Billy Hulen Says: Proud Parents To Eye Drill of Baseball Pupils It Is almost unbelievable, the en thusiasm fhown by some half a hun dred kids who each morning attend the baseball school at the high school turf field. Under the coaching of big Mlko BaJkovlck, youngsters rang ing In age from 6 to 13 years, are quickly and surely going off the deep end for the natlonul pastime. That baseball school, started last year by the Medford Athletic associ ation and porpetuated this aummer by the same body and K. H.

Jlnv my la 6 feet, 10 Inches In height and weighs 18A pounds, admirably pro portioned, and appearing from all an gles not unlike an all-Amerlcan half back. "IS 1 bad the designing of my own anatomy," said Horton recently I think I'd make some radical altera tions, with golf in mind. I'm tat) and rangy, and I've bad to work over my game a lot and try to develop it to suit the string-bean construction For pupils of something like that build. I'd suggest concentration on the bands, arms and shoulders, rather minimizing and reducing action be low the waist Into a sort of mild ac commodating movement. The abort! you are for example, on tbe order of Bobby Crulckshank the more need you have for a free and full oody tum. or pivot, and plenty of action In the legs and hips. "Jimmy Thompson Is Just about right, to my way of thinking. He Is built easily to achieve, and does achieve, a free, full swing In the big shots without the exaggeration of any portion of the swing. HW amazing distance thus comes natur ally: he can lay into the ball whole heartedly, without bothering about some specially emphasized factor get ting out of control."

Medford's Craters, who still have a fighting chance at the second-halt Southern Oregon league pennant, will present a slightly patched lineup when they face off against Roseburg here next Sunday. The third base slot of Duke Hanklnson, who return ed to Eugene early this week, will be filled by Oonny Donovan. Dono van, one of the classiest third sacker ever seen locally, has been holding down left field. In Donny's outfield berth will be Alvln Merrltt. Managir Balkovlck eoys. Merrlt Is a pitcher, one of four the Craiers now boatK, but Is also a good hitter. Balkovlck said that either Ray Erlckson or Jack Hughes would open on the mound against the cellarlte Plratea. Bob Hardy, star Athland southpaw received another Pacific Coast league offer the other dsy this time from the San Francisco Seals. Charles H Oraham, president of the club, wrote the lanky lefthander, and offered him a tryout with the Seals Immediately. Hardy, however, la hanging tough on the "education first" business, so Gran am 'n overture went for naught. Seattle, Portland, the St. Louis Browne and several other outfits have at tempted to change Hardy's mind, but it's no use. The lefthander is going to finish up at dear old Oregon, and that's that. Some think Hardy Is wise, some don't. A college diploma Is nice, but you can t eat It. You can survive nicely, however, on the wad of doutfh they pay southpaw pitchers these days. Nlco bonuses are also not un known Just for signing up. Prankle Clemens will meet Sammy Kohen. the New York City Jew.

Central 11 NEW YORK, Aug. 6, (AP) The varied destinies of the cauliflower Industry passed today from the grip of Madison Square Garden which had held them since the reign of Tex Rtckard. to Mike Jacobs, the man who paraded a, brown bomber and punch Into the dictatorship of tbe fight game. Jacobs. In leasing for two seasons the garden and Its outdoor arena, the big bowl In Long Island City, as sumed Rickard'a old post as the fight game's No. I promoter. He plans In door boxing shows for the garden this winter and next and outdoor New York, a bout wltb Paulino Uzcu- Jacobs, a ticket-broker, learned the devious business- methods of the fight game as Rlckard's partner In the halcyon days of the million dollar gates and the 600 millionaires. When Rlckard died Jacobs went back to a boom I ng brokers ge bus! ness and others tried to fill Rlckard's shoes. One of them waa Jimmy Johnston, who, as matchmaker for the garden. Is now a man without a Job. Many believe Johnston, an astute promoter In his own right, will join Jacobs. He Joined Mike once before In promoting Joe Louis' first Indoor appearance in New York, a bout with Paulino Zzcu dun. The shift In power from the gar den to Jacobs shows once more that the man who controls the heavy weight title, by far the richest In the Industry, controls big time boxing. Jacobs picked up Louis when the bomber was almost unknown and brought him east for his first big fight against Prlmo Camera. Since then he has sent the champion against Baer, Schmellng. Braddock and others. With the exception of me ocnmeiing bout, Mike's meal ticket has been a winner. Always Louis has made money. 1 Louis Philippe, ruler of Prance from 1830-48, was known as the Citizen King, A PRICE - SMASHING SALE OF 22 a 6 .273 I F3fc. s ;,:s:J fSSa - & AV .
