SOUTHERN OREGON MINER Page 6 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. Score by innings: R H E Talent ...........

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. -------------•------------- • O. F. Carson made a business trip to Klamath Falls early in the weeek.

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. Score by innings: R H K A-T 000 000 000 0 8 4 C. City 000 010 Olx— 2 3 5 WHEN THEY PLAY!
