O'REfiQ'??, STTXDAY, 'ATTCFST 22, IflST Crippled Craters Play Crescent City Today for Pennant Honors LAST-INNINGS' OF E WILL COME FIRST Regular Tilt To Follow Medford Has Chance For ' Pennant Pepper On Hill Crippled seriously In two key po sitions but determined to brink Med. ford Its first baseball pennant in many years. Manager Mike Balko Tick's crashing Craters face the pow erful Creaaent City Chlnooks this afternoon at the turf high school field In the final game of the South ern Oregon league season. Action will start at 1:30 p. m. with the two clubs beginning the replay of their July 18 protested game. The score will be tied, 3-3, in the last half of the sixth Inning, with Crescent City at bat and Perm on first base. immediately following completion of the abbreviated enoounter, the teams will start their regularly scheduled circuit battle. A double win for either club will decide the second-half championship. A spilt will throw the race Into a three-way deadlock for first place. Winner of the second-half pennant will play Crescent City, first-half champs, for tho league pennant. Medford and Crescent City ere tied for the league lead with four wins and one loss at prenent. With Dick Lewis, shortstop, on the injured list and certain of seolng no action, and Jack Hughes, big right- handed pitcher, nursing a sore arm, Medford will entor the game decided underdoga to a Orescent City club that has lost only one encounter all aeason. Lewis was put on the side lines Thursday night when he ripped a long gash In his leg playing soft ball at the stadium. Jack Hughes, who tied up the race last Sunday by beating Grants Pass, turned up with an extremely sore arm Friday and Manager Balkovlck Is doubtful wheth er Hughes will be able to work. After pitching a beautiful game against the Merchants, Hughes decided to give his arm a rest. He worked out Friday end after 10 minutes called It quits, the pain was so great. With Hughes undoubtedly out of all consideration, Larry Pepper will probably start on the Crater mound In the regular battle. The youthful curve-ball specialist has won five games this year and Is considered Med rorcrs ace Hurler. He will be op posed by either Lefty Mike Roll, bril liant Crescent City chucker, or Ralph Deo, big rlghthtander. Ray Erlckson will open on the rubber egnlnst the Chlnooks In the replay game. Manager Balkovlck Is still unde cided what he will do about the shortstop berth. He has given con sideration to shifting Welly Rlckert, second baseman, to short and put ting Russ Acheson In at second. Also, of using Ray Lewis, Dlck'a brother, at shortstop. Ray la a nice fielder but rather weak at the plate. The big manager stated that he probably wouldn't know for sure Just how the Crater Intield would stack up until game time. Remainder of the Crater club will spread out with Bob Smith, Rickert and Donny Donovan In the Infield; Dick Sakraida, Hooaler Holfard and Otorge dltsson In the outfield, and Balkovlck or Acheson back of the plate. The Ashland-Olendale gome shced uled for Olendsle was called off be cause of the sawmill fire In the Uim ber town. If Medford and Crescent divide their two-game series today, the Olendale-Ashland game will prob ably have to be played next Sunday as the Llthlans still have a chance to tie for the title. POMPTON LAKC3, N. J Aug. 31. (API Joe Louis Is willing to talk freely on most subjects especially baseball but he Is strangely silent on how long he thinks his bout with Tommy Parr next week will lost. "I feel fine and expect to win," he says, "but there's no chance of me nsmlng the round. "1 picked a few very close, but I was only guesaln'. After the Max Schmellng bout 1 decided I should stop picking the round. The scrap with Bob Pastor also showed me It was fooling. So Just say Joe feels great and expects to beat Tommy rarr; thafa all." Loula doea everything asked of him and follows orders with good grace. He wanted to play catch yesterday, but when Manager Julian Black told him the soft ball had been locked up until after the fight because or the dsngor he might hurt a finger, Joe merely grinned and found some thing else to do. Donkey Baseball at Hi Field Wednesday Hilarious and exciting donkey baseball will again be brought to Medford next Wednesday at 6:16 p. m. at the high school field under the sponsorship of the 30-30 club Nineteen of the stubborn brutes will be on baud to provide spills for the players and V rills for the spectators.

Semon and Leonard Carpenter, officials of the Rogue Valley Oolf club. AU will eulo gize their golfing and personal friend, E3gan, In short talks. At 11 a. m., Lawson Little, Harry Cooper and Jimmy Thompson will stage a shot-making demonstration at the club for all local golfers and Interested persons. Horton Smith, leading professional of 1936, will ac company the exhibition with explan atory remarks. All participants In the dedication program were to arrive In Medford this morning. Bobby Jones and Grant land Rice were to arrive from the south. After a one-day stop In Med ford, they will attend the national amateur tournament in Portland, to be staged at the Alderwood country club. The four professionals were to arrive from the north where they have been giving exhibition matches the past three weeks. Pherrln and Jackson were to also enter Medford from the north. Of especial Interest to golfers and fans alike wlll .be the appearance of Jimmy Thomson, considered the long est driver In the world. It Is a matter of record that he has belted tee shots 300 and more yards. He Is ranked at one of the greatest professionals In the country. Horton Smith will be teamed with Thomson in the 18-hole exhibition match, and while not so long off the tee, Is a master at the short game and on the green. He led the world's golfers who play for money last year and has won more Important tour naments than any other present day player.

Next to Thomson, Little Is rated the longest hitter of a golf ball in the world. It was Little who, following his repeat double slam In the British and American ama teur's, was named the logical success or to the great Bobby Jones, who had turned professional. Little, however, also oast his lot with the money players and has produced an enviable record since then. Llghthorse Harry Cooper, who will team with Little In the exhibition match, was also a leading money win ner during the 1038 season. His aver age of 71 .63 strokes per round in many of last year's tournaments was good enough to give him second place In the Radix cup ratings.
