Von Poppenheim, Montana To Vie Grants Pass Kurt von Pop penheim, the proud Prussian, will get a chance to settle his feud with Bull Montana at the Josephine County Fairgrounds arena this Wednesday night. Poppenheim has engaged Mon tana in a couple of bloody brawls in Portland and Roseburg and the score is even in wins and losses. Kurt became vexed when he heard of the way Montana clob bered O'Reilly here last week and jumped at the chance to clash with Montana again. O'Reilly subbed for the injured Larry Chene against Montana and he was unable to return to the ring for the third fall after a couple of atomic drops applied by the Bull. At the present time these two roughnecks are recognized as outstanding challengers for the Pacific coast junior heavy crown now held by Chene. Montana is an exponent of the piledriver and the atomic drop while Pop penheim favors the Boston Crab and the German Crossbow nolds Bill Fletcher asked for a re match against the Texan, Tommy Phelps, for the semi final. Phelps poured it on him in the ropes last week. Phelps is a big rough newcomer from Dal las, Tex. STARTS TOUR Melbourne, Australia (U.R) Harry Hopman, Australia's Dav is Cup tennis coach, will leave for a tour of Europe and the United States next month and will take Red Laver and Bob Mark, two teen-aged Aussie players, along to gain experience in international matches. i . . - Berrios Scores Win Over Bell New York (U.R) Miguel Ber rios of Puerto Rico, a little guy with big plans, is moving up fast in the featherweight divi sion. Although unranked in the 126 pound class, Miguel scored an other impressive victory Mon day night when he upset vet eran Bobby Bell of Youngstown, Ohio, on a split 10-round deci sion in their return TV bout at St. Nicholas Arena. Berrios, who speaks halting English, stated in the dressing room, "I like to fight Hamia (Cherif Hamia of France) and then maybe Sandy Saddler for the title." Complying with his fighter's wish, Manager Jimmy Deangelo said he plans to post a chal lenger's check with the New York Athletic Commission for a Saddler bout but admitted he would be willing to match Ber rios against Hamia in an elimi nation tussle. Bell put up a strong and cour ageous fight but, just as in the first meeting, appeared to tire slightly in the late rounds. With about one minute left, he was staggered by a hard right and Berrios swarmed all over the Ohio veteran in a wild-eyed at tempt for a knockout. Gonzales Beats Tony Trabert Little Rock, Ark Pancho Gonzales kept his jinx over Tony Trabert here with a 6-3, 6-3 vic tory scored with tremendous serves and a better all-around game. It was Gonzales' 55th vic tory to 17 for Trabert in their cross-country professional exhi bition tennis tour. Rex Hartwig and Pancho Se- gura were tied at 10 games each when their match was stopped to allow time for other matches, Hartwig and Trabert whipped Segura and Gonzales in the dou bles match, 7-5, 6-2.

SHOWING FIRST TIME IN MEDFORD! MEDFORD SENIOR HIGH APRIL 19-20-21 8 P.A1. Sponsored by Medford Firemen Association Pucinelli Dies While Playing Golf Yesterday San Francisco (U.R) For mer major league outfielder George C. (Pooch) Pucinelli col lapsed and died of an apparent heart seizure while playing golf at Harding Oak course yester day. He vas 48. Puccinelli broke into profes sional, baseball with the old San Francisco Missions of the Pacific Coast league and went up to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1930.

McMurtry Meets Matt Jackson in Portland Today Portland (U.R) Pat McMur try, the good-looking Irishman from Tacoma, steps into the Auditorium ring here tonight to answer a question that north west fight fans have long de bated: "Can he take it?" The young puncher who has done more than anyone to stir the boxing imagination of Port land since Harry (The Kid) Mat thews, steps in tonight against Matt Jackson, an army sergeant with a dynamite laden right arm that should answer that question. Jackson has lost only two of his 28 pro bouts. McMurtry, highly praised but somewhat untested against top flight competition, has yet to lose his first pro start after an illustrious amateur record. Machen Hands Valdes Loss San Francisco (U.R) Eddie Machen, boxing around the ring like a gamecock, crashed into the big-time heavyweight pic ture Monday night by scoring a unanimous 10-round decision over Nino Valdes of Cuba be fore a wildly partisan crowd of about 6,000 at the Cow Palace Machen rolled up his points by scoring .often from the outside with crisp left hooks to the head which often made the cumber some dockworker from Havana blink. Machen, who now is un defeated In 13 professional fights, weighed 193, 19 pounds less than the towering Valdes. Valdes did not begin to get untracked until the last round when he suddenly staggered his Redding, Calif., opponent with a solid lift hook to the head Machen had to hang on for the rest of the session, but by then Valdes had gotten started too late. For the 31-year-old Valdes it was his fourth loss in his last six fights as his boxing career seemed to be near the end.
