Billy Hulen Says; '
Paige May Pitch
More Than Single
Inning Wednesday
Satchel Paige and his colored
Kansas City Monarchs play a re
turn engagement here Wednes
day night this time against the
Medford Craters Instead of the
House of Davids and It is hoped
by one and all that Mr. Paige.
whose press clippings, if laid
end to end, would reach from
here to at least Birmingham,
Ala., is able to unravel that her
aided right arm of his for more
than one inning.
Satchel, last Wednesday eve
against the whiskered gents,
wasn't feeling so good. He ate
something up north that didn't
agree with him, and as a result
the sum total of his rubber labor
was a single Inning, during
which he tossed to but four bat
ters. To the 2,500 clients who
jammed the fairgrounds grand
stand, this exhibition wasn't ex
actly what they had paid their
money for. They expected the
giant colored boy to fling at least
three heats.
Now, whether Paige will pilch
more than one inning against the
Craters won t be known until
he shuffles right out to the
mound. As a matter of fact, It
is possible he won't even hurl
one frame. He might still be
suffering from stomach pains,
although by now he should be
out of his misery.
A House of David player,
' prior io the game last week,
told us that nobody ever knew
how much Paige would pitch
until the time came for him
to actually take the hill. As
the Davids player explained
It. the big Negro worked one
inning at times, three at
others, four or five at others.
' and sometimes, when he le)l
Just right, the entire nine
stansas.
While we are making no pre
dictions, we have a hunch that
Satchel will give local fans a
nice, long look at his elbowing
ability against the Craters.
Satchel knows that many cus
tomers were disappointed here
last week, and we have an idea
he will try to make them forget
his previous hasty appearance
by flinging a goodly number of
innings.
Medford's first season In the
powerful Oregon State league
has been completed, and by
every reckoning the Craters
made their debut in success
ful fashion. No pennant wiH
flutter from the local flagpole,
as many over-optimistic per
sons looked for, but the Cra
ters did earn lhe runner-up
spot a highly commendable
position for a first-year team.
Medford finished the first-half
race in second place, with 11
wins and three defeats, and tied
with Bend for second spot in the
second-half chase, with eiulit
victories and six setbacks. The
Craters' aggregate won and lost
record, for both halves, was 19
wins and nine losses for a per
centage of .679, which would be
good enough to cop pennants in
most circuits. Albany, first half
champs and still tied with Eu
gene for the second half flag.i
was the only club to show a '
higher aggregate percentage ov-j
er the full season, lhe Oaks won '
23 and lost four for a mark of
.832. Eugene's agKregale was 17
won and 10 lost for .630; Silver-

Rumors that bitter deten

Llghtner's triple previously

DANNY IN TORRID
ARMORY GRAPPLE
Ernie Piluso abruptly halt
ed the two-match winning streak
of Dangerous Danny McShane
in the armory last night, grab
bing a two-out-of-three-fall ver
dict in a main event that sent
a large crowd of ladies' night
ers home talking to themselves.
In a wild climax that saw
both wrestlers and Referee Earl
Yoakley take turns sailing
through the ropes, Piluso was
awarded the third and deciding
fall when the Hollywood Jitter
bug lost control of his emo
tions and heaved the arbiter
into the ringside seats. That
was going too far, so far as
Yoakley was concerned, and
when he staggered back through
the ropes he hoisted Piluso's
hand In token of victory.
McShane, dirty as usual, gain
ed the initial tumble in eight
minutes with a leg strangle,
but Piluso came raging back
to sonnenberg and body-press
the villain into submission one
minute later.
For the next few minutes the
action was hysterical, as Mc
Shane roughed and slugged
Ernie and the latter went wild
and mauled everybody within
hailing distance. McShane slam
med Piluso out of the ring,
and Piluso leveled Danny with
a slingshot back through the
ropes. Finally, at the nine
minute mark, McShane picked
Yoakley up and threw him into
the customers, and the referee
wasted little time in coming
back to award the match to
Piluso.
Mike Nazarlan, mean Ar
menian, ran true to form In
the middle event. He was un
couth and ungentlemanly, and
as expected he defeated popu
lar George Wagner In a tough
battle.
Wagner employed a series of
body slams and a press to win
a fall In the second round hut
I that was his last bid for vic
tory. In the fourth heat Na-
zarlan forced George to give iid
as he clamped on a painful
arm twist, and the match ended ,
in the next round when Na-1
zarian slapped on the

Location for Louis Versus
Conn or Pastor Undecided
By Bid Fader
New York. Aug. 6. (JP) With the gorgeous figure of
Madcap Maxie Baer apparently painted out of the title picture.
"Ertist" Mike Jacobs is getting ready to sketch the winner of
next week's Bob Pastor-Billy Conn tussle in against Joe Louis in
September, wherever there s the best demand for such art.
Into his Broadway studio,
committees are coming almost
daily to see what they can do
about landing this fall spectacle.
He's already entertained propo
sitions from Detroit, Chicago.
Pittsburgh and Washington.
Madcap Maxie was supposed
to get the title shot, as a result
of his recent win over Tony the
Globular Galento. But Madcap
Maxie has the idea that if he
risks life and limb against Louis
again, anywhere, it should be
worth a guarantee of $30,000
And, ever since Mike had to
dig "way down into the sock1
to pay off the costly collection
of ivory for his "carnival of
champions" some four years ago
he s guaranteeing "nuthin to
nobody."
A week ago, Mike announced
that Conn, if he passed Pastor
next Tuesday in the Polo
Grounds, would get Louis ai a
"reward." Today he expanded
that to include, Pastor, and
added that Detroit, Chicago and
Washington have approached
him on a third set-to between
tne Domoer and Bobby, pro
vided Bob takes care of Conn
in the approved manner.
As Jot a Conn-Louis get-together
if Pretty Boy Billy does
that thing to Pastor it's be
tween Pittsburgh and New
York.
But Jacobs said this much to
day: "If Conn wins next week, and
by a kayo or by a lop-sided edge,
I'll have to put him in with
Louis right here in New York."
