Tornado Reveal
Rallying Ability
In Opening Game
One of the most pleasing points
In the Medlord high school foot
ball picture, noted by curbstone
quarterback Friday night when the
xii7Pr owned their 1030 season with
i 21 to II conquest of Weed, was
the ability of the Black Tornado
to get down to toucnaown
.hiii it wu Imperative.
Three times the Tiger elmply had
to manufacture point to win ine
h.u me. and three tlmea they
Pitched ud their brltchei and gen
crated sufficient power to get those
tallies. In short, the locals came
,, tuhlnrl twice at 0 to 6 to
make it 7 to 8 and at 7 to 13
to make It IS to 12 and then to
matters ther had what It
takes to break a IB-all tie with six
minutes to play and win the strog-
ale.
Naturally, ths downtown coaches
enjoyed their usual field day after
the tilt, and out of the mass of
eeoond-guesalngs, criticisms, praises
and general alrlnga of opinion, this
fact emerged as the most popular
consensus the Tigers still possess
that traditional Medford character
istic of being able to com up from
the rear and go on to win. uks
Medford teams In the past they
are doubly dangerous when th go
ing get tough.
So far as Bill Dowerman was
eonoerned, th Tiger turned In
a satisfactory first-gam per
formance, lie was neither over
Joyed nor down-ln-the mouth
at the Tornado's Initial exhibi
tion. He figured the boys showed
flashes of fine things to come,
but at the same lime he noted
many weaknesses which will
' have to be corrected If the
Tigers are to wad through their
killer schedule with more than
mediocre success.
Bowerman was pleased at th gen
eral defensive performance of the
line. He liked Newland'a punting,
.which averaged 40-plua yards In
five boots. He liked th ball-carrying
of Ike Orr, playing his first high
school grid game, and he was aat
lsfled with the operation of the
backs as a whole.
On th other hand th mentor
was far from pleased with the of
fensive performance of the for
ward wall. Ther waa very llttl
downtleld blocking, he pointed out,
thus working a hardship on the
backs, who several times found
themselves past the Una of scrim
mage but trapped by th Weed
seoondary,
' Concerning the play of Medford'a
Inexperienced ends, Bowerman said
they didn't do badly in light of
th fact that It was their first
prep game. He aald th tackles
were partly to blame for the yard
age Weed made on wldo sweeps
around the flanka, explaining that
the ends were forced to play In
close to narrow the apace between
them and the tackles, who didn't
shift correctly with the Weed of
fense. Mr. X. Plckem, world's foremost
grid prognoetlcator, was In his us
ual form on the wock-ond games.
Making his first appearance of the
' new acason, Plckom correctly called
the turn on one gam out of alx.
Some people might acoff at this
record, might even make of It a
hilarious Joke, but Mr. Plckem la
content with the thought that If
Weed had beaten Medford hta aver
age would have been fiero. As It Is,
the old percentage Is almost as
high as Lefty Oomes's batting aver
age. Nothing spectacular, under
stand, but , good, substantial .167.
Yea, that Mcdford-Weed game
ended as Plckem predicted, with
the locals on the long end of the
score. The other five "picks."
were not so hot. Not even warm.
In fact. Oonzaga didn't beat Wash'
Ington state. Portland u. was up
set by Montana State and the San
Diego Mnrlnea cracked Willamette.
Klamath and Franklin high of Port
land tied, Instead of th Pelicans
winning, and Ashland deadlocked
Yrrka. Instead of copping.

In Curtain Raiser Two
Upper Bouts Seen Rough
Oaorg (Wildcat) Wilson and Hans
(Hitler) Schuli come together In
the Medford armory tonight In one
of th wrestling "naturals" of the
yesr; a battle between a pair of
bug .but active matmen who have
yet to Buffer defeat In th local
arena.
Promoter Mack Ullard, answering
ths requests of scores of local fans
that Wilson be given the oppor
tunity to blast Bchuls Into oblivion,
ha slated the two gladiators for
th on hour main event. Th fea
ture attraction tops an all-heavy-welght
program, one of th first
ever to be presented her.
Newcomer In Action
Joe Smoltnskl, baby-faced Pole,
tackles Dav Levin, former heavy
weight title-holder, In the six-round
middle event. Starting th evening
will be Billy Venable. tn mean
bov from Texas, In action against
Stanley Mayslack, 320-pound Checho
slovakian from San Francisco. This
will be Mayslack's first shot at tn
grappl gam In southern Oregon,
and If reporta from tne nay aw
trict are correct he will prove a
popular muscle-mangier. He Is olean
and scientific, Llllard explained, and
a great crowd-pleaser.
Wilson, ths well-liked ana cepacia
ex-ndlron atar, has his Job cut
out for him against the Nar.1 ter
ror, who has calmly and easily de-
commissioned Taro I to and Joe
Smollnakl since coming her to
send spectators Into a frenzy of
hatred by his cruelty and high
powered foullngs.
Wilson comment
Wilson realizes Just what he will
have to contend with when he
squares off against Schulz, but he
has faced other mat maniac ana
more than taken care of himself
and he see no reason why Schulz's
special brand of dirty work ahould
be any different. Wilson knows he'll
have to absorb brutal punishment
such as halr-pulllng, eye-gouging,
kneeing and Illegal punchea. He Is
aware, also, that Schulz Is rugged
enough to withstand a considerable
amount of his own sonnenberglng
and flying-tackle maneuvera. But,
Wilson Is confident that, sooner
or later, the glgantlo German will
hit th deck from the effect of
the Wilson body smashes and this
Is th plan of attack oeorge has
mapped out. He will keep firing
until something caves In.
The middle bout, like the head
liner, should provide thrills and
chills for the clients. Smollnskl, de
feated by Schulz last week. Is snort
ing and fuming to finally win a
motch and he'll turn on the works
against Levin, a gentleman grap
pler. The cleanle versus meanle sit
uation will hold forth lrf this tussle.
The opener will feoture two scien
tific matmen In combat, as both
Venable and Mayslack care nothing
for roughneck tactics.

