Buckner reported AI Hoetak of Seattle, shattered two email bonea In bis left hand and badly bruised his right hand In losing bis middle weight championship to Solly Krie ger of New York In a lS-round box ing battle here last night. Dr. Buckner said Hoatak's general condition was good and that the dethroned tltllst would leave the hospital this afternoon. By FRANK O. GORRIF. SEATTLE, Nor. 3. ( AP) Solly Krieger, a scowling bomber from Brooklyn who fights like one of those men from Mars, was the new middleweight champion of the world today, after beating Al Hostak so savagely he sent the Seattle Slav to s hospital, blinded, paralyzed and without the use of one arm. Krieger. the third man to win the middle title in a Seattle ring in the last 28 months, fought a cagy, crouching battle and he chopped Hostak to pieces with left and right crosses before 0000 dazed and stun lied spectators. Al bsd been a heavy local favorite. Hostak Too Game Hostak was a dejected and broken battler when he left the ring for the hospital. He wss gams to the end too game for his own good- staying the full 16 rounds even when lie had only his right hand left for both offense and defense. When It was over his right eye was swollen shut, his left almost closed, his face bloody and gashed, and his left side welted and paralyzed and his hands badly Injured. Hostak was rushed to the hospital where Dr. H. T. Buckner reported, after a superficial examination, that bones In both hands were broken. Ftjlit Tour Off Dr. Buckner said Hostak would be unable to go In training again for at least three months. This was a big Jolt to the youngster because be had his baga packed to start a lighting tour of the country. By his slashing 'victory Krieger takes the championship back east for the first time since Freddie ' Steele of Taeoma gained the orown for the Pacific coast by beating Eddie (Babe) Rlsko In July. 1938 It was only last July that Hostak copped the championship with a one-round triumph over Steele here, and this was his first title defense. "It wss Just the breaks." said Eddie Marino, Hostak's manager, after the fight. "Al broke his left band In tho second round and his right In the seventh. The boy didn't have a chance." Krieger Also Marred Krieger, his nose puffed out. his right eye swollen snd a lump the size of your fist behind his left ear. said his only worry was whether he could go the 18 rounds. "I weighed 173 pounds a month ago and It wss hard making the 180 pound limit. I'm nervous, groggy and shaky, but I don't care I'm the champ." The Associated Press score card gave Hostak the fourth and eleventh rounds, showed tho first, ninth and fifteenth even, and gave the other ten to Krieger. There was only one knock down. Solly dropped Hostak to his knees for a no-count fall with a left to the Jaw In the 14th. Hymle Caplan. Krlrgrr's mansger. said 8olly would risk his title only at Seattle, as he had signed a con tract with Promoter Nate Druxman CLUB TO START The first of the rcular winter trap and akeet shoots will be held at the Medford Oun club on the airport grounds Sunday at 10:30 a. m In which the club has, sa usual, Invited the public to participate, All of traps have been put In first-class order and the stove set up In the club, hous,- so a pleasant and oomfortable shoot la assured.

(P For t sports, Jimmy Foxx today was ae valuable player In 1938 by a land association of America. Considered on the downward trail a year ago, and bothered all last summer by a sinus condition that made the game anything but pleasure day after day, the likeable "Double-X" not only stayed In there for 149 games, but dynamited his way to the batting and runs-hatted' In championship of the league. It was hla big hat. above all else. that enabled the Boston Red Sox to finish In aecond place In the Junior circuit campaigning after their pitch Ing staff fell apart. Thus, Jarring Jimmy, who polled 305 points of a possible 330. becomes the first player to win the most valuable award three times during his career. Aa a member of the great Philadelphia Athletics team a few years ago, he won the award In 1933 and repented In 1933, when he batted .375 and .356, respectively. This year. his 14th In the Amertcan league, the 31-year-od husky from Maryland's eastern shore hit .349 and drove In a near-record total of 174 runs. Jimmy was named first for the most valuable player award by 19 members of the 34-man Writers' voting committee, who polled their ballots tinder a new point-scoring system this year. Each writer se lected a most valuable list of 10 players, ranked In the order he rated them. A first place nomination re ceived 14 points, aecond nine, third eight, fourth seven, etc. In addition, each writer selected an additional honor list" of 10, which did not count In the voting. Every member of the committee put Foxx down on hla moat valuable list. Earl Averlll. Snohomish, was eighth with 34 votes: Jeff Heath. Seattle, eleventh, with 34 and Joe Gordon, Eugene, twelfth with 33. The only others to receive first- place selections from the writers were the world champion Yankee' top battery mates. Belting Bill Dickey snd Big Charley the Red Ruffing Dickey received three nominations, and Ruffing two. Dickey's first place votes, together with 11 second place ballots, two each for third, fourth, fifth snd seventh, and one for sixth, gave him second place with 198 points. Ruff ing was fourth with 146. In third place, the writers selected Big Hank Oreenberg, Detroit slugger who failed In his bid for a new nil -time home run record after wal loping SB four-bagpera.

