EXTRA PALE Ll CLASH SATURDAY ON LOCAL FIELD Medford's Craters and the Glendk"e Loggers will clash In a Southern Ore gon league baseball game Saturday afternoon at the local high school turf field, It was announced last night by Fred Erlckson, president ol the Medford Athletic association, follow ing negotiations with Floyd Claire, Olendale business manager. The game will make up the one at Olendale July 29, which was called off because of rain with the score tied 3-3 In the first half of the filth Inning. Claire, In a wire to Erlckson, accepted the Medford offer but stated that the ball club couldn't arrive before 3 p. m. Hence, the late 4 o' clock starting hour. Manager Mike Balkovlck of the Craters said that Larry Pepper would work on the Medford mound against the Loggers with big Jack Hughes going against Grants Pass Sunday at Grants pass. Both encounters are extremely crucial to the Crater pen nant cause. In case Medford defeats Olendale Saturday, they will advance Into a second place tie with Crescent City with three games won and one lost, Just one-half a game back of the league-leading Ashland Llth lans. TO THIRD PLACE (By the Associated Press.) Portland was back In third place In the Pacific Coast baseball league today after handing the San Fran cisco Seala a S to 4 setback. The Seals have been fighting des perately to hold the third spot, but last night they weren't desperate enough as Satlor BUI Posedel held them well In check. Brooke Holder of ths Seals and Moose Clabaugh of the Beavers each hit homers. Hefty Jim Chaplin, late of the Bos ton Bees, checked In his 20th Coast league victory for the league-leading San Diego Padrea when he bested Ernie Bonham 01 the Oaks In a 10 lnnlng pitchers' duel. Ocorge Mc Donald singled In the last of the 10th with the bases loaded to give the Padres a 4 to 3 victory. Sacramento scored three runs In the ninth to come from behind ard beat the San Francisco Missions, 4 to 3. Cullop was knocked out In the sec ond Inning when struck by a line drive. He fielded the ball, threw to second base and then collapsed. Seattle and Loe Angeles had a night of rest when threatening weather forced postponement. One of grappllng's strangest oddl- tlea Wild Man Zln wtll appear on i next week's card at the open-air high school arena. Promoter Mack LUlard announced today. The freak weigh about 185 pounds and has run up a sensational record In the eaat, LUlard aald. His most ; peculiar characteristic of many is hia hair, which falls clear to his shoul ders and which he never cuts, the promoter explained. He Is reputedly a rough worker, although not ex tremely dirty. LUlard said he might match him with Sammy Kohen for hi first appearance here. Another newcomer who will be seen here August 23 Is Marshall Carter, llghtnlng-faet ex-wrestllng Instructor at the University of Missouri. WILD MAN 1 TO WRESTLE MONDAY r W Ml Sport Graphs e e e e Billy Bnlea Sajn: S. 0. Pennant Race Is Free for All In Final Stretch This current Southern Oregon league pennant race has suddenly turned into nothing less than a rtp snortlng, slam-bang, free-for-all, with four clubs bunched so closely st the top that It would take a Houdlnl to untangle the mess and a King Solomon to pick the win ner. When Grants Pass rose up to smite Bob Hardy end his Ashland Ltthlans last Sunday by 10-7, it set the stage for what will undoubtedly be the most hectic finish to' a rag regatta seen locally for many years. With only two more weeks remaining In the pennant battle, four outfits are decidedly still In the running. They are Medford, Ashland, Orants Pass and Crescent City, first-half winners and cinch performers tn the playoff agalnat the second-half champions. Although bumped Sunday for the first time this half, the Llthlans still lead the parade with four wins and one loss. So close are the four clubs bunched, however, that only one full game separates Orants Pass, In fourth place, from the league leaders. To date, here is how the top four outfits stack up: W. L. Ashland 4 1 Crescent City Mh,i .. 3 1 Medford 3 1 Orants Pass 3 2 Crescent City la one-haif Pet. .800 .750 .607 .800 game behind Ashland and Medford trails Crescent City by half a game while virtually tied with Orants Pass, al though boasting a high percentage. Only Olendale end Rose burg are eliminated from the second-half race. Medford has four more games to play and Orescent City has three: the rest of the clubs will see action only twice more before the curtain Is rung down. There remains for the Craters that postponed Olendale battle and the replay from the sixth inning on of the Crescent City protested encounter. In addition to their regularly scheduled games with Grants Pass next Sunday at Orants Puss and Crescent City here August 22. The replay of the protested game will occur on August 22. also, and the Olendale affair will be staged here Saturday. Although still tanging to their league leadership, Ashland will have plenty of pressure applied next Sun day when Orescent City moves In. tn ease Crescent City slaps the Llthlans and Medford wine from Grants Pass and Olendale, here 1 how the raoe will look: W. L. Pet. Orescent City 4 1 .800 Medford ...-.- 4 1 .600 Ashland e 3 ,M7 Orants Pass S 1 .500 If that should happen, then Orants Pass will be entirely out of the race, with the pennant undoubtedly hing ing on the two games the Craters and Crescent City will play on the local field the week following. Ash land, however, will still have a gamblng chance, as they wind up against a soft Boseburg outfit. If. say. Crescent City and Medford -pllt their two games, a triple tie for first place will occur, provided, or course, that Ashland beau Boseburg. However, if the Llthlans . defeat Crescent City next Sunday, then Medford will have to sweep thelx Orante Pass game, their two Crescent City battles, and their Olendale en counter to tie the Ashlanders. No matter how you figure, It Is a merry, mad mlxup all the way around. Ashland must be given any Blight advantage any of the teams have because of that Boseburg game, although all four teams are decidedly still In the raee. The Craters' out look Is bright, too, because of the return to fine form of big Jack Hughes, and the fact that Manager Mike Balkovlck has four pitchers for the four games In the next two weeks.
