MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 18, 1939 AGE TWO Pole And Nazi Clash In Medf ord Armory Wrestling War Tonight SCHULZ SLATED FOR MAIN EVENT Levin Meets Wilson In Middle Battle Venable And Ito Open Card Top Go Promises Wild Action. Joe Smollnskl, a Pole, and Ham (Hitler) fichulz, a German, wage ft bitter wrestling war In the armory tonight; a war that la expected to be no less brutal than the violent conflict currently raging In Europe between Poland and Germany. They battle la the one-hour main event, and capacity crowd la almost cer tain to be on hand to tee for them selves just how a Pole and a nazl German conduct themselves in com bat with eaah other. In Europe, the crushing might of Germany's military machine has quickly hung Poland on the ropes, ready for the knockout, put no such situation Is expected In Med ford's miniature edition of the Pole-Nazi struggle. Schulz. the German, may defeat baby-faced Joe, the Pole, but there Is not a single grapple observer In town who believes that Schulz will conquer Smollnskl as easily as Germany has Poland. Smollnskt Favored Everybody here, male and female, grandpa and grandma, looks for Smo llnskl to stage a whale of a battle before bowing to the Hitlerite If he does. Many believe Smollnskl will re verse the European tables and slaughter Schulz, and this thought la held by Bmollnskl, himself. Joe Is utterly certain bo can whip the Ger man and he plans to was to no time In cutting loose with his most vicious attack. He figures Schulz will fold up when the going gets as tough as he (Smollnskl) can make It. Cool, methodical and loathe to waste time on Idle talk, Schulz has not made a public threat to Bmn llnekl's good health. In his first ap pearance here last Monday night, however, the German displayed a cruelness that caused fans to gnash their teeth and there Is no doubt in anybody's mind but that Schulz will attempt to make Smollnskl suffer plenty. I Both grapplers care nothing for! the scientific aspects of the gamo. They are strictly alley-brawlers and hating each other as they do should produce a history-making encounter. Ex-Champ On Hill A former heavyweight champion Dave Levin will make his first southern Oregon showing against Ooorge (Wildcat) Wilson In the mid dle event. Levin, 105-pound clean and scientific matman, Is one of the finest wrestlers In the game and is expected to offer severe competition to Wilson, undefeated here. Opening the program will be Billy Venable and Tnro Xto, the popular Japanese grappler, Bath are clean boys. ( Scores Yesterday National Lengue Boston 5-5, Cincinnati 8-3.

The title brawl goes to the Climate city because yesterday's at tendant fell below that at Grants Pass a week ago, when the Merchants took the first game of the series. 8 to 0. All year Steve Crlppen, Grants Pass righthander, had had the In dian sign on the Craters, but he was no mystery to the red-hot locals yes terday. They hammered him for nine hits and six runs In his five Innings of mound labor and when he finally retired to the showers, his Jinx over the Craters completely shattered, the Horrardmen continued their hoavy- shclllng at the expense of Chuck Oatrom, to the tune of five safeties and the same number of runs In the last three frames.

Singles by Lannlng, Oray and Howe rt on and an error gave Grants Pass three runs In the ninth. The gamo sparkled with great field ing plays.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18. (AP, -i-San PYonclsco football fans still couldn't boll eve It today, though the scoreboard read: St. Mary's of Texas 7, University of San Francisco 8. Some 10,000 sun-baked spectators saw the first "big league" game of the local season turn Into a startling upset yesterday as the under-rated Toxans pushed across a touchdown and conversion In the second period to edge the San Franciscans who wal loped them last year 31 to 0. The St. Mary's touchdown capped a 40-yard march on a pass and five line stabs after left end Paul Buch anan had pounced on a Don fum ble. Burren Brown, quarterback from Boaumont,- scored from the three and halfback Rene Mouton kicked the extra point.

(AP) For one reason or another either that Jot Louis la too top-heavy a favorite or Bob Pastor Is too dangerous a question mark to fool around with there wasn't enough betting today on Wednesday's heavyweight championship bout to cover a thin dime. Whether this timidity waa the fault of the odds or the bettor. the "price" for the tussle was large ly "rumor." It ranged, on the one hand, from the possibility that the former New York University footballer would be either one of the shortest priced punchers ever to tangle with the Brown Bomber, to the other extreme which made deadpan Joe a 1-to-B shot to knock Bob's ears down sometime along the scheduled 20 rcund route. In either case, the betting was about as active as a dish of cold tripe. The boys and girls were falling all over themselves keeping their "road money" in their pocket books. The chances were that the champion, rated off his compara tively recent short and sweet sleep producing victories over Max Schmellng, John Henry Lewis, Jack Roper and Tony Galento, would en ter the ring at something better than l-to-6 favorite over the one time collegian who went ten rounds with htm back in '37.
