The score was 10-5. The encounter saw the Craters retain gambling chance at the second-half pennant while the Pirates were drop ping their fifth straight to sink deep into the circuit cellar. Although slaying the Jinx tna bad dogged him since the season opened, Erickson was none too ef fective.

Hill, Robertson, Goff and Mar din all belted singles for a total ot three runs, but the outburst went for naught. Jack Hughes took over In the next stanza, and from then on out the Pirates were completely at his mercy. A walk to Hughes, two force plays and Donovan's third two-base hit of the afternoon accounted for the tenth and final Medford tally in the eighth Inning. Good Support. Although the Crater Infield com mitted four errors, It gave E'lckson and Hughes some sensational sup port.
