PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MED FORD OREGON, TUESDAY, JULY 22. 1940. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; Sunday Big Day for Local Ball Clubs On Road Sunday was a great day for Medford baseball clubs, what with the Craters keeping a des perate grip on the heels of the high-flying Albany and Eugene teams by tripping the Bend Elks In a doubleheader, and the local American Legion Jun iors rapping out two victories over Roseburg to clinch the district 4 championship. The only blot on the day's activities was Crescent City's 9 to 4 Southern Oregon league win over the Rogues, who tried their darndest to break the late-inning defeatist complex, but Just couldn't hack it. The Oregon State league race is fairly smoking now, it is so torrid. Albany and Eugene deadlocked for the lead, with Medford raging along in second place, a game behind. Just these three clubs remaining in the second-half chase, which ends next week-end. There has never been anything like it, say the boys who have observed the State, loop throughout the years. Jack and Jilt Tavarn, al though long ago eliminated from the flag battle, holds . the key to Medford's cham pionship aspirations. The Tavernmen play mighty Al bany next week-end in the finale, while Eugene and Med ford are colliding In their titanic series here. Medford's only hope for the crown Is that the Jillers beat Albany at least once, while . they, themselves, are sweeping both games from Eugene. The Craters HAVE to beat Eugene twice, because a split would still leave them a full game arrears. And at the same time, Billy Ross' Tavern team MUST win at least one game from the Alco-Oaks. A sweep by Albany would give them the title even though the Craters whip Eugene twice. Riney Cook's hustling Legion Juniors have taken a page from the Craters' book on how to pull ball games from the fire. In that second game at Rose burg Sunday, the Juniors went Into the seventh and final in ning trailing by 3 to 4 count, and when it was all over the Medford club had a 9 to 4 conquest. You can't beat that kind of spirit and hustle; that ability to come from behind when the chips are down. It's been that way with the local Juniors all season. They are a great "money" team. In their first series, with Marsh field, the coast club won the first game; then the locals bounced back to grab two and the series. Against Roseburg, the Douglas county team trim med Medford right here in their own back yard; then Sunday Cook's club plastered on that double shellacking, for the dis trict championship. Riney really has done a tine job coaching the young sters. They know how to fteld their positions, run bases and stand up there at the plate and take level cuts. They should give the district 3 champions, probably Eu gene, a iougli tussle for the right to go Into the finals at Seaside during the Amer ican Legion state convention In August. Jimmy Rego, In that 2 to 1 win over Bend Sunday in the nightcap of a doubleheader, pulled a muscle In his leg and McLean pitched to the lest two hitters In the final Inning. . . . the injury is not serious. . . . Bill Bowerman. back from C. M. T. C, said the army wasn't fooling in getting the reserve Into fighting shape. . . . there was very little marching.

Klein the Tailor Medco PECCIA, STEINER TO OPPOSE EACH Game to Shatter Triple Deadlock for Loop Lead- Catholic Men Play Copco Cames Tonight, American league: Catholic Men vs. Copco. 8 p. m.; Medco vs. wooden Box, 9 p. m. Na tional league: Faber's vs. Gasco, 8 p. m.; Teamsters vs. Elks, 9 p. m. Those two red-hot American league Softball rivals Medford Corporation and Wooden Box renew their bitter feuding at the stadium tonight in a 9 o'clock clash that will break a triple tie now existing among themselves and Fluhrer's Bread- eaters. Morrle Stelner Is slated to pitch for Medco and Joe Peccia for Wooden Box. The last time these two hurlers and teams collided the Boxmen shelled Stelner from the mound and went on to nab a 13 to 4 vic tory. That was the first defeat suffered by Medco, champs last year and winners of the first two rounds in the current cam paign, thus far this season, and to say the setback was dis tasteful to the Clarence English team Is an understatement. They are gunning for revenge to night, but Wooden Box is Just as determined to win. The game should be the best of the summer. Another American loon tilt. between Catholic Men and Cop co. will start at 8 o'clock. Na tional league games will find rabers and Gasco meeting at 8 and Teamsters playing Elks at 9. L The annual water first aid and life-saving school of the Medford CCC district got un der way Monday morning at Twin Plunges in Ashland, with 52 enrollces reporting to In structor Walter L.

Actual water tests will be conducted at Twin Plunges every morning from 0-30 to 11:45. while lectures and writ ten tests will be given during the afternoons at the district exchange at the Medford fair grounds.

