Billy Hulen Says;
McShane, Pete
May Grapple On
Next Week Card
Danny McShane and Pete Bel
eastro, who flatly refused to
combine their off-color grapple
tactica against the four legltt
mate gents in Monday'i battle
royal, may be tossed at each
other in next weeks main
vent
The two ruffians not only
failed to pool their riotous re
sources in said battle royal,
but actually flew into each
other like a couple of angry
Hey cats. They acted like
they didn't like each other a
little bit, and Promoter Mack
Llllard believes the pair could
provide a scorching contest if
left to their own devices.
Llllard said today he would
do his best to get both their
OK's to the match, and added
that he didn't think the Job
would be difficult. Only one
thing might stymie the match,
ha explained, and that was the
matter of financial guarantee to
McShane, who certainly looks
out for Mrs. McShane's son,
Danny. However, Mack pre
dicted, any difficulties along
those lines should be fairly easy
to iron out, what with another
near-capacity crowd expected.
Joe Wharton's weekly toll
ing report from Grants Pass
says thai the cool, cloudy and
occasional rainy weather of
the past week has greatly
Improved angling conditions
along the middle section of
the Rogue river.
Fly fishing for small trout
has been exceptionally good.
Wharton reported, with many
ntmrods getting limit catches
en California hackles, special
red ant and similar patterns very
lightly dressed on small hooks.
No large steelhrads have yet
been taken in this water. In
dicating that the summer run
Is rather late getting started,
Wharton reported. However,
news from Gold Beach was to
the effect that a good run has
been coming in at the mouth
of the river and is due upstream
shortly.
The Craters are still In the
running for the state semi-pro
baseball championship, despite
that 2 to 7 setback at the hands
of Albany Monday eve. It
takes two losses to knock a
club Irrevocably out of the
tournament, and as that was
Medford's first defeat, they still
have ont to go before sur
rendering hope.
The way it stands now, Med
ford Is slated to play Jack and
Jill Tavern of Portland next
Friday night at Silverton. Jack
and Jill lost to B. and O. last
night, so fell Into the once
beaten bracket Just like the
Craters did when Bed Miller
nailed them to the cross Mon
day. II Is a terrible road to the
title from here on out,
though, and we believe It Is
next to Impossible. Just look
at the Criter schedule from
bow on to the championship
game next Wednesday night.
If they get lheroi Friday night
against the JUlers, back to
Medford for tnelr Eugene
State league aeries Saturday
ve and Sunday afternoon,
back to Silverton for games
Monday and Tuesday nights.
In other words, starting Fri
day night, the Craters will plav
six straight days without a
break that Is, of course, if
they are to hammer through to
the crown. They mav be able
to do It, but the odds seem
stacked far too heavily against
them.

LIONS CLUB TO
MEET FLUHRER'S
IN CRAZY GAME
Pine Box of Ashland to Play
Fluhrer's in Regulation
Game at 8 o'Clock
Softball on donkeys, the fun-
niest by-product of sports ever
Invented, will be displayed at
the lighted fairgrounds field to
night, between teams composed
of members of the Medford
Lions club and of Fluhrer's
Breadeaters, the latter club one

pitcher, who In turn must throw
for the out. A player is safe
on basa it the donkey has one
or more feet on the base.
Strong Lineup.
The pitcher and catcher are
not allowed to get out of their
boxes to get the ball. Fielders
going after the ball must ride
to the ball, get off their mule,
pick up the ball, and remount
before throwing It to the
pitcher.