Name .-- REINHART & BARKER "MedfQid's Arrow Shirt Store" Sport Graphs ... Billy Hulen says: Pete and Sockeye Demand a Rematch With Each Other It'a a peculiar situation, one that probably wouldn't happen again In a year, but Mr. Mack UUard. muscle mangling maes tro, reports that he is being har ried and harassed no end by two of hla wrestling go rillas, each with the same de mand. The two grappling gentle men are Sockeye Jack McDonald and Pete Belcas- tro, and Llllard assures us that both guys are so - insistent they be WUy Hulen. spotted agaln8t each other next Monday night that they have practically beaten his re sistance to a pulp. It Is a strange occurrence when two wrestlers have th& same Idea about anything, and what makes this situation so out-of-the-ordlnary is the fact that both Sockeye and Pete are literally straining at their respective leashes In an effort to get in the ring together. Most always, when grapplers are rematched. It Is only one party who demands the re turn go, with the party of the sec ond part usually being only luke warm to the proposition. If at all. In this case, Pete and Sockeye are both wild-eyed with anxiety for an other match, which is peculiar but logical. Belcastro, Mack tells us, wants to tackle the ex-logger for two rea sons. The first, and probably most Important, is a flaming desire for revenge. It will be- remembered that the last time Belcastro and McDonald faced each other in the local arena, they did so with boxing gloves en casing their huge fists. It Is a mat ter of history that McDonald blasted the Mad Italian Into dreamland in two heats, a right smash to the chin doing the business. Pete hasn't forgotten that beating, hence his all-consuming ambition to again col lide with Sockeye, on the wrestling mat. Pete'a second reason, Llllard ex plains. Is founded on the happen ings of the past two weeks, when Mr. Belcastro has been forced to ap pear In middle events Instead of top squabbles. A vain person, who believes there Is no other wrestler in the world but himself, Belcastro has therefore suffered a terrific loss of face these past two Monday nights and he wants such business stopped. By getting a crack at McDonald. Pete knows he will be In the top spot again, because a Belcastro-Mc- Donald bout couldn't be anything but tops on any program. As for McDonald, his craving to clash with Pete is also born from a powerful desire for revenge. In the two weeks preceding the now-famous prizefight between the two, they wrestled it out, and Sockeye Is sad dened to recall that Belcastro wal loped him twice hand running. Fol lowing those two grappling setbacks at Pete's hands. Sockeye forced the Italian to put on the gloves with him, thereby getting some messure of revenge. However, Sockeye still honestly believes he can lick Pete at wrestling, and will never be satis fled until he proves it. Hence, the big ex-logger's demand to Llllard that he and Pete be tossed Into the arena toge'her next Monday night. So, If all that hasn't the earmarks of one of Medford's greatest grap pling "naturals," we wonder what It takes. Pete, aching with the desire This Weeks Games Can You Pick the Winners A PRIZE!

In speaking of the chances the two fretting grapplers will headline Monday's program Maestro Llllard said today he didn't see any reason why such s rematch couldn't be ar ranged. With both huskies clamoring for the thing, and fans also putting on the pressure, Llllard remarked that he could probably definitely an nounce the match tomorrow. "It's a 100 to 1 shot they will be in there Monday," Mack said with a smile, the' smile undoubtedly being caused by the thought of what a sweet business the box office will do if the shindig is slated. Next Monday night's plans call for a couple of old favorites to make their reappearance. UUard said They are Cecil McOlll, the brilliant Ca nadian with the blazing dropklck, and Bobby Wagner, also a clean and scientific workman of the first water. Who they will wrestle is not known, but Mack said they would definitely be on the card. Frank le Schroll, he of the new horror hold the crocodile clutch will be back again, displaying his sparkling legitimate tactics, and probably Buddy Knox, the spectacu lar Mlsslsslpplan, will complete the program's personnel. However. Mack said, somebody else might be . here instead of Knox, preferably a vlllian. 60 ANTELOPE KILLED IN LAKE CO. SEASON PORTLAND, Nov. 2.