II RACE IN
NATIONAL LEAGUE
By Associated Press
The thermal status of the National
league pennant race has passed from
the boiling to the exploding point,
and when the Cincinnati Reds and
St. Louis Cardinals collide tomorrow
something Is going to blow.
A few weeks ago, Cincinnati's crit
ics said the Reds would have to
buckle down to stave off St. Louis.
They did winning 16 of their lat
20 games and seven straight up to
and Including yesterday's 11-3 tri
umph over Pittsburgh.
As a result the Cardinals, winning
13 of 15 games and likewise their last
seven In a row Including a 0-1 crush
er against the Chicago Cubs Sunday,
actually have dropped a half game
further In the last two wecka.
They must grab each of their re
maining games lour with Cincinnati
and three with Chicago to win the
pennant by a half game, should the
Reds resume their rout of the Pirates.
This la how they stand today:

Harry Leggett Pitches Med
ford To 5-4 Victory
Hoffard, Lewis Lead Bat
ting Assault On Crippen.
Paul Hoffard 'a Medford Craters
brought their 1939 Southern Oregon
leagua baseball season to a roaring
climax yesterday at Grant Pass by
defeating the Merchants, b to 4. to
win the third and deciding game
of the Shaughnesay playoff finals
and gain possession of the Dom Pro
vost president's cup, emblematic of
the playoff championship.
The victory, produced by the fine
flinging of Harry Leggett and the
hitting of Manager Hoffard and Dick
Lewla, topped a lata -season drive that
saw the Craters belt over Crescent
City In th playoff eeml-flnals. then
take two straight from Orants Pass
after dropping the first tilt of their
title series. Med for finished third
In the regular league pennant race,
while Grant Pass and Crescent City
ended In a tie for first place.
Game Clinched Early
The battling Craters landed on
their erstwhile nemesis Steve Crip
pen for all their five runs In the
first two Innings, then successfully
fought off a Granta Pasa rally that
fell one run short of deadlocking
the score In the eighth Inning and
threatened to tie It up In the ninth.
Leggett. smart righthander with
the sharp curve and change of pace,
waa In great form. He allowed 10
hits, but so tough was he In the
clinches that the Merchant were
abla to tally only In th first and
eighth frames. He fanned two and
walked one.
Crippen hung up 10 strikeout
and allowed eight hits, but the
Oratera bunched four of their safeties
In the first two innings to chase
acros enough runs to win. Three
Granta Pass errors also aided the
locals In their early splurge.
Rally Halted
With the Craters leading 5 to 4
In the last half of the ninth, Granta
Pass staged a desperate attempt to
yank It from the fire but Leggett
waa more than equal to the task.
Cook, plnch-hltting for Pennell, sin
gled to center and Lannlng sacrificed
him to second. Ostrom singled In
field, putting Cook on third, and
the tlelng and winning runs were
parked on the bags. Leggett came
through by forcing Joe Gray to pop
to shortstop and Gordon Howerton
to fly out to center, retiring the side.
The Craters hurriedly hopped on
Crippen In the first frame for three
runs. Pointer, leading off, drew a
base on balls, and when Catcher
Wood erred on Calvert's sacrifice
bunt Pointer went to second and
Calvert to first. Hoffard singled to
center, the first of three blows he
collected, and Pointer tallied. Tommy
White's sacrifice fly to left scored
Calvert. Lewis then singled Infield
and Hoffard crossed the plate.
After the Merchants scored once
In their half of the first on singles
by Pennell and Ostrom sandwiched
around an error by Hunter Dixon,
Medford oame right back In the
second heat for two mora runs and
the ball game.
Leggett Triplet .
Leggett exploded the fireworks with
a triple to center, the only extra
base hit of the afternoon, and scored
when Shortstop Ostrom booted Cal-

varfs smasb. Hoffard then whacked
hi second straight single to center
tnd Calvert aplked th plat. That
ended Medford's scoring as Crippen
tightened up and scattered lour hits
throughout the succeeding seven
frames, but those runs were suffi
cient.
For six inning th Merchants
couldn't do anything with Leggett's
delivery and It began to look aw
though that one run In th first
frame was all the Grant Passers
wen going to get. Leggett allowed
only two hits In that stretch, a
single by King and on by Oray.
Th Merchanta suddenly came to
life In the eighth Inning, bunching
four hits with three Medford defen
sive mishaps for three runs. Gray,
Howerton. Crippen and King rapped
successive singles to left field. With
Dixon. John Oltzen and Pointer com
mitting errors, the outburst manu
factured three tallies and chopped
Medford's lead to 9 to 4. but that
was all ths Merchants could do as
their ninth Inning uprising was
choked off.
