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.

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.

tions received approximately

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.

finished the score was 12 to 1.
McLean started the really with
a single to short, and Wray
followed with a single to right.
Cook sacrificed and Patterson
walked, loading the bases. Man
ager Tommy Hawkins blasted a
line single into center and Mc
Lean and Wray tallied.
Lanning reached first base on
Schroer's boot, and. Calvert
doubled to the scoreboard,
scoring Patterson and Hawkins.

Wray whiffed and Cook ground
ed 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

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
