PA'GJ TEN MEDFOftD MAIL TRIBUKE. MEDFQKD. OTCEfiONT. FHTDAT. JUNE 25. 1937. Revived Craters To Tangle With Glendale Loggers Here Sunday BALKOVICK BOYS IN BEST FORM OF CURRENT SEASON Craters Brew Trouble for In vading Pitchers in Batting Practice Harrington and Acheson to Play Southern Oregon League. W. L. Crescent City 6 Roseburg 4 Grants Psaa 8 Ashland ...... 8 PC. 1.000 J3fl7 .600 .420 .286 .167 Med ford . 2 Glendale .............. I Gamm Sunday, Glendale at Medford. Ashland at Grant Pass. Roseburg at Crescent City. Imbued with a new fir following their sensational upset win over Ash land last Sunday, the Med ford Cra ters will move against the rough and tough Glendale Loggers Sunday at the high school turf field In the Southern Oregon league's first-half finale. Opening pitch is slated for 3:30 sharp. Manager Mike Balkovlck, with the weather smiling for the first full week this seaso.n has sent his charges through Intensive fielding and batting drills every afternoon, and reports the club In Its best con dition of the year. He has definitely nominated young Ray Erlckson to start on the mound for the Craters, with Larry Pepper held for emergency roles, If any. Hanklnson Recovered. Duke Hanklnson, the flashy third baseman, who la slowly recovering from an ankle Injured In the Rose burg game three weeks ago, has been slugging the ball with mighty gusto during workouts, and the huge skip per said he would start at the hot corner. All other players have been tearing tht cover off the ball In bat ting drills, and Balkovlck has visions of his club shelling Glendale's Larry Nunnenkamp with plenty of dis patch. Bud Relnktng, former Jacksonville high school athlete snd well-known In local baseball circles, algned with the Med ford team early In the week and has been reporting for practice dally. He Is a rlghthanded hitter, and con play either the infield or outfield. The manager said he would be used In the outer gardens in cae he played. Georgo Harrington. ex-Llnfleld collegian, was expected to report for practice this afternoon, and Ruas Acheson, member of the high school coaching staff, will be ready to go, Balkovlck reported. Lyle Russell, young outfielder from Cen tral Point, has also been going great In practice. Mike said. A definite lineup will not be an nounced until Sunday, big Mike aid because he wanted to cast his eagle eye over his talent Just once more today. However, it will probably be almost the same that rallied for four runs to beat the Li th tans last Sunday. Glendale Stronger, With Larry Nunnenkamp. flreballer from Willamette University, doing the hurling. Manager Jake Glpe will send a far stronger Glendale team onto the field than Indicated In the team standings. The Loggers, second best In the circuit last year, got off to a slow start this semester, and are Just now recovering. In addition to Kunnenkamp. Dwlght Catherwood, shortstop, and Rex Pierce, flrat base, have Joined the Loggers from Wil ls met t In Glpe's ambitious move to strengthen for the second half. Right now. Glendale Is figured, along with Ashland, as one of the teams to beat during the final series of ball games. Nunnenkamp and Erlckson, both fast ball throwers, are expected to stage a pretty pitching duel. The Logger twlrler lost .a tough 1-2 game to Ashland's Bob Hardy two weeks ago, and has been straining at the leaah to get In action again and prove the league Isn't too fast for him. Erlckson. possessed of a world of stuff, has, nevertheless, been the hard luck pitcher of the circuit to date. Twice he has worked beautiful games for eight Innings, only to see errors In critical moments or sur prise bssehlts by supposedly weak hlttera snatch victory from his clutch. Manager Balkovlck has never lost confidence In the young righthander. He la dead certain Erlckson has what It takes, and figures that a win will blast once and for all the Jinx that has tagged him. Erlckson will start the ball game Sunday for certain and his manager and teammates ex- j pect to go out there and help him get a victory. COAST ATHLETES FAVORED IN MEET LOS ANGELES, " June 25. (AP) The experts gathered around today nnd without much argument agreed that athletes of the Pacific coast con ference should wallop their guests from the big ten In tomorrow's dual track and field meet. Looking back at comparative per formances of the two factions In the N.C.AA. meet at Berkeley last week, the experts' predictions seemed well founded. The lads from the