Prince Mehalikis, Black Panther Meet in Main Mat Bout Tonight CLEAN GRAPPLERS EXPECTED TO PUT E Jackson Faces Sugal, Clem ens Battles Ernie Piluso In Preliminary Matches Prince Selakl Mehalikis and the Black Panther match their wide variety of aclentiflc grap pling maneuvers In the Med ford armory tonight as Pro moter Mack Llllard presents his regular Monday night program of torso-twisting. The pair col lide in the one-hour main event. Bulldog Jackson versus Don Sugai. and Frank le Clemens versus Ernie Piluso are prelim inary bouts lined up by the pro moter. A com will be flipped at 8:30 sharp to determine which of the above pair will open the program. Both these matches will be under the Aus tralian system of six 10-minute rounds. Scientific Maimeo It will be camel lock versus head lock when Mchaiikls and the aggressive colored boy come to grips In the feature at traction. The Prince relies to great extent on his payoff cam el maneuver, one of the game's finest pinning holds, while the Panther's most potent tactic Is a skull-crushing headlock. How ever, both are masters of every other scientific hold and it is possible that one or both might obtain falls with holds other than their fav rites. Jackson versus Sugat should furnish the evening's most spec tacular action. The Portland Bulldog, vicious and with no conscience whatsoever, plans to soften up the clean Japanese boy with illegitimate holds and force him to give up with ham merlocks. Sugnl, who will be making his first appearance here, expects to defeat Jackson by virtue of superior speed and cleverness. Crowd Expected ' Clemens and Piluso should stage a thrilling "cleanle" duel, with Frankie shooting for an opportunity to clamp on his In dian paralyzcr and Piluso gun ning for an opening to unleash his devastating sonnenbergs. Promoter Lillard looks for a good crowd to be on hand for the program, because of the ap pearance of Sugai, who is one of the game's best matmen. Su gai, a former Eugene high school football star, .has been packing them in at Eugene. Salem and Portland. G. PASS RALLIES TO TRIM C. CITY Grants Pass.

BEAVERS DIVIDE WITH HOLLYWOOD ER ADVANCE TO GOLF FINALS Hammond Beaten by Har rington, 4 and 2; Fluhrer Defeats Sherwood, 1 Up Thanks to a putter that ticked like grandfather's clock. George Harrington defeated Bob Hammond yesterday, 4 and 2, and will oppose Helnie Fluhrer in the finals for the Perl trophy this coming week end. Both local golf stars were off their games from the tee, be ing in the rough a large share of the time, both were strong on the recovery, but when it came to the green, Harrington simply refused to miss, while Hammond with equal stubborn ness, refused to can them. Hammond won the first hole with a par 4, while Harring ton got the first of two fives. Bob apparently had the second in the bag when he sunk a 20-foot putt for a birdie 3, but it was at this point that George's "Calamity Jane" came to the rescue, and also with a 20 footer, and an uneven path, old Calamity sent the pill straight into the cup, to save the day two of the sweetest birdies any one could hope to see. Harrington Takes Lead The next two holes were halved In pars, but Harrington went one up when he won the fifth and sixth, with 2 par 4's, while Bob took two fives, Har ringtons medal for the first nine being 36 even par, while Ham mond was only one stroke be hind with a 37 good golf on any man's score sheet. The next nine, however, George started to put on the heat with straight pars largely due to his one-putting, while Hammond's putter Just refused to click, George winning four up on the 16th, with only two to go. Three down on the 14th and only 4 to go, the local attor ney took a hitch In his belt and decided it waa a case of shooting the works, or else with the result that he was beautifully on the 13th with his second while Harrington was over the green in the rough, and it looked as though the long awaited break had come. It was a possible 3 and a sure 4 for Hammond, and no better than a four or a 5 for his opponent. A win here would have put Hammond only 2 down, with a good chance to pull a tic or win the match. Hard Putt Wins But again Hammond's putter balked, while Harrington chip ped out beautifully from the rough and although he had a difficult down hill putt at a bad angle. In the ball dropped and the match was practically over. Not entirely over for It was really dormie 3, but after that George only had to half a hole to win, and everyone knew he could do that. He did more. He won the next hole and match.

