Sgt. Bob Kenaston's prayers have
at last been answered.
The big Gold Hill ex-Marine will
Monday night In the Medford armory
be teamed with a highly capable
partner In his grudge battle with
the wrestling tandem of Sochrye Jack
McDonald and Polish Palocka Joe
Smollnskl.
The partner Is Pete Belcitsra of
Weed, Cal. And. the Mad Italian
figured to be quite an Improvement
over Flash Kelly and Benny Wilson,
two guys who have failed to lend
Kenaston much help In a couple of
team matches with 8oekeye and Joe.
Heretofore, the Gold Hill pride
and Joy has been forced to .neet the
two villains practically single-handed,
and the results were not pleasant
Insofar as Kenaston's health was
concerned. Sockeye and the Pry look a
handed him terrific beatings on both
previous occasions. Now. nowever,
with the vicious and crafty Belcastro
standing shoulder to shoulder with
him. Kenaston sincerely believes he
has an excellent chance of turning
the tables and whacking Sockrye and
Joe good. t
The teams will scrap for one hour,
or until one tandem grabs four tum
bles. It is the feature event on the
program, which will be staged In the
armory after three weeks at the open
air high school stadium.
Bobby Chick and Benny Wilson
will open the card In a singles" en

and scores of

hasty glance at
Billy Hulen.
the batting aver
ages. It may not
bo composed of the best performers
in the circuit, it probacy Isn't,
but it Is our "cherce" for a gang
of softballers upon whom we would
stake our last copper against any like
club In southern Oregon.
So, let's forget friendship for a
minute, let the chips and possible
bruised feelings fall where they may,
and start ahootln'.
First, the pitching staff, and let's
name one other moundsman to keep
Earl Dale and Morris Steinet com
pany. Dale and Stelner, of course,
qualify automatlcaUy. They both
hurled sensational ball all season,
and one can't be selected without the
other. For that matter, there la little
to choose between them. Out. back
to the third pitcher. On all good
mound staffs there Is always a south
paw chucker, so let's place Kay Sing
ler, the portslder of Jennings Tire
company, on the mythical outfit.
He worked some fine games this
year, and with a stronger hitting
team behind him would undoubtedly
have copped more victories.
There were four outstanding
catchers In the circuit John
Smith or the Timber Products
champs, Boh Wilson of Wooden
Box, Don Hteuart of Jennings
Tire and W-ayne Kuhll of Plche.
With that quartet of receivers
staring us In the face, there Is
only one thing to do. And that's
to flip a coin. We did, and the
answer (a John Smith, regardless
of his wild-eyed base-running
activity.
First base Is almost as tough to
fill, what with Bob Smith of Timber
Products, Orvat Hampel of Wooden
Box. BUI Caples of Lamports and Del
McKee of Plche. all playing great
ball. Charlie Pltchett of Mald-Rlte
was also a sweet first-sacker and
powerful slugger, but he did not play
In all his team's games. Anyway,
let's give the initial cushion call to
Orval Hampel, a brllllftnt fielder and
slashing hitter.
At second base, there Is no ar
gument. It Isn't even rlose Cliff
"Chief" McLean of Timber Prod
ucts, league-leading hitter with
nn average of .477 and a sensa
tional defensive performer, wins
the berth hands down.
It Is fairly easy to select the out
standing shortstop, also. He Is Dick
Lewis of Timber Products, boosting a
season's batting average of 39$ and :
a pretty good defensive record Mai
colm Stlne of Wooden Box, Ra Lewis
of Catholic Men and Waytie Curry
of Plche were other top sho.t-patch
ers. but the Timber Products boy
surpassed them all.
Now, the third base post Is a dell
cate proposition. Lloyd Hammack of
Timber Products and Hale Greeman
of Wooden Box were good hot corner
guardians, but neither, in our esti
mation, were as good as Bert Luman
of Wooden Box, who didn't play third
base much this year, but who should
have. Luman spent most of his
time In the outfield, or back of the
plate, but aa our mythical outfield
and the catching post la all settled,
TliM
.1100 a
.11 So up

III pjj2i
Luman has to be placed somewhere.
He It a money player; he hit .394,
and It would be plain absurd to leave
htm off the club. So, he gets the
nod at third base, with our sym
pathies to Hammack and Greeman
that such a situation cropped up.
With Paul "Hoosler" Hoffard
of Wooden Box, Billy CaHert of
Timber Products and Merrltt
Hlttle of Jennings Tire, our
mythical outfield would
have speed to spare and
power to waste. Hlttle batted
.410, Hoffard .372 and Calvert
.368, and they can all get around
better than average. Hlttle,
especially, could carry the mall
for this writer any time he
chose.
That's them, boys and ghls, and
where could you Improve any? If
you think you can, we will be In our
office for Interviews from 4:10 to
4:13 a. m. every third Tuesday. So,
stay In line and don't shove, and
we'll get this thing straightened out
to everybody's satisfaction some day
maybe.
We have heard same talk around
town that Pitcher Lowell Brown and
Outfielder Tommy White of the Med
ford Craters are planning to Issue a
written challenge to us for a foot
race. It seems like the two boys
were put out no end when wo scrib
bled recently that they weren't ex
actly blessed with wings on their
heels.
At this writing, we have not yet
received the challenge, either verb
ally or In black and white.' Perhaps
the boys have given the matter more
serious consideration and decided It
might be wise not to display their
footracing ability Jn public again.
Anyway, their challenge would fall
on deaf ears or blind eyes, as the
case would be, because we have a
horribly sore finger and couldn't pos
sibly run them a race.

Scotch Grouse Slaughter
Is Most Expensive Sport
PERTH. Scotland, Aug. IS. (JPi Over a thousand Scottish moors, over
laid with peat and often covered with heather, wealthy British and
American sportsmen participated today In the most expensive sport In
the world.
Dawn brought the opening of
grouse shooting season It was esti
mated would cost 10,000,000.
King George VI, presently at Bal
moral Castle, Scotland, ana Queen
Elizabeth are expected to spend sev
eral days as guests of the American
financier. J. P. Morgan, who is enter-
1 talning a big party in hia Scottish
home at Oannochy.
The monarch haa rented two ex
clusive areas of waste ground for
his own shooting, the Clencal later
Galrnshlel and Micros Moors. Mor
gan customarily has five weeks of
grouse shooting a year.
Many hunting parties started before
daylight so the plump, red-brown
birds related to the American part
ridge or prairie chicken could be
rushed to London by airplanes and
fast trains and be served at luncheon.
Maybe next August. New Yorkers
will be eating grouse 24 hours after
they are bagged In Scotland, if regu
lar trans-Atlantic air service la ln
augrurated by then.
The grouse will bring six or seven
dollars each tn London stores today
and tomorrow, but next week the
price will be about a dollar.
Grousing Is an expensive luxury
reserved for a comparative fw. The
rental of a moor alone costs any
where from $500 to $35,000--usually
nearer $35,000 for the season which
ends December 0.
Many owners of moors large tracts
usually more or less wet, with peat
and often hearther get enough from
rentals paid by rich Americans to
live on the year around.
