Charles Ordered
To Take Physical
Examination Soon
Washington. Apr. 24-4U.R)
The National Boxing associa
tion, issuing stern orders to all
its champions, turned to ailing
Heavyweight King Ezzard
Charles today and told him to re
port for a physical examination.
The N. B. A. 's executive com
mittee said it wanted to find out
whether the Negro battler from
Cincinnati was well enough to
defend his crown. "Conflicting
reports" about him have reached
the 20-man committee since
Charles twice postponed title
fights against Freddie Beshore.
Col. Heinle Miller, executive
secretary of the N. B. A., said the
examination would take place
'very soon and would prob
ably" be performed by an offi
cial of the Pennsylvania boxing
commission.
The committee also warned
Charles and all other champions
to stop selecting "mediocre oppo
sition for title bouts" and give
logical contenders a shot at their
crowns.

Rogues Bow
To Klamath
In Practice
Wildness on the part of Med
ford pitchers outdid similar
troubles for Klamath Falls hurl
ers and the Gems won a 13 to 9
victory over the Rogues in a
non-league game at Lodi, Cal.,
yesterday afternoon. Saturday
night the local Far West league
club lost to Marysville 7-2.
The Rogues used four nitch.
ers, including two who only re
cently jomea tne ciud. while
Klamath used two. All six were
more than a little liberal with
their bases on balls and hit bats
men. Medford could not take
advantage of the wildness as
well as the Gems.
Big feature of the Sundav
game from a Medford standpoint
was a home run with the bases
full by Outfielder Buckley in the
fifth inning. Three walks and
i;artwrignt reaching on an er
ror had forced in one run when
Buckley unloaded his 400-foot
blast over the right center fence.
rJUCKley Had singled to left
center to score Stewart from
third in the fourth inning. Stew
art had walked and Manager
lommy Nelson had sent him to
tnird with a sharp single
'through the hole" at second
base on a hit-and-run.
Business Manager Mel Caroen
ter of the Rogues announced that
tne local club was going to look
over Bob Harkins, former Med

(U.R) The $1,100 check young
Fred Hawkins of El Paso, Tex.,
received today for winning the
$10,000 Cavalier specialists golf
tournament had a double signi
ficance! It was the most money he ever

The husky Hawkins, who start
ed playing professionally in 1947,

54 holes to beat Veteran Clayton

two strokes. Jimmy Demaret,
the favorite and co-holder of the
lead going into the final round,
suddenly fell apart, carded a
four-over par 73 as compared
with Hawkins' 69, and wound up
in fifth place with 204.
Hcafner's second place finish
was worth S!50 while Johnny
