Ml II. If KTS jLn,TflPi mil "10 E TROUT HURLS U I1 Katonen Meets Davidson in Middle Tiff of Tonight's Armory Mat Program. TIG EffiUP LEAD Wakefield Leads Attack as Detroit Cops the Second Game of Crucial Series. The "Gray Mask," one of wrestling's most disliked char acters, makes his southern Ore gon debut in the armory tonight against the Pacific coast light heavyweight champion, popular Jack Kaiser. They meet in the one-hour, two-out-of-three fall main event of a program that has two other fine bouts on the slate. Like the top contest, the mid dle go and the curtain-raiser will both pit a clean and scientific operator against an opponent who doesn't care what he does just so he wins. Paavo Katonen, the powerful Finn who used to own the coast light-heavy title (until he met Kaiser), will tangle with Harold (Buck) Davidson in the four round center attraction. Ratan In Opener Silent Ratan, deaf mute and clever as all get out, will face Pat (Rowdy) O'Dowdy in the three-heat opener. O'Dowdy is no mat angel. Little is known of "Gray Mask" except that he met-with a great deal of success during a recent campaign in California. where he toppled grappler after grappler with his unorthodox tactics. He weighs some 185 j pounds and supplements his il-l legitimate work with occasional) flashes of noteworthy straight I mat work. I Kaiser, one of the greatest clean grapplers in the game. Isn't worried too much about the hooded citizen but he real ized he is faced with a plenty tough evening's work. Kaiser has met and defeated many matmen of the same type as the "mask" and he knows he can do it again. I IN FINAL GAME Cleveland, Sept. 21 (U.R) Two unbeaten teams, the Ham mer Field, Calif., Raiders, de fending men's champs, and thei Portland, Ore., Lind and Fom eroy ten, favored to cop the girls' diadem awaited final round, competition tonight in the world aoftball championships here. Four other clubs, following elimination of 26 of the nation's top softball teams in the past five days of tourney play, are still In the running for title honors. The soldiers from Hammer Field last night battled 18 win nings, 11 more than regulation, before nosing out a tough Fort Wayne, Ind., Zollner Pistons team, 2-1. In the women's division, the Portland Lassies who white washed the Stamford, Conn., Nutmegs, 1-0, yesterday and in four games have not permitted an opponent to tally a run look like sure winners.

See Us Top Pricei No Delay Any Male or Model Skinner's Garage 143 S. Riverside - Ph. 2740 New York, Sept. 21 CUR) Frank (Stubby) Overmire of the Detroit Tigers, a little man with a long memory, awaited his chance today to gain, revenge against the New York Yankees a chance he has awaited for a year. The Yankees are reeling on their heels now, all but mathe matically out of the American league pennant race, but things were different last season when Overmire, a rookie pitcher, per mitted them to clinch the flag. The 5-foot, 7-inch Dutchman, didn't want to be the "fall-guy" and he battled the Bronx Bomb ers 14-inings before losing 2 to 1 nt Yankee stadium. The fact that he pitched cred itably and lost to the league's best hurler. Spud Chandler, didn't minimize his bitterness. He wanted revenge and today the situation is reversed. The Tigers aren't going to clinch the penant yet but no matter what the Yankees do, they aren't likely to be the team to beat them out of it. Presuming that the Tigers are due for a slump and that they may play no better than .500 baseball in their remaining 12 games, which isn't likely, the Yankees now four games behind would have to win 10 out of 12 to tie them and 11 out of 12 to win. The case of the Boston Red Sox is even more hopeless. Six games off the pace they would have to win all 12 of their re maining games to tie the Tigers if Detroit broke even and couldn't win under any circum stances unless the league leaders dropped below ,.500. Tough For Browns Even the second place St. Louis Browns have a tough row to hoe. They would have to win seven out of 11 games to tie the Tigers and there is no reason to think the league leaders are going to drop to a .500 pace when they have won 10 of their last 12 games. Paul (Dizzy) Trout, one of the Tiger "victory twins," got in his licks against the Yanks yester day, beating them 8 to 2 in his 25th victory and his sixth straight against the world cham pions this year. It was the sec ond straight Tiger victory over the Yankees, and their ninth de feat in 10 tries at Briggs stadium this year. Outfielder Dick Wake field, who has made 25 hits in his last 50 times at bat, started Trout off to victory with an in-side-the-park homer in the sec ond off Rookie Mel Queen, who lost his second game after five victories for the Yanks. The Browns kept their ebbing hopes alive by beating the Wash ington Senators 5 to 2. Cleveland outlasted Boston, winning 11 t 10 in the 13th by1 scoring two runs in its half after j the Red Sox had scored once. I Chicago made all its runs in the seventh to defeat the Phila delphia A's 6 to 1. J Pittsburgh kept intact its slim chance to tie St. Louis in the National by beating Brooklyn 2j to 1 while the Cards were rain-' ed out at Boston. I The Philadelphia Phillies established their longest winning! streak of the year, six straight, by beating Cincinnati 3 to 2 in the opener of a double header, but Bucky Walters came back to win the second for the Reds 6 to 4, picking up his 22nd victory. Wakefield Sparks Detroit In Thrilling Title Drive By Jack Cuddy United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Sept. 21 U.R The "vigor of Wakefield" has come to be recognized as the most potent force in the American league pennant pusch, and potentially a determining factor in the approaching world series.

It was Dangerous Dick Wake field, the $32,000 beauty, who paired yesterday with Fire-Balier Trout to drive another nail into the New York Yankees' coffin, 8-2. In five trips to the plate, this 23 year-old slugger garnered three hits, including his ninth home run of the season, mean while scoring twice and driving in two runs. He has hit safely in his last 14 games for a 521 av erage in those 14 contests. He did most of his damage yester day while the game was close. That was lust another game for. tall, handsome Dick of the chestnut hair; but it was an im portant victory for Steve O'Neill's outfit as the stretch shortens and the contending teams approach the pennant wire It put the leading Tigers two full games above the second-place Browns, and four full games ahead of the defending Yanks.

Wakefield's contributions to the Detroit pennant drive were as unexpected as they were po tent.

Despite injuries to a pair of first-stringers. Medfnrd high's T-formation Black Tornado will be in fair physical condition for its opening game of the season against the Weed high Cougars here Friday night, Coach Al Simpson said today. Al Kircher, letterman end, is definitely out of the clash with a case of poison oak and Jerry Clark, hard-hitting right-halfback, won't start the contest be cause of a slight touch of flu. However, Simpson said, Clark may get into the clash before the final gun. With Kircher sidelined, Simp son has shoved Howard Whil lock, lanky sophomore, into the flank position. In the backfleld he has shifted Earl Barnhart from fullback to right half and placed Marvin Doty at fullback. Other posts in the all letterman baekfield will be manned by Glen Bostwick, left half, and Bob Watson, quarterback. The mentor revealed that Lynn Bcssonettc, 210-pound tackle who has been taking things easy because of an in jured shin was ready to go and would see action. He also said that Greene and Tlngley were giving Porter and Cahili. start ing guards a tough battle and would play a great deal. Othor starters will probably be Riggs end; Sheldon and Plas kett. tackles, and Cave, center. The line one of the biggest in Medford history will average about 192 pounds. Little is known of the Cou gars except that several first stringers re back from the team which last year caotured the northern California champion ship. Paul Davis of Grants Pass will referee, Virgil Swanson of Med ford will umpire and Norman Sting of Medford will act as head linesman. Thursday.
