PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MATL TRIBUTE. MEDFOKD. OREGON," TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1938. OVER BELCASTRO T Pats Belcastro lost hU tint Med' ford wrestling mtcb of the year lut night In the armory when Paul Murdock, sending a huge ladlea' night crowd Into spasms of excite ment, clamped on his Alabama thun derbolt hold slter 37 minutes of the wildest milling Imaginable to take the lone fall of one of the most brutal and sensational matches seen here In months. Belcastro was unable to continue after having his head beaten Into the canvas by the thunderbolt maneuver, so today, the handsome and popular Murdock stands aa the number one grappler of the current crop. In other bout on the program, the moat thrilling In many moons. Buddy Knox took two straight falls from Leo Ksrllnko, a villainous Rus sian, and Monte LaDue grabbed two out of three tumbles from Charley Can In the opener. Murdock climaxed the w lid-eyed main event by belting Belcastro to the carpet with doubled up flats snd obtaining bis thunderbolt hold, af ter Pete missed fire with a vicious dropklck and struck the ropes. Until that moment, Pete waa way ahead by virtue of some of the dirtiest grappling ever dished out hereabouts, grappling that saw everything bap pen from mere eye-gouging to ft crazy battle outside the ring between the two wrestlers and Referee Earl Toskley. After Belcastro missed his dropklck and hung himself on the ropes, Murdock grabbed him by the hair and hammered him to the floor three times. With Pete helpless as a ' babe, Paul applied his thunderbolt and gave him the works, snd that was that. PetA was In no condition to continue after the rest period, Belcastro has been dirty before, but It Is doubtful If he ever went eo completely screwy as he did last night. At the 18-mlnute mark, he blssted Murdock from the ring, then picked up Referee Yoakley and toss. ed him overbosrd. Then, with the crowd In s panic, he climbed over after them and the battle was car ried Into the patrons. It took couple of oops and ft boxing com missioner to restore order. Another time, Pete tossed the ref out of the ring. Murdock tossed Pete out of the ring, snd Pete and Yoakley, who don't like each ether anyway, stood toe to toe and slugged. Pete pulled hair, gouged eyes, hit below the belt. kneed in the groin, choked, pinched. bit, and did everything else Ulegltl mate, but Murdock proved his tough' ness by taking It all and dishing out some of the same. The center attraction was another great match, with Knox taking falls in the second and third rounds with ft leg-breaker and body slime. Kar llnko, who reaemblea Boris Ksrloff snd whose ornrlness would put Frsnkenstcln to shame, proved to be Just sbout the meanest creature brought here by Llllard In several months. Horrible looking, his wrest ling wss even more horrible, and he made hundreds of bitter enemies by sis tactics. After Charley Oarr took the first tail In the aecond round with ft half- package In the opening match, La uue, me meanle Frenchman, came back to use leg-breakers In the fourth and fifth cantos to win the brawl, also hair-raiser. LaDue. uaual, employed the foulest of foul tactics, snd although the well-liked ' Carr put up a whale of a battle. he waa unable to cope with the . Frenchman's vicious attack and su perior weight.

'It's bod enough when ft tesm doesn't get base hits with men on bases," he declared. "It's worse when you osn't get even a fly ball with man on third waiting to score. That's the way we were almost all of the season. We hit Into too many double plays. What we have to have la somebody who st lesst can hit ball beyond the Infield.

