ERICKSON SLATED TO HURL AGAINST T Rose burg's colorful Pirates and the battling Medford Craters face off in a crucial Southern Oregon league baseball game this afternoon at the high school field, with the opening pitch slated for 2:30 sharp. Other circuit encounters see Grants Pass at Ashland and Crescent City at Glen dale. Manager Mike Balkovick of the lo cals tentatively nominated young Ray Eric It son. speedball righthander, for - 3 7 0 , initial mound duty in the battle that perrell and Medford must win to retain a fight- ing chance at the second-half pen It. H. E. ' nant. George Barr, Pirate manager. will do the flinging for his cellorlte club. Although losing four straight since the second half started a month ago, Roseburg Is expected to prove a high hurdle In the Craters pennant aspi rations. Working against Mike Kou of Crescent City last week, one of the league's leading hurlers, Barr was beaten by only one run. result oi an error. He is a Dig ngntnanaer wnn a world of stuff, and may cause much un happiness among Medford hitters. Although Erlckson will pro&amy open fire for the craters. Manager Balkovick aald that Jack Hugnes, an other starboard Tiinger, would un doubtedly see action. Hughes has been working out dally for the past month, and claims he ia ready to go after a two-lear layoff. Two changes will be seen in the Medford lineup from that which per- i formed last Sunday. Donny Dono-1 van, the boy with the machine-gun arm. will be stoned at third base Duke Hankui&on'a position, the latter having returned to Eugene. Left field, from whence Donovan was shifted, will be handled by one of the Craters' three 'other hurlers be- sides Erlckson Hughes, Larry Pepper or Alvln Merrltt. Dick Sakralda and Hoosler Hoftard will be In center and right, respectively. Remainder of the infield will see Bob Smith on first, Wally Rlckert on second and Dick Lewis at the short patch. Strong-armed Russ Acheson will do the receiving. Manager Balkovlck's ailing leg is still rather weak, but the husky skipper said he could go In If necessary. In case Balkovick wears the big mltt and mask, Ache son will probably be sent to left field. With one win and one loss so far In the second-half race, the Craters will face the Pirates today with a do-or-dle attitude. Paced by the Ashland Llthlans. who have won four consecutive victories, the pennant scramble la close approaching the crucial stage. Manager Balkovick and his entire club realize that they must knock off the Pirates today, and all others In the future, to stay in the race. One defeat for Medford will mean curtains. The large war club of Hoosler Hof fard, one of the heaviest hitters ever seen in southern Oregon, is expected to move into serious action today. Silent the past three weeks before the southpaw slants of Mike Koll and Bob Hardy, Hoosler will at las, be looking at a right-handed pitcher, and may break loose with some tre mendous clouting. A southpaw stick er, the big fellow just doesn't like those left-handed curve balls zoom ing around his knee. Other Balko vlcklans who may damage Roseburg's George Barr considerably are Dono van, hitting over .350; Bob Smith, ditto: and Dirk Lewis.

Proprietor PARALYZER HOLDS NO TERRORS FOR Ther Is only one thing that cocky little Sammy Kohen has to .worry about when he facet Pr ankle Clem ens In the top event of Mack Lll lard's weekly grappling program at the open-air high school arena to morrow night. And that's the Indian paralyser, the pet maneuver that has kept the Ok la horn an undefeated In southern Oregon. But Cohen, probably the most cocksure wrestling man that ever stepped In a ring, isn't even giving the devastating neck-number a sec ond thought. So confident Is the New York City Jew of whipping the Clemens fellow that he is already hounding tmpreaaarlo Llllaxd to get some tough opponents In here; some guys who can give him a tussle, Clemens, on the other hand, is one of those citizens who talk a very poor match and wrestle a very sweet one. He has popped off not once since arivlng here about a month ago. His record, which Is perfect, seems to point to the value of doing your mat work on the mat and not on the street. However, Kohen said be forehand that he was going to knock the Black Dragon silly, which he did, so there may be something to that too. Anyway, local addicts are looking for a ding-dong battle when the two have their squabble tomor row evening. Toots Bates, popular cleanle who has been absent from local circles for some time, returns to try Jack La Rue. the Kansas City bad man, In the middle event. LaRue boasts a honey of a hammerlock. which he applies after foul-punching bis op ponent into a state of pitiful sub mission. Estes is a past master of the thrll ling' dropklck. He is also a clean wrestler, which la probably just as well, what with LaRue displaying enough dirt for a dozen wrestling orutes. Danny Savlch, the cleelna who turned meanle when the pressure was on, faces Carlos Rodriguez, the Mexican "hot tatnale." In the opener. It's a rematch from last week and should see plenty of bad blood spilled. HORSE SHOE TOSSERS TO VIE HERE TODAY GRANTS PASS. Aug. 7. (Spl.)
