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

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. Here la the way
they stand:

The victories of the Tigers
and Yanks were somewhat mar
red, because Schoolboy Rowe,
while getting credit for his ISth
victory, developed shoulder
trouble and retired before De
troit finished a 6-3 triumph over
the Washington Senators, and
Joe DiMaggio of the world
champions, hurt his game leg
again as the Yanks walloped the
St. Louis Browns 9-0.
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.
Boston's Bees copped a free
hitting battle from the Pitts

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.
In the first, Marvin Gudat's
pop fly to left rolled for a triple
with two men on base and two
out. Jo Jo White's single in the
eighth scored Niemiec, who had
opened with a single and been
advanced on a single by Spencer

OUT OF WEED
T;
TO START
Medford high's first tough
scrimmage session of the sea
son yesterday afternoon also
resulted in the first casualty
Ike Orr, letterman fullback,
turned his right ankle in a pile-
up and will probably see no
action against the Weed (Cal.)
high Cougars here next Friday
night in the season's opening
game, - according to Coach Bill
Bowerman.
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.
