McDonald Clashes With Thunderbird In SOCKEYE TO SEEK Ji Piince Mihalikls Faces Craig In Middle Event Bel castro, Corral To Open. ' Sockeye Jack McDonald, the current number one grappler of southern Oregon, will be shoot ing for his second stiaight main event victory when he collides with the large Vancouver, B. C. Indian, Chief Thunderbird, In to night's armory headliner, slated for an hour or the best two out of three falls. Two extraordinarily fine sup plementing matches are on the program. In the six-round cen ter attraction Camp White's George Craig will face Prince Selaki Mihalikls, returning after an absence of over two years, and In the four-round curtain lifter, starting at 8:30 sharp, Pete Belcastro will attempt to knock the stuffing out of Alberto Cor ral, a scientific Mexican. McDonald's last start resulted in a tough two-fall-to-one con quest of Joe Corbett, the decid ing tumble coming when Sock eye hurled big Joe Into the ropes several times and sonnenberged him on the rebounds. It was a highly effective maneuver and McDonald, perchance, might de cide to employ the same sort of tuff against Thunderbird. The struggle will probably not remain legitimate for long, as the big Indian Is Inclined to get rough when the going becomes torrid and McDonald is Just the guy to make things hot. When and If Thunderbird kicks over the traces and starts foul tactics, McDonald will be mora than glad to accommodate him. BEAVElDlE PAIR WITH STARS By The Associated Press For the second time within a week Wayne Osborne yesterday gave the Hollywood Stars addi tional cause to rue the trade by which they sent him tc Portland a fortnight ago In exchange for Hurler Whiety Hilcher. Osborne pitched the Beavers to an 8-2 decision In yesterday's Pacific Coast baseball league nightcap, thus accounting for both of Portland's meager two wins In the seven game series against Hollywood and all of the Northerner's last three vic tories. In the first game the Stars got Charley Root 18 hits and runs by batches, but the old major leaguer scarcely needed them as he limited the Beavers to four blows for a 13-1 verdict. San Francisco and Seattle split their Sunday bill, the Seals winning the first, 4-3, and Seattle the second, 5-1, but the Callfornians romped off with the series, five games to two. Scores: Portland 14 1 Hollywood 13 16 0 Llska, Cohen (4) and Leo vlch; Root and Brenzelm. Second game: Portland 8 12 2 Hollywood 2 6 1 Osborne and Leovich; Perez, Hilcher (2), Barisoff (4), and Atwood. HOW THEY?

Oregon California Laagua W. L. PC. Medford .... 6 2 6 2 4 4 0 8 Klamath Falls Dorris Grants Pass . Results Sunday At Medford 11, Dorris 9. At Klamath Falls 10-8, Grants rasa 1.-4 (doubleheader). The Medford Craters stagger ed to an 11 to 9 victory over the Dorris, (Cal.) Lumberjacks here yesterday .afternoon in an Oregon-California league con test that produced 33 hits in cluding six doubles and two triples, nine errors and some of the most fantastic baseball seen this season. The win gave Dutch Lleber's crew a sweep of the two-game series, ine locals having cap tured the Saturday night afafir, 10 to 7. Johnny Gitzen, who drove in five of Medford's runs with three singles In four trips to the plate, delivered the game winning blow in the eighth in ning.. With the score tied at 9-9 and Steve Crippen and Lieber on third and second, respective ly, the little second baseman smashed a single Into center field to tally both runners. Neither starting pitcher was able to finish the game. Lefty Al Wimer was shelled, off the Crater mound in the fourth In ning when Dorris scored four times to take a 7 to 6 lead, and Manager Lieber went the re mainder to receive credit for the victory. Wimer yielded seven runs and 11 hits in his three and a third innings of toll. Snyder Can't Finish Jim Snyder, Lumberjack left hander, managed to stay in there until the eighth inning, but when Gitzen came through with his two-run single to break the 9-ali deadlock that was enough for the portsider. Thompson, a lanky righthander, finished the inning without being hurt. The game was tied twice and the lead changed hands the same number of times. The Crater Jumped into a 4-0 lead In the first inning, and after Dorris got three in the third the locals picked up two more In their half j to go ahead, 6 to 3. In the fourth the heavy-hit ting visitors reached Wimer for four blows and as many runs to take 7-6 lead, before iie'oer came In to extinguish the fire.' Medford tied it again in its half of the inning, and it remained that way until the sixth, when Dorris got a run to go ahead 8-7. The Lumberjacks scored again in the seventh for a 9-7 bulge. Jack Swaryck, young third sacker, singled to start the Medford half of the seventh and Norm Worthley scored him with a triple to deep right-center. Al Wray Llghtner then ham mered a triple to right and Worthley came in with the tic ing run. That tied the score once more at 9-9, and In the eighth Crippen led off with an infield blow and Lieber doubled him to third That set the stage for Gitzen to rap his clutch single for the ball game. Crispi, with four singles and Snavely, with two doubles and five runs batted in, led the Dor ris clouters, while Wray, Ljcber and Gitzen each got three hits (or Medford.

