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

A hundred grand would be only
a fair gate for an outdoor ltghtwolght

this bout where two champion, are

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. Seeing
Kenaston was far from his usual
nen, omoiin&ai men moved in ror
the kill. He punched Bob alongside
me noodle a couple or times, then

he and McDonald picked Kenaston
up and prepared to use him for
human battering ram again.
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.

Promoter Llllard has two gentle

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

eye of any scoot at hts present

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.

When Oregon State played Uni

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.
