PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 26. 1941 Sport Graphs .: O Billy Hulen Says: New Ice Arena To Be Available For . Pro Hockey Team If Bobby Rowe, owner of the Portland Buck! In tht Northwest Ice Hockey league, la tuccesaful In hli attempt to organize an eight-team Pacific coast circuit, with four cluba In the northwest and four In California. Medford sporti followers will probably have the opportunity ot witness ing at least one game between two oro teams this winter. That's the tentative plan of incorporators of the Medlora ice arena, which will ba con structed on South Fir street ana be open for business about No vember 1. With northern teams of the league traveling to Cali fornia and vice versa this winter, it is believed that arrangements can be made for a couple of the pro clubs to stop off in Medford for an exhibition game or so. Rink facilities offered the professional teams will ba as fine as any on the coast, and should go a long way toward Inducing the play-for-pay boys to stop over for a game. The ice surface will be standard hockey else. SO by 185 feet, the same as in Portland, which boasts the largest surface on the western seaboard. In case Medford, In years to come, decides to sponsor a pro fessional team, the surface will be official In every respect. But regardless of whether the pro game Is ever played here, were will be plenty of hockey In the form of amateur teams.- Plans are already being formulated for a City league and there la a possibility that clubs will enter the loop from other southern Oregon towns. Well, Bud Conlin has finally produced his all-star southern Oregon baseball team sine 1827, and it's not bad. not bad. Bud, who modestly leaves himself off the club (we'd put him out there somewhere), believes It would beat any team in the State league at the present time, and challenges some ot the other fans ot the past 14 years to select a better one. Here Is Bud's outfit. In batting order: . Don McShane, third base, Medford. 1927 Dick Lewis, shortstop, Cllmore Lions. 1929; Duke Marlowe, center field. BOAS. 1927) Paul Hot fard, rlghtfleld.

Grants Pass, 1927, catch ers; Curt Davis, BOAS, 1927. and Cliff Best. Medford. 1929, . pitchers. Of the above Conlin all-stars, McShane Is now scouting for the Cleveland Indians, Dick Lewis is still playing ball with the local Rogues, Paul Hoffard is managing the Rogues, Harry Dunn has given up baseball for farming, Al Drolette la umpir ing in the Oregon State league, and Curt Davis is pitching for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Look magazine, out today, takes a crack at forecasting the outcome of the 1941 grid season through George Klrksey, well known sports writer. Kirksey predicts great success for Minne sota, Fordham, Texas, Stanford. Alabama, Missouri, Colgate and Duke, and warns fans to keep an eye on Cornell, Notre Dame. Santa Clara. Tulsa, Texas Tech and Utah, among others. Kirksey, not content with predicting team success, came up with an all-American team as follows! Blalock, Clemson and Russell, Baylor, endii Od son. Minnesota and Rsinhard. California, tackleti Frankow ski. Washington and Wyhontc. Alabama, guards; Bravely.

Young Southerner Leads SKIP ALEXANDER POSTS 67 SCORE Six Birdies Produce 5-Under-Par Card Bud Ward Shoots 73 Billows Trails. Omaha, Aug. 28. ( Stew art (Skip) Alexander of Burling ton, N. C, seriously endangered his chances of winning the qualifying medal in the 45th national amateur golf champion ship by going five over par on hia second round at the Omaha field club today for a 36-hole total of 144. The 23-year-old southerner was 10 shots higher than on his opening round, and left the door open for challengers from such first-round low scorers as Johnny Burke of Chicago, work ing on a 88; Otto Greiner of Baltimore. Ellsworth Vines of Los Angeles and Ted Bishop of Boston, who had par 72's, and former tltlebolders Marvin (Bud) Ward and Johnny Good man and Glenn Oatman of Kan sas City,' who shot 73 s yester day. Ward moved in four shots back of Alexander by shooting a three-over-par 79 that gave him 148. He was out In even par, but lost three strokes on the back nine for a 39.

Out In front as the field swung Into the final 18 holes of qualifying play was a compara tive "unknown." Stewart (Skip) Alexander, Jr., of Burlington. N. C, the pace-maker on a bril liant five-under par 87. One stroke back was John P. Burke of Chicago, while far back were such, favorites as Bud Ward, Ray Billows and Harry Todd. And right ahead was the day's qualifying wtndup and a Wednesday-through-Saturday match play program which promised to hold to the wide-open, free-for-all groove. Hot Putter The 23-year-old southerner who has been classified I B In the draft because of defective vision, had the eyes of an eagle yesterday as he ran down putts of from four to 20 feet for six birdies. He bogied one hole, the 10th, where his tee shot and second iron caught the Field club's tough crab-grass rough. Burke, former national inter collgeiate champion, preceded Alexander to the showers with a 88 which showed five birdies and one bogie. Three shots back, bracketed at 72, were Otto Greiner of Baltimore, tho, ex- tennis king, Ellsworth Vines and Ted Bishop, the New Eng land champion. Ward, the Spokane star who won the championship in 1939 and is the general favorite, came in with a 73 after bogylng the 13th and 17th holes. He was bracketed with another ex-cham. plon and the home-town pride, Johnny Goodman, the 1937 ama teur king. A third 73 shooter was Glenn Oatman of Kansas City. TWO SACS CALLED UP BY SI.

By Judson Bailey (Associated Press Writer) With the echoes of Sunday's ding-dong twin bill still ringing in everybody's ears, the ' St. Louis Cardinals and Brooklyn Dodgers squared off for another double date today with the pres sure more obviously than ever on the Redbirds. The rain which caused yes terday's scheduled single game to be converted into a double header this afternoon left the Cardinals confronted with the Herculean task of beating the powerful Dodgers twice in one day or retreating from Brook lyn with their National league pennant chances damaged badly. - Brooklyn has held a game and a half lead over the Cards since last Wednesday. They won together and they lost to gether. If the Dodgers divide today's program they will have come out of their crucial four-game series with an even break and their lead untouched. If theyi win both games they will be 3V games ahead. Therefore the only way the Cardinals could do themselves any real good today would be to win two contests and the chances were not bright. Manager Billy Southworth nominated Max Lanier, a young southpaw, for the first encoun ter. For the nightcap South- worth groomed Morton Cooper. Brooklyn banks on two vet erans. Curt Davis and Fred Fitzsimmons, each of whom had had a week's rest and had been going great. BETTINA IN EASY San Francisco, Aug. 28.

The Beacon, N. V., fighter vrns driven to the ropes by three Valentino punches to the head in the opening minutes of the feature 10-roundcr on a United Service Organizations benefit show last night. He was rocked again by a hard left hook to the chin at the start of the second. Then, in quiet proceedings that brought cries for more action from a capacity gather ing of 10.000, Bettlna went on to tieup the lanky San Fran ciscan for nine full rounds, to pester him with constant in fighting and even to put him on the canvas for a nine-count in the seventh.

(IP) When Gus Lesnevich and Taml Mauriello battle tonight for the light-heavyweight title, they won't actually have one eye on the heavyweight championship they'll be too busy with the matter at hand. But they won't be entirely forgetful of the more important class, either. Gus. who hails from Cliff side, N. J., and-is recognized by the National Boxing association as 173-pound boss, already has taken on several full-fledged heavyweights. Taml, a youthful Bronx bomber, has Just grown out of the middleweight class and if he continues to pack on pounds, he'll be up with the big fellows in another year or two.