Jones, cantonment truck operator, dynamite expert and spare-time inventor, has pro duced a weapon as maneuver- able as a shotgun, but which he believes capable of stopping the biggest tanks. Jones holds that a comparatively small charge exploding In or near the caterpillar tread of a tank, or about the wheels of other mech anized equipment will do the trick. His belief is based on long observance of the destructive power of dynamite during his employment in using explosives on construction work. Jones' weapon is a can-like container or the explosive with a pointed nose which holds a de tonating cap. A rod which pro jects from the base of the can s Inserted in the barrel of a gun and the contrivance is sent on its way by a charge of powder just as a bullet is launched. The entire missile weighs about one and one-half pounds. Fair accuracy up to 600 feet Is claimed by the inventor who says, however, a gun sturdier than a common shotgun should be used. Mr. Jones who also has to his credit the Invention of a highly practical gate hinge, has offer ed his anti-tank invention to the government. Coming here in May to work at the cantonment, Mr. Jones makes his home with his wife in their trailer house at the Treichler Motor Park near Cen tral Point.

Charley the red, winner of more games than any hurler ac tive in the - major leagues, chalked up the 251st victory on his 19-year record yesterday to tie the mark left by McGinnity, who often pitched, and some times won, doubleheaders for the New York Giants in the early years of John McGraw. Only three pitchers in all the baseball history of the nation's largest city have topped the total reached by Ruffing. The one and only Christy Mathewson won 372 games be fore gas poisoning in the other war forced him to call it quits. Amos Rusie of the pre-McGraw Giants won 352 and Mickey Welch won 309 while tolling for the same club under its initial pilot, Jim Mutrie. In ten games this year Ruf fing has pitched 83 innings and has gone the distance seven times. He has yielded 69 hits while striking out 39 batters and issuing only 16 bases on balls. Yesterday he tossed a five- hitter at the St. Louis Browns th team that had beaten him twice before in his only rever sals for 1942. He pitched the Yankees to a 6-1 victory in the first game and Ernie Bonham finished with a 5-4 decision in the second. Joe Gordon whose single in the opener stretched his string to 29 consecutive games, went zero-for-four against John Nig- geling, who held the Yanks to seven hits in the afterpiece. At that, the Yanks failed to increase their nine and a half game lead in the American league for the second-place Bos ton Red Sox took a pair of close ones from Detroit, 3-2 in the regulation distance and 2-1 in 11 innings. The only change of the day in either league came at the other end of the American standings where the Chicago White Sox vacated the cellar and turned it over to Washington by crushing the Senators, 9-3 and 11-4. The Cleveland Indians and Philadelphia Athletics divided a double bill, with Luman Harris pitching a three-hitter to give the A's a 5-1 decision in the nightcap after the Tribe had won the first game, 8-3.

The New York Giants snap ped Pittsburgh's seven-game winning streak, 4-3, as Bob Car penter went all the way, but the Pirates bounced back to win the nightcap, 8-3, behind the seven hit pitching of Rip Sewell.
