JONES BROTHERS
FLATTEN BRITTS
IN GRAPPLE FEUD
Two-ton Tony Jones, big brother
at the Jones family, proved conclu
lively last night In the Medford arm
ory that he doesn't belong In the
wrestling arena. His place Is In the
pries ring.
For the second straight week the
311-pound locomotive unwound a
huge right hand from the nether re
gions and exploded It against the ex
posed chin of a member of the House
of Brltt, and for the second straight
week a Brltt bit the resin.
A week ago It was little Brother
noyd who drifted off Into slumber
land after being cracked on the puss
By Big Brother Tony. Last nlgbt, be.
fore a sellout house. It was Big
Brother Alvln Bfltt who went quiet
ly to sleep after a dose of the Tony
uppercut. About the only difference
In the two knockouts was that Alvln
.lasted somewhat longer than did
Floyd, the latter hearing tho birdies
In one minute and the former staying
in there for nearly 10.
Last night, Alvln did his dirty work
for the better part of 10 minutes be
fore Tony worked up sufficient anger
to level off. When he finally did,
though, It was all over In a hurry.
Blinded by Brltfs eye-gouging and
with his arm aching from several
breaker" holds over the ropes, Tony
at last swnng Into action when the
fans were beginning to wonder
whether he still had enough strength
leic to turn tne tide.
Tony grabbed Alvln with his left
Band, wound up like Dizzy Dean di
paring to split the center of the plate
wim a nign nora one, and connected
with Brltfs Jaw. Brltt went iova.
Tony pulled Alvln to his feet and re
peated tne procedure. Brltt went
down again. Tony hoisted Alvln to
mi pins and tossed another bomb.
This time he let Alvln lay there while
Referee Earl Yoakley counted him
out.
It looked like It was all over, but
. somehow the elder Brltt came back
to life and staggered to his corner
between bells. It was merely a pause
In Brltfs ultimate destruction,
though, for when the gong sounded
Tony wound things up In short ord
r. He simply waddled over to Brltt,
hauled him to the center of the
ring, and smacked him to the can
vas. This time, Brltt was out like a
light and the ref's count was only a
formality.
The Jones boys made It a clean
weep In their famlly-feud finale with
the House of Brltt, when Little
Brother Tuffy Jones slammed his
way to a terrlflo win over Little
Brother Floyd Brltt In the middle
vent. Floyd took the first fall In
the first round with eve-souma.
chokes, halr-pulllng and arm-breakers,
and for nearly two more heats
subjected Tuffy to an unmerciful
drubbing.
In the third round, however, Tuffy
began to operate In great fashion,
and Brltt hollered "when" to save
his back being broken like a match.
It was the old bear-hug, Tuffy's re
write. The match ended In the
fourth round via the same procedure.
Baby Brother Mike Jones opened
the program with a two-atralpht-fall
Tletory over Spider Kelly. Mike took

figured to provide them with their
toughest opposition, until the second
semester has started, and AFTER
Ashland has lost three of Its star
players through the eight-term law.
In other words, all four Medford
Aahland district games will be play
ed after the Grizzlies have said good
bye to Charlie Warren, Everett Nance
and Buzz Roberson, whose prep ath
letic careers end with the close of
the present semester.
While the locals will be re

Grants Pass will he suffering
Just the reverse. For, according
to the slate, the Cavemen and
the Grizzlies' will clash three
times In district encounter dur
ing the present school term, and
BEFORE Ashland loses Warren,
Nance and Roberson. Thus, the
Cavemen will be forced to tangle
thrice with Ashland while the
later Is at full strength.
Ashlsnd's first semester ends Jan
uary 31, and until then Warren,
Nance and Roberson. eight-termers
now, will be eligible for district com
petition. The Grizzlies and Cavemen
play on January 13, 10 and 30 all of
those games occurlng during the first
semester. Ashland and Medford don't
start thler four-game fuss until
January 37, after the three Grizzly
playera have hung up their Jerseys for
good. From this corner, It looks like
mighty Important bresk for Mod-
ford, even though we would pick the
Tigers to win the title again re
gardless of whether Warren, Nance
and Roberson were available to Ash
land the entire season.
There Is no chance, however,
that the eight-term ruling will
be revoked or amended this year,
according to Principal L. B. May
fleld of Grants Pass high school,
one of the representatives of the
Oregon high school athletic asso
ciation legislative council, which
handles such matters. Mayfleld
explains that amendments must
be proposed at least one month
before the council meets, and
that, so far as he knows, no such
proposal to change or eliminate
the ruling has been made. The
council meets In Portland, De

