Plva Southern Oregon league ball

open fire next Sunday In the first
of the seven-game second-half pen
nant chase, determined to knock the
coast team off the pinnacle and turn
this stretch battle Into one of tho
toughest In years.
However, the great Crescent City
team, with Its amnr.lng pitching
strength and brutal batting power,
la still the outfit to beat.
Teams Bolstered.
All teams but the first half champs
have loaded themselves with added
power for the assault. Ashland has
Southpaw Bob Hardy and Cliff Mc
Lean, the finest battery In the cir
cuit, for the second half, and will
be helped by the return of big Don
Montgomery, slugger de luxe. Rose
burg has added Billy Schemer, .323
hitter last year and property of the
aan Francisco .seals, to Its roster.
He'll play third base. Olendale, with
a new manager in Floyd Clalro, will
present Larry Nunnenkamp, Wil
lamette university star pitcher, and
two other Willamette youths In the
infield. Grants Paas has received
needed hurling strength In Rudy
Heyne, property of the St. Louis
Jttrowna.
Craters HtreiiKtliencri. '
And. here In Mcdford, homo of
the third - place Craters, Manager
Mike Balkovlck will have plenty of
new power to Ignite the drive that
could yank the locals to the top of
the heap. Alvln Merrltt, after a abort
sojourn with Olendale and Hilt, re
turns to help the hurling staff. Russ
Aeheson, a good hitter, will be on
hand for the final blast. Earl Coss
a tiny bundle of outflelding dyna
mite who played last year, la back
from the south ready to fire. And
Donny Donovan, rifle - armed third
baseman, has given tin the Hilt busl
ines and la a candidate for the
crater Infield.
Lineup Undecided. ''
With so much new talent knock
ing the hide off the horsehlde In
batting sessions. Manager Balkovlck
la "up In the air" regarding his
starting lineup and opening pitcher
wnen aranta Pass and the Craters
rip the lid off the second half rag
race on the turf high school field
Sunday. It will probably bo curve
ball Larry Peppor In tiicre against
Heyne, however, as it la his turn
to work, according to Balkovlck'a ro
tation schedule.
Concensus of addicts, so-called ex
perts and players and manaeera
around the loop la to the effect that
next to the first half champions.
Ashland, Olendale and possibly Med
ford have the inside track for the
second half bunting. Roseburg la
eonatdered too weak on the mound,
and Orsnte Pass has still to prove
Its pitching strength, the St. Louis
Browna notwithstanding.

among the all-star "veterans." He
collected three-for-flve In yesterday's
larruping to post a .529 flvo year
mark nnd stand all alone as the all
star nil-star.
Tho only performer who can touch
him in ability In their respective spe
cialties is Lefty Gomez, the Yankees
eccentric southpaw. Lefty pitched
himself thrco Innings of nenr perfect
ball, yesterday, with only one man
reaching base, to take credit for his
third all-star win, thereby earning
the top spot among the pitching aces.
The homer-httttng leadership of
nil-star history goes to Gehrig, with

Billy Hulen Sayi:
Not Good, Not Bad
Present Outlook
For Tiger Talent
Although this current blast of hot-
tlsh weather la far from conducive to
thought of football. Just for a con
trary gestura lets take a gander at
the quantity and quality of pigskin
performers who will report to Montor
Bill Bowerman this fall, and which
he will use to buck that "sudden
death" schedule drawn for him.
From this far-away vantage point,
and strictly unofficial, It appears the
situation could be considerably worse
than It already la. Of course, Coach
Bowerman will have no tackles nor
guards returning and only one ex
perienced center, but the Tlgera seem
well fortified at end and terrifically
powerful In the backfleld.
Fred Stevens will return for action
at the snapper-back position, and Don
Montelth, Don Root and Bob Wilson
will answer the opening practice call
at the ends. Those are the lone re
turning lettermen In the line. Bow
erman saya he will spend plenty of
sleepless nights worrying about the
huge gap left In the center of the
forward wall by the graduation of
four tackles, three guards and one
center, but It is the great array cf
mail-carriers that keeps him from
ending it all thla summer.
Talk about your speedy back
fields; Bobby Ettlnger and Jack
Bon-man, both members or the
track team In the sprints, at the
hall-tarrying left halfback post:
Jack lllll, another fleet-footed
ilali mnn, In the right halfback
slot; and big Eldon Grow, who
will be yanked out of his guard
position and stuck In there at
fullback. And Grow, the Med
ford head man says. Is the fast
est of the lot. And tougher than
all get-out. to boot.
' In the blocking quarterback posi
tion, Bowerman la tentatively fig
uring on Don Root. He says he will
shift him from the line to the back-
field spot because of his great block
ing ability, and because Bill Dickey,
Inexperienced but more willing, will
probably turn Into one sweet end.
That, In short. Is a hasty glance
at the material Bowerman will have
on his hands come next September.
Not too good and not too bad Is
the way the coach describes the situ
ation. Major problem will be the
development of strong tackles, most
vital spot In the tine, and some good
guards; guarda who can block like
the dickens. All told, the Tigers lose
IS lettermen from last year's outfit.
Including four tackles, three guards,
one center, one end, one right half
back, two left halfbacks and one full
back. With Bend, Eugene, Hood River,
Klamath Falls, Ashland and
(Irants Pasa on the schedule, and
all gunning for the local,. Bow
erman doesn't hesitate In stating
he will have to beg, borrow or
steal some power for the middle
of the forward wall to keep from
getting whipped more than once.
In thla modern day of high-pressure,
competitive sports, the cry is for
speed, speed and more speed. In
football, It's your racing backs that
pay off; In baseball your fast-ball
pitcher or dashing base runner; In
tennis the fire-ball service; In golf
the distance you can whack the pel
let, which depends on the speed It
attains when It gets under way. And,
so It goes.
Jesse Owens, when he flew over
100 yards of cinders In 8.4 seconds,
was really traveling, but breaking hla
speed down to miles per hour, the
Negro flash was only making about
30 m.p.h. Equipoise, the great race
horse, covered the mile In 1:34.4, 10
miles an hour faster than Owens
ran.
Now. let's get Into real speed ex
hibitions. A golf ball, for Instance,
can be socked off the tee at the
rate of 120 m.p.h.. by top fllghtera,
Bill Tllden. greatest tennis player
who ever lived, smashed from his
forehand at a speed of 118 miles an
hour. Bob Feller, Cleveland's youth
ful pitcher, fogs his high hard one
over the platter at 130 m.p.h,, and
van Mungo, Brooklyn hurler. delivers
his smoker at approximately the same
rate or speed.
But It remains for Jack Dempsey,
the old Manassa Mauler, to really
show the boys speed. . When Dempsev
clicked them on the button with his
len nook, traveling nine or ten
inches with deadly effect, that fltt
was moving at a speed of ISO miles
an hour, joe Louis, present so-called
heavyweight champion, punches con
siderably slower about 127 m.p.h.,
to be exact.
Gugllelmo Marconi, Inventor of
wireless telegraphy, was born of an
Italian father and Irish mother.
