(JP) Twice shattering the world's ISO-yard back stroke rec ord, Adolph Klefer of Chicago tonight proved the sensation of the national A.A.U. swimming championships. Klefer, one of the country's greatest dorsal stars,' won his specialty In 1:30.9, bettering his old international standard of 1:32.7, which had stood since 1936. The 23-year old Olympic champion, who is in the adver tising business, thrilled this af ternoon's audience with an ef fort that cut three-tenths of a second off his six year record, but it was nothing compared to tonight's specacular perform ance. So good was Kiefer's stunt, It stood out over Bill Prew's world record-equalling 100-yard sprint. Frew, of the Detroit A.C. but an army flying cadet and last year's national collegiate champion, won the century in 51 seconds, tying the record of Johnny Weissmuller, who set it in 1927, and of Peter Fick of the New York A.C, who did it in 1936. PERL'S HA TOURNEY STARTS The annual John A. and Frank Perl spring handicap tourna ment, marking the official pass ing of winter so far as local golfers are concerned, will start today and end next Sunday at the Rogue Valley Golf club. This year, for the first time, the tourney championship will be determined on a 36-hole, med al play basis instead of by match play. Players will shoot their first 18 holes today and their fi nal 18 next Sunday, with the low net scorer winning a year's pos session of the handsome Perl trophy. Full handicaps will be allowed. Club Pro Laddie Selkirk said that this tournament was the first In a long series planned for the spring and summer, and urg ed all members to enter. Selkirk also asked that members in pos session of non-permanent cups and trophies return them to the clubhouse so they can be placed on display and become available for this year's winners of the tournaments to be staged. CANCEL SALMON DERBY Seattle. April 4. (,) The Seattle Times today announced cancellation of its annual city salmon derby "for the duration." BIG FACE BRAZIL TO Handsome Pedro Brazil and Irish Jim Casey, who possess the best records of any of Mack Lillard's current mat gladiators, will attempt to notch their fourth conquests In the armory Monday night against capable opponents. The South American champ Ion, whose Ion defeat in Med ford was suffered at the hands of Vincent Lopez a month ago, will battle Chief Thunderbird, the huge full-blooded Indian, In the one-hour main event of the weekly wrestling program. Brazil, . since appearing In Medford, has won three matches and drawn one against that single Lopez setback, and hopes to add another scalp to his col lection In the form of Thunder bird's pelt. Pedro might have a tough time accomplishing this, as the Redman is powerful and, at times, very unorthodox. Casey, whose local record also stands at three wins, one draw and one loss (to Brazil), will ap pear in the middle event against Tug Carlson, a newcomer whose recent grapple action has taken place in San Francisco and envi rons. The Irishman is rapidly be coming one of the best-liked pachyderms ever to show In this part of the country and Carlson better be good or James will add to his lustrous local escutcheon. Another new face will make hi; Medford debut In the four round opener. He is Billy Mar cus, also lata of San Francisco, and he'll go against Andre Adoree, the popular French Canadian who has been beaten only once in the local squared circle, while winning twice and drawing twice. It will be ladies' night, with all feminine fans regardless of age being admitted free when accom panied by a male or female pur chaser of either a reserved seat or general admission ducat.

ASHEVILLE FIELD Asheville. N. C, April 4 (AP) In a performance that was like a rerun of last year's movie, Lawson Little duplicated his course record, third round 68 of 1941. to lead the field by three strokes today after 54 holes of the $3,000 land of the sky open. Little, with an amazing burst of putting, set the stage for to morrow's final 18 holes, with Defending Champion Ben Hogan and -Byron Nelson, the two most feared men In the field, tied for second place with 208, within easy striking distance. Hogan, who last year over hauled Little in the last round after the former U. S. open and amateur king shot his record score, had a 68 today. Nelson, playing perfect golf, equalled Little's 66 on the pace and the way he did It boded no good for the rest of the money seekers. In contrast to Little's unbe lievable putting (he had 11 one putt greens and a total of 25 putts for the 18 holes) Nelson's game was best from tee to green. He hit every shot and sank only one putt of more than 10 feet. Little canned them from all over the carpet, getting down from 23 feet on number nine and then, before a huge gallery, drop ping one from 50 feet on the home hole. TIGERS BEATEN BY JACKSONVILLE 6-5 The Jacksonville Redskins evened the score with Medford's Tigers in a Southern Oregon high school baseball clash at Jacksonville Friday by taking a 6 to 5 verdict when Don O'Brien singled with the bases loaded and the score tied in the last half o' the seventh and final inning. It was the Tigers first loss in tour starts. Ed Hall, Redskin leftfielder. blasted a three-run homer in the fifth and Cato Wray, Medford outfielder, got a round-tripper with the bags empty in the same frame. Score: Medford 8 6 5 J'Ville 8 9 4 Gitzen, Bayliss and Adams; Sanford, Hueners and Kenney. Corvallls, Ore., April 4 (AP) A five-run outburst in the sixth inning won the Portland Uni versity Pilots an 8-6 baseball vic tory over Oregon State college today.

