Larry Pepper will definitely take the mound for Med fords Craters against the Grants Pass Merchants Sunday at the turf high school field In the opening game of the second half Southern Oregon league base ball schedule. ' After being coaxed, cuased, soft soaped and even threatened with dire consequences should he refuse to divulge the name of the gentle man who will do the Crater fogging In this vitally Important battle, big Mike Balkovlck, Medford manager, finally folded up and named the youthful curveballer. Irrevocably, to the starting role.

However, Napoleon waa an odds on favorite at Waterloo, says Man ager Balkovlck. In effect, and look what happened. The usually silent skipper startled the writer with an actual prediction, and with a mini mum of -"Ifs." "We'll win the second half pen nant," big Mike stated, 'If we get aomo hitting strength. With Alvln Merrltt, Ray Erlckson and Pepper, we have aa good a pitching ataff as any club In the league. What we need Is punch at. the plate. If the boys begin hitting, we will be the team to beot." There will probably be little change In the lineup that has been alter nately hot and cold all season, the head man atated. Earl Coss, tiny outfleldlng flash, might break In, he said, but otherwlso the club will spread out in the usual fashion. Bob Smith will be on first. Rlckert on second.
