PAGE FIVE r Sport Graphs Billy Hulen eayt: Challenge Match To Climax Summer Golfing Program Although th Southern Oregon lorthem California tournament usually climaxes the summer season here, one more big event re- Clark g a in t Eddie Simmons and Oeorge Har rington next Sun day. It la a friendly match, with no champ 1 o n a h 1 p Itt Billy Hulen, nor trophy at stake, but members of the Rogue Valley Golf club are rapidly aligning themselves with their favorites, and It is rumored that considerably more than vocal wagers are being made on the outcome. Many members hold that Clark and Hammond, rich In experience, can defeat the youthful Simmons and Harrington, who bat tled It out In the finals of the big tourney over Labor day, and sup porters of the older pair are finding no scarcity of Simmons and Har rington backers. Both twosomes had the same Idea to mind when the match was ar ranged, for Hammond and Clark got together and Issued the challenge the same day that Simmons and Harrington held a confab and decided to proposition the former pair. It was Just a matter of which two spoke up first to become the chal lengers. It should be a great contest, and from the way other members are talking, a large gallery will follow them around the 18-hole course. "One of the bent professionals the club has ever had," Is the way members are speaking of Bill (Laddie) Selkirk, the patient Scotchman who teaches the an cient and honorable game at the Rogue Valley club, and who la bored untiringly during the Southern Oregon -North em Cali fornia tourney to help make It such a success. A pro of long experience, born In Scotland, the cradle of golf, Selkirk Is undoubtedly one of the main reasons why the local club has en- IV mama on thli l-7 : year'a golfing I slate the 38.

Msln near th bridge fnder man.ifement of F.arl aims Meanies STRELICH FACES JUAN SEBASTIAN IN F1RST-W1ATCH Belcastro and Tsakoff Unite Villiany for Brawl With Alvin Britt and Murdock In Four-Man Affair. Two tough guys Pete Belcastro and Tiger Tsakoff pool their nefari ous grappling talent In the Medford armory tonight In an attempt to take apart a pair of gentlemanly mat performers Alvin Britt and Paul Murdock aa Promoter Mack Llllard presents his first team match In three weeks. The two outfit will grapple and gouge for one hour, or until one duo obtains four tumbles. The feature attraction will get under way Imme diately following the opening six rounder between big Mike Strelleh and Juan Sebastian, figured to be a nice exhibition of wrestling aa it was originally written In the book. The program starts at 6:30 sharp, and an expected capacity crowd has been Indicated by advance reserved sest ticket sales. Two Long Absent Two of the msln event prlnctpsls will be displaying their wares before a Medford gallery for the first time in a long time, Tsakoff. the bulging. brutal Bulgarian having been absent from the local arena for over three years, and Murdock having been gone for six months. Tsakoff and Belcastro, both of whom are decidedly ahady charac ters, so far as the wrestling game Is concerned, are expected to furnish their clesn-grappllng opponents with many unhapy moments. Britt, although Inherently clean. has been known to kick over the traces when the going got tough, and pour the ' dirt right back In their faces. He can dish out considerable pain and agony to opponents with hi armbreaker over the ropes, when tne noxing commission's head Is turned, and It Is a cinch that no amount of underhanded work will bother him to any great extent. In the opener, Strelleh and Sebas tian, fast becoming top favorites here, clash for the first time, and those who like their mat activity on the up and up are expecting a sensa tional ouei. Although the good looking Spaniard will be outweighed considerably by Strelleh, he Is prob ably quite a bit faster on his pins and slightly more clever. CRATER PLAYERS OFF Cliff "Chief McLean and Tommy White, catcher and right fielder of Medford s Craters, were to leave for Portland today to spend the last week of the Pacific Coast league sea son working out with the Beavers. The Portlsnd club opens Its final seven games tomorrow against Holly wood. Both McLean and White are con sidered fine baseball prospects, and their trip to Portland will enable them to try out for berths In pro fessions! ball. White, a natural hit ter, batted .404 In the Southern Ore gon league race, while McLean fin ished with a 337 average. In America, has ever repeated . we pick Southern California to win the Pacific Coast conference, so it will probably be Washington or Cal ifornia . . . It looks like a rather unexciting pigskin season for Medford fans, what with the Black Tornado playing only Roseburg, Grants Pass and Klamath Palls here, although the latter frame will be somethln' and another encounter will probably be slated for Armistice Day . . . reason for the meager home schedule Is that the Tigers this sesson take to the' road for return engagements with Bend. Hood River and Eureka, which clubs all performed here last season . . . It would certainly help matters If Southern Oregon Normal could see Its wsy clear to slate a college gsme for Medford, although, to date. It looks like Eberhart ha entirely passed up this village.

