SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT FOR WOMEN. AUG. 26-31 Portland. July 22. JR The first Oregon women's roftball tournament In Mate history will be held at Albany, August 26 31, with an undetermined num ber of teams entered, officials announced today. 21 UPSTAIRS DAN WANE TO 1 HEAD FINE ARRAY WRESTLEJALENT Clingman- Goodrich, Lynam, Wagner, Belcastro Also On Ladies' Night Card Dangerous Danny McShane of Hollywood, the wild-eyed, jitter bugging former light-heavyweight wrestling champion of the universe, and a bad charac ter if there ever was one, will lead a half dozen matmen Into the armory arena tonight for a battle royal and three regular matches as Promoter Mack Lil- lard. presents his first program here since June 24. It will be ladies night, and for every ticket purchased a free one will be given to admit a feminine fan. It doesn't matter whether one or a dozen ducats are bought, or whether they are ringside or balcony. Every paste board paid for will entitle the purchaser to a free one just like it. The card starts at 8:30. and the promoter expects a capacity crowd. Meanles On Spot v.c.nane will be accompan ied into the battle royal by a grappler whose ideas concern ing mat etiquette are closely patterned after those of his own Pete Belcastro, the Mad Ital ian of Weed, Calif. Neither gives a tinker's whoop for the niceties of ring conduct, and because of this they will probably suffer a concerted attack by the four clean and scientific boyi who also will be on hand for festivi ties. Providing the legitimate ac tivity on the program will be Otis Clingman, the Amarillo, Texas favorite who has been gone from here for many months; Jimmy Goodrich, the sonnenberging, dropkicking for mer Notre Dame grid luminary who also hasn't been In this neck of the timber for quite a spell; Joe Lynam, youthful gla diator from Redmond, Oregon, who has been on a six-months eastern tour, and popular George Wagner of Houston, Tex as. Local fans who like to fore cast the outcome of everything from wrestling matches to elec tions, predict that McShane and Belcastro will last rather quick in there with a quartet of grap plers who are known to waste no love on the two bruties. It is the consensus that the four scientific matmen will attempt io gei ria oi uanny and Pete in a hurry so that they can turn to the more pleasant task of matching legitimate maneuvers among themselves. 3 Other Bouts However, it is not outside the realm of possibility that Mc Shane and Belcastro will do a little eliminating themselves be fore they can be coroned and sent to the dressing room. Both are tough monkeys, very tough, in fact and if they can isolate one or two of the clean genu they might hang around the bat tle royal for some time. Following the free-for-all, the regular three-bout program will take place. Pairings will be de termined in tlie order of the grapplers' elimination from the battle royal, the first two ousted meeting in the opening event, next two out colliding in tht center match and the two final ists meeting In the one-hour top tiff.

CITY, 9 TO 4 'The Medford Rogues lost an other heartbreaker yesterday afternoon when they dropped a 9-4 decision to the Southern Oregon league-leading Crescent City outfit at the high school field here. For seven Innings the locals had their first win all wrapped up, but in the final two frames the coast team counted six runs to overcome the one run lead of Medford and keep their own slale unmarrcd in the second half race. Doc Gltzen's club started the scoring in the third stanza when J. Gitzen singled, Piche walked, and Van Dyke lashed out a double, driving in two runs. Crescent City tied it up in the fourth with consecutive singles by Deo. Hanscom, and Ferm, good for a duo of tallies. The Crescents went ahead in the fifth when Johnson was driven home by Pitcher Ray Roll's single over second base. However the Rogues were not through yet, as they scored two runs in their half of the fifth. ultzen started Wiings with a triple to right field and Van Dyke followed with k single to put Gitzen home. Hoffard then got life on a fielder's choice, and went to third on Hampers in field single, later scoring on a delayed steal. Hampel died on second base. That's the way things stood until the eight innin when Crescent City tallied twice, and the big ninth, when they chased four runs across. Sam Van Dyke and Johnny Gitzen led the locals at the plate, with Gitzen collecting a single and a triple in five trips. Van Dyke got a double and a brace of singles in four official trips, and in addition powered home three of the four Medford counters. Ralph Deo had a pair of dou bles and a single to lead the winners' thirteen-hit attack on Pitchers Tungate and Keven. Score: R. H. E. Medford . 4 7 4 Crescent City 9 13 4 Tungate. Keven and G.
