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.

LATE INNINGS TO
C. 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.
