MEDFORD MATTj TRIBUNE, MEDFOBD, QREGOy, MONDAY, "AUGUST, 29, 1938.
Sockeye Will Choose Belcastro Tonight for Battle With Gloves
WOULD SLUG IT
OUT WITH PETE
Will Demand Fight After
Wrestling Strelich In Mid
dle Event Pete To Face
Kenaston If Able.
Although Pete Belcastro, Weed's
Mad Italian, could not be reached for
statement today regarding the de
termination of Sockeye Jack McDon
ald to make him put on the boxing
gloves In the Medford armory tonight
and fight it out, everything Is , In
readiness for a 10-round brawl be
tween the two ex-puglllsta should
Belcastro accept the challenge.
. Promoter Mack Llllard contacted
members of ths Medjord boxing com
mission and stated that It was OK
with them If Pete and Sockeye de
cided to settle their differences with
eight-ounce gloves. An attempt was
maue to get In touch with Belcastro
at Weed, Csl., at his home, but the
villainous grapplar could not De
found. Llllard said Pete was probably
out In the woods checking over his
bunting grounds for this fall.
According To Rules
Although the boxing commission
gave Its consent to the battle, it
Btressed the fact that It must be con
ducted strictly according to official
Marquis of Qyeensbury rules. There
fore, It was decided that the fight
would be scheduled for 10 rounds,
with regulation weight gloves, a ref
eree and probably three Judges. Pro
moter Llllard was today lining up the
officials, and It was believed possible
that Fried Erlckson, member of the
commission and an experienced ref
eroe, would be third man In the ring.
McDonald, blazing with anger over
two wrestling defeats at the hands
of Belcastro, msde known bis inten
tion Saturday of forcing Belcastro hj
to a fist fight. He purchssed a set of
boxing gloves and stated ha would
take them to the armory with him
tonight and demand that Belcastro
fight It out adding that If Belcastro
refused he believed fans here would
boo the Italian out of town.
Mat Card To Oo On
Promoter Llllard said there would
be no cancellation of the originally
scheduled wrestling card, which
placed . Belcastro and Bgt. Bob Ken
aston In the one-hour main event,
McDonald and Steve Strelich In the
middle event and Bobby Chick and
Juan Sebastian In the opener.
McDonald's plan Is to finish bis
own match with Strelich, then wait
In the ring for the appearance of Bel
castro and Kensston for their main
event. When Belcastro climbs through
the ropes. Sockeye will approach him
and demand that ha put on the
gloves and slug It out. Impressarlo
Llllard explained that the main event
between Kenaston an'd Belcastro
would positively be staged If Belcas
tro was still in good condition fol
lowing his fight with McDonald, If
he fights. However, It Is doubted by
many fans whether Belcastio will be
able to stand up after ha fights Mc
Donald let alone take on' Kensston
In a one-hour wrestling match.
Both McDonald and Belcastro have
had more than a little boxing exper
ience. For several years McDonald
earned his bread and butter with the
gloves In and around Seattle, meet
ing such men as Rosonbloom, Young
Plrpo, Pred Lenhart and Leo Lomskl.
Beloostra, a second-rate pugilist be
fore he turned to the mat game, has
had two boxing battles with other
wrestlers here In Medford. He knock
ed out Gene Moore In two rounds
several years sgo and belted Las
Wolfe Into slumberland In thre
heata a short time later.
Although McDonald will be forced
to engage In a tough wrestling match
before he can accost Belcastro, he s
supremely confident he ran wallop
the daylights out of the vicious and
vlllainoua Italian. "He aint nurt
me," Buckeye almost ahouted Satur
day, "and I know I can hurt 11m
plenty. Pete hss been popping off
about how tough he la, and I plan
to offer him the chance to prove it
If he refuses, he win show his true
color snd 1 expect the fans to boo
him out of town."
McDonald ha tea Belcastro because
he believes Peta fouled him unmerci
fully in the two grappling matches
he lost to the Ctillfornlan. "I have
been to the doctor twice alnos the
last match," MoDonald explained,
"the result of being kicked In the
groin Just before Belcaatro pinned
me with that surfboard. I nave stood
for his repeated routings and brag
ging Just long enuogh. Now'l am ro
ing to settle things with him 'or
once and all. I'm going to knock htm
kicking, If ha Isn't afraid to fight."

Yesterdsy's Results
At Medford 13, Crescent City 7.
At Olsndale 3, Oranta Pass 11.
, Medford's crashing Craters cata
pulted themselves Into a tie with
Grsnte Psas tor the second-half
Southern Oregon league champion
ship yesterdsy as Orvsl Hampel ham
mered out a brace or home runs and
Billy Calvert and Rlney Cook each
alugged round-trlppers to pace the
savage 14-hlt attack which routed
Crescent City's Koll-leas Merchants,
13 to 7.
