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.

FOREST HILLS. N. T., Sept. 18.-
AP) Bobby Rtggs, the Chicago
minister's son, finally has won the
national men's tennla championship
and made good a promise to himself
of three years' standing.
He reached his goal late yesterday
by knocking the spots from Young
Welby Van Horn of Los Angeles, 0-8,
0-2, fl-4, In 68 minutes of endeavor,
Now all Bobby needs la somebody
to tell him what to do with the
fairest bauble of tennlsdom.
Bobby said last night he probably
would continue to play as an ama
teur two more years at least long
enough to defend his Wimbledon
and American titles next year. He
said his "five-year old plan" still
has two more years to run.
Alice Marble of Beverly Hills, who
won tle women's title for the third
time and gained permanent posses
sion of the gaudy trophy by defeat
ing gallant Helen Jacobs, 6-0, 8-10,
6-4, In their final struggle, doesn't
have the worries that beset Bobby.
Alice proved herself an able torch
songstress In one of this city's rich
est night spots last winter. Patrons
who didn't know she could play ten
nis liked her warbling. So Alice fig
ures to do more than all right. There
Is a report current she has signed
a 850,000 contract to sing on the
radio.

Louis-Pastor Fracas Draws
Little Interest In Wagers
By Sid Feder
DETROIT, Sept. 18. (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.

this work will drop off sharply during
the next 80 daya. During the past
month the active file of the local
