Newspaper Page Textpsnv. two MEDFORD MATL TRTBUNT?. MEDFORD OREGON', MONDAY. AUGUST 12, 1940. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; Softball Champ From Waahington Play Here Friday Softball hasn't made ita final 1940 appearance in Medford after all. There remains one evening of the sport and it has all the earmarks of being the best of the entire season. Next Friday nlRht the Ray Oil Burners of Seattle, billed as three-time Washington state champions, will appear under the lights at the high school sta dium in a doubleheader against Wooden Box and Medco, cham pions and runners-up of the Med ford city league. The barnstormers will go against Medco In the first game at 8 o'clock, then take on the powerful Boxmcn an hour later. It will be the last home appear ance of the season for the latter club, which won the district tournament at Klamath Falls last week and will enter the state tourney at Salem, starting Au gust 20. The Saatile team will come here with a highly-publicised pitching staff, led by Speed Ball Mattey, a six-foot-four-Ineh colored boy whose record in the past two years of com. petition is said to be 41 games won and none lost. King Kong Cowan, called the fourth best flingar in the nation, pitched two no-hit, no-run games In the Chicago tournament last year, according to adrance publicity from tho Seattleiies. Comes another all-star Oregon State league baseball team this time from the brain of Don Mc Fadden, who managed the Eu gene Athletics during most of the past season before being transferred to Medford by his company, Consolidated Freight ways, Inc. At our invitation Don kindly got out his pencil and paper over long, cool one and went about naming his own all-star club in this fashion: First base Ken Manning of the Silverton Red Sox. "Head and shoulders above any of the others." Second base Rlney Cook of the Medford Craters. "I pick Cook in there because I believe he'll outhit Albany'! Billy Moye and Eugene s Monroe Dean, and he'll field almost as well." Shortstop Riley Richards of the Albany Alco-Oaks. "Don Klrsch of Silverton and Wally Graser of Bend get honorable mention." Third base Johnny Dunn of the Eugene Athletics. "1 may be prejudiced here, but I think Dunn was the best of the bunch." (So do we. Don.) Left field Bill Carney of the Eugene Athletics. "Carney, In my opinion, was even better than Dick Whitman." Center field Dick Whitman of the Silverton Red Sox. "You can't keep Whitman out of any all-star lineup." Right field Alan Wray of the Medford Craters. "A power hit ter from way back and a fine fly-chaser." Catcher Joe Leptleh of the Albany Alco-Onks. "What a hit ter, and pretty fair receiver, too." Pitchers Glenn Elliott, Al bany; Boh Wiltshire. Eugene and Jimmy Rreo, Medford. "With that mound staff a club would be a cinch for the pennant." Thanks, Don. A baseball game attendee, whose name we didn't bother to learn, and a player who has received columns of favorable publicity this season, took is sue with the writer Sunday for the story we wrote on the Eaturday night farce. It seems that we shouldn't have put in plain Enqlish thai the contest was called off in the seventh Inning to save the visitors fur ther punishment, that we shouldn't have mentioned the fact that a couple of Craters stole bases backwards, and that. Instead, we should have smoothed over the sorry de tails and made excuses for the Klamathitei so that fans would have flocked to the park Sun day under the misapprehen sion they would see a good ball game. We would like to point out that the Mail Tribune has bent over backwards this year to pub licize, ami (.ft -Drably, the Craters and ail their doings. Ball games played ut the fairgrounds park have received many inches of space, both before and after the tilts. As a cold matter of fact, this paper has supported the Cra ters and their games as much if not more, than any other news paper has ballyhnoetl its own team in any other city in the state. But here is the point. We re fuse to be a propaganda agent for the Craters or any other team. If n hall game Is slow and unintcicMiv; we roerve the right to say so in print, the Piluso to Brawl FANS HOPE E WHAMS PETE INTO Nazarian, Kenaston Clash in Middle Event Hagen in Debut with Goodrich Ernie Piluso faces Pete Bel castro in the one-hour main event of tonight's armory grap pling program, and fans are hop ing the former Multnomah club amateur luminary does the same thing to the Weed Italian that he accomplished with Dangerous Danny McShane on last week's card. It will be remembered that Piluso whacked Jitterbug Dan ny In fairly decisive fashion last Monday night. He sonnenberg ed the daylights out of McShane to win one fall, then was award ed the match when the Holly wood menace tossed Referee Earl Yoakley out of the ring. The majority of local clients aren't particular Just how Piluio goes about trimming Belcastro just so he does It. They would like, of course, to witness Ernie come through with two straight tumbles In about 30 seconds, but if this can't be done, any old way will be OK. The main thing is that Piluso wins. Belcastro may prove a slight ly tougher opponent for Ernie than was McShane. The Weed horror Is rougher than McShane, bigger and more of an out-and-out dirt slinger. When Belcas tro cuts loose with his foul stuff he becomes the number one bad boy of the ring, and he has In timated he will op?n up as never before against the popular Pi luso. Same Tactics. Mike Nazarian and Bob Ken aston, a couple of rowdies, will collide in the middle event slat ed for six 10-mlnute rounds or the best two out of three falls. Nazarian Is undefeated here. Kenaston has been beaten many times, but he's also won hit share of matches. They'll both throw scientific Ideas to the winds and slug It out. Clean, clever, ISO-pound Jack Hagen of Shreveoort, La., will make his southern Oregon do. but In the opener, going against Jimmy Goodrich, the former Notre Dame gridiron hero. Goodrich, like his opponent, is a legitimate workman.