SEEO CALIFORNIA no added cost Sport Graphs I Billy Hnlen says: Yanks Threaten . To Repeat Next Year With Youth With those mighty Bronx Bombers now enjoying the proceeds from their third straight world series vlc ' , - tory, moguls and I managers oi ev- cards with shak ing fingers, and wondering who or what can halt the Yankees from making It four 1 In a row next season. Right now, not even the most Billy Buleo. optimtBtlo baseball men can see any thing but another New York rush to-, the pennant and world champ ionship. Great baseball teams crack up mainly because of two reasons, either the playera drift past their prime and become old-timers. In the baseball sense, or dlssentlon wreaks Its havoc among star performers. In the Yanks- case, there has never been the slight est whisper of the latter, and the club, while not exactly a bunch of Boy Scouts, is neither a gang of be whlskered old men. So, with neither dlssentlon nor old age plaguing Bubbert's Rifles, It ap pears that only a miracle can atop' tnem rrom completely dominating the American league pennant race again next season, then blasting the 'luokles. National league champions In the fall classic. Col. Jacob Rup pert has been approached regarding the voluntary breaklng-up of the team through sale of the playera to other teams, but the beer baron has msde It pstnfully clear to other loop owners that he will do no auch thing. The team, on a whole, la right now In Its rlme. and appears to have several years of championship performance left In Its mechdpi.ni. Man for man the Yanks ere at the age where ball players are supposed to be at their peak, where they arc well-seasoned yet still young enough to retain the elasticity of youth. Goinjf down the hatting order which whammed the Cubs In four utralfthr games, we find Prank 1c CrosetM, shortstop. 27; Red Rolfe, third haw, 29; Tom my Henrlch. right field, 22; .Joe DtMngglo, center field, 23; Lou .Gehrig. flMt hase, 34: Bill Dickey, catcher, 30; George Selkirk, left . field, 30; and Joe Gordon, sec ohd base, 24. Only Columbia Lou .Gehrig, at 34. can be termed be yond his prime, and who knows but that' he may come back next season and enjoy his finest. The . rest of those regulars are at their ' very best hall-playing nges. Of the big three pitchers, Red Ruffing Is the oldest at 32, while Lefty Gomez Is 27 and Monte pear- eon la 28. They certainly should have plenty more ball games left In their systems. Joe Glenn, second string catcher, is 20, and Myrll Hoag, util ity outfielder, Is 30. Other Yankee employes are still in their 20 's or early 30's, so you can't expect the team -to come to pieces because of encroaching years. In our humble opinion, the only thing that can halt next year's team Is a. series of bad Injuries to key men. If- Dt Mag should break an ankle, say, and Qoraon. or Crosettl or Dickey suetaln hurts which kept them out of the lineup for a long time, some other club might have a fighting chance to nose tn.

IN HEAVY BATTLE TO GAIN YANGSIN SHANGHAI, Oct. 11 (AP) Artil lery thunder echoed through the Yangtze valley today as Chlneee and Japanese engaged In a bitter duel for hills around Yangsln, keypomt of southeastern Hup eh province plains protecting Hankow. The Japanese reported their forces were closing In on the war-time capital of Hankow from other direc tions, while the offensive was Inten sified against Yangsln. which foreign military sources called the most Im portant point In the present fight ing, since occupation would permit the Japanese to sever the railroad south of Hankow thus cutting off vital oommunlcatlon lines to Canton. The Invaders have spent 7T days since capturing Kiuktang, Yangtze river base 13S miles southeast of Hankow, In attempts to pierce the strong Yangsln defense lines. San guinary fighting was continued along a 35-mlle front while the Japanese have tried to effect aa encircling movement. Foreign military attaches estimated the Chinese have had 1.150.000 cas ualties and the Japanese 350.000 In , more than IS months of warfare. The Chinese reported they had sur rounded two Japanese divisions near Telan, 130 miles southeast of Han kow, and killed 10,000 Japanese. Japanese said, however, their forces were advancing "on all fronts" and that their three-pronged drive toward Hankow waa being speeded. BEFORE ELECTION SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 11.

The convicted San Francisco pre- peradness day bomber serving life In nearby San Quentin prison, last night dropped further appeal to the high est United States tribunal and de manded Gov. Frank Merrlam give htm an Immediate pardon hearing. In a telegram to Governor Mer rlam, Mooney accused the executive of declining for four yeara to act on his application for an uncondi tional pardon on the ground the case was still In the courts. - "You are hereby duly notified by me that all court actions in my be half are now concluded and no other court actions are contemplated,' Mooney telegraphed the governor. He demanded Governor Merrlam "grant me an Immediate public hear ing and render s decision on my application for pardon before the November 8 election, so that the people of California will have the opportunity of being able to express themselves on that day as to their faith or lack of faith In the merits of the services you have rendered to them as their servant. ' Five governors have denied pardon Applications during the 33 years Mooney has fought for freedom from conviction on what he called "fram ed" testimony. Just ARRIVED Y f : Ci h i -; i 'V "lT hi!
