Aah land's Lithians won the flrat of a two-gomo holiday acrles between the bitter Jackaon county ritals at Ash land yeaterday, 18-2. The two cluba play again today at 3:30. The brilliant pitching of Southpaw Bob Hardy of the Lithians was the one redoemlng feature In a game that snveral times threatened to get out of the hands of the badly abused umpires. The youthful portslder fog ged bis fast ball and extra sharp curve past IS bewildered Medfordltca lor strikeouts and allowed only four hlto. For al Innings, the Craters went hltless. lilt Crater llurlers While Hardy was getting sweet re venge for the beating he suffered here June 20. his teammates were clouting Larry Pepper, Medford' starting pitcher, and Alvln Merrltt, who went In In the seventh, for 15 solid smacka Including six doubles and ono home run. Hardy, himself, blasted the four-bagger, a terrific drive over Russell's head In right field In the fourth Inning with one men on. Larry Pepper, victor over Hsrdy the last time the two cluba met, was not so tough yesterday. He gave up 11 hlU In his six plus Innings of toll and tho same number of runs, but six bad errors behind him and shabby defonalve work In general didn't help any. Modford's two runs came In the aocond and seventh Innings. In the second, Duke Hanklnson walked, stole second, and crossed the platter on two wild pitches. Wally Rlckert ham mered a home run Into right field In the seventh with the bases empty for the other Crater tally. In the eighth Dick Lewis singled to left and John Smith beat out a acratcher to ahort but run-getting punch was lacking. Errors Aid Scoring The Lithians scored thrice In the first Inning on errors by Dick Sakral da and Lylc Russell, a hlt-batsman. McLean's single to right, and Darrell Leaven's squcero bunt. Hardy hit his hwier In the fourth, and tho ram paging Lithians sdded three more tallies In the fifth on Ager's single to left, an error by Dick Lewis, Leavens' single, a fielders choice and passed ball by Rudock. Pepper was shelled to tho showers In the seventh after Ager, McLean and Patterson had hit two-baggers, and Leavens had singled. Alvln Mer rltt took over the Crater hurling duties and retired the side with no more rtina, but was hit hard In the eighth. Riley, Hardy and McLean got singles, Leavena smashed a double and Lewis committed another error for five rune. That ended the scor ing, but It was more than enough. Ager, Leavens and McLean all rap ped three hits for the Lithians, two of Ager's being doubles over the left field leuce. Many Mqiinhhles Players of both clubs squabbled with the umplrea and with each other all day long, several tlmea minor riots were threatened as players push ed the arbiters around, and there was a short flurry of flying flats on the Ashland bench between a player and celebrating spectnlor.

FELLER'S FLIPPER E (By Associated Presa) It was a glorious Fourth for a lot of baseball folks, particularly those sporting Uniforms of the New York Yankees end Chicago Cubs, but you'd have to look a long way today to find a happier lad than Master Rob ert Feller.

They did everything but write songs about that fnat ball of hla before the campaign atarted. but his arm went sour his first time out. and he's been on the shelf ever since. Although he lost a 3-3 decision to the Tigers yeaterday, his arm stood the test like Glenn Cunning ham's mile record. In lour Innings, he fanned four batsmen and gener aly had thlnga In hand. In the fourth, he mnde a wild peg to third thnt set the stage for the only hit off him. Pete Fox'a single, which produced two of the three Tiger tal lica. Despite the victory, the Tigers dropped to fourth place In the American league, elnra the surging Boston Red Sox socked the Phila delphia Athletics twice, 7-0 and 4-3, to Jump Into third.
