PXGE ten SIEDFORP "MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1937, BALK0V1CK EYES HUGHES, PEPPER FOR MOUND CALL Speed Artist or Curve Spec ialist Due for Start in Sunday's Clash With Ashland League Leaders .! Huehea or Larry Pepper." That, Med ford basebsll fan. la Manager Mike Bslkovlck's lengthy answer aa to which of Jour Crater hurlers will be out there on the pitch ing rubber Sunday afternoon at the turf high school field when Aahland'a rampaging Llthlsns move Into town for the battle tnat meant tne uu dlsputed Southern Oregon league top anot and the Inside track toward the second-hull pennant and right to sieet Croscent City for the cnsmpion bin. "Ivan Harrington, who ahould know, says that Hughes has as much atuff on that ball aa ever," bsikovick atated. "Pepper has a sore hand, his fielding hand, and I may start Hugres. Anyway, It will be one or the other." And so. It will be either Jack Hughea. big and atrong and with a tremendoua amount of apeed, or Lar- ry Pepper, ha of the magnificent curve, who will be on the Meorora hurling rubber Sunday as Southpaw Bob Hardy of the Ashlsnds attempts to avenge that 3-4 defeat handed hirn by the craters June 30, the only loss he has suffered all year. Hughea Has Stuff Hughes, who several years ago was slated to make quite a mark In base ball, has bsen working out dally with his old catcher, Ivan Harring . ton, and, according to the latter, has lost none of his stuff. He still has that blazing speed, Harrington aays. However, local baseblll phllbers sre betting that It will be Pepper who will be In there when the firing tarts, mainly because he has won all four of Med ford 'a league games so far, and because Hughes, Idle for two years. Is still an unknown quan tity so far as actual competition goes this sesson. Tied for the lesgue lead, Medford and Ashland will unllmber all their guns Sunday In an attempt to climb Into the second-half drlver'a seat. It will be the third and deciding en counter In the three-game league se ries between the two cujbs and will settle, once and for an, which Is the better ball team. Hardy for Ashland Bob Hardy, who has won five and lost one game, la a cmch stsrter for the Llthlana. The brilliant southpaw has pitched his team to three straight seoond-hsu victories and Is figured as the best hurler In the league by far Medford whipped him once, however, and the locale believe It can be dons agsln. From past performances, the Cra ters are strictly a home-field ball club. In fact, they have yet to lose a game on the green turf of the high school field; all four league victories that have been marked In the score book were garnered at the local park. That jinx on the visiting team, while rather Intangible, Is nevertheless causing plenty of confidence among fans and players alike, who realise that on paper Ashland ahould . be rated a healthy favorite to defeat the Craters. Consensus Is that If Med ford performs Sunday like It haa In tha past, the losguelead will awing undlsputedly to this city. Craters In Top Form Rousing workouts havs bsen the Craters' lot every afternoon this week, and Manager Balkovlck claims the club la In almost perfect condi tion for its "big" game of the year. Russ Achrson, rlfls-srmed catcher, win probably do tha receiving, al though Harrington may start bsck of the plate If Hughea opens on the mound. Balkovlck Injured leg will not stand ths action. Remainder of the team will be the same aa usual, with Bob Smith on first. Wally Rick ert on second, Dick Lewis on short, snd Duke Hanklnson at the hot cor ner. In the outfield, Dick Bakralda In center will be flanked by Paul ("Hoosler") Hotfard In right and Donny Donovan In left. The year's Isrgest crowd Is expected for the game. A loud speaker system will be operated by Verne Shangle, keeping fane Informed of all action on the field. Opening pitch la slated for 3:30 sharp. Last Yankee Out Of Canadian Play OTTAWA, July 30.

PURUCKER Phone 458 TO It will be two of wrestling's most painful snd effective maneuvers on display next Mondoy night when Prankle Clemens, the Oklahoma In dian with the sensational paralyzer. meets the Black Dragon, master .of the Boston crab. The match Is billed for the top main event of Promoter Mack Llllard'a weekly grapple show at the open-air high school at dlum. It seems like the Black Dragon is alwaya getting Involved In revenge squabbles, and Monday night will be no eiceptlon. Last Tuesday evening Klamath Fal'r Clemens and the Black One staged a madhouse brawl that ended when the colorful red man clamped on his famous neck number. A matter of $100 mas up on the match, with the loser to contribute that amount to charity. The Dragon lost and payed off, but needless to say, it didn't produce a kind feeling In the meanle'a heart for Mr. Clemens. All his efforts Mon day night, Mr. Dragon says, will be bent toward eliminating Clemens from the local grappling picture. The Sammy Kohen-Jack LaRue middle tangle will see two of the best wrestlers, also the dirtiest, meet In what Is expected to be an other one of those things. Neither has any regard for the so-called rules of the game and neither can understand how the other has a chance to cop the nod. Danny Savlch, the sonnenberglng. dropklcklng former University of Utah football star, returns after an extended campaign In other pastures to meet Carlos Rodriguez, the Mex ican "hot tamale," In the opening event. Savlch Is one of the most popular workers to ever appear here, and will undoubtedly receive a hearty welcome as he steps In the arena to face the clean-wrestling Rodriguez.

