PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1942. Tigers Hosts To Roseburg Tonight and Grants Pass Saturday Night Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says: Cantonment Will Boom Attendance ' For Local Sports Proiperouf days ere evidently Just around that well-known corner for every local aport from professional wrestling to duck-Din bowling. From a financial standpoint, never hai the tporta future of this community appeared so brleht - The reason, of course. Is the coming of the army cantonment, with its some 3S.R00 soldiers, plus the hefty lnceaae in the civilian population the army camp will be responsible for. During the construction per iod thousands of workmen will be receiving fat pay checks, a portion of which will be spent on amusements of all kinds. Lo cal sports enterprises will get their share. After the cantonment Is completed and the fighting men have taken over, there will be so decrease In turn- ; stile activity. Soldiers like amusement too, and when they come to town they'll flood any and all places where It can be found. T TAKE BOTH TILTS TO STAY IN RACE - 1 Sophs Play Butte Falls In Tonight's Prelim Face G. P. Sophs On Saturday. off In the 30th inning Tuesday when Cochran suffered a atom ach ailment. At that time Rei- selt was ahead. 14 to 17. Willie kept his tournament record in order last night by defeating Joe Chamaco of Mex lco City, 60 to 46, In 42 Inn ings, thereby eliminating the Mexican mm title considers tlon. FOR $150,000 ON Promoter Mack Lillard, plan ning to bring wrestling back to the armory in about a month. Is understandlngly optimistic when he talks of what the mat cards should draw in the way of patronage. He is so certain the gladiators will pull the customers In large numbers that he's already working out plans to increase the seating capacity of the Bart lett street maulery. And he's even toying with the Idea of adding a weekly boxing show to his repertoire. Lillard and his wrestling won't be alone In receiving the shot in the arm the cantonment will provide. Every sport in the city will benefit. High school sports, principal ly football and basketball, will undoubtedly gain many new patrons. Perhaps not so much from the army camp. Itself, as from the thousands of civilians expected to move Into Medford. It will be the same with base ball. The Craters should enjoy their most successful season, from the treasurer's point of view, and we look to see a lot of those bonds retired before next autumn rolls around. The Medford Ice Arena, which reportedly has been do ing just fair, will come In for Its share of the new business. As a matter of fact, this con cern will probably feel the soothing effect of Increased rev enue more than any other local sports deal. The soldiers are ex pected to really go for ice skat ing. Bight down the sports line the future looks awfully good. Earl Sims and his bowling alley will be swamped, or we're mistaken. The Rogue Valley and the public golf courses will get plenty of play. The annual Medford rodeo should make more money then ever before and even the catfish derby will be run off before the largest crowd In Its history. The cantonment, of course, will have athletic facilities and games of its own to provide recreation and amusement for the soldiers. But that won't keep the troops from patronis ing local sports enterprises when they come to town. It might. In fact, help Medford sports by converting Into fans many young men whose inter ests In the past hsd been point ed in other directions. How long this expected cantonment-induced sports boom will last, nobody can say. But for a time, anyway, the lush days will be here again. wW stall TTtbun want ads. Medford high school basket ball players have got to get In there and pitch tonight and to morrow or they'll be practically out of the conference running for the year of our Lord 1942. And the foes for the week-end conference frays are pretty tough opposition. Tonight in the Medford senior high school gymnasium, the Tig ers will tangle with Roseburg and tomorrow night with Grants Pass. Medford hasn't played Roseburg yet this season. The Tigers, however, have beaten Grants Pass by 7 points and Roseburg has beaten Grants Pass by 4 points; so you can see how tough the playing for the next two nights is going to be. Incidentally Russ Achesnn, Medford coach, is hoping the warming up of conference play will bring out enough fans to make things Interesting. Thus far the Tigers haven't taken In enough to meet expenses. But Russ hopes that as the play gets hotter, the fans will too. Sophs In Prelim In the preliminary gamo to night Medford Sophomores will meet Butte Falls high school varsity. In the preliminary to morrow night the Sophs of Med ford and Grants Pass will clash. The preliminary games will start promptly at 7:30 each night and the varsity games will fol low immediately afterward. Of ficials for the two nights will be Parker' Hess and Prank O'Nell, both of Ashland. Starting line-up for the Tigers tonight will be Bill Wall at cen ter, Henry Herman and Oarrel Montelth at forward and Lee Reynolds and Don Fawcett at guard. - If Medford cops both games, the Tigers will still be In the running with the conference leading Ashland Grizzlies. If the Tigers lose, they'll be practically washed up. Roseburg plays Ash land In Ashland tomorrow night. COCHRAN CHANCE TO DEFEAT HOPPE 'Chicago, Jan. 23. (If) If It weren't for Jake Schaefer, Wei ker Cochran could have ended Willie Hoppe's two-year relan as king of three-cushion bil liards by beating the champ tonight But all because of Jake. Cochran must down Hoppe not once but twice straight to wrench away his crown. Cochran s defeat by Schaefer last night prevented the San Francisco artist from maintain ing a tie for first with the de fending titlist. In which case to night s Cochran-Hoppe match would have meant the crown for the winner. Because of the Cleveland player's upset triumph, Hoppe can retain his championship by a victory tonight while the best Cochran can do by winning will be to tie Willie in the final standings, forcing a playoff Monday. Schaefer, runner-up to Hoppe in 1940 and 1941. raced away from Cochran at the start and after 25 Innings was in front 29-15. The final margin, reach ed In 37 Innings, was 50 to 28. In the afternoon Cochran had made one of the great rallies ot billiard history to trounce Otto Relselt of Philadelphia. 80 to 45, in 73 Innings. It was a resumption of a contest broken Freehold, N. J., Jan. 23. OP) Suing for $150,000 damages. Jacob (Buddy) Baer has charged in Monmouth county common pleas court that he was crip pled as a boxer, perhaps per manently, in an automobile ac cident which preceded his dis astrous bout with Joe Louis Jan uary 9. Howard A. Lawn of Red Bank, counsel for Baer, said to day that the suit had been de layed until after the fight rather than jeopardize attend ance. Baer was knocked out in the first round of the navy re lief fund benefit show at Madi son Square Garden. The bill of complaint nam ing Wellington H. Wllkins, Jr.. and Wllma H. Wllkins of Tin ton Falls as respondents, said the heavyweight had suffered torn muscles and tendons in the right shoulder area. Mrs. Wllkins was driver of one automobile and Jerry Cas als of Oceanport, driver of the one in which Baer rode, when the two machines collided in Eaton town December 14.

