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

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

(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. (Pi
It took one round for Melio
Bettlna to accustom himself
to his opponent, and after
that victory was easy for the
former light-heavyweight cham
pion over Pat Valentino of San
Francisco.
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.

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.
At any rate, they're due to
settle ownership of the light
heavy crown in tonight's 15
round tussle in Madison Square
Garden.