July 23. ijp) Ab Jenkins braked his Mormon Meteor to a stop here this morning, leav ing behind on the deeply rutted tracks of three saline race courses the shattered remnants of 21 world's speed records. The doughty Salt Lake Citv mayor flashed across the fin ish line of his 24-hour snerd grind at 8:33 a. m. (MST) to UPSTAIRS Faces Boxmen in Crucial Softball Clash complete his conquest of all the world's land speed records from SO kilometers to 3,000 miles, and from one hour to 24 most of them his own. His average for the hour-hour grind, during which he was oc casionally relieved at the wheel of the Mormon Meteor, was 101.18 miles per hour, nearly four miles faster than the world's standard he set up last year of 137.27 miles per hour. HERE WEDNESDAY Softball as It is played ac cording to the rules, and soft ball as it Is staged by players aboard donkeys will be the treat presented Medford sport fans Wednesday night under the lights at the fairgrounds field. The local Lions club, which is bringing a string of donkeys to the city for the hilarious at traction, will tangle with the Fluhrer's Breadeaters Softball club in the donkey game. Previous to this tilt, however, will be a regulation game be tween Fluhrer's and the Pine Boxers of Ashland, leaders in the Ashland City league. This game will start at 8 o'clock, with the donkey donnybrook getting under way an hour earlier. While the donkey game, nat urally, is the big attraction, fans will probably witness a fine softball fracas when Fluh rer's and the Ashland team come together. Charlie War ren, well-known ex - Ashland high star athlete, does the fling ing for the Pine Boxers, while Don Gettling does the receiving. SALEM SENATORS IN EUGENE, 6 TO 3 Eugene, July 23.

E BEATS WAGNER IN FEATURE GRAPPLE Dangerous Danny McShane, the Hollywood Jitterbug, pranced unscathed through a tough six-man battle royal and wound up his evening's mat activities by walloping George Wagner in the final match of last night's great wrestling card In the armory, witnessed by some 1,000 fans and their ladies' night guests. Danny and George, finalists In the battle royal, staged a gruelling main event, but the former light-heavyweight cham pion was a little too strong, sly and, of course, unorthodox. The bout went 30 minutes be fore McShane put over the de ciding tumble. Wagner, attempting to wrestle clean, took a severe beating for about 20 minutes as McShane followed his usual pattern of dirt. Danny scored with a pain ful arm hold, but at the 21 minute mark Wagner suddenly cut loose with a series of punches to McShane's whiskers and unleashed three sonnen- bergs that flattened the Holly wood horror. The third one paid off, and Wagner pinned Danny with a body press for the first fall. Nine minutes later the match was all over. Wagner, again fir ing sonnenbergs, appeared to be on the verge of winning the match, but McShane met one of George's headlong rushes with a knee to the groin, pick ed Wagner up and gave him a terrific piledriver for the fall. George was unable to continue, so the victory went to Mc Shane by default. In probably the best match of the evening, Otis Clingman took two out of three falls from Pete Belcastro in the middle event, grabbing the third tum ble in the fourth canto with a stunning slingshot back through the ropes that leveled Belcastro and Referee Earl Yoakley and enabled him to pin Pete with a press. Three dropkicks to Belcastro's chin in the second round gave Clingman the first fall, but Bel castro came back to equalize the score in the third round with punches to the button and a press. It was a wild and wooly match, with the referee becom ing entanled several times with the two struggling gladiators. Jimmy Goodrich took a one fall victory over young Joe Ly nam In the opening event, win ning his fall in the first round with a potent arm bar over his leg, which forced Lynam to give up. In the second round Good rich torpedoed Lynam with a scries of sonnenberg's, the last of which struck Joe in the groin and put him out of action for the rest of the night. How ever, Goodrich, showing fine sportsmanship, refused to take the fall, claiming to the referee TAKE 1111 1! ANY BRAND Of 4YTAR0LD BOTTUO-INBOKO WHISKEY L... Sana a win ' ' .

The battle royal sent the large crowd into near-hysterics as the six grapplers pulled the pin and went hog wild. Mc Shane and Belcastro, lone mean ies in the ring, failed to coop erate with each other, and in fact staged a -sweet brawl of their own. Lynam was the first elimin ated, going down under the combined efforts of Wagner, Belcastro and Goodrich. The rest of them then dogpiled Goodrich, and Clingman was next as McShane clouted him on the chin and pinned him. McShane and Belcastro then collided in a private slugfest, and at the right moment Wag ner stepped In and belted Bel castro to the carpet, where he was pinned. OPEN AS ALWAYS Due to a misconstruing of the 1940 bird hunting laws, as re leased by the state game commis sion recently, many local hunters were led to believe the pheasant season had been closed in south ern Oregon. A news release from the game commission, however, makes it clear that Jackson, Josephine, Coos and the southern part of Douglas counties will be open to pheasant hunting from Octo ber 15 to 31, inclusive, the same as last year. The entire Willamette valley will again be closed to pheasant and upland bird hunting, as will certain areas in western Oregon, according to the game commis sion. Hunters In Jackson, Jose phine, Coos and southern Doug las counties will be able to enjoy their sport as usual, it was em phasized. C0L0RAD0Y0UTH T Detroit. July 23.
