CRATER INFIELD
MAY BE HELPED
BY TALENT YOUTH
Dick Skeeters Tentatively
Slated for Keystone Post
Since Recent Loss . of
Donovan, Third Baseman
Toung Dick Bseeters. the Talent
high school whiz, may hold the key
to Medford'a Inileia prooiema.
That waa the word of Managor
Mike Balkovlck yesterday aa ha oom
minted on the condition of tha
Crater's Inner works following the
loss of Donny Donovan, who signed
with the Jlllt club of the Northern
California circuit.
"Skeeters la a sweet second base
msn," the husky Medford skipper
announced,' "and we may use him
at that position. If he goes like 1
think he should, then Swanson can
be shifted to first base or the out
field."
Only 15 Yean Old.
Skeeters Is the 19-year-old kid who
pitched Talent high to the county
' pennant without the loss of a game.
His natural post Is In the Infield,
his high school coach. Linn Mills.
says. Balkovlck, after one look.agreed.
However, Manager Balkovlck Is still
up In the air regarding the Infield
that will be out there when Jake
Olpe brings his rough and tpugh
Glendate Loggers here next Sunday
to open Medford'a home schedule
and dedicate the new turf field at
the high school.
He said that Ray Lewis, who play
ed shortstop In high school, may be
given a crack at the third base por
tion, 'allowing Wally Rlckert, regu
lar second Backer, to return to hie
old post. Dick Lewis Is a fixture at
shortstop.
Dick Hoffman, who held down tha
Initial cushion at Ashland last Sun
day, may also be given a whirl at
second or third base, the manager
said,
- Rlckert Needed at 2nd.
At any rate, the crying need Is for
a third baseman who can throw.
Rlckert's arm is not too strong, al
though he fields the hot corner in
beautiful style, but Balkovlck fig
ures the club would be strengthened
with Wally back at his old second
base position. However, If Skeeters
ahould turn out to be what the
doctor ordered at the keystone sack,
Rlckert would be loft on third.

LUlsrd once played third base tor
