(API- Best guess is that T. O. M. Sopwlth will be back with another challenge for America's cup within two years. He won't commit himself now but once the cup "bug" has bitten a yachtsman he's difficult to discour age. It doesn't seem to make much difference whether they win or lose. Sir Thomas Linton oouldnt win and Harold S. Vanderbllt can't lose, It seems, but they sppsrently found It equally as fascinating as It Is ex pensive. Ranger didn't set sll the records at this yesr's seagoing eolree. New highs In editorial fantasy came close to causing soms International Inci dents. Sopwlth felt keenly he was subjected to unjust flights ot criti cism by rail birds, but refused to "squawk" public,. Aside from that sltpup on the last start, Sopwlth and hla crew made fewer and less con spicuous mistakes than Skipper "Mike" Vanderbllt. But Ranger was the better boat and had the better sailing equipment. Sopwlth carried oanvae wardrobe worth 110.000 but didn't always have the right sail for the right moment.

L. Pet. Ashland .. 4 1.000 Crescent City Grants Pass Medford a 2 1 .667 JS00 .600 .333 .000 Glendale 1 Roseburg - , 0 Game Next Sunday Roseburg at Medford. Grants Pass at Ashland. Crescent City at Glendale. Still with a fighting chance at the second-half pennant of the Southern Oregon league, Medford 's Craters face the cellarlte Roseburg Pirates here Sunday afternoon at the turf high school field. Opening pitch is slated for 3:30 sharp. Manager Mike Balkovick said today that either Ray Erickson or Jack Hughes would open on the slab for the Craters. Manager George Barr of the Pirates will probably do the Roseburg pitching. A big righthand er, Barr has plenty on the ball and, but for Infield errors last Sunday at Crescent City, would have upset the first-half winners. As It was, Cres cent City only copped by an 8-7 score. Hughes, who had played no ball for two years until the Olendale game two weeks ago, has been working out dally, and believes he Is fit to see starting service. Last Sunday he hurled great ball against ABhland aftor one bad Inning, and Balkovick has a lot of confidence in the husky star-boarder. If Hughes does not start the battle, Ray -.rtckson, another righthander, win answer the opening gong. Un beatable for six Innings, Erickson may open the game, with Hughes taking over in the latter stages. Although deeply burled In the cir cuit cellar, the Pirates are not fool ing Balkovick and the Craters one little bit. Last Sunday's game with Crescent City was a perfect example of the hard luck that has been hounding the Buccaneers since the second-half got under way, and the locals are fully aware that the Jinx is oouna io do broken some time. It will be a tough encounter, maybe one of Medford 's toughest. Because of that, the Craters have undergone strenuous wortcouts dally, and are re ported In fine shape for the game. Donny Donovan will be at third base and Alvln Merrltt In left field for the only changes in the regular Crater lineup. Donovan was shifted to the iot corner when Duke Han klnson returned to Eugene early this week. Merrltt, a pitcher but a good hitter, was assigned to the left field berth. Rubs Acheson will do the catching, Bob 8mlth will be on first, Rlckert on second, Lewis at short, Sakralda In center field and Hoosler Hoffard In right. SEEK NEW GLORY NEW YORK.

"I'm 30 now, getting to be an old lady. I don't know anything sadder than seeing an ex-ethlete trying to make a come-back. Besides that, the swim ming records they're hanging up now make some of my old marks look silly. "There's only one of my old marks that's still standing. Nobody's evor come closer than eight seconds of the unofficial time I set In the 300 meter swim." She didn't even mention the fact that her crossing of the ' English channel In 14 hours, 31 minutes still Is the record for women. She didn't mention how she staggered upright the sands of prance with the grease which had been her protection from the cold washed from her body. She was Just an exhausted 19-year old girl then with the whole world praising her as one of the greatest athletes of all time. Now she Is happy In a little home. even though It's a long way to the nearest glimpse of water. "What do I care?" said Trudy.

Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Sayi: Shorter Pitching Fails to Curb Softball Sluggers When the Medford Softball asso ciation changed the pitching dis tance from 40 to 37 feet at the start of the second-half schedule over a week ago, the move was sup posed to eliminate the wild -eyed, slugging affairs that had taken place under the stars at the high school field. It was regarded as a smart maneuver by all and sundry. Includ ing yours truly, who figured that It would swing the balance of power to the defense. It was believed that from then on, fans would witness brilliant, air-tight pitchers' battles, something that had been as scarce as clouts over the distant fence. To date, and after a thorough trial of the decreased hurling distance, about the only differ ence noticed has been higher scoring games than ever berore. Where batters previously had merely dug In and swung tor the fence, they now dig trenches at the plate and level for the Talent t-lty limits. While nobody has as yet attained that distance with the over-grown baseball, the fences have taken an awful beating. In fielders have taken their life In their hands and scorekeepers have suffered from writers cramp more than ever before. The other night somebody beat somebody else. 33-3. Night before last, somebody else licked somebody else, 30-3. There have been several battles with over 20 tallies chased across, and the batters, In general. have been going slug-nutty. Realiz ing that something has got to be done about this here situation. E H. Hedrlck has made plans to do It Not this year. It's too late now, but next season will fans be able to witness tighter softball affairs. Hedrlrk's plan, and a mighty good one. Is simply that he will hire a top-notch pitcher early in the spring to come to Medford and Impart the low down on this business of fogging under handed deliveries past the oovs who swing from the carpet. In other word, the city school superintendent plans to open up a softball pitchers' school, de velop some talented hurlers for the local situation, and turn them loose on the scores of heavy clubbers. The Idea should do the Job. It's apparent there aren't enough good pitchers in the local circuit to go the rounds. In the 10-team Com- merclal league, we would say there are only four, at the outside, who can be classed as classy, That leaves the other six clubs at a decided dis advantage, and results In slam-bang affairs that leave a bad taste in the mouths of spectators and players alike. Of course, many customers like free-hitting encounters, and all like to see some action out there. But these absurdities, like 33-3 and 30-3 are more than the most rabid fan can swallow. The pitchers school Hedrlck has In mind will be free to all local burlers who care to attend. It will last about two weeks, according to tentative plans, and will embrace alt angles or the throwing business. Not Just a good pitcher will be hired. Hedrlck says, but a real, honest-to-good ness star from Port land, Salem. Seattle or some other city where the game has been played seriously for years. Cuff Scrtbbllngs : Joe DiMagglo. sensational New York Yankee out fielder who seems to be flirting with Babe Ruth's home run record or SO, clouted in 1927, will tie or break It in thib department's opinion when the Bambino was belting round -trippers, he was also drawing more bases on balls than any player In history pitchers, afraid of htm with men on, took the easy way out and passed him to first they pitch to DiMagglo which gives the present slugger an advantage. Timber Products, rightfully con fident that they will represent southern Oregon at the state soft ball tournament In Salem August 23-28. have already verbally signed up Ken Leavltt. flre-baller for the HUMRS they also plan to grab Date, brilliant Grants Pass wind miller, for the Jaunt wtth Red Scheel, that would be a fair coun try pitching staff. Linn Mills, coach at Talent high school last year and new teacher In the Medford grammar schools, says that wrestling's Boston crab hold does all Us damage to the front ribs and stomach muscles. Instead of the back, as most persons be lieve Linn was high school state champion of Iowa two years running, and should know of which he speaks saw his first squabble under the present hl-de-ho methods the other night, and got a kick out of It, de spite himself. Expensive whiskies are 100 proof, the same as moderately priced Glenmore. If you want top quality In straight Kentucky Bourbon ask for Glenmore. Qiiarts0?Jrl,1.55 Pints 85c BATTLES SLATED Strslght through. It will be cleanle versus mesnte next Monday night at the high school arena as Mack Hi lar a, grappling lmpressarlo of south ern Oregon, parades his huskies be fore a local gathering of addict In the weekly program under the stars. Although billed as the opening event, the Danny Savich versus Carlos Rodriguez squabble Is stealing much, of the fan-talk usually reserved for the main event. It Is a return match from last Monday evening In which Savich. returning to Medford after a long absence, brought gasps of sur prise from everyone by going dirty against tho Mexican "hot tarn ale." It was the first time In the history of Savich appearances here that he had deviated from the straight and narrow, And there has been much conjecture among paying customers as to the reason for-Danny's sudden chameleonic tendencies. When asked following the match, which he won, as to what the big Idea was, the ex-Unlver<y of Utah football stir remarked that he wasnt going to let any lowbrow Mexican beat him, In other words, Danny as much as admitted that he couldn't take It any longer, and had to resort to foul tactics to win his matches, Rodrlguea Is plenty burned up over Danny' crack, and asked Llllard for & lother chance at Savich. Fans will witness the outcome of this new per sonal feud next Monday evening. In the main event, Sammy Kohen, a dirt sllnger de luxe, will meet the clean grappling Frankle Clemens, master of the sensational Indian par alyzer. Clemens, boasting an unde feated record In both Klamath Falls and Med lord, will face one of hi hardest tests in the beautifully built Kohen. Jack La Rue. another villain of the first water, will form the one-man welcoming committee for the return of Toots Estee. the popular ex-cham- plon of the Hawaiian lslsnds, who has been working the California clubs, HOW THEY?
