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.

It will be two of wrestling's most

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.

and will undoubtedly receive a hearty
welcome as he steps In the arena to
face the clean-wrestling Rodriguez.

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.
