Medford Has Chance For

Crippled seriously In two key po

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.

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.
Probably the best known to Amer
ica's golfing public is Lawson Little,
the ex-Stanford university student
who copped the British and Amer
ican amateur championships two
years running, the only man to ever
score that feat. 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. Among his
major tournament victories are listed
the Los Angeles, Houston and St
Petersburg opens.
Officials of the Rogue Valley Oolf
club have spared no detail In making
plans for the most Important ath
letlo attraction ever ataged In south
ern. There will be marshals at every
tee and green and along the fairways
to handle the huge crowd that will
follow the quartet on their 18-hole!
march. A loud-speaker sound-truck
will bo on hand to keep spectators
Informed of all action on the links.
It will be in charge of an expert.

Before approximately 2000 specta

Falls champions defeated Medford's
Earl Dale by scoring In the fourth
and fifth innings. Dale fanned 11
and allowed only four hits, but was
responsible for the winning run when
he threw wild to third base In the
fifth frame.
Medford, with the exception of the
first Inning when It tallied Its lone
run, was completely at the mercy of

no more than a prayer, but sensa

leaders.
Medford counted Its lone run In
the first stanza when Stlne belted a
single, stole second, and scored when
Sam VanDyke slammed a single Into
left field. From then on the locals
were helpless. Dale got a safety In
the fifth Inning with two away and

stranded as Wheeler came up with
Impossible chances to retire the hit

going into left field.