W The second round of the 72 ho'.e, $3000 San Francisco open golf tournament was postponed today because 'of unfavorable playing conditions.

Hogan toyed with it to the tune of 32-33. The round would have been sensational In any circum stances. But the Hershcy, Perm., entry compiled his score under adverse conditions. Fairways were soft and In some spots deep In mud. Water stood on many greens. He bit such long tee shots and woods that his ball was on the edge of all four of the par 8 holes. Each time he chipped up for putts ot not more than three feet. Seven birdies were on the card. Low scores are not exact ly new to slender Benny He had 62 In the Oakland open last year. Cooper Second As the leader, Hogan enjoyed a three-shot advantage over his closest rival starting today's second round. Veteran Harry Cooper of Minneapolis came nome with a 33-3568. An other old-timer, Horton Smith, of Plnehurst K. C, crowded Cooper with $8-14 69. ' Scores of Pacific northwest player were: Al Zimmerman, Portland, 36 3672. Emory Zimmerman, Portland, 38-3778.

With most of the dope giving them the edge, the undefeated loop leading Jacksonville high maple courtsters go to Central Point tonight determined to con tinue their string of southern Oregon class "B" league con quests. The clash winds up half the schedule for the teams in the western sector's double round robin. The preliminary la set for 7 o'clock. Offense of the Redskins may be the deciding factor In the tussle. Both teams have man aged to hold down scoring by conierence opposition. However, Jacksonville's winning margins have been wider. The Redskins' 40-12 triumph over Phoenix compared to the Pointers' 23-18 decision is an example. Improvement shown by the second place Pointers in the last two weeks, nevertheless, may offset statistics and ensure a ciose contest Central Point pro gressing both offensively and defensively, displayed remark able comeback ability in the last two games. Fifth-round games in the Southern Oregon class B high school basketball conference are scheduled to be played tonight, six quints In the northern divis ion seeing action and the same number in the western sector toeing the mark.
