Don't let those bearish report about

He's been a bit slow getting tuned

Billy Hulen 8&71:
Bay and Machado
Farmed to Grants
Pass by St. Louis
The farm system in organised base
ball may be a "necessary evil," as
Clsrk Griffith, president and owner
of the Washington Senators of the
American league remarked the other
day, but It has certainly provided
the largest single factor In the come
back of the national pastime all over
the country.
Last year, for example, there were
eight class D leagues In America, the
loweat rating given a circuit In or
ganized ball. Thla sesson there are
31 such leagues m operstion, and ac
cording to all Information we can
gather from close perusal of the St.
Loula Sporting News, baseball pub
lication, not one of them Is on the
brink of folding up before the sesson
Is over.
Although no records are available,
It would be aafe to say that 80 per
cent of the teams In the 31 olass D
leaguea are backed by major lea
gue or large minor league clubs. The
method of operation Is simple: The
class D outfit receives financial help
through the season If It needs It,
In return for giving the "angel"
team flrat call on any promising
players developed. In many cases,
the class D club Is owned outright
by the large organisation and all Its
playera are therefor the property of
the mother team. However, the ma
jority of farm teams merely have a
working agreement with the major
or large minor league team, getting
life-blood la the form of cash when
needed and turning over young play-
era who may go places, in return for
the capital.
The system embrsces every minor
league in the country and has saved
many ft circuit from going on the
rooka midway through the season for
lack of capital to carry on. For that
matter, It doesn't stick to teams In
organized baseball, either.
Right here In our own Southern
Oregon league, two ball playera are
the property of a major league out
fit, and are due to advance neat eea-
son Into sn organized league. They
are Earl Ray and Arnold Machado,
young outfielders for the Oranta Pass
Merchants, snd both are going great
guns. Both sre the property of the
St. Louts Browns of the American
league, and were turned over to
Oranta Paas by Willis Butler, Brownie
scout, to be under the coaching of
JUd Pernoll, former msjor leaguer
and manager of the Grants Pass elub.
Rsy, aocordlng to Fred Roper, busi
ness manager of the Merchants, la
19 yeara old and a graduate of Fresno,
Cel., high school. He seems the bet
ter prospect of the two playera, clout
ting above .400 so far thla year and
leading the league In home-runs.
Machado, Roper aays, Is 30 yesrs old
and received his schooling at Oakley,
Cel., high achool. Both youngstera
look like oomera In the eyea of But
ler, Roper said.
Of course. In the Orsnts paas ease.
St. Louis gives no financial backing
for the flrat call on Ray and Ma
chado, who already belong to them.
They were merely turned over to the
Merchants In return for Grants Pass
furnishing the two Jobs. It helps
Grants pass and the Browns, how
ever, In that the Merchants get two
fine players to help their club and
the two players get experience and
good coaching all year, satisfying the
demsnds of the St. Louis fsrm sys
tem. Roper, who la about tops as a baae-
bsll promoter In southern Oregon.
writes that four scouts hsve been In
Grants Pass this yesr looking over
what the league haa to offer In the
way of promising talent. They were
all Interested In Chuck Oetrum, Mer
chant centerftelder. Roper atated.
Chuck la singling at a temrtc clip,
and the Oranta Pasa business msnager
said he wouldn't be aurprtsrd If the
fielder was signed before the sesson
waa over.

