Of Season.
It'" Ashland versus Medford this
afternoon at the high school field
for the undisputed leadership of
the Southern Oregon league, open
ing Ditch Is slated for 3:30 sharp.
Brilliant Bob Hardy, with five
wins and one loss to hi credit, will
be on the mound for Ashland'a
blazing Lithiam. while young Larry
Pepper, who has copped lour en
counters and lost a pslr. will be
fogging hie , huge curve . bsll pver
the plstter for Medford'e craters.
Manager Mike Balkovlck of the
locals definitely decided to start
Pepper In the box following yes
terday's hustling workout. Jack
Hughes, who has come a long wsy
Since three years ago when ' he last
performed, will be held In reserve.
Possessor . of a roaring high hard
one, Hughes will see action only In
a relief role. Balkovlck stated. If
Pepper gets In hot water, Hughes
will take over.
It's the Southern Oregon league'a
first crucial game of the second
half pennant race. Both clubs are
undefeated, and the winner today
Is figured to have the Inside track
toward the aecond-half bunting and
track at Crescent City for the cham
pionship. It Is also the third and
deciding battle between Jackson
county's two bitter rivals, Each
team has won one game from the
other, and each Is fired to a fight
ing frsme of mind for the "big"
fame of the year: the game that
may mean, in the long run, the
league championship. .
Although never defeated on Its
home turf, Medford will enter the
gam the underdog to an Ashland
club that has belted Its way to
three straight second-half victorias.
Rather quiet the first hstf, Ashland
big guns have roared continually
since the second-half started. Leon
ard Patterson, lanky first eacker, la
batting .873 to head the Llthlan
"murderer's row." Ted Sohopf, short
atop, has an average of Ml, and
Cliff (Chief) McLean, Indian catch
er, la hammering the apple for a
,883 average, Instead of 300 as er
roneously released In the league bat
ting averages. Darren Leavens, out
fielder, completes the list of Llth
lan sluggers who are clouting In
the charmed .800 circle, He la hit
ting sie.
For . Med ford 'a fighting Craters.
Bob Bmlth la batting 391 from the
south aide of the plate to lead hla
teammates. Dick Lewis, shortstop,
boaata a mark of Ala, and that
ends the list of Medfordltes over
300. However, Psul (Hooslsr) Hof
fsrd and Donny Donovan, who have
played only twice for the locale,
are both powerful hitters, and Med
ford la expected to present almost
as heavy a clouting team aa 'the
Llthtans.
Today will also wind up the sen
sational hurling feud of Hardy and
Pepper. June 30, Medford's curve
bsll ace defeated the Ashlsnd south
paw, 4-9, In one of the finest gamea
ever seen locally. July 4, Hardy got
aweet revenge with a 16-3 verdict
In an exhibition game. Today, both
pitchers, considered the most pro
mising In the circuit, will shoot
the works In this rubber battle.
Manager Mike Balkovlck announc
ed his batting order yesterday, and
from beginning to end, It looks like
' the aweeteat that haa Journeyed to
the plate this year. Dick Lewla will
lead off, Wally Rickert will hit sec
ond, Hooeler Hoffard will be In his
eld third spot, and Duke Hanklnson
will take care of the clean-up posi
tion. Donovan will hit In fifth
place, Bob Smith will clout alxth.
Dick Sakralda will be In seventn,
and the battery will follow. Ruts
Acheeon. he of the powerful throw
ing arm, will be behind the plate
to receive Poppor'a dlpsy-do delivery.
Tn case Jack Hughes goes to the
mound, Ivsn Harrington, tiny pep
per pot, will do the catching.
A capacity crowd Is expected for
the "leadership" battle. Hundreds of
Ashlsnd addicts are planning to at
tend. A loud-speaker system under
the operation of Verne Bhangle will
keep fans Informed as to the game'a
progress.

NEWPORT, R. I., July 81. It
was Ranger by the proverbltl mile to
day, and Just about double that dis
tance by the nautical measurement
as the first race for the America's
cup e unexpectedly assumed all 'the
proportions of a seagoing rout for
Thomas O. M. Sop with' Endeavor
2nd, sixteenth challenger for the clas
sic emblem of international yachting
supremacy.
The snub-nosed whltehulled Amer
ican defender, Ranger, sailed with
characteristic and consummate skill
by Harold Stirling (Kike) Vanderbllt,
led all the way In light streaky
breeze over a 30-tnlle ocean court,
fifteen miles to windward and return.
She came home In solitary splendor,
her huge spinnaker billowing against
a faggy background and her British
rival go far astern she waa scarcely
dlacernable In the rapidly settling
mifct of as dismal a finish as the big
yacht race have ever witnessed.
Victor by the overwhelming margin
of 17 minutes, 8 seconds, Ranger and
Vanderbllt established their com
bined supremacy, for the time being,
by handing the challenger the worst
shellacking In the past half century
of America's cup history.
Ranger negotiated the course In 4
hours, 41 minutes, 18 seconds. The
Challenger, approximately two miles
behind after a final and futile hunt
for more wind, waa timed tn 4:88:20.
Back In 1930, Sir Thomas Upton's
Fourth Shamrock lost the fifth and
final race to Resolute by a margin of
19 minutes, 48 seconds on corrected
tlme, but the actual elapsed time be
tween the boats at the finish wa
only a little over 13 minutes.
Not since the Defender, volunteer,
whipped the - Scottish challenger.
Thistle, by 19 minutes, 33.78 seconds,
in the first race of the 1887 series
has any contender for the cup been
so badly beaten as was Sopwlth's
sloop today. In a race where both
boats crossed the finish line.

Frank le Clemen, Oklahoma's in
dian "wonder boy," will put his un
defeated status to tbe acid test to
morrow night at tbe open-air high
school arena when he faces tbe hated
and horrible Black Dragon, no longer
masked but more brutal than ever,
if possible. The two will unllmber
against each other In tbe main event
of Promoter Mack Ullard's weekly
grappling card under the stars.
Jack laBue and Sammy Kohen. two
good grapplers when tvhey want to be
but both desiring to Indulge in mean
le tactics, will meet in tbe middle
event, and Danny Savlch returns to
face Carlos Rodriguez, the "hot ta
male," In the opener.
-- By vtrture of his devastating In
dian paralyser, a maneuver that
should be rated as wrestling's most
potent knock-out drop, Clemens has
knocked off three straight opponents
since coming here three weeks ago
and each ot them, after one dose of
tbe hold, has been utterly unable to
continue. None however, has been
as tough as the Dragon will undoubt
edly turn out to be. And, while Clem
ens Is attempting to finish things
with his pet bold, tbe Black One will
be countering with his own favorite
maneuver the Boston crab. Effect
iveness of tbe crab, aa manipulated
by the Dragon, Is proved by the great
record that gentleman haa .produced
since the first of the year.
Tbe middle ' event featuring Jack
LaRue and Sammy Kohen should be
nothing short of legalized mayhem.
Both are masters of many legitimate
holds which they use after battering
their opponent Into states of help
lessness. Danny Savlch. ex-Unlveralty of Utah

Rodrlguea. of Mexico City, will open