Lions club team, announced to

Clarence English, manager of

afternoon he was entering a pro
test of wooden Box s victory on
the grounds that the latter club
used an ineligible player. Eng
lish said that Al Wray got hi
release from Fluhrer's Bread
eaters before the game and im
mediately signed with Wooden
Box.
Wray, English stated, should
not have been allowed to play
until he remained on the side
lines one game after being re
leased and signing with another
team. The Medco manager said
he would file a protest with Al
Piche, president of the softball
association, and E. H. Hedrick,
field manager.
Wooden Box's fart - coming
gang of softballers shot Into
the American league leadership

decisive 7 to 4 triumph over
Medco. It was the Boxmen's
second straight victory over last
year's champs and winners of
the first two rounds of the cur
rent campaign.

clinching tallies in the first in
ning, scoring three times after
two were out, on Boyle's sin
gle, Piche's sacrifice, D'Arcy's
j infield out and booming triples
! by Hank Pacheco and Al Wray.
From then on the Boxmen were
never headed.
With the score 7 to 1 in the
seventh and final Inning. Pitch
er Joe Peccia of the Boxmen
eased up and Medco punched
three runs across the plate on
four hits and a base on balls.

winners and Swanson and Hof
fard swatted two-beggers for
Medco.
In notching his second win
over Medco. Peccia whiffed
eight and walked seven, while
allowing nine hits. Morria

losers, fanned two and walked
the same number. He was
touched for 10 blows.
Catholic Men grabbed a
thrilling 3 to 1 victory from

VICTORY OVER SEATTLE
By the Associated Press.
Just at midnight a Portland
rookie struck one.
He struck It fair and hard,
and it brought in another rookie
from second base with the run
that beat the Seattle Rainlers,
Pacific Coast baseball league
leaders, 3 to 2. in the ninth
inning of a scheduled seven
Inning game.
The witching hour single by
plnchhitter Arlte Schwab,
which scored outfielder Berg
strom, gave the lowly Port
landers the first win of their
last 11 games against Seattle
including the first game of last
night's doubleheader, won by
Seattle. 4 to 1.
Annther bright spot last night
was Hollywood's feat of down
ing the second-place Oakland
Acorns 13 to 6.
Oakland's impotent rage was
puny compared to that of Dick
Newsome, Stn Diego pitcher,
who lost to Sacramento, 9 to 2.
Blasted for 12 hits, the furious
Newsome wound up and threw
the ball over the grandstand.
The umpire took the cue and
threw Newsome out of the ball
game.
Lou Novikoff's double and
three singles led Los Angeles.
7 to 4. hit parade over San

Right out of the nowhere. intO - '

Mike is leaving here Monday j

No one to see the fight except a ' "d to n e Royal Atr
referee and the necessary cam
eramen and assistants. Then,
with the outcome of the fight
a deep, dark secret, release the
film simultaneously in motion
pictures throughout the country.
Jacobs believes that in the
near future the real money in
prizefight promotion will come
from movie and television right.
He hit on his latest idea when
the ban on the transportation
of fight films across state lines
was lifted a few months ago.
Now there isn't a wet blanket
waver anywhere in my family
line, but I feel it my duty to
point out to Promoter Jacobs a
few of the flaws in his scheme.
I might as well beat some un
friendly sanity commission to it,
don't you think?
Let us consider the filming of
Baer and Louis as a grade A.
super colossal, four-bells-and-a-lemon
production. The chances I
are that it wouldn't last more
than a minute or two. and Holly-
i wood, as I recall, hasn't taken up
the production of short;short
shorts quite yet. The movie mo
guls go more for fifteen reelers.
twelve reelers. eight reelers and
the like. They might balk at
producing and releasing a '4
inch reeler. Baer doesn't figure
to last with Joe long enough for
the proper credits (you know
Trunks by Adrian. Resin by
Pinetree. Inc.. Shoes by Brogans
Beautiful, Music by Luther
Swish, etc.l and these are darn
important to Hollywood.
"In Technicolor"
Why, the show wouldn't last
long enough for the proper tech
nicolor plug. And it would be
in technicolor, too. with the com
bination of Joes fists and Max
ie's nose providing the color.
Now about that simultaneous
release gag. Due to the varia
tion in time in different parts
of the country, customers in New
York would know the outcome
four hours before customers in
Los Angeles did. What would
