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:

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. Wray socked a
double and triple.

PERFECTS BOMB
TO HALT TANKS
Roy E. 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.

RUFFING FLINGS
251ST VICTOR!;
YANKS WIN PAIR
By Austin Baalmear
Associated Press Sports Writer
Besides the name of Joe
(iron man) McGinnity on the list
of Gotham's greatest pitchers
they wrote another one today
Charles Herbert Ruffing of the
world champion New York
Yankees.
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.