Medford's crashing Craters moved into a tie for the Oregon State Baseball league leadership Sunday afternoon by crushing the Hills Creek Hillbillies. 12 to 3, at the fairgrounds park to sweep the two-game series. The Craters won the opening game Saturday night. 7 to 5. Southpaw Jimmy Rego went the distance on the Medford mound and turned in a six-hit, a e v e n-strikeout performance. While the lefthander was shackl ing the upstate club, his Crater teammates were belting Frank Kendall and Merle John son for 10 blows. Peterson, with a double and triple; Crippen, with two dou bles, and Cook, with three sin gles, led the Medford attack. It was a tight pitchers" duel for five innings, with the locals going into the sixth on the large end of a 3 to 2 score. In that frame, however, the Craters pounded three more tallies across the plate, and wound up by running wild for six more runs in the eighth he-it at the ex pense of Johnson, who took over the Hills Creek pitching burden In the seventh. Rego allowed the visitors only two hits for five innings. But in the sixth a walk to Homer Parks, G. Kelsay's single to right. Fleishman's single to left and an error by Third Baseman Cliff McLean gave the Billies a pair of runs. Another base on balls, Howard Parks' double to center which Al Wray lost in the sun and Baxter's fly to left accounted for the other Hills Creek tally in the eighth. The Craters got three runs In the fourth on Cook's single to left, an error by Pitcher Ken dall, another error by Left Field er Homer Parks and Crlppen's hard double to left. After the Hillbillies drew near with two in the sixth, the Cra ters bounced right back to ham mer over three in their half cf the Inning and go ahead, 6 to 2. McLean singled, Patterson forced him at second. Crippen doubled to left and Patterson scored on a bad throw to the plate. Kerr walked and went to second on a passed ball, and Rego singled to left-center scoring Crippen and Kerr. Johnson went to the Hills Creek mound In the seventh and escaped damage that inning, but in the eighth two errors, a hit batsman, a walk and Peter son's double and Patterson's sin gle meant six runs for the Cra ters. A fielding feature of the game was Al Wray s running catch of Howard Parks' drive against the center field boards in the fourth inning. The Craters went into a tie for the leadership when Albany and Silverton divided a two game series. Albany winning the first Saturday night. 13 to 6. and the Red Sox copping the Sunday afternoon game. 2 to l. despite the three-hit hurling of Dick Johnson of Albany.

ATEES 5 TO 2; FIGHT FEATURES A fist fight between Short stop Bud Retailing of the Med ford Rogues and Pitcher Nig DiSordi of the Ashland-Talent Atees enlivened things yester day as the Rogues, behind the seven-hit pitching of Ray Tun gate, broke into the Southern Oregon league victory column with a 5 to 2 conquest of their rivals from the south. The game was played at the fairgrounds park following completion of the Medford Crater-Hills Creek State league tussle. The short scrap occurred in the eighth inning, with the Rogues leading, 3 to 2. With Rogue runners on first and sec ond, Reinking laid a perfect sacrifice bunt down the first base line. DiSordi fielded the ball and tagged out Reinking as the latter sped toward first, but so solidly did DiSordi put the horsehide on the Rogue in. fielder that he was knocked flat. Reinking came to his feet with fists flying and the pair tangled for about 30 seconds before teammates pulled them apart. Umpire Jim Krinock of Ash land tossed both of them out of the ball game. DiSordi, It will be remembered, was chased out of a game here last season when he and Umpire Lew Miles got Into a beet. Skinny Wilson relieved Di Sordi on the mound at this point and the Rogues promptly sewed up the game when Sa kralda and Van Dyke, who had moved up a base on Reinking's bunt, came across the plate on Catcher Dick Skeeters' error. Tungate, besides pitching fine ball for the Rogues, batted in the winning run. With the score tied at 2-all in the sixth, Van Dyke reached first on Third Baseman Charlie Jandreau's er ror, went to second on a passed ball, and scored on Tungate's single to center. The Rogues tallied first in the first frame on Johnny Git zen's single to left, Piche's sac rifice, and Hampel's double to center. The Atees tied it at 1 to 1 in the third on a single by Joanis, Skeeters' walk and DiSordi's single. The Atees came back In the fourth to go ahead, 2 to 1, when Jandreau reached first on Reinking's mishap, went to third on Strickland's single and scored on another error by Hampel. However, the Rogues evened it again in their half of the fourth on Van Dyke's single to left. Reinking's sacrifice and an error 'y Ed Learning, Atee first sacker. Hampel led the Rogues at the plate with a triple and double, while Tungate hit a double and single. DiSordi got two singles for the losers. The Atees committed eight errors and Medford four.