IV) The rosy dream of building Billy Conn into a bulging-muscled heavyweight lias turned out to be Just another night mare again. The Pittsburgh pretty boy was expected to scale about 180 pounds for his tule tomorrow niRht with Bob Pastor in the Polo grounds. Instead, it now appears he will be lucky to get past the 175-pound limit for light heavyweignts a division from which he is about to "ab dicate" while still ruler in or der to campaign fcr the heavy sugar among the big boys. At his camp near scenic Gro singer's lake lie was 180 as late as last Monday. But Tuesday his boils came back. He flew to Pittsburgh to have one treat ed and had to take hot baths as part of the cure. Closing time fcr Tro Late to Clas sify Ads ii 1 .90 p. m ROUND -UP DAYS P. M. p. m.

" 7 T 7 O MARUYAMA BEATS; Yoshia Maruynma, the little Japanese racqueteer with the court ability of a giant, enjoyed a large diy on the junior high school cement Sunday. First, he took a sizzling duel from Nevin Cope, 6-3, 7-5, 8-0. in the finals of the Jackson county tennis tournament. Then, he paired with his sin gles opponent to win the dou bles title from Otto Kreuger and Dick Porterfield in a hard fought four-set struggle, 8-1. 6-8. 7-5, 8-2. The Linfield college star's singles match with Cope was fought from the baseline, with both relying on deep drives and power rather than finesse ai.d placements. Maruyama was a little steadier and hit just a lit tie harder in the driving duel, which was torrid the first two sets but slacked off in the third heat as the winner's shots be gan to take their toll in Cope's errors. In the doubles final. Maru- yama and Cope showed too much punch for Krueger and Porterfield. After winning the first set rather easily, Maruyama and Cope dropped the next as their opponents rallied, but the former pair came back to grab the crucial third set and run out the match in the next.

OP Don't let Bobby Riggs" ridicu lous duck waddle and his boy. ish manners disarm you. They hide one of the shrewdest braini in tennis. Ask Don McNeill, the national clay courts champion, who was almost ready to feel sorry for the supposedly-slipping national champion before they took to the courts for the eastern grass courts final yes'erday. For Don was the gallery Idol, the man who was to deliver tennis from a champion who hasn't exactly been overwhelm ed with popularity. But Don was victimized by "Ruby Rob ert," 6-2, 3-6. 7-5, 6-4, simply because the little guy is able to visualize every opponent's weakness, and is fully able to rise to whatever occasion pre sents itself. Gardnar Mulloy and Heni-y Prusoff of Seattle downed Mc Neill and Frankia Parker, 6-4, 6-3, 19-21, 6-2, in the men's doubles: and Alice Marble and Sarah Palfrey beat Mary Hard wick and Valerie Scett, 6-4, 6-3 in the women's event.
