonald and Smollnskl brought Into action their double-barreled backbreaker.. 1 Smo llnskl knelt on the canvas, patted hts knee and said, ."Here, Jack, lay him down ;:mtly." Sockeye grinned, picked up Wil son and pre n tended he was snapping a piece of kindling across the Pa looka 's projecting knee. After being slammed down with enough force to snap a baby Redwood tree, Benny the Texan was ready to call It night, for awhile. After a two-minute rest, the gladiators- returned for the final two tumbles, which occurred 30 minutes later. They milled around, getting In ludicrous entanglements, then Wilson grabbed Smollnskl from behind and Kenaston startsd ham merlng on the Palooka's unprotected stomach. McDonald, seeing the sad plight of his teammate, retreated to a distant corner, then blasted across the ring and fired a tre mendous dropklck. It landed squarely on Kenaston 's back and toppled the Sergeant, Smollnskl and Wilson to the carpet. Wilson was underneath and Referee Earl Toakley counted him out. Bo again, like last week. It was Kenaston left alone In there with a couple of bozos who don't like him much. Smollnskl, who has always been loathe to mix It with Kenaston, motioned for McDonald to take things In hand, which McDonald loves to do. Kenaston and Sockeye slugged toe to toe for a few seconds and finally Kenaston sunk wearily to the floor after being clipped with a right hand to the button.

Wilson, outside the hemp, couldn't stomach that, and as McDonald and Kenaston charged across the ring preparatory to knocking Bob's brains out against the ring post, the Texan roared back onto the battle field and lashed out with a dropklck. All three went down. In a heap, and In the ensuing mlxup, Smollnskl managed to scramble outside the ropes. Mc Donald squared Kenaston off all by himself and hammered him Into the ropes, where Smollnskl grabbed him by the hair and held htm. Sock eye then swung a tremendous punch to the Jaw and Kenaston went to the floor for keeps. In the opening bout. Flash Kelly took two straight falls from All Pasha, gaining the first In the second round on a foul when the Hlndo kept punching low, and the next In the third with a body slam. MOW THEY?

Sport Graphs t Billy Hulen says: Mad Italian , Returning to Medford Monday Sound, the trumpets and bang out the flags, ye wrestling faithful, for Pete Belcastro, the Mad Italian of Weed, Calif., is coming home. Next Monday night Is the date tentatively slated for Pete's first showing here In over a year, and loud will be the rejoicing among fans the length and breadth of the Rogue River valley when, the crazy-flsted, wild eyed son of Italy o r a w Is through Billy Hu.cn. the hemp. For over a year. Belcastro has been touring the middle west, east and south, and according to frequent! letters received from him by Pro moter Mack Llllard, he has been enjoying great success. He will ar rive here next Saturday from Tulsa, Ok la., his last place of activity. ' A Living - Breathing COOLEST SUIT PM m) FOR T U0TTCST monTHS Promoter Llllard has two gentle men In mind as possible opponents for the Mad Italian Sockeye Jack McDonald or Sgt. Bob Kenaston. Either one, Mack believes, would prove a good, tough enemy for Fete. We heartily concur In that belief, although our first choice would be McDonald. Tou know, because of the blood that would be shed, and AIL If It weren't for Ancient Al Dro- lette, .Grants pass catcher. Med ford 's young Tommy White might hold the unwanted distinction of being the heaviest-footed pastlmer In the Southern Oregon league. For a youngster of Tommy's natu ral ball-playing ability and profic iency In other sports. It Is amazing how long he runs In the same spot. He apparently has fine muscular co ordination, but he Just can't seem to make his feet take blm where he wants to go In a hurry. It Is probably an exaggeration to compare . him with Drolette, who couldn't get to first base under seven minutes If the pennant de pended on It, but Tommy Is cer tainly far from being the fleetest runner In the loop. If he were to race any other member of the Crater club, our money would be on Tommy to place. Bill B overman, Medford high school roach nnd a plenty Kmart track man, thinks he can Inject some speed Into the White shanks. He says that Tommy Is probably running In simply ter rlble form, and that a few point ers augmented by actual work outs should Increase his swift ness considerably. That Is OK with White, because he realizes professional baseball players must do a little running now and then, In addition to hitting and throwing, and that he stands Fabric...

While on the subject of running, Dick Lewis and Billy Calvert made Lowell Brown very unhappy last week In a couple of foot .races. Brown, a sweet pitcher but left handed, made the crack that he waa probably the fastest player on the Medford roster. Lewis and Calvert, speed-burners, didn't relish sny left handed pitcher believing any such thing, and took up the challenge. Calvert, first to go to the post with Brown, beat htm by about 30 feet In 130 yards. Lewis, with a half buck up on the . outcome, breezed In with plenty of daylight to spare In the second race. Lowell grinned and said he would confine his base ball efforts to pitching and hitting from now on. Ernie Johnson, former Port land Beaver manager, and pres ent scout for the Seattle Ral nlers, likes the looks of Leonard Patterson. Aftlilanrt f.lthlftn anil Oregon State college flrst-sacker. When Oregon State played Uni versity of Washington In Seattle this spring, Johnson, told Patterson the Ralnlers would like to have him try out after his graduation. He com plimented Pat on being the most promising first-baseman In the col lege circuit. Joe Gray, Oregon State outfielder, was another college performer who took Johnson's fancy, Patterson says.