Pro-Sport Attendance Rise
Outstanding Trend of 1938
By Henry W. Barker
NEW YORK, Dec. 20. (AP) The striking Increase In attendance and
Interest In professional sports, particularly pro football, was singled out
today as the outstanding sports trend of 1938..
More than W separate trends were i...,,.-,-.,
noted by the 70 sports editors par-
tlclpatlng In the eighth annua! As
sociated Press sports poll but the
main emphasis waa placed on the
growth of professional attractions
with pro football as the bell-wether.
Better showmanship was credited
with at least a share In the upward
move In attendance not only for
football and racing1. Rules changes,
It was noted, had speeded up such
other games as hockey, basketball
and college f oat ball with beneficial
results at the b-x office. A sharp
Increase In the number of women
fans helped baseball attendance and
both baseball and football were aid
ed by the Increase In night games,
- Oddly enough the general attend
ance rise In spectacular sports has
been accompanied by a remarkable
growth in such participation sports
ss skiing, skating, bowling, badmin
ton and soft-ball although one ob
server thought the last-named sport
was on the downgrade.
A long series of trends, largely
technical, were noted In football, eft-
peclally the college brand. ' Among
these were the trends toward heavier
scoring, more field goals, greater use
of the forward pass as a consistent
gainer. Increased use of side -line
punting, a sharp let-down In lateral
passing and ot::er forms of "razzle
dazzle" In favor of less risky offen
sive maneuvers, and heavy Increased
use of the reverse.
Although one observer felt there
was leas recruiting and subsidizing
In college football, others remarked
cn a general casing of the official
bans on such practices. Several made
point of the tremendous growth
of six-man and ISO-pound football
as well as Increased Interest In the
high school brand.
BILL LEE OF
IS
NEW YORK, Deo. 20. (AP) Wil
liam Crutcher Lee, Jr., strong man
of the Chicago Cubs, was the lead
ing pitcher of the Natlsnal league
last season, official figures released
today showed.
The big righthander led both In
percentages with .710 and In earned
runs with an average of 2.66 per
nlne-lnnlng game to dominate the
circuit's mound corps as completely
as Carl Hubbell of the New York
Qlants formerly had done.
Lee turned In the most victories,
22, against nine defeats, had the
most shutouts, nine, and tied for
starting the most games, 37.
Four of his shutouts came in suc
cession between September ft and 23
equalling a venerable league record
held by Ed Ruelbach of Chicago and
Grover Clevoland Alexander of Phil
adelphia. Lee appeared in a relief role seven
times and pitched a total of 201 Inn
ings, second biggest load of any
pitcher. Of the 1,101 batters he faced,
only 281 made hits, 74 received bases
on balls and 10 sacrificed.
Worth noting too was the fact
Lee led the league In games won
and lost In 1033 and tne Cubs won
the pennant Just as they did last
season when he reached the cop
again.

Members of Uogue Snowmen have

work In improving the slope will
probably be done this week-end, It
was stated by Harold Larsen, past
president of the Snowmen.
"The Idea is to have a practice
hill that we can get to quickly," Mr.
Larsen explained. "The slope we have
cleared and otherwise Improved
should provide a nearby place for
practicing when It Is covered with
eight to 12 Inches of snjw."
There Is no snow on the hill now
but usually by January It Is covered
by a sufficiently deep layer to pro
vide good skiing, Mr. Larsen related.
