Before a large crowd of spectators, Plche's softball team rode their donkeys to a 0-4 victory over the Umber Products lM.rro-busters In the annual donkey baseball game yester day afternoon at the high school field. Antics of the stubborn animals, es pecially Dizzy Dean, kept the crowd in near hysterics ?or five Innlnga, at which point the game waa called because of darkness and bruises. "OlB DlZ." a hiJSk V.

(API Twice beaten back by Incoming tides, Charles Zlmmy. 46-year-old legless swimmer, neared the halfway mark today on hla attempted non stop Albany to New York swim. Three days after slipping, grease plastered. Into the chill waters ot the Hudson river at Albany Monday night, 5lmmy passed Saugertlee for the second time last night and con tinued slowly down the river. He reached there yesterday morn ing, but heavy tides caught him and carried him six miles upstream to ward Catsklll before he could begin again to make headway. He lost an other mile to the river on his first day out, only a few miles south of Albany. Then, too, the New Yorker spends much of the night sleeping, flat on his back In the water, his hands pil lowed beneath his head, mostly In secluded coves along the river bank. By Associated Press The Cuba met the enemy ana couldn't get away from them. Even If they'd been In the next county. It's doubtful If those Chi cago clouters could have gotten the Giants out of their hair yesterday as they blew both ends of their double header with the second-place New Yorkera. They kicked away a five run lead In the opener and a one run edge in the nightcap, which shaved their National league lead to a mere two games. As a result, the National league race seemed headed today for a photo finish, with enough rough rid ing to make It look like a rodeo, and with the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis' reviving Cardinals the out elders that may decide It. Even a couple of startling perform ances in the American league couldn't take the spotlight yesterday. For one. there was Bobby Feller, looking like a real pitcher, fanning 16, allowing four hits and hurling the Indians to an 8-1 victory over the Red Sox In the opener of a twin bill, the nightcap of which went to the Bos tons. 7-3. For another, there was a major league record equaled when the Tigers' outfield didn't have a fielding chance as the Detrolts drub bed the Athletics, 10-4. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen 8ayt: Medford Athletes Will Start Early Under New Regime green as graaa, so far a high achool experience goes. With Acheson adding hit knowl edge to the high srhool coaching setup, Ed Klrtley taking care of the backs, and Bowermon work ing with the line and overseeing all other departments, the locals will certainly not be lacking In quantity and quality of coaches. From the looks of the killer . schedule, however, those mentors will come In right handy. EIGHT POUND TROUT TAKEN FROM CRATER One-Leg Player To Seek Berth On Grid Team MARIANNA. Fla., Aug. 26. (p) Undaunted by the loss of a Icr, Frank Zych Is goiiw to try out for the Marianna hlh school football team this season.

Acklln. Ashland angler, after a 45 -minute struggle. The fish was hooked on a Dr. Shelton silver spoon. It was 26'3 Inches long, six Inches deep, three inches wide and seven years old. The age was determined by microscopic analysts of the trout's acalea by Dr. A. b. Hasler, ranger naturalist. The fish was hooked near Wizard Island. It offered such a spirited struggle that Acklln was j forced to row to the shore to effect ! a successful Inudlng. not being equip- ! ped with a landing net. Just ns the fish was subdued, the hook came loose, llnd this happened a few sec- onds before, the prize catch would huve rt gained Its liberty. Numerous trout wore caught over the week-end. averaging around two pounds each and of rainbow and all vorslde upecles. Ruggirello Loses To Nova in Third OAKLAND, Calif., Aug. 26. (JPh Louis Nova of Alameda, California's No. 1 heavyweight contender, floored Salvatore Ruggirello of Chicago three times before the referee halted their 12-round-no-declelon match In the third round here last night.

' Tnar. from liub corner It appears that truer words were never spok en, nor written. Considering the i present athletic setup in the local school - system, that statement could be enlarg- : ed upon to In- " elude basketball. track, baseball or Billy Hulen. ' any other form of sports activity you care to mention Without a doubt, Medford boasts the finest program for the athletic development of youngsters of any town or city In the entire state. Med ford doesn't wait until your young football or basketball prospect gets In high school. Not by a long Bight.

E. H. Hedrlck. city school superintendent, made a couple of ad ditions to the already smooth-working system this summer which will add further strength to the coaching angle. Linn Mills was brought In from Talent high school, where he had turned out a county baseball championship and a basketball outfit that won the consolation title at the annual SONS Invita tional tournumcnt, nnd will han dle young athletes In one of the local grammar schools. Kay llun sakcr. former SONS football and baKkctbull plaver. was discovered In Jacksonville producing fine w basketball and football cluln. and will bend his efforts toward do ing the same at B Medford gram mar school. With those two coaches turning well-drilled, smart and experienced young athletes Into Junior high for advanced training under George Har rington, who will be spending his first year In that position, and Har rlncton giving his coaching genius to the youthful performers, by the time they reach high school and Bill Bowerman. Russ Acheson. Ed Klrtley, et al. they should be able to answer all questions with plenty of touch downs and field goals. Almost equally Important In the development of young athletic talent as good coaches Is the matter of equipment, of which Medford fur iiLilics only the best. From high school on down the finest uniforms. balLs. helmets and shoes are pur chased for the youngsters, and In juries have been at a minimum bo cause of It. Charley Qebrlnger, great second baseman of the Detroit Tigers, re ceived the ultimate tribute to bis ball playing the other day when none other than Eddie Collins, considered the finest keystone guardian of all time, remarked that the Tiger main stay waa as good as any of the old time performera. Coming from an old-timer, that was especially sweet praise. - Only once in the last 11 season has Oehrlnger fallen below the 300 mark In hitting. Hla big league life time batting average la .325, and sev eral times during the last several years he has battled it out down the stretch for the league leadership. Hla world series average, in 13 gamea, la a mere .377, which Indicates he Is quite a money player. He Is 34 years old, not a kid anymore, but experts figure him good for at least five more great seasons. 8-Run Lead Fails To Stem Mt. Angel SALEM, Aug.
