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.

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.

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.

Five Texas golf troupers left

Game - hearted, hard handed
and from deep in the heart of
that place they sing about Ben
Hogan, Byron Nelson, Jimmy
Demaret, Lloyd Mangrum and
Ralph Guldahl headed for the
Augusta Masters tournament.
Hogan, the top hand among
them, carried with him his third
straight first prize mcney in
the Asheville open, taken from
Lawson Little with a strong
arm 68 for the second year in
a row. He achieved his winning
278, eight strokes better than
par, with a killing 32 on the
last nine holes. Just enough to
nip the luckless Little by one
blow.
The other Texans finished
like this:
Third, Lord Byron Nelson
with a 70 for 278; tied for
fourth, Jimmy Demaret, with a
73 for 283 and Ralph Guldshl.
with a 70 for 283; tied for tenth.
Lloyd Mangrum, with a 68 for
287; tied for seventeenth, ray
Mangrum, with a 68 for 291.

Spokane, April 8 IP) As
sured that he still retains his
tournament skill, Corp. Marvin
(Bud) Ward, notional amateur
golf champion, leaves today for
the 1942 Masters' tournament at
Aususta, Ga.
Ward proved his mastery of
the game yesterday when he
toured the Downriver course
here in a benefit match with
a four-under-par 68 to lead his
team to a 2 and 1 victory.
Teamed with Ward was Neil
Christian, pro at the Downriver
