PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1942. Sport Graphs . o Billy Hulen Says: Decision Not Yet Made On Staging Of Golf Tourney Decision on whether the an nual Southern Oregon:Northern California Invitational Golf tour nament will be held this war year is being held in abeyance for the time being, we have been Informed by an executive of the Rogue Valley Gqlf club. Because of the rubber situa tion, travel difficulties and pos sible gasoline rationing by Lab or day week-end, customary dates of the tourney. It Is felt the out-of-town entry list this year .would be sorrowfully meagre, perhaps almost non-ex istent. It was pointed out, however, that with the influx of a great many golf-playing officers for Camp White, together with the local civilian pill-busting bri gade, a fairly strong field for the tournament was a possi- . bility,- and thjrt- if conditions were favorable the event would probably be held. The past few years out-of- town shotmakers have far out numbered Medfordltes entering the biggest tourney in this sec tion, and the last two champion ships were captured by an "out sider," young ' Dick Haneo of Marshfield, now attending the University of Oregon. While it would be ralher strange to see the tournament staged without those many out-of-town clubbers on hand competing for the various pieces of hardware, the tour new would undoubtedly be I success If a sufficient number :-ef good golfers entered from Camp White.

Anyway, nobody knowi (or certain right now whether the affair will be held or called off for the duration. Heads of the club are waiting to see how con ditions are in August before making a decision one way or the other. i Through Promoter Mack Lil lard, Sockeye Jack McDonald has offered to wager U. S. legal tender in the amount of SO dol lars, with Prince Selaki Mihali kis, that he (Mr. McDonald) will whale the daylights out of him (Mr. Mihalikis) in their grap pling rematch Monday night. McDonald, Lillard claims. Is really wrought up over the thing. In their fracas last Mon day Mihalikis tossed Sockeye through the hemp and the latter hurt his back where it struck the edge of the platform. This made McDonald easy stuff for the Prince when he returned to the ring, but it didn't do much good for McDonald s temper. Now, the big ex-logger is so "mad" at Mihalikis. and so confident he can whip him, that he wants Mihalikis to match' his own SO potatoes, with the winner to rake in the dough, Lillard claims the business is entirely on the level, that McDonald is furi ous. As yet Mihalikis hasn't stepped forward to accept the wager, Mack says. Problem-Child Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox, fined $230 by Manager Joe Cronin and given good "bawling out" in front of his teammates for sulking and loafing in a game against Washington, apparently isn't overly endowed with brains. The Red Sox, white hot, are currently chopping down the Yankee lead to the point where they actually have a chance to pull one of baseball's biggest up sets and beat out the New York ers for the pennant and world series dough. Yet Williams, star of the team, thinks so much of his teammates and of his own financial future that he falls to hustle and acts like nothing but a spoiled brat, just be cause some of the guys in the lettfield bleachers gave him a bad time. We think Joe Cronin would have been Justified in socking Williams twice $230, and sus pending him for a spell, to boot. NO SHOOT AT MEDFORD GUN CLUB THIS SUNDAY The Medford Gun club, be cause of the double holiday Sat urday and Sunday will not hold Its regular shoot on Sunday but plans to shoot on Sunday, July 12, at the regular time. Both skeet and 16-yard targets will be shot and some special events will be announced next week. HOW THEY- STAND (By the Associated Press) Pacific Coast League W. L.

OWL DRUGS WILL BRING POWERFUL CLUB FOR SERIES Dickinson and Crippen To Pitch For Locals Both Games In Afternoon.

Those two setbacks the California outfit suffered don't set well with anybody con nected with semi-pro baseball in the city by the Golden Gate, and It Is a foregone conclusion the Owl Drugs, as befits their exalted reputation as the best In 'Frisco, will sen a terrifically potent crew against the Craters.
