Manager uai klvlck. highly pleaaed with the deal ' said that Hoffard and Donovan would nrobablv bat Medford right Into the second-half championship. Both to Field Hoffard. southern Oregon's beat known ball player, will be stationed In right field, and Donovan, a third baseman by trade, will be transfer red to left field, Balkovlck said With the great fielding Dick Sak- ralda In center, Medford should boast the finest outfield In the cir cuit. Lyle Russell, great young pros pect, will be held In reserve. Both Hoffard and Donovan have been playing with Hilt In the North ern California league, where they were extremely bad news to oppos - Ing pitchers. They played their final game with the California club last Sunday, Hoffard, known as southern Ore gon's "grand old man." Is the heavl ' eat hitter to ever perform on a local diamond. Batting from the left side of the plate. Hooeler whams them on the nose, getting tremendous dis tance from a pair of powerful shoul ders. He also patrols the outfield In no uncertain fashion. Donovan played the first of the season with Medford, then Jumped to Hilt, and now returns. He la also a powerful hitter, clouting from the right side of the platter, and pos sesses one of the strongest throwing arms ever seen locally. With Duke Hanklnson going In great style at the hot corner, Manaker Balkovlck will shift Donovan to the outfield, , where he has had some experience. Crlckson to Hurl The Medford skipper also an nounced that Ray Erlckson would probably open on the mound against Crescent City's Lefty Koll. Crescent City won the first-half pennant without the loss of a game, and Manager Balkovlck figures the bat tle, Sunday will be the Craters tough est of the year. Because of a knee Injury, Balko Tick may not do the receiving, he asld. An old football hurt was ag gravated last Sunday against Grants Pass, and the head man stated he may start Johnny Smith back of the plate.

The two grapplera win meet In the main event. Promoter Mack Lillard has slated Prank Clemens, the Indian "wonder boy with the spectacular paralyzer hold, and Jack La Rue, last Monday's referee, for the middle event; and Dale Haddock, Los Angeles ruffian, and Carlos Rodriguez of Mexico City, tor tne opener. LaRue and Rodriguez will be mak ing their Initial wrestling appearances before a local crowd of addicts. The former, hailing from Kansas city, Kan., acted aa third man In tho ring last Monday, and turned In a good performance. Lillard states that La Ruo Is exceptionally fast, but dirty and rough. Rodriguez will make his northwest debut against Haddock. He la fast and clean, according to porta. The top event will mark the first time the Dragon and Stojack have ever tangled in Medford. Despised bitterly while he was. knocking off one grappler after another since the first of the year, the Dragon actual ly drew cheers last Monday when he ripped off his mask and clouted Pete Beleastro Into aubmisslon. Fan-reaction to the unmasked wrestler from now on Is ot-uslng grapple circles to buzz with excitement; consensus be ing that he will probably be a big favorite with the customers, at least when he la against a villain. Stojack. former Washington State football luminary, asked Promoter Lll lrd for the Dragon match. He sin cerely believes he can whip tho no longer hooded demon, and Monday he will have his chance.
