PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. MONDAY. JUNE 24, 1940. Ernie Piluso to Battle Bob Kenaston in Revenge Match Tonight A ERNIE PLANS TO FIGHT FIRE WITH ; FIRE MATCH Dude Chick Meets Prince in . Middle Go George Wag tier, Clemens Open Card . On the one hand, Sgt. Bob Kenaston of Gold Hill will be bending all his efforts to hand Ernie Piluso second straight walloping. . On the other hand, Ernie Pll uso will be striving to get re venge and ram Bob Kenaston s dirty tactics right back down his throat. That's the nutshell and main event situation in the Medford armory tonight as Promoter Mack Lillard unleaihes six of his grapple gladiators to provide three matches in what promises to be dandy program, per haps one of theb est in recent months. Kenaston trimmed Piluso last week, but the manner in which he accomplished the feat was no credit to him. Kenaston has the reputation of being a soiled wrestler, and he added to that reputation 100 percent last Mon day. He was meaner than ever before and Piluso, trying to keep things on a legitimate basis, was simply overwhelmed. Tonight, though, Ernie promises that Kenaston will discover how It tastes to be battled with no regard for the rules. Action Expected Piluso's offensive plan for the struggle includes a blazing attack of sonnenberg's and drop- kicks, plus plenty of the same tactics Kenaston uses on him. The match honestly looks like It will turn into an alley brawl, for the first time Kenaston makes an unfair move Piluso will be ready to deliver it back with Interest. No such fireworks are looked for In the middle event, al though the milling will prob ably be none the less spectac ular. Dude Chick and Prince Selakt Mehalikls are the two boys slated to match scientific maneuvers In this bout, with Chick replying on his airplane spin and the Arabian Prince trusting to his earner-lock and other holds to bring htm a vie- tory. Wagner a Newcomtr ' A newcomer to southern Ore gon, big George Wagner of Texas, will tangle with Indian Frankie Clemens In the opening bout. Promoter Mack Lillard stated that he believed Wagner had an excellent chance of winning If he keeps clear of the Clemens Indian paralyzer. The program will start at 8:30 sharp. HOW THEY?

GOLD HILL TRIMS Although outhit. 12 to 14, the Gold Hill Beavers marie the best use of their blows to hand the Medford Rogues an 8 to 6 defeat In a Southern Ore gon league game at Gold Hill yesterday afternoon. The same ended the loop's first-half race, with the Rogues in the cellar and the Grants Pass Merchants, idle yesterday, winning the title. Skinny Wilson of Gold Hill and Ray Tungate of Medford both ' went the route on the pitching mound, with Wilson fanning 13 and Tungate strik ing out two.

Si BILL TO PADRES By the Associated Press Seattle's flying Rainlers, rounding the half-way mark In the Pacific Coast league season with a 5',4-game lead, looked mighty hard to overtake today. The Rainlers feasted on Sacra mento meat last week, gobbling seven wins in an eight-game se ries. They made Sunday's dou bleheader the piece de resistance for home town fans by walloping the despairing Solohs, 3 to 2 and 10 to 3. San Diego's Padres clipped Portland for two games yester day, 2 to 0 and 3 to 2. San Diego pulled both games out of the fire in the ninth inning with two-run rallies. The second game went two extra innings. Russian Lou Novikoff of Los Angeles broke up another ball game yesterday. With the score 0 to 0 in the ninth and bases loaded, the Russian whaled a drive into right field that gave the Angels a 1 to 0 victory. Oak land took the nightcap in seven innings, 4 to 2. The wavering San Francisco Seals found new hope in one Froilnnd Fernandez, shortstop hurriedly purchased from Yaki ma in the Western International league. His big bat helped the Sen Is take the nightcap yester day from the Hollywood Stars, 10 to 1, after the Seals lost the opener, 6 to 1.

Big Bill Lanning turned In a three-hit pitching performance and his teammates clouted out nine solid smacks, including doubles by Bill Calvert and Alex McDonald, as the Craters made it two in a row over Port land's Jack and Jill Tavern at the fairgrounds park yesterday afternoon. The score was 12 to 2. The victory enabled Medford to deadlock Bend's Elks for sec ond place in the second week end of the Oregon State league's second-half pennant race, Sil verton leading the pack by vir tue of a double triumph over the Portland Babes. An eight-run outburst in the fifth frame clinched the contest for the locals, after they tallied once in the first inning and three times In the fourth. The Tavernmeri scored one In the third and their other in the eighth. Don Pendergrast, Jiller south paw, lasted only three and two- thirds innings and Norm Leit helser, lanky righthander, fin ished the game. The former gave up two hits and two runs while Leitheiser was rapped for seven blows and 10 tallies. Pendergrass Wild Pendergass' wildness caused his own downfall. In the first frame Calvert reached first on an error, Peterson walked and McLean singled infield, loading the bags. Pendergrass then hit Al Wray with a curve ball and Calvert was forced over the plate. The Jillers tied It up in the third when Lanning, himself, lost control. Schroer, Pender grass and Granato walked, and Schroer tallied after Kellenber- ger flied out to Wray in right field. After escaping damage in the second and third innings, Pen dergrass blew up in the fourth and was removed for Leit heiser. With one away. Cook walked, Patterson stepped away from a curve ball and blooped a single Into right and Lanning walked, filling the bases. Cal vert drew another base on balls, forcing in Cook, and Leitheiser took over the Tav ern hurling duties. Macdonald slammed Leit heiser's first pncli Into center field, scoring Patterson and Lan ning, but Peterson grounded out to end the inning.

The Jillmen scored their last run in the eighth when Kel lenberger singled to center, Leininger doubled to right and Wittcke grounded out. Lanning Hot Lanning pitched one of his best games. Ogden, first man up in the first inning, hit the first ball thrown for a single, but from then until the eighth frame the. Jillers didn't smell a base hit. Twenty-seven bats men faced Big Bill over this hltless stretch. McDonald, with a double avl single- and four runs batted in, led the Crater attack. Al Wray hit two singles, as did McLean. For the Jillers, Ogden, Kellcn berger and Leininger collected socks, one apiece, Wray pulled a fine catch of a foul fly in right field, and Patterson came up with a pretty stab of Parker's liner down the right field line in the eighth Southpaw Jimmy (Goof) Rego, Medford's brainstorming pitcher, almost stole the show with his clowning. He set off a string of firecrackers in the first-base coaching box, and had the stands in stitches with his antics. He climaxed his screwy show by climbing into the grandstand in mock anger to "get the guy who said that." Grants Pass Next The Craters will tangle with the Grants Pass Merchants here Wednesday night in a grudge battle, and next Saturday night and Sunday afternoon will meet the Portland Babes in a pair of double-headers.

By Bill White Associated Press Sports Writer The argument of whether a pla. -r should dress up like one of King Arthur's armor-plated knights before stepping onto the diamond is due for its annual airing. The cobwebs had hardly clear ed from Dodger Ducky Med wick's brain after being beaned by Bob Bowman of the Cards Tuesday, when Billy Jurges of the Giants was boffed yesterday by Bucky Walters of the Cincin nati staff, and Ted Williams, lanky Boston Red Sox outfielder, also suffered a concussion when he and Roger Cramer collided, while pursuing a fly ball. The Giants, right in the thick of the National league pennant fight, dropped a pair to the Reds yesterday by 7-4 and 2-0, and that dropped them back to third place, while the Reds were re mounting the throne for the sixth time.
