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

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.

PAIR OF CLEANIES
TO TAKE CHANCES
IN BATTLE ROYAL
The hated Black Dragon, who was
defeated for the first time in the
Medford ring last Monday night by
Pete Belcastro even more hated
will get another crack at the Mad
Italian next Monday In the Bartlett
street barn of brutality when some
1000 pounds of Promoter Mack Lll
Isrd's finest wrestling beef climbs
through the ropes lor what Is called a
battle royal but may turn out to he
a spectacle of mass mayhem.
Those who have been Invited to
take part In the affair are prank le
Taylor, the cleanle; Frankle Stojack,
also a cleanle, and the following very
mean meanles: Monte LaDue, Dale
Hadoek, Belcastro and the Dragon.
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.

regaining the Davis cup, continued
his parade through the all-England
tennis championships today aa he de
feated Ladtslow Hecht of Czecho-Sto-vakla
6-4. 6-2, 6-2 to gain the quarter-final
round.
Frankle Parker, youthful American
tennis star, moved into tho quarter
finals with a straight set victory over
Daniel Prenn of Germany. Scores
were 6-4, 7-5, 6-2.
An unfortunate incident marred the
match. Parker had taken the first
set and Prenn was leading 5-0 In the
second when a young man in the
packed center court, attacked by a fit,
beean loosing unearthly yells.
Prenn appeared to be badly shaken
as a first aid crew removed the strug
gling man, and the German's game
went entirely to pieces. Parker easily
ran up seven straight games. The
American had a bad fall In the 12th
game.
