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

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

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

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.

shortly In the footsteps of Teammate
Ted Schopf by taking unto himself

Salt Lake City , . , Gomez wasted
little time In making the major
leagues while Davis languished with
the Seala for several years ... If he
had been left-handed he would have
beaten Oomez to the big time by
ten city blocks . . . Davis was always
rated a better pitcher than the goofy
one when they were both with the
Seals.