coast scored 174 points, led by Dean Crom well's champion southern California squad, while the b$ ten representa tives counted only 88. Competitions In the nation arc borno out when It Is recalled that the exception of the shotput and two-mile run, big ten or coast athletes captured cither first or second In every event In the NCAA. PLAN BIKE RACES WITH BALL GAMES HI SCHOOL FIELD "They're off," will b roared from the grandstand next week at the high school football field, but In place of prancing ponies and attain ing Jockeys, will be kids of Med ford, U years old or under, booting their bicycles around the quarter-mile running track for glory and prizes, each night, starting Monday and lasting until Friday, inclusive. Ru&s Acheson, who will be In charge of the bike races, said yes terday that all boys In the age limit, with bicycles, are urged to enter. The only rules, he explained, were that only vehicles with standard size sprockets would be allowed to enter, and that riders must register at City School Superintendent E. H. Hed rick's office or at the high school field this week. The race will be held In conjunc tion with the nightly Softball games and will be one mile In length- four times around the track, Med ford's youth will pedal their wheels around the track each night until Friday, when the finals between nightly winners will be staged. The four finalists will compete for the following prizes; a bicycle speed ometer donated by Sims brothers, a headlight donated by Lamport's, a ball mitt donated by Hubbard brothers, and an unamed prize by Plche's. The winner of the race Fit- day will receive the headlight, with the other wards going to the remain ing bicyclists. Winners of the nightly races will also receive milkshakes from Blgelow's confectionery. Acheson pointed out that the high school field would be open from 11-12 a. m. this week to enable the entrants to work out. and get used to the cinder running path. He also stated that bicycles could be strip ped so long as the standard size iprocket was retained. AT CRATER LAKE CRATER LAKE. June 35. ISpl.)

(API Tale's oarsmen made a clean sweep o xthe two morning raees of the 77th annual regatta with Harvard today. winning the freshman race by a length and a half and the junior varsity by about three -quarters of a length. The Ells were handed the freshman race, rowed over a two-mile upstream course on the Thames, on a platter, when Harvard caught a "crab" In the final half mile but captured the jayvee race, also at two miles, on their own merits. Yale's Junior varsity spotted Har vard a half length lead In the early stages of their duel, made this up be fore a quarter mile had gone by and won handily. Harvard's sprint finish in the last quarter of a mile served only to cut Yale's winning margin trom nearly two lengths to about three-quarters of a length. The clash of the varsities, scheduled to start at 6:15 pan. (EST), will top off this town's biggest sports program of the year. Scores Yesterday (By the Associated Press.) Coast. R. H. E.

Following next Monday's program, the armory wilt be dark for one week while customers and performers re cuperate from the goings-on. The next card will be staged July 13. Although the Impending battle royal Is expected to provide plenty of entertainment for the addicts. It Is merely a prelude to the actual program. It will take the match making responsibility off LI I lard's shoulders In that the first two men eliminated will return to the battle ground for the opening event of the regular card, the next pair tumbled will meet In the middle squabble, and the final duo of torso twisters will return for the top main event. Last week, in his first appearance here. Prank Stojack displayed some of the' most devastating football maneuvers yet seen. He la a former Washington State college grid star, and has brought to the wrestling ring a spectacular sonnenberg and super-spectacular dropklck, both of which finished off Dale Haddock, meanle from Loa Angeles. Stojack will be one of the favorites In the battle royal. The most spectacular private feud, of several, which will be aired again is that Involving the Black Dragon and Pete Belcastro. Pete surprised all southern Oregon, and perhaps him self, when he knocked the hooded one Into submission last Monday with two terrific hammerlocks, and hun dreds of fans are hoping the two meet again in the main event in ad dition to facing each other In the crowded battle royal.