RIVALRY ERUPTS
The Impending Ashlsnd-Medford
baseball battle next Sunday at the
local high school turf field, will hsve
no bearing on the first-half South
ern Oregon league pennant chase, a
fact which dempena the spirit of the
two bitter rivals not in the least.
Both clubs hsve been removed from
the championship battle; for that
matter, only Roseburg hss the barest
chsnce of catching the high-flying
Crescent City Chlnooks. But, so far
aa the Craters and Llthtana are con
cerned, the game holda all the Im
portance of a world series. ' John Q.
Pans of both cities feci the same way
about It, too.
With the brilliant Bob Hardy
southpswlng them over the plstter to
Cliff ("Chief") McLesn. the Llthtana
of Manager Leonard Hall are now con
sidered the circuit over as the team
to beat In the second half. Hard;
and McLean helped the University
of Oregon win the northern division
pennant of the Paclflo coast confer
ence this spring, and last year formed
a fair to mlddlln' Grants Pass battery.
The two have never cared much
for Medford ball clubs, and for that
matter, nobody in Ashland has. There
Is no club In the S. o. L. the Llthtana
would rather knock over than Man
ager Mike Balkovlck's Craters, and It
can truthfully be said that the latter
aggregation feels the 'same wsy to
ward the Ashland tesm. That rivalry
la historic, and was fanned Into a
small blsze this spring by more then
mud sccusatlons hurled from one
club at the other that the latter team
waa attempting to grab playera of the
former team. Nothing waa ever prov
ed, nor was snythlng ever done about
It. However, the unfriendly feellne-
still exists, the natural outlet for
which Is right out there on the ball
field.
On paper, Ashland has the better
ball elub, what with Hardy and Mc
Lean In there doing the throwing
and receiving, and Ager, Schopf and
Leavens clouting over .300. Hardy
la the best chucker In the circuit,
and McLean the heaviest hitter In
addition to ranking near the top' In
oatchlng duties.
However Manager Balkoylck of the
locals seems to be getting plenty of
sleep nights snd thst condition csn
probably be attributed to the fact
that the Craters will present the
strongest lineup to take the field
this year. Rusa Acheson, George
Harrington, Duke Hanklnson, Virgil
Swanson and Dick Hoffman will all
be ready to go. Swanson snd Hoff.
man didn't play last Sunday, being
unable to make the Roseburg trip:
Hanklnson Is practically recovered
from his sprslned ankle; Harrington,
a aweet hitter, will see his first ac
tion with the Crsters; snd Acheson,
who got two blows last Sunday In
his first game this year, wsnta a
couple more against Hardy.
Larry Pepper, curveballer, or Ray
Erlckson, the tough luck boy of the
Cratera hurling atsff, will dot the
Medford pitching.

LOST BY HUBBELL
By BILL BOM
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
Perhsps Charley Ruffing knew what
he waa doing when be held out until
May 8.
For today the Rupert Rifles are a
full game ahead of American league's
pursuers on the strength of Rutflng's
sixth victory end second straight
rbutout, a 8-0 blsnklng of the Clare
lsnd Indians.
In thst position, they a-e a great
ileal better off than the Giants. Msn
ager Bill Terry led his troops Into
Pittsburgh as National league pace
setters but the Bucs won, 7-8; sent
Carl Hubbell to the ahowera for the
fifth atralght time, and dropped the
New Yorkers Into the second slot,
hslf a game away from the Cubs.
Shortly after that defeat, Terry an
nounced he had sent Frank Oabler
and Caah, estimated at 83S.000 to the
Boston Bees In exchsnge for outfielder
Wally Berger.
While Ruffing has been winning
complete games for the Tanks, an
other big right hander, Clay Bryant,
haa been saving gamea for the Cuba.
Clay pulled another out of the fire
yesterday to defeat Boston, 8-4 and
put Chicago on top for the flrat time
this yesr. Four of his five triumphs
have come In relief roles.
The Giants' defeat by the Pirates
marked another episode In the mys
terious malady that has beset Hub
bell since the Dodgers ended his two
year winning streak at 34 games. He
Issted less than two Innings and lost
his third In a row.
Whtle the Tanks were whipping the
Indians, the Tigers won a 18-lnnlng
msrsthon from the Senators. 9-8, snd
moved Into second ahead of the White
Sox. The latter lost to Lefty Grove
and the Red Sox, 8-1, the same score
by which the Browns wh'pped the
Athletics.
The Cardinals bleated 14 hits off
three Phil pitchers to win their
ninth tn ten starts, snd Waits Hoyt
lost his first gsme lrr a Brooklyn uni
form. 4-3, aa the Dodgers' ninth' in
