The Giants, picked to fight for the Na tional league pennant with Chicago because of their pitching and tight defense, spilled lfl hits off three Boston pitchers,- Including three home runs, while Cliff Melton easily held the Bees, On the other hand, the Yankees, famed for their power, continued to look hamstrung with Joe DIMagglo out of their llno-up. They won the morning game from Boston, S to a. on a plnch-hlt by Red Ruffing In the last Inning, but made only five hits. In the afternoon Jack Wilson and Fritz Ostermueller blanked them to 0, allowing the two-time cham pions only two safeties. Lou Gehrig nd Bill Dickey went hltless for the day, and the anger of owner Jacob Ruppert appeared to mount. No Compromise, . It blazed when he was Informed that DIMagglo was willing to .com promise on ealnry If the club would make the first move. "I should say not," he snapped. , I . About the only consolation for Yankee followers waa the fact that the two clubs supposed to give them their competition, Detroit and Cleveland, also had Headaches to day.

Athlete lllea. NEW YORK, April 30. ,T Wil liam J. A. Row, 34, former national A A.U. hammer throwing chHmplou, died today aftor a long Illness. la Curt Davis on the downgrade; la the ex-Medford and Ashland hurler headed for the bushes and baseball obscu rity following a lair career In the major leagues? Such Is the question being buzzed around Medford since the spectacular deal which sent Jerome "Dizzy" Dean to the Chl ca&o Cubs In ex- I 'AS i '! chanBe 'orPltch . . j v.,'j era Curt Davis ana iiyue ouuuu, Outfielder Tut Stalnback, and a mere 185.000 In U. 8. currency. It's not that local baseball bugs figure the St. Louis Cardinals ex actly "down the river" from the Cubs. As a matter of fact, the Cards are regarded very highly around here, many local fans believing they will win thi National league pennant. It s the manner In which Davis was sent out of Chicago that makea everyone wonder whether maybe the tall, righthander has seen his best baseball days. Two years ago, Davis waa con sidered a far more valuable piece of baseball flesh than lie appar ently Is now, even though he enjoyed a good season with the Cubs last year. In 11)33 with the Philadelphia Phillies, Curt won 1 and lost 14 with a seventh plnie clubi but even so the Phillies, or any other team, wouldn't have trailed him and 185 grand lor lean. In 1038 Curt, starting slowly, broke even In 86 gainea with Chlcugo, niter being purchased from Phllly dur ing the winter, and even with that mediocre record, we can't Imagine owner Hrlgiey of the Cubs parting with him and that amount of cash for the Ulzzy one. Cuff acribbllngs: Great goin', Hob by, in getting next year's Oregon basketball varsity In Madison Square Garden in New Yawls , . . Ashland finally went and done put in lights on lta high school athletic field . as a result, there won't be a town In the Southern Oregon football conference next season without the gltmmera ... a couple more aet backs like the Yanks suffered In the opener Monday, and Beer Baron Ruppert will be thinking again about the C40.000 Dl Mag wants , , . Jack Olney, a alug;lng outfielder who played with Hop Gold of Portland last year, la located in Medford, and saya he will turn out for the Med ford Cratera . . . Hop Gold finished second to Reliable Shoo in the Ore gon semi-pro tourney at Sllverton and those who know say olney can really slap the horsehlde , . . MEAN TO JOIN I Then last year, after being out.... the greater part of the Benson with various ailments, Curt started taking hla rogular turn on the rhound and ended the season with 10 victories and five defeats and allowed 4.00 earned runs per nlno Innings. That record Isn't to be sneezed at, and the belief hereabouts was that the big fellow would enjoy a great sea son this summer. He still may, only It will be In the livery of the Gas House Gong and not the Cubs. And, that's Just what Medford hot-stovers are won dering about. Alter enjoying his best season, after hurling at a .667 gait, the Cubs turn around and trade him off with a couple of other guys named Joe, for Dlar.y Dean, who won 13 and lost 10 last year, not neurly so good a record as Curt turned In. himself. On paper, It looks like St. Louis got by fur the best or the deal, lint. If luvh m us n't fig ured by Manager Charlie (irlmni of the Cubs to he uliuost washed up. why would Clitnign part with him under thoe condl thins. It Just doesn't make seme, unless Manager Wally Rlckert of the Med ford Craters announced today the ac quisition of Cliff "Chief" McLean of Ashland, colorful Indian catcher of last year's Uthlans and considered the finest receiver In the Southern Oregon league. McLean will report to the Craters Immediately, and see his first action next Sunday when the locals tangle with the Klamath Palls Red Sox at the high school park here. The ex Unlverslty of Oregon star will be em ployed this summer at Timber Pro ducts, Manager Rlckert said, and will remain with the Craters all season. McLean, a powerful hitter, led the Southern league In batting In 1936, rapping out an average of .438 whllo with Grants Pass. Laat season with Ashland, he finished fourth In the league batting race with a mark of .372, socking 16 hits In 43 trips to the plate and scoring nine runs. He has a machlne-un arm and will be one of the fastest bascrunners In the circuit. Scores Yesterday DEFEAT BEAVERS, 4-3, E (By the Associated Press.) Handsome Joe Orengo, shortstop of the Pacific Coast league Sacramento team, rings a bell during the winter as grlpman on a San Francisco cable car. Today he waa cc!aimed by his teammates for "ringing the bell" with hla baseball bat at Portland. Handsome Joe was the reason the Solons defeated tho Portland Ducks, 4 to 8. In 12 Innings yesterday. In the second inning, with one on base, be w&lked up to the plate, caught onto one of Whltey Hllcher'a offerings and sent It out of the park for a homer, to put the Solons ahead In the eighth Portland tied the score by getting to Pitcher Bill Wal ker for four hits and a pair of runs. Came the 12th and Bell Ringer Joe went and took a vigorous cut at an other one of HUcher's pitches and sent It booming out of the Portland ball park for his second homer. Despite the loss yesterday In a game which brought out 14,000 fans to see the first Coast league game this season at Portland, the Ducks were still tied for first place with Xos Angeles. Los Angeles dropped a 4 to 1 game to the San Diego Padres. The Hollywood Stars were given a 7 to 3 shellacking by the San Fran cisco Seals last night.
