WORKED
Friday night was an evening of
surprises in the city softball
league as the under-dog Elks nine
rode to a 12 to 9 victory over the
league-leading Pine Boxers in the
first extra-inning game of the sea
son and the Miner Press surprised
everyone but themselves as they
turned back Hilt 4 to 3 in a fast
game.
The Elks were behind 4 to 2
going into the fifth inning where
a three-run rally put them ahead
5 to 4. In the sixth the Boxers
tied it up. The seventh frame saw
each club score twice but Elks
scored five runs in the eighth and
held their opponents to two.

he'd never actually seen anyone
do it. When the Medford Craters
played the colored Kansas City
Monarchs that evening, two Med
ford runners were aboard- one on
second, the other on third. Steve
Crippen, the runner on the key
stone. pulled a Broady by stealing
third while the bewildered runner
there fumbled with his feet won

while Crippen dogged it back to

the forced-off runner scored.

To Annex City Title
BPO Elks, largely due to the
efforts of Jean Eberhart, won the
right to represent Ashland in the
district softball play-offs at Klam
ath Falls Thursday and today
when they took a 16 to 15 win
over the Dodgers in the finals of
the local play-offs Tuesday night.
The Lodgemcn were trailing 12

and midway in the fourth Dodger
Manager Parker Hess pulled Dar

sent in Clifford (Chief) Mclx*an.
Because McLean had been a
mem lx* r of Medco in the Medford
league, his playing drew protests
from Elks' Boss Harry Morris but
the purple and white clad boys
went on to set the Chief back on
his heels and walk off with the
win.
In the fifth inning, with the
bases loaded, Eberhart slammed a
home run into deep left field to
become the hero of the game Par
ker Hess got two singles, a triple
and a home run out of four tripe
to the plate to be the game's big
hitter.
