The Medford Craters, far from dis

which the Pirates blasted over three

4-3, are training their sights on tall
Bob Hardy and hla Ashland team
mates, who will Invade the local or

the last game of the first-half
Southern Oregon league schedule.
Rated as one of the strongest clubs
In the circuit now, following their
acquisition of Hardy and Cliff Mc
Lean. University of Oregon battery,
the fast-stepping Lit Mans will face
a Medford team strengthened In every
department. Duke Hankinsoh, who
was previously reported out for the
season with a badly sprained ankle,
will probably be fit to see service,
and Virgil Swanaon, flashy outfielder,
will also be able to play.
Russ Acheson, member of the high
school coaching staff, played his first
game last Sunday against Roseburg
and cellected two hits in three trips.
He will add needed batting power to
the Crater club. George Harrington,
Llnfleld college athlete and newly
appointed junior high coach, is also
expected to report for workouts this
week. Harrington la a catcher or
outfielder, and considered a good
hitter.
Manager Mike Balkovlck will send

and fielding drills every day this
week, with performances in practice

The embrogllo, a re-match from
last week's blood and thunder affair,
was billed for no tlme-llmlt and
with no referee in the ring. There waa
no referee In the arena, alright, but
the mad melee waa over In exactly

locks. The first fall took 14 minutes

made one trip into the first row of
spectators and Joe had traveled the

most of the work waa done in the
first, second and third rows, with
Referee Ray Friable, stationed out
side the arena, trying vainly to get
vt.lalns back where they belonged.
Pete finally ended the first heat by
clamping on a painful hammerlock

EASY FOR Dl
ST. LOUIS. June 15. P) There Is
one American league ball player who
smiles with glee every time he lands
In St. Louis or every time the Browns
drop off In New York for a game.
He Is Joe DIMagglo, who for a yesr
and a half has made life quite mis
erable for Brownie pitchers and
pleasant for his own batting average.
Joe is up past .350 In the averages
right now and hit .350 last season,
but If he had batted against the
Browns more often, there Is no telling
where he might have landed. Since
arriving on the major league horizon
he has belted Brownie hurlers to the
tune of .493.
Last season Joe smacked the locals
for .525. He marched up to bat 99
times and collected 53 bits. So far
this year be has made 18 hit off the
Browniea In 35 trips. The combined
marks show he has pounded out 68
hits In 134 times up.
This sesson's drive Include a dou
ble, a triple snd five homers three
of which came In succession In Isst
