George Craig, pride nd Joy
of Camp White, gets hi chance
for tweet revenge in the armory
tonight when he clashes with
Prince Selaki Mihalikii in the
main event of Promoter Mack
LiUard'i weekly wrestling card
Rematched after their brawl
of last week, at the red-hot de
mands of Craig's many canton
ment friends and Craig, himself,
the pair are expected to stage
one of the most furious battles
of the year.-
Promoter Mack Llllard said
today the advance ticket sale
wai the best since wrestling
was resumed here in February.
Indicating a near capacity
crowd. The program gets under
way at 8:30 sharp.
Craig Angry
' Craig is filled with bitterness
over the outcome of his last
match with Mihalikis, a match
that saw the Prince extend the
hand of purported friendship as
blind to an unsportsmanlike
trick that won him the verdict.
Craig is determined to get even
with Mihalikis, and probably
won't be too particular how he
does it.
Sockeye Jack McDonald and
Chief Thunderbird, who put on
a fin match last week, will meet
again, this time In the six-round
emi-windup. McDonald was the
victor, two falls to one, In their
first tussle, and hopes to run his
win-string to three tonight.
Cliff Olsen and Alberto Cor
ral will open the program in a
four-round duel. Olsen Is slight
ly off-color in his tactics.

Chicago, June 22 (P) Little
Ben Hogan, some 138 pounds of
pure whipcord, finally crashed
through to win that major golf
championship which eluded him
so long while he was busy win
ning most of the money and
otherwise establishing himself
as the uncrowned king of the
links.
His victory In the Hale Amer
ica tournament which ended yes
terday at the Ridgemoor club
was about as brilliant a feat at
golf has seen. His total of 271
for the 72 holes shattered by 10
strokes the record for national
open championship. On his sec
ond round the dark, diminutive
ecc-Texan shot an almost unbe
lievable 62.
Wins 11,100
Yet, Ironically, the supreme
goal of every golfer still eludes
Ben. His name will not appear
in golf's record book as winner
of the national open title. Be
cause of the war, there will be
no open tournament this year
This was the closest thing to
it, Hogan, though, was not in a
mood to accept any sympathy
after he had rolled in putts from
all tort of distances to score his
clinching 68 yesterday.
Ben was the winner, the play
er who pocketed first prize of
$1,100. The "goat of the four-
day event and there seems to
be one in every tournament-
was Jimmy Demaret, of Detroit
The happy-go-lucky Jimmy
needed only to shoot the last
four holes in par to score a 88
on his final round and finish in
a tie with Hogan for the title
Instead, he went to pieces, drove
like the rankest duffer on three
consecutive holes and wound up
in a tie with Mike Turnesa for
second place with a total of 271.

ATERST
PHOTOS, 12 T0 1
TO SWEEP SERIES
With Pvt Joe Dickinson of
the U. S. army flinging a three
hit masterpiece, the Medford
Craters walloped San Francis
co's Bear Photos, 12 to 1 here
yesterday to sweep the two
game series between the two
clubs. The Craters captured the
Saturday night affair, 14 to 12
Dickinson, who last year
played in the American Associa
tion and the Three-Eye league,
completely handcuffed the Cali
fornians with his blazing fast
ball and razor-edge curve. One
of the Photo hits was a "bleed
er" into left field and their lone
run was unearned. It came in
the fourth inning when J. Lu-
chessl singled to right but was
forced at second as Don Mad
den, after dropping Costa's fly.
recovered In time to get L.u-
ehessi at the keystone. Costa
then stole second and continued
to third on Catcher John John
son's bad throw, and scored or.
a passed ball.
That run put the Photos In
front 1 to 0 and with Cookie
Pera, Photo righthander, mow
ing down the Craters in capaDie
fashion the tally looked bigger
and bigger. But In the sixtn
inning all Hades broke loose,
and when the locals were
through exploding Pera was out
of the gsme and nit.e runs were
in. That clinched the game but
just to make certain the Craters
whaled three more across in tne
seventh off Bob Perret, who
relieved Pera.
Here Is the way that terrific
sixth inning went for the Cra
ters: with one out, Catherwood
got life on Costa's bad throw
to first and Manager Dutch Lle
ber singled through third. Don
Madden singled through the
mtririU nrr.rlna Catherwood and
John Gitzen walked, filling the!
bases. Johnson singled to lelt
and all three men scored when
Gomes let the ball roll through
his legs. Dickinson singled
Johnson home and Jack Swa
ryck tripled to deep rlsht-cen-ter
scoring Dickinson. Worthley
walked and out came Pera. Al
Wray greeted Perret with a
single scoring Swaryck, and
Worthley tallied while Cather
wood was grounding out. Lie
ber got his second hit . of the
inning, a seratcher to shortstop,
and Wray scored on Madden's
second single of the frame. Git
zen forced Madden to end the
wild stanza.
Fourteen Craters batted dur
ing the game-winning rally.
Although they certainly man t
need any more runs, the locals
made it 12 to 1 In the seventh
Johnson's single to center,
Dickinson's sacrifice, Swaryck
infield blow, a fielder's choice
and Wray's triple to left.
Saturday night's game was a
fantastic affair, with the Craters
pounding Pera out of the box
in the first inning when they
scored 10 runs, the Photos chop
ping away until they went
ahead, 12 to 10, and the locals
finally getting three more runs
in the fifth and one In the
seventh to win.
In the first inning, with the
bases loaded, Al Wray blasted
the first homer of the year in
the fairgrounds park, a tremen
dous clout over the left field
wall. The Craters used four
pitchers Steve Crlppen, Lie-
ber, Al Wimer and Dickinson
with Lieber getting credit for
the victory although Dickinson
had to come to his rescue with
a scoreless four-inning stint.
