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.

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.

KEEPS BROWNS IN
JUNIOR L
New York, Aug. 18. (U.R)
The secret of the St. Louis
Browns' success was clarified
partially today the American
league Missourians have taken a
lesson from their city rivals, the
Cardinals, in the "never-say-die"
brand of baseball.
Monday, the Brownies took
one on the chin from the second
place Boston Red Sox and the
loss peeled a full game off their
league lead. Yesterday, however
they demonstrated championship
calibre bv beating the Sox 6-5
to restore their self respect and
also the six and a nan game
margin with which they started
their current eastern trip.
The victory was attained the
hard way too. Trailing by a
score of 5-1 going into the sixth
Inning, a deficit which could
have made a weaker club give
up, the Browns came through
with five runs in that inning and
protected their scant margin the
rest of the way to win, 6-5. A
grand slam homer by Vernon
Stephens, the club's sparkling
shortstop, accounted for four of
the runs.
Elsewhere In the league the
Detroit Tigers shot the works In
gaining an 11 inning, 3-2 edge
from the Philadelphia Athletics.
The New York Yankees re
ceived added pennant hope
when Bill Zuber returned to
pitching form to hurl a three
hit, 3-1 victory over the Chicago
White Sox.
The Cleveland Indians and
the Washington Senators played
one of the best games of the sea
son in which the tribe gained a
1-0 victory in the 12th inning on
an unearned run.
In the National league the
Pittsburgh Pirates stretched
their winning skein to nine
games by coming from behind
with a three run rally in the
eighth to beat the Boston Braves
7-5.
The Cincinnati Reds extended
their winning streak to six
games and the New York
Giants losing string to eight
with a 6-3 victory.
The Chicago Cubs brought a
halt to the four game winning
streak- of the Philadelphia Phil
lies by besting the Quakers 4-1.
Ted Wilks, rookie righthander
of the St. Louis Cardinals, gain
ed his 11th win against one de
feat, best record in the majors,
when he pitched the circuit
champs to a 6-3 victory over the
Brooklyn Dodgers.
