Bimelech, potential 1940 three-year-old champion, went to the post at odds of 3 to 5 and could do no better than third, three lengths behind Gal lahadion, winner of the Ken tucky derby which finished sec ond, seven lengths back of the flying Sirocco, owned by Charles T. Fisher, Detroit auto mobile body manufacturer. Sirocco, which never won a stake previously as a three- year-old, won so easily that the crowd of 35,000 was stunned. E. Under sponsorship of the Medford Lions club, 1940's laugh riot donkey baseball will be brought to local fans neSct Wednesday night under the lights ttt the fairgrounds park. All money raised will be used for Lions club charity pro jects. The donkey contest will be played between teams composed of Lions club members and soft ball players of Fluhrer's Bread eaters, who compete in the American Softball loop. The game will start at 0 o'clock fol lowing a regulation . Softball clash between the Breadeaters and the Pine Box team of the Ashland City league. In the donkey baseball game, all players with the exception of the pitcher and catcher are mounted on donkeys, which seem to get a great kick out of refusing to cooperate in the various situations that arise. Donkey baseball has been staged here twice before in oth er years, and has never failed to provide plenty of hearty laughs for the spectators.

A Coed Paint Job Will Make the Old Car Look Years Younger Daily's Auto Painting ft ftnuth lUrlleft Seattle Youth Worried Over Hands, Badly Battered, Loses on TK0. Seattle, July 20. (IP) A hard-punching Polish boy from the Gary, Ind., steel mills was the new owner of the National Boxing association's middle weight championship - today, and he owes his newly won bauble to a kidney punch. Tony Zale, the handsome 26-year-old blond battler, won the crown Friday night with 13th round technical knockout over Al Hostak of Seattle. Tony weighed 158. Hostak 138-4. Hostak, with iron chin and brittle hands, had never been on the floor before, much less knocked out, but Zale floored him thrice not with blows to the Jaw, but with deadly right hand kidney punches which drew loud "oofs" from Hostak as they landed. After Hostak went down helpless for the third time, Ref eree Benny Leonard, the for mer lightweight champion, heeded the towel waving of Hostak's manager, Eddie Mar ino, and stopped the slaughter. The Hostak who took the whipping before some 15,000 fans last night wasn't the same Hostirtt who blasted his way to the title with kayoes over Fred die Steele and later over Solly Krieger. Al was a worried boy, wor ried over whether his hands would hold up. He lacked con fidence and his timing was off, and Zale took three of the first four rounds. Al rained dozens of blows at Tony in the fifth to take that round, but the sturdy Zale usually wound up by taking the play away from the cham pion. Hostak was awarded the ninth because of a low blow, and that was the last time he had an edge. Zale put a cut under Hos tak's left eye in the sixth, and by the tenth had both the Seat tle boy's peepers puffed up like red Christmas tree bulbs. In the 10th Tony hurt the back of his left hand, and dur ing the rest, his managers told him to shift to a right hand at tack. It was sound advice, be cause the right began to pay j dividends as Tony belted away j at Hostak s ribs. I TTn.fnW uinrori In th. 11th! as he hurt his own left hand, the one that was broken in the first Zale fight in Chicago. He carried it around like he was looking for a shelf to stow it on the rest of the fight, and it was then Just a matter of time for Zale. A right to the kidneys in the 12th brought a loud "oof" from Hostak as he hit the floor! for the first time since he was in swaddling clothes. He ' bounced around on his knees! like they were twin pogo sticks j as he peered frantically from his puffed eyes and groped for1 a hand-hold on the ropes. lie took a nine count. The same scene was reen- acted twice in the 13th. An other kidney punch and Al took eight counts. Zale pum melled him mercilessly and Al went down again from one of those rib-smashers, and the fight was stopped after a min ute and 20 seconds of the round.

In tightening their grip on first place in the National lea gue, the Rhinelanders got to their old "jinx, Bill Lohrman, for all five of their runs , be fore he headed for the showers in the seventh. Lohrman whip ped them four times out of five last year, but he was well wal loped today as the Reds piled up 13 hits. Bucky was red out there on the mound.

The Yanks ran afoul of eight hit hurling ot Hal Newhouser, Detroit's 10 year-old rookie southpaw, and a persistent of fensive led by Hank Greenberg. The slugger had a perfect day at the plate with a triple, a double and two singles as his contribution to the Tiger total of 10 hits. The crowd of 16,663 got their only kick in the sixth when Joe DiMaggio extended his hit ting streak to 15 consecutive contests with a single that drove home Red Rolfe, who had sin gled.

Thus far in the 'second-half pennant race, the Rnfme hav. failed to win a game, but both their defeats resulted from crackups in late innings. Two weeks ago at Crescent City the teams went into the seventh inning tied at 0-0, with Crescent City winning by virtue of errors. Then last Saturday night against Grants Pass it was anybody's game until the ninth inning, when Pitcher Nig DiSordi of the visitors hit a home run to break a 5-all tie and clinch the contest. The Rogues have nlnved fi nf baseball in the early stages of their games, and Manager Doc Gitzen believes that if they can keep up that pace through nine innings the team will break into the win column. Ray Tungate, Tommy Kevan or Harold McAbee, all right handers, will pitch for the locals this afternoon, with George Git zen wearing the mask and re ceiver. Manager Gitzen said that Dick Lewis would probably be at shortstop in place of Orval Hampel, who will take care of the initial cushion. Remainder of the Rogue line up will find Johnny Gitzen at second, Bud Reinking at third, Sam VanDyke in left. Bill Piche in center and Paul (Hoosier) Hoffard in right. Crescent City will have tiny Ray Koll, lefthander, on the pitching slab, with Ralph Deo in reserve. SEATTLE BEATEN, HOLLYWOOD WINS Oakland, Cal., July 20. OP) The Oaks defeated Seattle.

Wilkie gave way in the second for John Tate, who was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the eighth, Nick Radunich fin ished up for Seattle. Two of the three Rainier runs came in the seventh inning when George Archie hit a homer over the left field fence, with Vanni on base.

McShane, the former world's 1 1 g h t-heavyweight champion, and Belcastro, the Weed man iac, are expected to be on the receiving end of the best com bined efforts of the four clean ies to put them out of circula tion in rapid order. These legitimate wrestlers will be the ones pooling their resources against the two mean ies: Otis Clingman of Amarillo, Tex.; Jimmy Goodrich, ex Notre Dame grid star: George Wagner of Houston, Tex., and young Joe Lynam of Redmond, Ore. Clingman, Goodrich and Ly nam will all be returning to Medford after long absences. All were popular here in pre vious appearances and fans will welcome them back with open arms. Wagner, also, is well liked by local clients, and the quartet will have the complete moral backing of the crowd when they go against the two unpopular gladiators. Following the battle royal, three regular matches will be staged. First two men elimin ated will return to meet in the opening bout, next two out will collide in the center attraction, and the finalists will clash in the one-hour main event.
