Ashland'Talent Nine Plans League Clini
A-T’S PLAY HOST
TO GRANTS PASS
HERE ON SUNDAY
MANAGER CHARLIE SKEET-
EKS' Ashland-Talent baseball
team will be host to the second-
place Grants Pass Merchants nine
on the local high school field at
2:30 p. m. Sunday. Grants Pass is
tied with Medford and Glendale
for that position but if the A-Ts'
showing at Crescent City last Sun
day means anything, the Mer
chants are going to be in for a
tough afternoon of baseball. The
A-T's have three able pitchers in
Combest, DiSordi and Haynes and
their batting is showing better
with each practice, as is their
fielding'.
The A-T's have been climbing
from the cellar steadily since a
slow league start, and are doped
to give Grants Pass a tough tussle
here from the first pitch to the
last. Starting lineup probably will
place DiSordi in the box with Rich
Skeeters doing the receiving. Tiny
Jones will spike first base, Max-
son or Leavens second, Schopf at
shortpatch, Neil third base, Pete
Montgomery in center field, Ed
Learning in left, and Don Mont
gomery in right. Ready to warm
up at a nod from Manager Skeet
ers will be Wayne Combest and
Haynes, while Eddie Joanis also
will be in uniform ready for utility
service. Ashland's popular cop,
Parker Hess, may don A-T colors
for the day and cavort in the in
field, it was indicated from prac- I
tice sessions this week when the '
strong-armed player worked out I
on second base.
------------ _•------------
MINERS CALI. PRACTICE
With a week between games, the
Miner Press players will be called
to practice at the high school field
at 6 o’clock sharp Monday evening
for a stiff workout, according to
Manager Leonard Hall.
i
Sailor Trout To Meet
Bulldog in Medford
Ring Monday Night
A pair of undefeated gladiators
will clash in the top main event
at Medford armory Monday night
when Sailor Dick Trvut, he ol the
airplane spin, meets hammerlock
specialist Bulldog Jackson. Jack-
son's shady methods of mat per
formance have been the undoing
of his four opponents who he has
met to date but if he can get over
the exceptionally clever Trout the
tans will have to admit that he's
good.
Trout has put all except one of
his opponents through his deadly
spin, the lucky man being Mar
shall Carter who held Trout to a
draw. Tiout can uncork some vic
ious jabs if his man wants to work
that way and Jackson always
does.
Otis Clingroan of Amarillo, Tex.,
who made a successful debut last
Monday, will meet Jim Spencer in
the middle bout. Spencer is a
tough guy and stops at nothing
to gain his point but will be up
against tough opposition in Cling-
man. The Texan showed some
clever work in his only other ap
pearance and should make things
hot for the Missourian.
New York Sammy Kohen, the
physical culture specimen, will
have a tough job in the opener
when he tangles with Vem Clark. I
Kohen is a roughneck while Clark
has a well-known ability to tame
such men.
This go will get under way at
8:30 p. m. promptly.
ROGUES,* PINE
BOX SPLIT WINS
The hapless Talent softball team
went down to another defeat at
the high school field Wednesday
night and the Rogues took their
second win of the season by a
score of 14 to 7. A five-run rally
in the sixth inning was the best
Talent could do but an eight-run
splurge in the fifth was too much
for the fire-eaters to overcome.

Errors and lavish issuing

walks proved too much for the
Miners in the second game Wed
nesday evening and the pressmen
took their first defeat of the sea
son to the tune of 8 to 11 at the
hands of the popular I*ine Boxers.
Jandreau and Reedy were the
stars of the game when they I
turned in an excellent job in the j
Boxer infield.
The Miners were doing alright j
for themselves until three runs in '

were too much for them.

Defensively, they're as good
an outfit as ever wilted a turf
infield with their sweatsocks.
Now they can hit, and as soon
as Manager Skeeters drills a
hunch of sick-em into the A-T
sack gallo|M*rs the race will lie
on. What a shame it is that
those two Medford games
can't be replayed. (Boyoboy,
we'd like to see M illie Hulen’s
face then—blood vessels would
stand out on his forehead like
fire hose on a paved street.)
Against Grants Pass here Sun
day on the high school field,
Poosh-Em-Hard Nig ought to send
the visitors away skying "Mister"
to their bat boy. The fireballing
righthander can throw a baseball
so fast that hitters start swinging
when they come out of the dug
out.
The local outfit has developed a
smooth-working infield, a dead
eye outfield and a steady-hitting ; '
lineup. Rich Skeeters behind the I
plate has been working as good a |
game as any of the old-timers ever
lied about, and the chunky young
ster fits back of the plate like
King Cole mingles with cracked
crabs.
The improvement of the Ash
land-Talent baseball team has not
been by accident, however. The
club was fortunate this year in
obtaining the gruff-voiced serv
ices of Charlie Skeeters of Tal-
ent, who has almost moved heaven
and earth (and with one hand
tied behind him, like this) to get
to* ether a team worthy of the
hyphenated name they bear. Char
lie is peculiarly gifted for man
aging an outfit of ball players, and
that's a gift that doesn't come
tissue wrapped and bound with
pink ribbon.
Skeeter» is mo tough he
could straighten out a .Med
ford umpire’» decisions and
yet so gentle he can pat an
elephant on the side without
crushing its ribs. Charlie also
hits a kniu k of gab that would
make one of Al Piche's radio
joke» sound funny.
It was a good thing for baseball
here when Talent and Skeeters
joined up, and the combination
undoubtedly will give this end of
the county one of the best league
entrants in several years. Fans
who like excitement, interest and
ultimate triumph should see the
game here Sunday even if they
have to lock Junior in the closet
and let the wife pour out her
troubles to her mother for the
afternoon.

RECORD SOFTBALL GAME
In a softball game at Spokane,
Wash., June 11, the Ancient Order
of United Workmen met the Mar
ine Reserve corps. After playing
155 innings, the United Workmen
finally won the game by a score
of 110 to 94. The playing time
was 15 hours and 10 umpires and
30 players were used. This game
broke the record claimed by two
Los Angeles teams who played 86
innings recently.

Poor base running and bad

ing of big Frank (Nig) DiSordi
at Crescent City last Sunday and
the Merchants took a 2-0 win over
Ashland-Talent DiSordi turned in
one of the best performance» of
his mound career and also did his
share at the plate, where he got
one hit for four trips which was
as good as any of his teammates
could do. DiSordi got a bad break
on his hit, which was a sizzler
into center field. The fielder jug
gled it but recovered the ball in
time to catch Leavens who had
overran second base, and to hold
Neil on third.
Hanscom of the coast outfit got
a circuit cloud in tiff- eighth with
nobody on base.
Daylight robbery occurred in the
fifth when, after Pete Montgom
ery got in scoring position on a
hit, Ed Learning sent a long blast
into left field which had a home-
run tag on it. Hanscom turned his
back on the ball and dashed to the
edge of the lot where he caught
the fly in a spectacular lunge.
Mike Koll of the Merchants was
credited with 16 strikeouts while
DiSordi whiffed eight would-be
hitters.
