add plenty of punch to the
Brownies' lineup, a department
in which they were sadly lack
ing last year. There were no
.300 hitters on the club In 1945
and the team finished seventh
in batting in the American

The big man of the group Is
Walt Judnich, slugging center
fielder, who starred on an army
team and hit .313 for the
Browns in 1942, his last year in
the majors.

BATTLE ROYAL TO
START 1946 MAT
A six-man battle royal will
feature the first wrestling card
of the local 1948 season, Promo
ter Mack Lillard announced
yesterday. Lillard said he had
signed the cream of the coast's
tough guys as well as some of
the finest grapplers now appear
ing in the west.
Topping the villianous side of
the lineup will be the return of
Earl Maione, who only recently
returned to the coast. Maione
appeared here in several match
es about a year ago and became
one of the most detested mat
men ever to climb into the Med
ford armoiy ring. Pete Belcas
tro, the rugged Weed Italian,
and Jack (Buck) Lipscomb, for
mer coast champion, round out
the list of uncouth muscle
manglers scheduled for the free-for-all.
Others in the melee will
be Angelo Martlnelll, Herb
Parks, and Gust Johnson.
Three regulation matches will
follow the battle royal with
pairings to be decided in order
of elimination. All bouts will
be three rounds or one fall.
It takes about 30 cubic feet of
undecayed vegetable matter to
make one cubic foot of coal.

Tornado Gains Comfortable
Lead in Fourth Quarter;
Wins By 43 to 39 Score
Establishing a comfortable
lead early in the fourth quarter,
Medford high hoopsters offset a
Salem rally and outscored a
plucky Viking five, 43-39, in a
bitterly staged contest here Fri
day evening.
The Tigers built up a 39-27
margin before the scrappy capi
tal city boys, sparked by "Cub"
Houck and Gene Mason, closed
in.
Medford garnered a 9-8 ad
vantage in the opening canto
and was ahead the remainder of
the distance. Half-time score was
23-17 and the third stanza ended
33-25.
Greater ability at the free toss
line accounted for the Medford
victory as each team looped in
14 field goals. The Tornado tal
lied 15 gift points to the Viking's
11. Glenn Bostwick sank six out
of seven free toss tries. Refcreji
charged Salem with 21 fouls and
Medford with 17. Bob Watson of
the Tornado and Jack Fitz
maurice and Roger Dasch of the
Vikings were booted from the
game for too many infractions.
Jerry Ross and Glenn Bost
wick of Medford and Gene
Mason of Salem divided scoring
honors with eight markers
apiece.
Harold Hank, Salem mentor,
stated after the game that the
Tornado was his proteges' tough
est battle this season. Lack of
a suitable pair of shoes kept Al
Chamberlain, Viking guard, on
the bench most of the fray.
Coach Al Simpson substituted
players freely to offset the
weariness of the Tornado, who
had returned from San Francis
co Wednesday. Roosevelt down
ed Lincoln, 17-14, and Jackson
beat Washington, 27-fl, In local
grade school preliminary games.

MEDFORD ARMORY
TO
Cards Get $175,000 Third
Largest in History
For Battery Star
New York, Jan. 5 (U.F9 The
New York Giants purchased
catcher Walker Cooper from the
St. Louis Cardinals for $175,000
tonight. It was the third larg
est player cash transaction in
baseball history.
Cooper, 31 next Tuesday, was
the outstanding catcher in the
major leagues when he left the
Cardinals to go into the navy
shortly after the 1945 season
started. Owner Horace Stone
ham of the Giants expects him
to be discharged in April.
Only Joe Cronin, manager of
the Boston Red Sox, and Dizzy
Dean brought more money in
the player market. Owner Tom
Yawkey shelled out $250,000
and shortstop Lyn Lary to the
Washington Senators for Cron
in. The Chicago Cubs paid the
Cardinals $187,000 for Dean,
who developed a sore arm al
most at once which forced his
retirement from baseball.
The sale of the hard-hitting
catcher climaxed a busy day for
the Cardinals for they also sold
infielder Jimmy Brown to the
Pittsburgh Pirates for an esti
mated $30,000.
In announcing the sale. Stone
ham revealed that the Cardinals
accepted the Giant offer they
also had bids from the Philadel
phia Phillies and Boston Braves
because it was not contingent
upon Cooper being discharged
from the service.
Stoneham said owner Sam
Breadon of the Cardinals ad
vised him that Cooper, who is
stationed at Lambert Field, St.
Louis, now has 31 points four
short of the lower navy dis
charge point score which went
into effect today and expected
his discharge in mid-April. .
"I'm sure Cooper will help
our pitching and be a steadying
influence on our club," Stone
ham commented.
The deal broke up baseball's
most famous brother combina
tion. Pitcher Morton Cooper
was sold to the Braves last
spring shortly after Walker was
inducted. They had spent their
entire major league careers
with the same club the Cardin
als being vital factors in the
three pennants and two world
series which the Redbirds won
in 1942, 1943 and 1944. Only
in '43 did the Cardinals miss
the world's title.
