ED COLEMAN RELEASED
BY PORTLAND BEAVERS
Portland. Ore., June 18
The Portland Beavers of the Pa
cific Coast league, pursuing
policy of substituting young
players for veterans past their
primes, released Outfielder Ed
Coleman yesterday.
Rar Chase of Portland (above), current leader In point of standings of all midget driv
en In this circuit, is shows cutting inside another speeding "doodle-bug" on a curve to flash
into first place. Chase will wheel his red-hot number IS around the fairgrounds oval to
night in Bobby Rowe'a big race program, and will be one the favorites to cop the main
event.
WRAY STILL TOP
Crater batting averages, on
the whole, slid downward over
the week-end as the locals di
vided a two-game aeries with
the Albany Alco-Oaks, but Al
Wray'a mark stayed way up
there above .400 .433 to be
exact.
Wray pulled a leg muscle
Saturday night and didn't see
action in the series, so he heads
the hitters, although Hank
Pacheco is the nominal leader
with .600.
The Craters will tangle with
the undefeated and Southern
Oregon league-leading Gran?;
Pass Merchants under the lights
here tomorrow night starting at
8:30. It might be quite a tus
sle, as Grants Pass will be cer
tain to shoot the works In an
attempt to knock off the State
leaguers.

ROTARY CLUB IN
GOLF GO, 14-13
However else they might com'
pare, the Kiwanians today hold
a supremacy over the Rotarlans
as far as golf is concerned. To
be sure, the margin of superi
ority is rather meager but it
is enough to give the Kiwanls
club an edge over their arch
rival of the links.
In their annual grudge match
yesterday at the Rogue River
Valley Golf club, the Kiwanls
club nosed out the Rotary club,
14 points to 13. The match was
held after a box lunch served
under the shade trees on the
golf club lawn, this part of the
affair being in charge of Lee
Watson.
At the luncheon, Laddy Sel
kirk, the club's professional,
gave a talk on the fundamentals
of the ancient Scottish game.
His son, Bill Selkirk, later dem
onstrated some of the points
Laddy brought out in the talk.
In a blind bogey tourney,
prizes were won by Russell
Davis, Nell Collins, Cedric
Reaney, Charles Clay and R. B.
Hammond.
The golf summary:
New York, June 18 W)
The Al Weill wink Is considera
bly more expressive than the
far-famed Weill wesklt, although
not quite as large.
He gives that eyelid a click
so hearty it can be heard as
well as seen. He did it todav
when someone asked him about
the possibility that Arturo Go
doy would export the heavy
weight championship to Soutli
America and defend It from
them provided he takes the ti
tle from Joe Louis in Yankee
stadium Thursday night.
And when he did, plump Al
wasn't winking because he had
something in his eye.
The situation offers the most
interesting possibilities. O f
course, first off the Chilean
croucher would have to whip
Louis Job he didn't accom
plish last February, and doesn't
figure to come any closer to do
ing it this time. If you believe
those 1 to S odds on the Bomber.
Still, the fight game la full of
the screwiest situations.

REDS TAKE LEAD
AS BROOKS LOSE
By Associated Press
The St. Louis Cardinals may
not be going anywhere, but they
are unquestionably going there
fast.
Since Billy Southworth as
cended (?) to the managership
last week the club has won five
games and hasn't been beaten.
The Cards created quite a bit
of commotion yesterday by
blockading the Brooklyn Dodg
ers 3-1 and enabling the Cin
cinnati Reds to regain first
place.
While this was going on the
Reds reaped a 6-2 triumph at
Philadelphia to take a full game
jump over the Dodgers.
The New York Giants got
back on the winning track when
Paul Dean continued his mas
tery over the Chicago Cubs by
a 2-1 score.
The Boston Bees swept a
doubleheader from the Pitts.
burgh Pirates 9-3 and 5-1.

Meaner than ever, Sgt. Bob
Kenaston of Gold Hill roughed
and battered Portland's Ernie
Plluso into defeat in last night's
main event wrestling match in
the Medford armory. The re
sult of the bout indicated that
one benefit Kenaston got from
working his mine the past sev
eral weeks was "dirt," and
plenty of it.
Kenaston pulled every low
down trick in the book to
trounce his clean opponent, and
even though Plluso lost the
match, he lost none of the pop
ularity with which he is blessed
locally.
The Gold Hill toughie fouled,
punched, kicked and bulled Pl
luso around the ring for 13 min
utes before pinning him with a
body press for the first fall.
Kenaston's most effective "hold"
in this session was a blow to
the small of Plluso's back, and
he used lots of them.
Irked, Plluso didn't waste
time evening the count. When
the bell rang for the second
heat, Ernie started blasting
sonnenbergs and Kenaston went
down for the count In just 30
seconds.
The third stanza didn't last
long, as Kenaston worked Pl
luso over with painful leg and
arm holds. sunDlementeH hv
more foul stuff. Piluso whin-
ped out of a leg breaker and
fired two sonnenbergs that flat
tened the villain, but Kenaetnn
dodged the third and slapped on
a Gold Hill crab to take the
deciding fall.
Prince Selakl Mehalikls won
the opening match from Jimmy
Mitchell, alias the Black Pan
ther, in two straight falls. The
Prince used a dragon scissors
In the second round, forcing
Mitchell to give up, and he
came right back with a leg
breaker in the third canto to
wind up the affair. It was a
clean, scientific match.
Don Sugal of Salem, flashy
Japanese matman, came from
behind to defeat Indian Frankie
Clemens, after the latter open
ed the scoring in the first
round with a fall via a figure
four leg-breaker.
