PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1940. Sport ' Graphs Billy Hulen Says; Grapple Tourney in Klamath Will Help Game Here The Pacific coast Junior heavy weight wrestling championship tournament currently being staged by Promoter Mack Lil lard at Klamath Falls is certain to whip up interest in the game here, for the simple reason that the excellent grapple talent landing In the Pelican city for tourney action also will appear at the local armory. The tournament, which will last several months, figures to draw a flock of the country s leading matmen of 200 pounds and under, all desirous of haul ing down the $500 cash and the title belt which will go to the winner. While appearing in the Klamath Falls tourney on Tues day nights, the matmen will work here on Monday evenings. Thus, Medford is sure to see the came top-notchers that labor at Klamath Falls. For instance, Bob Kruse, con sidered the greatest exponent of the wristlock In the world, will participate on the armory pro gram here next Monday night prior to hia entrance in the Klamath tourney Tuesday. The Oswego farmer, weighing about 200 pounds, has been on a world wrestling tour that took him to South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and many other places on the map. Krute hasn't appeared her in many years, but he is still remembered as the wrestler who pulled the largest houses ever seen In this town. He is still one of the best in the business, despite his advanc ing years, and Llllard looks for a whopping crowd to turn out next Monday. Who Kruse will go against isn't yet known, but Llllard said he was trying to get Mike Nasarian, unde feated in seven straight tiffs, to face the Portlander. Among the grapplers who have entered the tournament and who will wrestle here be fore the meet is completed are: Dude Chick, Pete Belcastro, Bob Kenaston, Sockeye Jack Mc Donald, Bed Barry, Jimmy Goodrich, Bob Cummlngs, Joe Lynam, Otis Cllngman, George Wagner, Danny McShane, Billy Weidener, Ernie Plluso, Mike Nazarian, Bulldog Jackson, Steve Nenoff, Dutch Schulti, Al Ferona, Jack Hagen, Prince Selaki Mlhalikls, Ben Sherman, Ben Lyons, Joe Toni, Whitey Wahlberg, Bob Kruse, Tony Bommerito, Don Sugai, Billy Raburn, Mr. X, Ace Free man, Don Sebastian, Hans Schultz, Buzz Jones, Navy Nel son, Jesse Jamea and LeRoy McGuirk. The local grid prognostlcators . are already calling the teams they plan to follow to the bitter end, with hard-earned cash, and Just to put the lads on record this is the way some of them figure things: Paul Meyers, Notre Dame; Everett Carkin, Cornell; Leland (Pete) Clark, Oregon State; George Robertson, Minnesota; Irish Coleman, U.

Detroit SCHOOLBOY ROVVE FLINGS 6-3 Mi OVER WASHINGTON Indians Drop Half Game Be hind in Loss to A's Yankees Cling to Leaders By Judson Bailey Associated Press Sports Writer. The daily bulletins on the American league's feverish pen nant fight are about as Informa tive as those that hospitals give out on patients like "condition unchanged" or "resting comfort ably." There Is nothing anybody can do about it, though, because no body In the world right now knows which of the American league patients are going to live and which are going to die. The Detroit Tigers triumphed again yesterday and exchanged places at the top of the league with the Cleveland Indiat ', who lost. The New York Yankees ended a losing streak to move up 3' 4 games from first place, and the Chicago White Sox were idle. Out of this Jumble anything can happen.

Joe's Leg Folds. DiMaggio acquired a charley horse and dropped out In the second inning at St. Louis after driving in three runs. He hoped to be ready to return to duty to day, but wasn't sure. Cleveland's only casualty was Its 4-3 loss to the last-place Philadelphia Athletics. Bill Bcckman kept the tribe check ed on nine hits and the A's squeezed through with the same number off four Indian hurlers. Detroit was outhit, 7-6, and hold scoreless after the third In ning, but a four-run sendoff in the first was all the Tigers ever needed. Rudy York's 29th hom er with one on was surplus. The Yanks made ten hits and benefited from four St. Louis errors while Atley Donald kept six safeties scattered. In the National league the Cincinnati Reds came within a single game of clinching their second straight pennant. With Whitey Moore pitching five-hit ball they edged out the Phillies 2-1 to take an 11-game lead over the Brooklyn Dodgers, who were shut out. 5-0. by the St. Louis Cardinals and have only 11 con tests left to play. The Chicago Cubs put on a six-run uprising in the eighth inning and beat New York 9-8 to extend the Giants' losing streak to nine games.

SEATTLE STOPPED BY OAKLAND, 2-1 Oakland, Sept. 18 OP) The Seattle Rainiers, victims of a "playoff Jinx," were one game down today to the Oakland Acorns In the elimination series for the Coast league's Presi dent's cup. Two unearned runs in the first inning last night were enough to give the Acorns a 2-1 win over the Rainiers. Seattle has never won a playoff series, nor has their manager. Jack Lelivelt.

X-ray pictures taken last night revealed that Orr s ankle was not broken, Bowerman stated "It is either a sprain or a bad bruise." the coach said, "and it is bad enough to probably keep Orr out of the Weed game entirely. With the hard-hitting first string fullback on the bench Bowerman plans to send Cliff Jones, 165-pound sophomore up from Riney Cooks junior high school eleven of last year into that slot to team with Louie Thurman at quarterback, Cato Wray at left half and Curt Hop kins, transfer from Klamath Falls, at right half. One other shift has been made on the squad for the Weed eame Wes Davis, Junior guard, has been unable to practice this week and Bowerman has moved Dick Stout, 170-pound senior right tackle, to Davis' right guard position. Both were first team alternates. Although some of the players have colds, the squad as a whole is in pretty fair condition for the inaugural, the coach said. GARCIA, HOSTAK BATTLE COOKING Seattle, Sept. 18 (Pi Pro moter Nate (Little Tex) Drux man said today he had offered Ceferino Garcia a 10-rbund fight in Seattle against Al Hnstalr in what would be a battle of the has-been ' middleweight cham pionship rivals. Garcia was recognized as world champion in New York and California and Hostak an swered to the title of champ in the other 46 states until their unfortunate meeting with Ken Overlin and Tony Zale, respect ively. In their balmy days, ef forts to get them in a ring to gether were fruitless because their managers couldn't agree on who was to get the champ's share. Hostak has not fought since Zale carte out from Chicago to knock off his crown two months ago. Fights Last Night By the Associated Press. New York Maxie Berger. 144.
