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. Bill
explained, the boys being given
plenty of actual combat drill
Instead. , . .

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.

HERE WEDNESDAY
Softball as It is played ac

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

come together. Charlie War

high star athlete, does the fling

Don Gettling does the receiving.

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

that he had struck Lynam low.
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