B over moo Si Warm Air Conditionine; Furnace : 1 r . .. ,....., i Sport Graphs ass Billy Hulen Sayi: Old-Timers Team Wanted for Clash With Crater Nine Members of the St, Loula Browns of 1923, the year that usually down trodden club lost ths American lesgue pennsnt by Just one game to the Yankees, gathered In the Mound City early this month In ona of those gala reunions that furnish just about the only tangible return to the game most old-timers ever experience. Ken Williams, at present a policeman in Orants Pass, traveled over 3000 miles to attend the party, and from all over the nstlon came gallant old players to once more pick-up a war club and toke their cuts. Feature of the get-together was a three-lnnlng game with the present edition of the Browns, staged before a regular American league battle. Of course the current Browns won, even though they pulled their punches, walked off with the verdict. But that didn't matter. The oldsters hsd enelr fun by merely troddlng Sports man park'a greensward again, and the largeat crowd of the year shouted Itself hoarse aa the heroes of yester day cavorted around like a bunch of rookies. It's a great angle, giving those old-timers ,thelr Innings again. We note from many publications that In all parts or the country similar games are being arranged ; bringing together once more the stars of the past, getting them out under the hot sun and cheer ing them as they try to make monkey shines out of the present day crop of national pastlmers. So, why not Jump In line, Medford. Why not ring the bell for those ad mired playera of the past, who once scampered over southern Oregon dia monds? Why not line up a team ol those former greats who still Insist baseball as played 30 and more years sgo wss baseball aa It ahould be played. Match them In an exhibition game of three Innings, say, with Mike Baikovlck'e Medford Craters. Play the game preceding a Southern Ore gon league encounter and try to keep the crowd away. We are not verv nr.ll imminuri with atars of the past In Medford, out we n wager that a pretty neat ball club could be Droduced. mi. that would make up In color and the recall of fond memory far more than It lacked In ability after all these years. Perhaps, even, It wouldn't be any on that Utter point. With the help of Scoop Puhl, him seir a former sounnpaw pitcher of no mean ability and who first broached the Idea of the game, we present a list of ex-lumlnarles who should be able to offer this present Crater club all It aska for. First, for manager. we would name two Kort Hall and Owney Patton. With those two old timers master minding out there, Manager Balkovlck of the Craters would be up against a plenty tough preposition If It came to a battle of wits. Bill Mclntyre or Pat Foley would do as pitchers: both could take a whirl at curving them past Crater hitters, each working about one and a half Innings. Bill Force, who used to belt them far and wide for the BOAS, would look great behind the bat. Bill can still throw, but he has trouble lifting them up and laying them down with any great amount or dispatch. Anyway, when Bill got on first base, they could put In a runner for him If he would let them. At the vitally Important shortstop post, Managers Ball and Patton could use Shorty Miles. Tom Roseberry. Scoop tells us, was once one of the beat Inflelders who ever started a double play hereabouts. That about ends the placing of these "ghost" players: we'll turn the remainder of the Job over to Hall and Patton. However, here are some other old klda who have probably been champ ing at the bit for many years, and who would look right well In the "team of the past" Walt Antle, John Wilkinson, ramous as a tremendous slugger or the Babe Ruth type; Ted Hill, Gordon Stout, Pug Isaaca, and Mark Patton, son of Owney and a husky fellow, Indeed. The above named national pastlm ers, with ths exception or BUI Force and .Pat Foley, who are more recent performers, burned up the local league some 30 years sgo. It would be a great sight to watch them fn action again, and there might be a lew surprises In store; some or the so-called old-tlmera might not be so snclent and decrepit as Imagined. Bud Conlln lli.t. rirnnnwl fn SURKested a counle of mm "twi who would probably be right In there iu at, uic-ir giory. xney axe ward Spatz, who used to gleam on the-diamond or Nebraska, and Olck Smith, an ex-local player. Conlln also pointed out that It' would be quite an affair If tha Inm! nlri.tlmaM do battle with a like outfit from u rants pass, headed by Jud Petnoll or Kenny Williams. Right, Bud. anyway, now aoout Kort Hall and Owney Patton getting together and lining out their ball club. There Would undoubtedlv h lltt.u tmiihi.
