After four long weeks on the road, Manager Mike Balkovlck sends hie fighting and greatly Improved nail club Into action against the power' ful Roseburg Pirate in a Southern Oregon league battle that will ded icate the finest high hooI baseball psrk in the state. Opening pitch is slated for 2:30 p. m. sharp. Taking part In the opening day ceremonies will be Owney Pattoa Capt. Lee Bown of the Oregon state police, and either Mayor George Por ter or Ed Lamport, president of the Southern Oregon league, Patton, former major leaguer, will hurl the llrat ball that will Inaugurate action on the new turf field. Capt. Bown, a husky, rlghthanded batter, will be up there at the plate to take ble cut, and either Mayor Porter or President Lamport will don the mask and pro tector to receive Patton 'a pitch If It gets that far. A score of Medford merchants have donated prise to Crater players for firsts." The lost pledged la a load of wood by the Medford Corporation, to be awarded the outstanding Cra ter player of the afternoon, the honor to be decided by three competent Judges. Play-by-play description of the bat tle will be announced by Vlo MUnes through loud-speaker system do nated by Heine Fluhrer. The sound car will be placed directly back of home plate behind the screen. Manager Balkovlck of the Craters announced lat night that he waa at'U undecided on his pi toning choice. It would be either Larry Pepper, the youngster with the sweeping curve bell, or Ray Henderson, he of the blinding speed and sharp hook, the manager said. Rudy Rltzman, manager of the Pirates, will start Farthering, e husky righthander, on the mound, with Golf back of the plate. Bob Smith, former Medford high sohool star football player and mem ber of last year's ball team, will hold down first base for the Craters to day. He returned from University of Oregon last night. Hank Hanklneon, 195-pound outfielder who led tho Seattle City leegue In hitting last season, will also make his first Ap pearance In Crater uniform. He ar rived with Smith. With the acquisition of the two players, who are figured to provide the necessary offensive punch to the rather weak-sticking Craters, Balko vlck will be forced to shift his line up slightly. Smith will replace Virgil Swanson on the Initial cushion, with the letter going to the outfield. Han klivon will see action In center field, where Dick Sokralda holds forth Both players will probably get in the bat tle, Balkovlck said. Remainder of the club will spread out with Welly Rtckert at second! base, Dick Lewis at short, and Dick Hoffman on third. Malcolm Stlno will cavort in left field, and Balkovlck wtll do the catching.

So far as the Roseburg Pirate are concerned, their second-place leeguu standing speaks for Itself. They have dropped only one gome out of four, and with crescent City, are consider ed the finest club in the league. The team, like Medford, Is composed of flaahy, colorful youngsters.

Sailor Dick Trout, no weakling himself, did hie level best to pin the Frenchman's shoulders to the mat last Monday, but was no match for LaDue, who almost broke his leg off with the most painful leg breaker ever seen here. Whether Chick can overcome La. Due'st power long enough to epply his famous lariat spin Is a matter of conjecture, LaDue cores little for clean grappling, and If Chick does procure his airplane spin he Is liable to be cnslderably battered up before he does.
