He explained that he thought It was the railway station and he was waiting for a train. Midget auto racing's most hair- raising spectacle, the reverse handicap, will be displayed next Tuesday night when the little speeders wheel around the fair grounds oval on the third pro gram to be staged here by Pro moter Bobby Rowe of Portland. A reverse handicap, it was ex plained by H. A. Murray, local Rowe representative, involves the placing of the fastest cars in the rear of the slower ma chines at the start of the race, with the result that a wild bat tle ensues as the speedier midgets attempt to overtake and roar past the cars receiving the handicap. Next Tuesday's main event. which will be on the reverse handicap basis, will also be longer than previous feature at tractions, Murray said. It is pjanned to send tha midgets spinning around tha track 30 or 35 laps. Three local pilots slated to enter local cars are Cliff Wood ley of Grants Pass, driving a Whippet; Jack Terrett In his Chevrolet special and Don Wiley herding a Crosby Sky-Cuief special from Ashland. Terrett has changed the gear ratio in his machine and expects it to be con siderably "hotter" than in the past. HOW THEY' sia&d American League. W. L. Pet.

E PAIR WITH NATS By tha Associated Press. As long as everyone is now certain the New York Yankees are going straight to their fifth consecutive American league pennant, it may seem time wast ed to consider Cleveland's Im proved Indians. But the Indians were the only ono of the American lea gue leaders to Improve their position yesterday, splitting a doubleheader with the Wash ington Senators, 2-7 and 3-2 It brought them within half a game of the pace-making Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox were stopped 5-3 as the St. Louis Browns ended a seven-game losing streak. Jimmle Foxx, who hod made only a single the day be fore, went hitless The Yankees' parade was de toured by the lefthanded slants of Chicago's Ed Smith and a 12-hit onslaught topped by Joe Kuhels tenth and eleventh homers of tha season. The score was 7-3. The third-place Detroit Ti gers also were stopped, 8-8, at Philadelphia after getting four runs in the first frame.

Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; Clean Wrestling Proves Popular With Local Fans C. CITY SOFTBALLERS E Although the crowd failed to approach capacity proportions by several hundreds Grapple Promoter Mack Lillard was not a bit disappointed in turnstile figures for last Monday night's all-cleanle program in the arm ory. He was, in fact, pleasant ly surprised and pleased by the number of mat patrons who came forth to watch some scien tific action for a change. It has been the gereral opln- inon among those most Inter ested in the drawing power of wrestling that the average fan regardless of sex, has- decidod leanings toward tha big, tough brutal gladiators, who get In there and raise all kinds of Hades. It was believed that a program generously spiced with dirty graoplers would outdraw any 100 per cent legitimate card at least threefold. remaps this belief has an actual basis in cold fact. It is true that Medford clients seem to like the rough lads more than they do the legitimate boys, at least most of the regu lar customers. But after last Monday's fine shindig it can no longer be said that the "cleanies won't draw files." The Crescent City (Cal.) Smoke Shop softhall team, through its manager, Al Rob inson, has issued a challenge to any high class Medford club for a twday series in Crescent City during the town's annual Fourth of July celebration. Robinson writes that games could be played on the nichts of July 4 and 5. or that a doubleheader could be staced Saturday, July t). Robinson would like to have any man ager interested write him at P. O. box 96, Crescent City. Cal., so that arrangements can be made. Scores Yesterday American League. Chicago 7, New York 3. St. Louis 3, Boston 3. Philadelphia 8, Detroit 6.

Of course these same fans may relish an occasional sock to the snoot, a clout to the stomach and other ungentlemanly ma neuvers, but tha point is that they also LIKE clean mat do ings, along with the rough stuff. Because this fact was proved on the last program, Lillard plans to come right back with something of the same next Monday at least in the main event. He Is trying to line up Ernie Piluso and Don Sugai for the top spot, and if he is suc cessful fans will see the two cleverest of the current crop trading thisa and thata. Speaking of wrestling, the Mall Tribune's 44 curriers are this week working tcward dan dy ringside seats at next Mon day's presentation. The angle is that every carrier turning in two new subscriptions gets a free ducat to the nutrhes. Two rows at ringside havo been te served for the paper carriers and the boys are turning or. plenty of heat to grab off those pasteboards. Medford's baseball Cracrs receive an almost unbelievable schodule-brak when the Ore gon State league swings into its second-half rag chase, June 13 and 18. Believe it or not thr Craters will play four straight week-ends right in their own bailiwick. And that's not alL Hills j Creak, which isn't drawing i wall at home, wants to tranv i far their home tilts against : Medford. July 13 and 14. to Medford, and U this is ar I ranged, which appears likely. ; that will give the Craters five consecutive local series. Even If the Hills Creek slilft isn't made, the Medford club ' will play four out oi six of its second-half series here. And If the change la arrang ed, it will mean five out ol six week-ends here, with the lone road trip being to Bend. The second-half slate looks like this: June 13-18 Albany at Med ford. June 22-23 Jack and Jill at Medford. June 29-30 Portland Babes at Medford (two doubleheaders in two days). July 8-7 Silverton at Med ford. July 13-11 Medford at Hills Creek. (May be shifted to Med ford.) July 21 Medford at Bend (doubleheader). ! July 27-28 Eugene at Med ford. Just a word about that ''two doubleheaders in two days" bus iness Involving the Portland Babes. Medford doesn't travel to Portland this year so to get in the four tilts the two clubs will clash in a doubleheader Saturday night, July 29, and again Sunday afternoon, July 30. HOPE FOR REPEAT By Joe Morton. Cleveland, June S. (JP) Im pressed but not awed by the practice performances of sev eral of his fellow journeymen of golf, defending champion Byron Nelson today sized up his chances of repeating in the national open championship starting tomorrow and found them ' pretty fair." The pleasant Texan's 71 yes terday failed to draw the gal lery attention of Ben Hogan's ; third consecutive sub-par round, but he expressed himself as well-satLsfied. "I had some good shots and a few bad ones," he explained, "but I'm finding myself in pret ty good shape. Another day of practice here and I'll be set to go." Nelson's modest optimism was shared by many of his fellow professionals although a size able number appeared set on Ralph Guldahl, title winner in 1937 and 1938, as the "man to beat." Other were ready to put their chips on Sam Snead. Fights Last Night By the Associated Press New York Pete Lello, 134, Gary, Ind., , outpointed Victor Trolse, 138, New York (8).
