Jack McDonald Faces Joe Corbett In Tonight's Main Mat Match
EYE
RETURN 10 OLD
Bob Kruse And Prince In
Semi-Windup Soldier
Buccola And Olsen Open.
Jack McDonald. "Sockeye" to
hi grappling fan supporters,
matches his elbow-punching and
durability against tht 238-pound
heft and tremendous strength of
Australian Joe Corbett In the
one-hour main event of tonight's
Mack Llllard mat program in
the armory.
Supporting this top attraction
Prince Selaki Mihalikls, stung
by his setback at McDonald's
hands last week, will attempt
to regain winning form against
Broccoli Bob Kruse in the six
round middle event, and Cliff
Olsen will go against Joe Buc
cola, wrestling instructor at
Hamilton field, in the four
round opener slated to start at
8:30.
McDonald, in pounding Ml
halikis into submission last Mon
day night, looked like the Mc
Donald of old, the McDonald
who went out there and simply
punched and hammered until
bis opponent slumped to the
eanvas. The big fellow felt
mighty happy after that victory
over Mihalikls, and Intimated
that from now on he would
conduct his mat activity along
the same lines.
May Be Brawl
- It Sockeye does follow those
hammer-endtongs tactics against
Corbett, fans will witness a real
knock-down brawl. Corbett, al
though he prefers to stay scien
tific, is no slouch at the rough
tuff, and can be expected to
trade wallops with anybody who
so desires, Including McDonald.
McDonald has a special incen
tive for wanting to beat Corbett.
Right now he has the iristde
track for the match with "The
Angel," the grotesque French
men who'll be here July 27, but
if he loses to Corbett Mack
Llllard may see fit to put Mi
halikls or some other matman
in against "The Angel." For this
reason McDonald will leave no
tone unturned In an attempt
to take care of Corbett with as
much dispatch as possible.

J FRENCH DEFEATS
PIRATES, 2 TO 1
FOR TOTH IN ROW
By Austin Beelmear
Associated Press Sports Writer
Lefty Larry French, leading
pitcher of the major leagues
and only undeefated hurler
among all the regular starters,
has turned out to be one of the
biggest bargains since the Indi
ans turned loose the Island of
Manhattan.
The Brooklyn Dodgers pick
ed up French for the waiver
price of $7,900 late last season
and the 33-year-old left-hander
hasn't been beaten since.
He won his tenth game of the
year yesterday, holding the
Pittsburgh Pirates to three hits
in pitching the Dodgers to a 2-1
decision in the first game of a
doubleheader.
The Dodgers lost the second
game and watched their Nation
al league lead shrink to eight
lengths, but French reached the
halfway mark In a season that
promises to be his best in the
majors. His best previous year
was 1938, when he won 18 and
lost nine for the Chicago Cubs.
If French continues his pace,
he may cost the Dodgers plenty
by October, for he has a trick
contract calling for a salary
based on the number'of innings
he pitches and the number of
games he wins.
The Pirates came from behind
with a four-run rally in the
eighth Inning to down the Dod
gers, 8-4, in the second game.
The St. Louis Cardinals drew
one game closer to the leaders
by whipping the Boston Braves,
3-1 and 0-3.
In the American league, the
first place New York Yankees
also divided a double Din dui
boosted their led to four and a
half games with the help of the
St. Louis Browns. While the
Yankees were losing to the De
troit Tigers, 6-4, and winning,
3-1 in 13 Innings, the Browns
pinned a double defeat on the
second place Boston Red Sox,
1-0, and 10-6.

