Tornado Easily Defeats G.P. Thinclads 92 to 27 By Hank Green Mail Tribune Sporli Editor Medford high trackmen once again indicated they would be tough foes to deieat when they romped over Grants Pass high in a "short distance" meet here Saturday afternoon 92 to 27 in which the Black Tornado never was behind. The local thinclads took 12 out of 14 firsts, nine seconds and five thirds plus a tie for second. Medford won all three places in the shot put. low hurdles and discus. Relays' Results Grants Pass took its only first places in the pole vault and high jump. In addition the Tornado won two places in the 880-yard relay and three in the 440 relay. How ever, the 440 relay did not count in the points total due to techni calities. A slow track plus cold and sprinkles of rain failed to slow down the Tornado much and Coach Bob Newland indicated he was much pleased with the local youths considering these U a cniA in nnp event the Medford boy winner outdid what had been considered tne dcsi. Coach Russ Werner said be fore the meet started that several of his best boys would not be able to compete. It was notice- -t,l cnnHalnrc that SPVPral Of the Cavemen were inexperienced ana raincr yuuuR.

Joe Louis To Join Circus Exhibitions Waco, Tex., Mar. 25 iU.R) , Retired World's Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis said today he would not return to the ring in an effort to regain the title held by Ezzard Charles but would make a 94-day tour with Daily brothers circus. , The famed Brown Bomber made his announcement at a press conference in a Waco tour ist court today only a few hours before he was to enter the ring for what he said probably would be his final public boxing ap pearance in the United States. Statement Given "After due consideration by Marshall Miles, my manager, Manny Seamon, my trainer, and myself, I will not return to the ring to try to regain the heavy weight championship of the world," Louis said in a prepared statement. "Instead, I will make an ex hibition tour through South America and on my return will join Dailey brothers circus on May 24 for a tour of Canada." Louis, now ncaring 3fl and weighing 230 pounds, said he did not want to go back to "the drudgery of a training camp." and added that his decision also had a financial angle. Per Cent Of Gate He said he did not believe any promoter could afford to stage a championship bout for him since he would want "at least 35 per cent of the gate in comparison with the usual 20 per cent of fered challengers. "By the time Champion Ez zard Charles got his 40 per cent cut and I got 35 per cent, no promoter could afford to handle the bout," Louis said. DEER GET MICKEY Cleveland. O.

Mich.) proposed today that a non partisan commission be created to appraise the responsibilities of the United States as the "world's spearhead in the quest of dependable peace." His suggestion was in a letter congratulating Foregin Recovery Chief Paul G. Hoffman on the economic cooperation admini stration's second anniversary next week. It represented still another proposal from a congress searching restlessly for a new peace formula. It was the ailing republican foreign policy spokesman's first major statement on world affairs in months. Vandenberg recom mended that the proposed commusion be modeled after the "Harriman commission," which was created at his insistence two years ago to break ground for congression al approval of the Marshall plan. Warn Doctors About Anti-Histamine Drug Portland. Ore. (U.R Dr. M. L. Margason. president of the Multnomah County Medical Soci ety, says the anti-histamine "wonder" drugs have their draw backs. 1 He said the drugs, advertised as "atomic" cold killers, actually can be dangerous to loggers, bricklayers, window washers, and any other men working off the ground because of drowsi ness, dizziness, headache and vertigo "side effects." Dr. Margason was one of sev eral medical men, addressing a symposium on the use of the new cold and hay fever drug. Dr. M. R. Moore suggested that the new drugs should not be sold without a prescription. Dr. R. R. Mattcri summed up the discussion with the statement that the "wonder drug" had re ceived "exaggerated" publicity in its favor. Amateur Defective Shows Police How To Capture Thieves Atlanta U.R When Georgia law enforcement officers find themselves baffled by a major crime, two words usually some to mind "Get Doc." The "Doc" they want is Herm an Jones, a former university professor who likes to play de tective so well he established one of the most successful crimi nal investigative laboratories in the south. Jones Known To Many Jones is popularly known as the Fulton County "crime doc tor." His actual title is "director of laboratory." In that capacity he has worked on some of the most puzzling cases in this area, including last year's murder of the opera singer John Gurris. His laboratory is only two years old but man-for-man, it probably outstrips the FBI labor atory in W a s h I n g t o n. In 10 months Dr. Jones findings fig ured in 88 trials in Fulton courts and in 18 hearings in other parts of the state. He participated in 37 autopsies, filled 30 speaking engagements and conducted 30 tours through the laboratory.

He testified or sent someone to 42 local inquests and two out-of-town hearings. In idle moments, the labora tory made knife and paint com parisons, spectograph tests, par affin casts, restored obliterated writing, and tested fingernail scrapings and the like. Numer ous tests for arsenic, mercury, strychnine and other poisons were conducted. Fulton Police Chief G. Neal Ellis said he would ask for funds to hire a trained assistant for Dr. Jones.

Texas College Steps Up Student Desires College Station, Tex. U.R Students at Texas A. & M. Col lege are learning a new applica tion for the old phrase, "incen tive pay." They stand to gain as much as $105,353.33 during the current school year as a result. In a booklet distributed to stu dents. A. & M. officials an nounced that cash scholarships, fellowships, prizes and awards made to scholars during the school year would total about that. , Another $75,000 is being made available to graduate students through teacher assistantships. The large amout being offered is mainly the result of an "incen tive pay" plan devised by school officials four years ago. At that time similar scholarship awards totaled about $15,000. Studies indicate that good crop rotation supplemented by me chanical practices can make an additional two to six inches of water available to crops. fi'qAfcfoM ) the owest 'price fefcf tCOHOMYl IHTIWORSI PtRfORMMCE! , MIRACLE RIDtl PROVED lUXURX t HIGH' s 17 267.1 Delivere a in Medford Cooksey Motor Co., Inc.