Austin Prszler, president of the
Medford Athletlo association, jaid
today that Fred Roper, business man
ager of the Oranta Pass Merchants,
would come to Medford today to meet
with local officials regarding the
playoff game between the Craters
snd Merchants for the second-half
championship. The game will bo
played next Sunday, either here or
In Oranta Pass. The winner will play
Crescent City, first-half champions,
for the circuit pennant.
Record Crowd
A record-breaking crowd. Jamming
both grandstands and hastily erected
temporary bleachers, saw the men of
Paul "Hooser" Hoffard clinch the
contest with two five-run outbursts
In the second and third Innings, then
add a pair more for good measure In
the seventh. With Lefty Mike Roll,
Merchants' star hurler, registered at
the University of California and un
able to play semi-pro ball after
aohool start in accordance with Pa
clflo coast conference rules, the C la
tere climbed aboard Warren Howe,
young high school righthander, for
seven runs and nine hits In the first
two Innings and finished off on his
successor, Righthander Ralph Deo,
with five tallies on five hits In five
Innings.
Lyle Turpln, youthful righthander
from Klamath Falls working his first
gsme for Medford, went the whole
route. He wsa touched for 14 hits.
but after a shaky start settled down
snd hurled greet ball for the last five
frames. Crescent City got six runs
In the first four heats, but from then
on was almost entirely at Turpln's
mercy. The nephew of Seattle's Hal
Turpln showed a blazing fast ball
and a beautiful knuckler. N
Hampel Sparks Hltfest
Hsmpel, the slender, left-handed
hitting first baseman snd league
leading batter, powered the Medford
clubbing attack. His two home runs
and a single In three trips to the
plate drove In five tallies, and he
scored three himself. His first circuit
wallop came In the second Inning
with Lewis on base, he singled sharp
ly to center In the third Inning
scoring two runners and his second
homer came In the seventh with the
basee empty. Cook's four-base drive
followed Hsmpel's In the seventh, and
waa socked to the same field, right
center. Calvert poled his number
four In the third with Sakralda on.
The Merchants tallied once In the
first inning when Matson walked,
went to second on a wild pitch, took
third when Cook threw wide to flrat
after fielding Spann'a grounder, and
scored when Hampel bobbled John
ston's easy roller down the first base

Medford's jinx of never having won
from the Merchants on the local field
might be Btlll working.
Get Going In Second
But, It wasn't. The Craters found
the range on Howe In the second, and
when It was all over five runs were
in and the game was stowed away.
After White went out, Lew la singled
to left and Hampel bit his first bom
er, screeching drive to left-center-Cook
walked, Turpln singled to right
and Sakralda 'singled to center scor
ing Cook. Calvert singled to left and
Turpln dented the plate. Hoffard
forced Sakralda at the plate, then
Hoffard and Calvert pulled a double
steal, with Calvert scoring and the
manager going to second.
Bob Johnston, Crescent City catch
er, drove .a home run to right-center
to open the third, cutting Medford's
lead to S to 3, but the Craters came
right back In their half to aend Howe
to the showers and take a long lead.
White walked to start It and Lewis
beat out a hit to the pitcher. They
both advanced a base on a passed
ball, and Hampel again came through
in the clutch with a rousing one-base
blow to center scoring 'them both.
Hampel went to second on the throw
In, and after taking third on a short
single to right by Cook, first man to
face Deo, scored as Turpln bit Into
a double play. Sakralda got bit by a
pitch and Calvert laced his homer to
right-center. That made It 10 to 3.
. Crescent City came back In the
fourth with a three-run flurry to !
again draw fairly close, but that was 1
their final serious bid for victory, j
Singles by Miller and Matson,
Spann's double down, the leftfleld
foul line, and Johnston's single did
the business. The Merchants' only
run after the fourth frame came In
the sixth, when Johnston singled,
took second on a passed ball and
rang the bell on Deo's one-baser to i
right. j
Until Hampel and Cook slammed
their consecutive home runs In the
seventh, Medford went hit less follow
ing their big third Inning. Lefty
Miller, Crescent City first baseman,
hurled the final Inning for the visi
tors and retired the Craters on four
pitched balls.
Craters Give Support
The Craters gave Turpln brilliant
support In the field, Billy Calvert
handling 13 chances at second base
without a mishap and Dick Lewis
took nine attempts at shortstop
perfectly. In the flttii inning, Fram
sted tripled to left-center but was
out at the plate trying to stretch It,
Hoffard to Cook to McLean. In the
ninth Inning. Medford ended the
game with a snappy double play,
Lewis to Calvert to Hampel.
Medford's victory gave them an
even break In the four games played
with Crescent City this season, and
climaxed a determined drive to the
second-half championship, during
which Olendale was beaten twice,
Yreka twice, and Ashland and Grants
Pass once. Lone game lost by the
Craters during the second-half was
to Crescent City at Crescent City,
3 to 16.
