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.

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.
The Cincinnati Reds skidded
to a 5-4 defeat at the hands of
the New York Giantr.
The Dodgers trounced the St.
Louis Cardinals 10-1 in a night
game, scoring five runs in the
first when Pete Coscarart hit a
home-run with two on.
The Pittsburgh Pirates rous
ed out of their lethargy under
the lights to crush the Boston
Bees 14-2.
The Chicago Cubs amassed
15 hits in thumping the Phillies
12-6.

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.

li was proved that there
are many armory patrons
who honestly attend grap
pling matches for the chance
to witness such tactics as
hammerlocks, wristlocks, leg
breakers, dropkieks and other
"straight" holds. 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.
