FOTXH MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Wednwday, Xuj. 16, 1844 1 BE WATCHED CLOSELY Tony to Undergo Public Search Before Tuesday Bout Winner Takes All If Tony MorelU gets his big paws on any foreign object with which to torture Jack Lips comb, his return bout wrestling foe In the armory Thursday night, he'll have to do It with mirrors. For MorelU, the moment he enters the ring for his final main-event clash with Lipscomb will be searched thoroughly and in plain view of what Promoter Mack Lillard predicts will be a sellout crowd. . And, not only that. Members of the Medford Boxing and Wrestling commission, who de creed the searching business, will see to it that stools, water buckets, pop bottles and the like will be kept out of Morolll's reach during the progress of the brawl. In short, all that Is humanly possible will be done to make Morelll do his stuff with his hands, and his hands only. If he gets hold of anything he shouldn't he'll have to be a ma gician.' Lipscomb, after being worked over with the handle of a water faucet last Thursday night, de manded a rematch with Morelll, with the "winner to take the entire purse. He is burned to a crisp over the Tony tactics and Is certain he can whip the day lights out of him if Morelll is prevented from resorting to out side help in the form of hard articles. Both Confidant Morelll, told by the commis sion he could continue wrestling here after submitting each time to a public search, agreed to again face Lipscomb on a win- ner-take-all basis. Morelll is afraid of no grapplcr, and is equally certain he can defeat the Indiana Terror. In the lower half of the double main event, both matches to be of one-hour duration or two out of three falls, Paavo Katonen, Pacific coast light-heavyweight champion, will face Harold (Buck) Davidson. Both are clean and scientific wrestlers. Jack Kaiser, the Vancouver, Wash., flash will meet Pat O'Dowdy in the opener, slated for three rounds or one hour's wrestling time. &Jk lllenflM!

Gordon Discovers Slugging Success With Changed Swing By John United Press Sta Portland, Ore., Aug. 16(U.R) ballplayer from Eugene, Orego; Joe's departure from civilian second base duties to do some armying for Uncle Sam may have dropped him from the box scores in the nation's dally sports pages, but It hasn't curbed his ballplnying. Matter of fact, an experiment he tried while playing for the 7th air force baseball team in Honolulu may prove of lasting benefit when he finishes his tour of army duty and seeks new laurels in the baseball world. No doubt the manager of the air force team was delighted to find Gordon reporting for the team and promptly taking over the second base Job. Even If his hitting wasn't too sensational, his work In the field was up to the grade A, strictly high class Gordon pattern. What happened next sounds like a storybook but It came from Joe himself and the box score Includes nothing but the truth. He switched from the right to the left side of the plate to see if It would shake his bat ting slump. He remembered back to his Bondlot days in Portland when he batted left-hnnded oc casionally, so wondered if it would help him In Honolulu. It certainly did. The nnvy team Gordon's airmen were play ing mat day must have been popeyed when his left-handed stance resulted In two triples, a double and a single in five times nt bat, driving In seven runs. Now he's swinging from cither side and may decido to adopt the left side permanently.
