Pp.Hrn Rrayil anfl T!iiinrlrl-irr1 rn Calash in Tnn drannlpi TonierllL SOUTH AMERICAN SLIGHT FAVORITE TO WHIP INDIAN Two Newcomers To Wrestle In First Two Matches Accompanied Ladies Free Pedro Brazil and Chief Thun derbird will unlimber their heavy grappling artillery against each other in the main event of tonight's ladies' night program in the Med ford armory and two newcomers to southern Oregon will provide interesting fire works in the first two matches. Tug Carlson, late of San Fran cisco and said to be one of the finest matmen on the coast, will tangle with Irish Jim Casey in the six-round middle event, and Billy Mascus, also from San Francisco, will make his local debut against Andre Adoree In the four-round curtain-raiser, Brazil, who has been whipped only once In the Medford ring, ia a slight favorite to take the measure of the huge, barrel-like Indian chief, but even Pedro's most enthusiastic admirers and they are legion admit the South American heavyweight ruler will probably have a terrific scrap on his hands. May Get Dirty Thunderbird is not an 'out' end-out villain, but neither is he a strictly scientific workman. The Chief usually starts out by grappling in the orthodox fash ion, but when things get tough he is Inclined to revert to the savage instincts in his heart and employ llligitimate tactics. Brazil doesn't like to engage In alley brawls, but that doesn't mean he can't or won't. He can and will, as has been proved, and nobody yet has been able to outfight him in the clinches. He'll attempt to keep things clean with Thunderbird, and if this is impossible he'll throw caution to the winds and fight fire with fire. Every purchaser of a ringside or general admission ticket will be given a similar ducat to ad mit a feminine fan free. At the TRAINING CAMPS (By the Associated Press) Big Springs, Tex.

American League Clubs Lead Nationals In Spring Games By Austin Bealmear New York, April 6AJP) Teams are going home from spring training, pitchers are going the route in exhibitions and the fans are going in circles all of which means that major league baseball is about ready to get going in the pennant races of 1942. With little more than a weekl to wait until they start playing for keeps, the teams In the American league are out in front of the National leaguers in exhibition competition today by five games. Representatives of the Junior circuit have triumphed in 55 of the 105 spring training battles Involving opponents from the opposite side of the majors. Equally as unimportant as that interesting but inconclusive data is the fact that five weeks' play in the grapefruit belt has elevated three clubs in each league as the ones to beat when the chips go down. On the basis of their showing against all forms of competition in exhibition games the .Pitts burgh Pirates, St. Louis Car dinals and Brooklyn Dodgers top the senior circuit while the St. Louis Browns, Washington Senators and New York Yankees lock like the class of the Amer ican league. The Pirates head the grape fruit standings, Just two percent age points ahead of the Browns, with whom they have been run ning neck and neck for a couple of weeks. Pittsburgh has won 17 of Us 23 games to date, Including 10 out of 13 against American league teams and four out of six in the National league. The Browns, who own a record of 14 victories and five defeats, have won nine of their 10 inter-league tilts and two out of three against other American leaguers. More Impressive, however, and possibly more surprising is the record of the Senators, who have played 25 games, only one of which was outside the ma Jors, and won 18 of them. HOW THE?

CONGER FUNERAL HOME Phone 3147 71S W. Mala St. SPEECE PITCHES BEAVERS TO 6-5 WIN OVERPADRES Four-Run Rally In Sixth Clinches Game After San Diego Cops Opener, 6-3. (By the Associated Press) At the club almost universally chosen to finish a spanking last in this wartime baseball cam paign, Portland could lay Justi fiable claim today to having hatched the Coast league's major early season phenomenon. The Beavers, fewer In number than any of their confederates but well mellowed In the ways of the sport by age and experi ence, managed to win three of their first five games. That did not succeed in gaining them first place a position reserved Joint ly for Seattle and San Francisco but it did mean they will em bark upon the second week of play with more victories than any rival can muster. Byron Speece, a grandfather ly right-hander, tipped the scales in Portland's favor. He strug gled through four bad innings in the seven-inning nightcap of yesterday's doubleheader against San Diego but then took matters firmly in hand to hold the Padres hitless and runless the rest of the way. Belt Four Hurlers His teammates, properly in spired by this display of cour age, cracked four San Diego pitchers for four runs in the sixth two in the seventh and a 6-5 decision. Earlier the Padres had topped the Beavers, 6-3, in a regulation nine inning stand, the victory coming on a three-run rally in the eighth. Elsewhere in the league Sun day activity was limited to the doings at Hollywood, where the home team's 5-3 and 1-8 split with Oakland also meant an even break in the series at two games each. Short scores: Portland 3 8 2 San Diego 6 11 1 Cohen, Johnson (6), and Leo vich; Poffenbergcr, Dilbeck (7) and Detore. Second game.
