The opener Is scheduled to atart at 3:80 p. m. before th largest Inaugural day crowd In years. Manager Balkovlck said that he wouldn't be certain until Just before game time which of the two young righthanders would wheel them over for th locals. Both hav been look ing great In workout all week, he .stated, and It was practically a toss- up as to wnicn would open fire. Tne remainder of the Medford lineup Is fairly well established. Balkovlck will wear the big mitt and mask. On first base will be either Virgil Swsnson, a teirtfle right handed hitter, or Hoffman, a sweet fielder. Wally Rlckert will hold down sec ond base: Dick Lewis will b at the short patch, and Donovan, noasea- sor of the remarkable arm. will covr th hot corner. That Infield, according to experts, will rsnk with the finest ln the circuit. In the outer garden.' Malcolm Stlne or Paul Sakratda will be ln right, Dick Sakralda will pitrol the middle position, and cither Ray Lewis or George Oltaen will take care of left. Oltaen, Balkovlck said, may also catch a few Innings. Starting hurler for Grants Pass Is not known from among four young sters. Hugh Hartman. transferred from first ba:j, will do the catch ing. The Merchant, managed by Jud Pernoll, will consist of voune ball players ln everv noaltiAn hut three. Hartman, Melvln McCarthy on first and Chuck Ostrum In cen ter field are the lone holdovers from last year'a club which finished third in the pennant race. Likewise. Medford win present a young team, probably the most youthful in the league. Balkovlck, Rlckert, Swanson. Donovan and Dick Lewi are the only experienced Dlav- ers on the roster, and all are still far from their prime. other league openers will see Ash land entertaining Crescent City end ' Roseburg traveling to Qlendale. j A large percentage of hogs consign ed for sale at large central market arc ahlpped elsewhere for slaughter. 32 Auto Speeders Enter May 31 Race INDIANAPOLIS.
