HARDY HANDCUFFS
MEDFORD OUTFIT;
Lithians Reap Fifteen Hits
Off Crater Moundmen
Largest Crowd in Many
Years Witnesses Debacle
Marred by continual bickering with
the. umplrea and sloppy fielding on
the part of the Medford Craters. 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.
Master Robert was like a kid with
his first firecracker, ell because that
mysterious sslary wthg of his appar
ently has stopped acting up, and Is
now ready to take a regular pitching
turn for tho Cleveland Indians.
If tradition holds good the Yanks
and Cubs, leading In the pennant
parade on the July 4 deadline, will
be fighting It out In next fall's
world series. Now all they have to
do Is stay In the driver's sent until
October 3.
To Feller this July 4 goee down In
tho book as a red letter dny. Most
publicized youngster of the yesr. he
haa been the aeason'a biggest bust
to date. 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.
