Mihalikis readily agreed and now the stage is all set for what may be the most violent grapple argument staged bere in months and months. . McDonald, a determined sort of fellow and tough as they come, Is prepared to knock the tar out of the Arabian and as soon as possible. While Sockeye hasn't put it in words, he acts like he is planning to waste no time on legitimate tactics once he gets Mihalikis in the ring with him. . Mihalikis, on the other hand, hasn't built up a reputation as a scientific workman, although he can trade straight stuff with any of the boys, and is expected to go outt here and try to get rid of McDonald in any lasnion. Meeting in the six-round mid dle event will be Pedro Brazil, good-looking South American champion, and Broccoli Bob Kruse, while opening the card will be Alberto Corral and Irish Jim Casey.

Nangano Drayage of San Francisco, executing four siz zling double plays behind the five-hit hurling of Walt HJort and pounding Steve Crippen for 13 diows including three dou bles and a triple, defeated the Medford Craters 11 to 5 here yesterday to gain an even break in the two-game holiday series. The Craters were blanked for six innings as the classy Nangano Infield ripped off a quartet of twin killings to nul lify the three singles HJort yielded, but the locals managed to tally thrice in the seventh on two walks, a pair of errors and Waite's single to center. Two more passes In the ninth, Johnny Gitzen's double to right- center and an outfield fly from the bat of Harold Lange gave the Craters their final two runs. While Hfort was mastering the home team hitters, aided by some of the most spectacular in field play seen here in years, his mates were making life miser able for Crippen. It must be said in the red-head's behalf, however, that his defense was terrible. Although the Craters were charged with only four errors their mental blunders contributed even more to the downfall. Defensa Falls Three singles and two walks gave the visitors a couple of runs in the first inning, two singles around a sacrifice ac counted for another in the third and eight more markers came across in the last four frames as the Crater defense cracked wide open and the Californians helped their own cause with nine base knocks. It was a fine game for five innings, with Nangano leading 6 to 0 going into the sixth. Those four double plays, how ever seemed to break the Crat ers' hearts, and well they might All of them were positively sensational. In the first inning Jack Swarvck led off with a single to right, but Third Baseman F Ahem grabbed wortmey s smash and turned it into a two- ply slaughter. In the third the Craters again got a man on first when Crip pen walked, but second Base man Flynn tock Swaryck's drive to his right and started another double slaying. F. Ahem was the gent who again inaugurated a twin kill ing In the fourth. After Norm Worthlcy singled through the box he snatched Manager Dutch I Lieber's bounder and fired to Flynn, whose throw to first nipped the skipper. Shortstop Mullens started still another double play in the fifth, the victim being Waite follow ing a walk to Lange. Gitsen Hits Two Flynn, with a triple and dou ble and Burke and Mullens with three singles each led the visi tors at the plate, while Gitzen hit a double and single for the locals. The Craters played with a makeshift outfield, neither Al Wray nor Dwight Catherwocd being on hand.
