Newspaper Page TextL PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31. 1939. ggB II BOWLING BELCASTRO BEATS The third time was the charm for Pete Belcastro, and before a sellout crowd in the armory last night the wild Weed Italian hammered Hans (Hitler) Schulz to the mat, clamped on a bounc ing surfboard and took the lone fall of a grappling match staged with no referee in the ring, ex cept on occasions when the two gents broke the law by using strangle holds. It took Belcastro exactly 13 minutes to get his sweet revenge for the two brawls he previously lost to the German badman, and In those 13 minutes he handed out probably one of the worst beatings Schulz has ever receipt ed for. The Belcastro victory was the first scored over Schulz in southern Oregon and snapped the Hun's winning streak at seven straight. The two were slightly cau tious as the match opened, but it wasn't long before they start ed to slug, pull hair and gouge eyes. It was fairly even for the first eight minutes, then Schulz heaved Pete into the ringside clients and the fun be gan. Pete staggered back through the ropes and the German sent him crashing onto the floor again. Once more Pete attempted to return to the ring but Schulz barred his way with roundhouse wallops to the back of the neck. Suddenly Pete grabbed the Schulz cranium, placed his neck between the upper and middle strands of the ropes, and crossed them over. While the Nazi was hung there, Pete dealt out his misery, and when Referee Earl Yoakley finally managed to re lease Schulz from the noose, the German was in no condition to meet the Belcastro attack. For the better part of four minutes Belcastro hammered Schulz all over the ring, clipping him with right uppercuts and kneeing him in the face. When the time was ripe, Pete leveled him with a terrific hook, flopped him over and applied the surf board. Schulz was forced to give up and was unable to continue. In the middle event,' Cowboy Dude Chick defeated El Pulpo by giving him 15 revolutions of the airplane spin in the third round, the one fall being suf ficient. The bell twice saved Chick from losing a fall, as El Pulpo clamped on Indian death locks that were broken by the gong. King Kong Clayton, sensa tional Negro clennie, took two straight tumbles from Du';e Pet tigrove in the opener, using drop kicks, body flips and head-crackers in the second round nnd a potent wrist bend in the fifth. Clayton displayed a wide va riety of slick maneuvers, the best being his hend-cracker, In which he simply butted his own noodle against Pettigrove's un til the latter folded up. By an overwhelming major ity, fans voted to change the starting time of the matches from 8:30 to 8 o'clock. It was announced that next Monday night would be ladies' night.

I A large gathering of Rotarians and guests enjoyed a moving picture program as a feature of the regular luncheon meeting today at the Hotel Medford. A. G. Mott, chief of the valuation section of the California state board of equalization, presented the series of pictures in color, taken on his recent round the world tour by air. It was an interesting fact that Mrs. Mott has the distinction of being the first woman to make the air trip around the world on regular commercial air routes and Mr. Mott is the sec ond man to make such a trip. The Molts concluded their lengthy pilgrimage by airplane and clipper ships just before the recent war began. The colored moving pictures included aerial views of various countries and intimate views of interesting cities and inhabitants of scores of foreign lands. 10 KEEP HALLOWE'EN diet an Independent Finland," he asserted.

"Have a good time, boys and girls, and cavort with the spooks and hobgoblins to your heart's content. But do not destroy property or cause disturbances too serious for us to overlook, else the law will be forced to take a hand and spoil the party." This was the message Chief of Police Clatous McCredie issued to Medford's youth today as it prepared to break out the jack o' lanterns, tick-tacks and bars of soap for the annual Hal lowe'en activities. The police chief said no extra patrolmen would be placed on duty, but that the regular offi cers would be especially active and ready for any development. However, the chief explained, he didn't expect things to get out of hand and expressed the confi dence that everybody would i keep their celebration within bounds. Capt. Lee M. Bown of the state police said that several extra pa trol cars would be in operation on the Pacific highway and county roads to prevent obstruc tion of the thoroughfares. He added that he didn't expect se rious property damage to result from the meanderings of youth in the outlying districts. PLEATORTINLAND HELD VIOLATION OF eTRAUIYPOLICY (continued Irum page one) Helsinski, Oct. 31. (JP) On the eve of the departure of a Finnish delegation to Moscow with Finland's "final answer" to Soviet demands today, the diet hurried bills to passage which will give the government a clear hand in case of war. The diet's action appeared to bear out predictions in ttiplo matic circles that Finland's an swer to Russia granted few, if any, concessions. Livestock Portland Produce Portland. Oct. 31.

Ashland lookout home and tool house situated in the high country of the Scenic Loop drive. Ranger Lee Port was dispatched to the place today to ascertain whether anything was stolen. The burglary was reported yesterday by Winston Hotell, a lookout at Cinnabar during the summer, who was quoted as saying he noticed the place had been broken into as he was driving along on his way to his home in Ashland. Russia's aims were outlined by Molotoff as: "1. A free hand. "2. Continued neutrality. "3. Not to help spread war but to help stop it." "We hope we will be able to do it," he said in an 85-minute speech that stressed friendly Soviet relations with Germany and accused Britain and France of pursuing the war to protect their colonial possessions. United States Ambassador Laurence A. Steinhardt was ab sent, but the British envoy. Sir William Seeds, heard the bitter criticism of the Allies' war aims. Finland Rejects. Touching on negotiations with Turkey, which recently ended without agreement, Molotoff said: "Turkey has made pacts with Britan and France who are at war. We must take notice. It is not the same policy which the Soviet Union follows." Of negotiations with Finland, Molotoff disclosed Russia had I offered the Finns an exchange ui lerriiury, . aesignea 10 give Leningrad more protection, but Finland rejected the offer. "We are especially interested in the Gulf of Finland," he said, pointing out that Leningrad lies less than 30 miles from the Finn ish frontier. He denied Russia was inter ested in the Aaland islands, which lie strategically between Finland and the mouth of the Gulf of Bothnia.