London, April 4 UP) Out numbered British and Chinese troops took up stronger new positions north of fallen Promc and loungoo tonight In a grim effort to halt fierce Japanese drives toward the Burma oii fields and toward Mandalay, already under heavy fire from enemy bombers. Military men said there was no doubt that the Japanese would continue without pause their thrusts to the rich prizes north of the battlefields before the monsoon due within three weeks bogs down the Nip ponese war machine and re stricts Japanese warplanes which now pour down death unop posed from the skies. Beyond the cryptic announce ment that the Japanese who followed up the British with drawal from Prome had "beer successfully dealth with," there was scant information about the progress of fighting since the key towns were given up. The battle lines still were some 200 or more miles south of Mandalay the romantic city of Kipling's song but only 40 to 80 miles from the rich oil fields which feed the allied battle planes and their mechan ized equipment. Mandalay. on the main rail road from Rangoon to the Lashio terminus of the Berma road was blasted heavily Friday by Japanese bombers which ap parently met no effective op position. The British said a hospital was hit but that nc military damage was done. Mandalay had been bombed before. Heavy damage was In fllcted on military and civilian pronerty February 19. The Japanese, who have con trolled the Burma air for 10 days following knockout blows on RAF and American volunteer group airports in central Burma, raided two other central' Burma towns which the military did not name. IN HOCKEY TEST Toronto. April 4 (JP) De troit beat the Toronto Maple Leafs to the punch tonight for a 3 to 2 victory In the first game of the Stanley cup hockey series. The hard-hitting visitors racked up two goals in the first period, which the Leafs matched, and got the winner in the second. After establishing this lead the Red Wings threw up a sound defense, which, backed by great goal tending from Johnny Mow ers, turned back the Leafs at every stage. Don (the Count) Grosso was the individual star of the torrid contest. SKI WINNERS Sun Valley, Ida.. April 4.

Tickets Now On Sale At Tha OWL CLUB, Phone 2300 Wins Season's First Meet, TELL AIR CARRIER LOST San Francisco, April 4. (JP) Navy petty officers brought to the homeland today their first hand account of escape from the Langley and Pecos as these ships sank In a rain of Japanese bombs. They told a vivid story of men dying at their battle stations, of wounded struggling for hours in choppy seas as enemy submar ines kept rescue craft at bay. It was a tale of valor on the part of officer's and men alike, of fighting spirit and of close loyal ties, tragic, dramatic and not en tirely unleavened by humor. D. Ashcroft of Coeur d'Alene, Ida., chief pharmacists mate aboard the naval tanker Pecos, recalled how "Jughead" Crider, a gun captain from Kentucky, came down to the after battle dressing station shortly after the enemy's five-hour attack on the vessel began. Jughead was wounded then, carried pieces of shrapnel in his back, Ashcroft said. "I dressed him and he insisted, on going back to his gun. "About an hour later he was brought down again, with fresh wounds. We couldn't save him." Then there was Kenneth E. Brown of San Jose, Calif., chief printer on the Langley. A wisp of a man, he nonetheless took his battle station along with all the others when the first run of bombers came over the old air craft tender lust before noon on February 27. A stock of bombs landed 20 feet from his post, and a sheet of flame sprang up, cutting Brown and his crew off from the rest of the ship. They leaped overboard and had fallen more Well Be Closed CANTONMENT WORKERS We've planned ahead for many months for this visit of hundreds of cantonment workers. . . .

(JP) Waylaying of a young mother by a brutal slayer as she re turned from her Easter shopping was the possibility investigated by police tonight after discovery of the nude, battered body of an attractive brown-haired girl In an idle granite quarry. The body was found earlier today wedged grotesquely among discarded blocks of stone, and nearby lay a package con taining newly purchased chil dren's underclothing and a new boy's leather belt with a buckle bearing the gold initials "C. C." The new clothing appeared to be for a young boy and prelim inary autopsy revealed the vic tim was a mother. Estimates of her age ranged from late 'teens to 30 and as in vestigators tracked down five groundless clues to her identity they said she probably lived in a nearby town but they doubted that she came from Quincy.