Al Wray's tremendous blow
against the right centerf ield
fence in tha last half of the
ninth inning, scoring Jack Swar
yck from second base, gave
Medford a 4 to 3 victory over
the Klamath Falls Pelicans here
yesterday and sent the Craters
soaring into first place in the
sizzling Oregon-C alitornia
league pennant race.
The Craters' Sunday conquest
followed an equally hair-raising
win they turned in over the
Pelicans Saturday night, by a
count of 8 to5, and moved them
Into the loop leadership by a
full game over Ernie Bishop's
Klamaths. Both Medford victor
ies were created in thrilling last-of-the-ninth
"outbursts.
Yesterday's contest, witnessed
by the largest crowd of the sea
son, was a scorcher from start
to finish. Manager Dutch Lieber
went the route for the Craters
and pitched one of his headiest
games. He yielded 10 hits, two
more than his opponent, Skinny
Kenny Benham, but when the
situation threatened to become
dangerous Big Dutch had what
it takes to extinguish the fire.
Worthley Hot
Tha score was deadlocked at
3-3 when the Craters uncorked
their game-winning explosion In
their half of the ninth. Lieber.
first up, grounded out, but
Swaryck drove a single between
second and third and Norm
Worthley, who had a grand day
with two doubles and a single,
rifled a one-baser Into left, send
ing Swaryck to second. Wray
then unraveled his second two
bagger of the afternoon, a 360-
foot drive that smacked against
the fence in right-center, and
Swaryck carried the victory and
the league lead across the plate.
Doubles by worthley and
Wray in the first inning gave
Medford a 1 to 0 lead, but
Klamath tied it in the third
when Larson singled with two
gone, stole second and. scored
on Manager Bishop's single to
left.
The Craters took a 2 to 1
bulge In the fourth on Camp
bell's walk, an error, a base on
balls to Walte and Manager
Lieber's long fly to Paul Crapo
In center, and added another for
a 3 to 1 margin in the seventh
on Lieber's walk, Swaryck's
sacrifice and Worthley ' double
to left-center.
That was the way It stood
when Klamath went to bat in
the eighth, but In that frame the
visitors picked up one and then
tied the score in the ninth.
Marshall Eyestone's single to
right and Gross' triple that
bounced over Wray's head in
centerfield accounted for the
eighth-inning tally, and Swar
yck's error on Bonhnm's boun
der, followed by Bishop's triple
to right-center, gave the Peli
cans their game-tieing counter
in the ninth.
At this point tha Craters
executed a spectacular double
play that might have saved the
game. Hampton, up following
Bishop, hit a grounder to John
Oitzen at second. Bishop, on
third, was trapped as Gitzen
smartly ran across 'the diamond
and chased him Into Worthley.
who marie the tag. In the mean
time Hampton had rounded first
and second and Worthley, after
tagging Bishop, rifled the ball
to Swaryck on second and
Hampton was caught. That play
retired the side.
In the eighth, after Klamath
had scored once, Swaryck came
up with a sensational gloved
stab of Dixon's liner to his left
This play saved a run. as Gross
was on third following his three
bagger. Lirber fanned only one Peli
can, but the strikeout came at
a most opportune moment. With
the bases loaded, two gone and
one run already across in tne
third inning, the manager whif-!
led Paul Crnpo on a fast ball i
Again in the sixth. Lieber dis
played his courage in the clutch.
Singles by Hampton and Crapo,
and an error by Campbell, load
ed the bags with nobody out.
Lieber, however, made Eyestone
pop to Fawcett, Gross foul out
to Swaryck on first and Dixon
force Crapo at third.
Benham, lanky, bespectacled
hurler from Whitman college,
did a fine Job for the Pelicans,
although his six walks, didn't
help his own cause. He fanned
five. Lieber, on the other hand
issued no bases on balls. His
curve worked nicely and his
fast ball was available when
needed.
Saturday night's 'clash was
also a thriller-diller. Behind by
a 8 to 3 count going into the
ninth, the Pelicans tied It on
Pinch-Hitter Benham's single to
center, an Infield out, Manager
Bishop's single to right and two
errors. After Bishop singled
Benham across, he stole second
and went to third when Worth-
ley's throw went through Swar
yck, covering the bag. Then.
when the ball skidded through
Wray's legs In centerfield Bish
op came all the way home with
the tieing run.
That set the stage for the Cra
ters' last-of-the-ninth outburst,
started by Worthley'i screech
ing double to left. Wray scratch
ed a single to short and, after
Hoffard grounded out, Lieber
was Intentionally passed to load
the bases. Benham, who re
lieved Virgil Haynes on the
Klamath mound in the ninth,
then cut loose with a wild pitch
with Gitzen at bat, and Worth
ley scored the winning run. -Dickinson

Pvt. Joe Dickinson gave up
10 hits and fanned seven in
flinging the entire game for the
Craters, while Haynes. in his
eight innings, yielded the same
number of blows and fanned
the same number. .
It was sad week-end for
Benham, for he was charged
with both Klamath losses, his
first defeats of the season. :
