M-1S0 DRAGON JOBS NEEDED EOR CRATER PLAYERS; ON COAST TODAY Wanted: Three Jobs for three ex ti finely valuable baseball players or the Medford Craters, who are right now in the midst of a tough stretch battle for the Southern Oregon league pennant. Although this Is not the classified ad page, rules are broken to bring the plea before the eyes of Med ford's baseball fans, who have proved their loyalty by making this village the best-drawing In the circuit, and who are pulling heart and soul for big Mike Balkovlck and his ball club to bring the second-half bunting to Med lord. The players acutely In need of em ployment are Duke Hankinson, the University of Oregon student who handles the hot corner in sweet style; Donny Donovan, rt He-armed outfielder, and Alvln Merrltt, former Junior American Legion hurler. And, they are not particular as to the type of employment. Anything that will return enough to keep them In Med ford for the remainder of the sea son, which has five weeks to go, will be more than welcomed, says Manager Mtk Balkovlck, speaking for the trio. Hankinson, arriving here with Bob Smith when school was out at Eugene this spring, has been living entirely on his own money. He hasn't received payment for his playing nor haa he been able to locate a Job. He said yesterday that It would be impossible for him to remain In Medford any longer If he didn't get work. The same Is true of Donovan and Merrltt. Ball players have to eat, and If they can't get Jobs in Med ford, a city of 13.000. they will be forced to locate where they can, it la explained. Any of the boya will be glad to in terview anyone who might have a Job for them, and they wish it em phasized that they are not "choosy" what they do. so long ss It will en able them to stay In Medford and help the Craters win the second-half championship, of which they are fig ured to have an excellent chance. Today, the club travels to Crescent City for a crack at the first-half champs. Ray Erlckson will do the hurling against Mike Koll, Chinook's brilliant lefthander.
