Hoffard and Donovan to Reinforce Graters for Crescent Invasion
PACE TEN
HEAVY SLUGGERS
LEAVE HILT FOR
OLD HOI TOWN
Acquisition of Pair Expected
to Give Locals Needed
Punch at Plate Balko
vick Has Injured Knee
Paul ("Hoosler") Hoffard, clout
ing outfielder, and rlfle-ormed Don
ny Donovan today signed to play with
the Medford Craters for the remain-
der of the Southern Oregon league
season. Announcement was made
by Manager Mike Balkovlck. They
will see action for the first time
Sunday when Bedford travel to
Crescent City.
Acquisition of the two performers,
' both powerful hitters, la expected to
provide the ' needed power at tne
' plate that has so far been lacking
In the Crater attack. 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 signing of Horfard and Dono
van will be welcomed by every ball
fan In the city. Hoffard has been a
great favorite here for many years,
and Donovan starred for the locals
two seasons ago. With the Craters'
tenm batting average being only .316
for the first half, the acquisition
of the two heavy stickers la consid
ered a large dose of what the doctor
ordered.

FLUHRER'S MAKE
GRACEFUL BOW TO
PICHE'S PROTEST
8oftbaU's. "feud of the year" be
tween the Commercial league teams
of Plche's hardware and Fluhrer's
bakery ended on a surprisingly quiet
note today as Bill Bowerman, Pluhrcr
manager, graciously retrained from
"protesting" Al Pltche'a protest, and
offered the Plche team the ball game
that Ignited the fireworks.
E. H. Hedrlck, city school superln
tendent to wbom tho game Wednes
day night was protested, ruled that
Plche was the winner by the forfeit
score of 9-0. Hedrlck acted In the
absence of Ruas Acheson, Medford
Softball association manager.
Xn answering, Plche's charges that
Pluhrcr's Imported five Ashland play
ers, Bowerman said that he brought
In the Llthlana to keep Pluhrer'a
team In the league; that he had lost
seven of his original performers be
cause of employment elsewhere, and
that he would continue using the
Ashland playera and forfeiting the
ball games until the second half,
when he would have them all signed
to contracts.
Bowerman'a statement follows: "In
reply to Mr. Plche's charges of
proselyting, I wish to say that my
motive was one primarily of attempt
Ing to fulfill a schedule we would
have otherwlso beon unable to com
plete, as seven of our original ball
playera are now either working or out
of town. I wish to offer Plche's the
ball gamo In true Christmas fashion,
and hope that he will accept In like
manner.
"We will go ahead and complete
our schedule with our present team
consisting of half of Normal school
players, and will of course give relief
to all worthy but unfortunate ball
teams by forfeiting tho games. We
do havo a colorful team as It now
stands, Bnd really expect to give the
hitherto unchallenged Timber Pro
duct an Interesting evening next
Tuesday, and of course, should we
beat them. It will be kings x."
Bowerman also stated that he
would sign Cliff McLean. Indian
catcher of tho Ashland Llthlans, for
the Timber Products game.
The protest was a result of the
game Wednesday evening which
Pluhrcr's beat Plche's, 4-3, with five
Ashland playera In Its lineup.

STOJACK TO FACE
IE
Y
Sans the black mask that has kept
him a mystery during a great local
career, tho hated Black Dragon will
pit his devastating Boston crab hold
against the thundering sonnenberg's
and dropklcks of dynamic Frankle
Stojack next Monday night at the
open-air high school stadium. 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.

FOREST AFFORDS
The following recreational bulletin
waa Issued today by Rogue Btver ni
tlonal forest headquarters;
"Fishing In the Union Creek dis
trict la still good In spite of heavy
use during the last rew days. The
best streams for fishing now are
those not adjacent to the highway
Copeland, Crater, Hurryon and Flat
creek have been fished very heavily
out still furnish gooo. eatchea.
"The Rogue river provides excellent
fishing In those places away from
the highway. Some large trout are
being taken on aplnner and files in
the river between Prospect and Un
ion Creek. Good catches are being
made in the Copco dam, a mile west
of Prospect.
'Good eatchea of trout have been
reported during the past week from
the middle fork and south fork of
the Rogue and Big Butte creek. Most
fishermen have had good luck with
grasshoppers and Royal Coachman
fllea. Big Ben, Sam and Wickiup
creeks should afford good flshlm.
The snow on the trail to Seven Lakes
basin has been melting fast during
the past week. Very good catches
have been reported taken from that
locality with bait, files and spoons.
All the roads and trails are open.
swimming conditions are excellent
along the Big Applegate and at Mc-
K-eo campground, and on Beaver
creek In the new pool at Beaver Sul
phur campground. The Siskiyou loop
road has been opened for several
weeka and offera a good scenic drive
with several campgrounda for pic
nicking. Several short and Interest
ing side trips from the loop road
may be taken to Mt. Ashland lookout,
Dutchman Peak lookout and Parks
Pasture guard station.
"Fish planting la now under way in
many lakes. About 100. 000 silver
sides have been put In Lake o- the
Woods and 60.000 In Four-mile lake
within a week. Work haa begun on
the planting by pack train of 30.000
to 60,000 eastern brook trout In the
Seven Lakes group.
"A lovely scenic drive Is afforded
by the road to Pelican Butte lookout.
On this trip a wonderful view may
be had of the Upper Klamath basin
and the lakes and peaks of the Cas
cade mountains.
"Two 'smoker' fires were discovered
and put out dur.ng the past week
without any material damage being
done. However, had turning condi
tions been worse, both could have
resulted In serious fires. It should
be remembered by everyone that both
smoking while traveling In forest
areas and throwing away of any burn
ing material are in violation of state
and federal laws and that such acts
are a serious menace to private and
public property."
