Feminine Bowling Stars
MedfcV. has two pretty good
ball clubs, between which there
existi more than little rivalry,
but as yet we haven't heard
either of them Issuing a chal
lenge to the other tor a game,
or a series, to determine the
city championship ... the way
things stand now, such a series
would be a natural, what with
the Craters languishing In the
cellar of the Oregon State lea
gue, generally accepted as the
fastest semi-pro circuit in the
state, and the Rogues ruling the
oost in the Southern Oregon
Lmti. - - .
Why don't the two clubs get
together for a best iwo-oui-or-ihre
"serious" for the 1941 Med
for title? ... the games could
be strung out over three weeks
and played on Wednesday nights
so as not to interfere wun ineir
regular league contests, and tbey
should draw fine crowds ,
that rivalry existing between
the teams Is no baloney, either;
it's definitely there and at times
has approached the sizzling stage
... yet there have been no chal
lenges issued . . . come on, boys,
let's eet thinss heated up around
here and have some good, old-
fashioned Intra-city i hoot In1
matches . . .
Smoky Joe Spencer, who
Bitched and caught tor me ure
ters when they operated in the
Southern Oregon league two
years ago, Is tha number one
hurler for the Eugene Athletics
of the State loop, and thus far
has one win and no setoacKS
to his credit ... the Craters are
attempting to bring Don Klrsch,
second baseman, and Bill Hamel,
shortstop, both of University of
Oregon northern division, Coast
conference champs, to Medford
when school Is out . . . BUI Cal
vert, Webfoot catcher who'll
strengthen the Craters when he
arrives, Is acting as go-between.
D wlght Catherwood, center,
fielder for the Rogues, is un
doubtedly the class of all the
8. O. L. outer gardners . . .
he has been hitting like a
maniac, and his fly-chasing Is
letter perfect . . . Tommy Har
mon's football fame Is expect
ed to net the ex Michigan
thunderbolt at least 100 grand
. . . Billy Conn did show last
night that he could do con
siderable slugging when he
had to, but we are afraid that
Joe Louis will prove a slight
ly tougher opponent than Bud
dy Knox . . . when Billy and
Joseph meet next month,
ringside chairs will retail at
127 .. .
The other night Pepper Mar
tin's Sacramento Solons pulled
s squeeze play with two gone
and two strikes on ine Dauer
which la camblinK with a cap!
tal G . . . the opposing Infield
was so astounded, naturally,
that no play was made on either
the runner coming In from third
or the batter . . . It's baseball
like that that makes the Solons
the best drawing team in the
lea Hue . . .
Cracks Eddie Brletz of the A
P.: "Last winter a lot of words
were tossed about as to the re
spective salaries of the Messrs.
Bob Feller and Buck Newsom
. . . right now the chief differ
ence appears to be that Feller
Is earning his" . . . Ted Wil
liams, star outfielder of the Bos
ton Red Sox, Is feuding with
the sports writers again, and
Manager Joe Cronln has barred
the fourth estate from the Sox
clubhouse . . .

Billy Conn, waltzing light heavy
weight champ stalking Joe Louis
DoinU proudly to his eighth-
round technical knockout tri
umph over Pudgy Buddy Knox,
Dayton, Ohio, heavyweight, as
a sample of what he "will give
Joe next month."
"I've had the workout I need
ed now and I'm ready for the
bomber," asserted Billy s few
minutes after his thumping lefts
and rights floored Knox three
times and beat him into help
lessness last night before Pitts
burgh's largest fight crowd of
27,043 spectators.
Billy, weighing 180, was lu
pounds lighter than his 24-year-
old opponent. He started so
slowly against Knox that Pro
moter Mike Jacobs could be
seen .writhing in his ringside
seat as he debated whether this
was the man to face Louis.
Then, almost without warning
In the fifth. Conn's flicking left
suddenly became a bolt that
started the Ohioan'a head bob
bing. Knox slipped to his knees
after one of them hit him below
the heart in the sixth, but got
up without a count.
But the next round a series of
four lefts to the head backed
Buddy Into a corner and a right
dropped him for a nine count
He came up Into a fresh storm of
leather and again flopped lor
a toll of eight. The third time
he left the canvas after a nine
count found the bell ending the
round. He couldn't get off his
seat for the eighth.
Conn's hometown stand
brought him the biggest purse
of his career a 33 13 per cent
slice of the $68,000 house,