AP) With but a third of the field In, and Mau rice J.; McCarthy, Jr., of Cincinnati, O.. leading with a par 73, a near cloudburst halted piny today In the first round of the 42nd annual ama teur golf championship. A heavy wind accompanied the downpour. U. S. Q. A. officials went into a huddle to debate what pro cedure to follow on completing the day's play. McCarthy, suffering so badly from hay fever he could hardly see, scored 37-36 to take a two-shot lead over the early pace setten, Harry Givan of Seattle, Tommy Taller, New York socialite, and Dick Chapman, Green wich, Conn. A half hour later with the rain still beating down In sheets, but with the wind abating somewhat. officials started the competitors off again through the downpour. ' ' OWTHI GTAAn National League w.

Second batttl of the title series will be staged here next Sunday with the Craters needing only one more victory to clinch their first pennant In over ton years. If Crescent City wins the second encounter, third and deciding game will be necessary. Held scoreless for six innings by the slow, tantalizing stuff of big Rslph Deo, the Craters flnslly came to life In the seventh frame to tally twice, then put over the old clincher In the eighth by belting the Crescent City rlgthander from the box and fin ishing up on Chub Howe for a total of five runs and the gall game. Turpln Goes Rout. Lyle Turpln hurled the entire bat tle for Medford, and although he was rapped for nine safeties, the same number his teammates collected, he allowed only one earned run. The Craters, believe It or not, committed 10 bobbles, with Rlney Cook, third sacker, booting five chances, Dick Lewis, shortstop, erring four times, and Cliff McLesn, catcher, contribut ing the loth mishap. Most of the er rors were on tough chances, however, and Lewis and Cook made up for their embarraslng plays by coming up with several spectaculsr maneuvers. Lewis handled eight other chances perfectly and Cook four. Because of those errors. Crescent City was out front by a 4 to 0 count as the Craters came up for their sev enth Inning licks, and a large dele gation of local John Q. Phans were agitating for something to hsppen. It did. Tommy White, first up, drew a walk, Lewis went to first on a field ers' choice when Crescent City tried to force White at second, and Ham- pel also got on by a fielders' choice when' he forced Lewis at second. Turpln helped his own csuse mightily by socking a double Into right field scoring White and Hampel. That made the score 4 to 3 In favor of Crescent City, but when the Merchants came back In their half of the seventh for another run on singles by Miller and Deo and Lewis' error, It looked plenty gloomy for the Crater cause sgaln. They were three tallies behind, with only two more heats to go, and some thing hsd to be done. Billy Calvert started off the eighth with a single to left. Msnsger Hof fsrd waa given a base on balls, and when Chief McLean lined single Into left scoring Calvert, Manager Roy Deo of Crescent city waved his brother to the showers and sent In Chub Howe, the young high school ngnthsnder. Tom Whit welcomed How with a two-bss smash to right, chsslng McLean and Hoffard over the plate and knotting the count at 8-all Lewis then scratched an Infield single, and Whit and Lewi both scored when Shortstop Loffer missed Cook's grounder. That mad It 7 to 3 for the Craters and wound up the run-making for th afternoon. Score First In Third Th Merchant tallied their first run In th third Inning on Fram sted's walk, a sacrifice and Lewis' error. They got three more in the fifth when ICIrby, leading off, waa Issued a pass, Framstd doubled to left and Cook and Lewi collaborated for three errors, with Lewis making a pair of th defensive mistakes. Manager Deo of Crescent City aald after th gam h might file a pn test concerning th eligibility of Welly Rlckert. The gam sparkled In spot with brilliant fielding plays, moat spectac ular being Manager Hoffard'a great thro to the plat In th eighth Inning to cut oft a Orescent City run.

Paul defeated Pittsburgh's league-leading Plratea, 6-4. yesterday. Frlsch. cardinal manager, sine the middle of the 1933 campaign, was handed his release before yesterday'a gBtne because.

While the Csrd couldn't mov out of sixth place, the defeat re duced Pittsburgh's lead to 3V4 game over the Chicago Cubs, who broke second-place deadlock with Cin cinnati by beating the Reds, 3-0, behind Bill Lee's four-hit pitching. The New York Olanta also wer whltewsshed, 8-0, getting only seven hit off Brooklyn's Luke Hamlin. Hank Oreenberg again eclipsed th nennsnt "race" In the American league aa he belted his 48th and 49th home rune while Detroit' Tiger took doubleheader from Chicago, 10-1 and 5-3.
