POWERFUL ATTACK

son's Inauguration While
Yanks Continue Weakness
By Associated Press
Bail -throwing presidents, governors
and mayors were back at their ap
pointed taska today after playing
their star roles In the opening day
frills and foldorols that started oft
another major league baseball cam
palgn.
Fans totalling Just over . 300,000
witnessed yesterday's nine flag'
spangled games, marking the general
opening of the season after Monday
previews at Boston and Washington.
Th!s turnout included a banner
crowd of 40.000 at the Polo Grounds
in New York: 34,000 at Cincinnati
and 33,000 for the afternoon half of
the patriot's day program between
the New York Yankees and the Red
Box at Boston.
filnnts Trample Bees
Two outstanding events pointed
the gala occasion and had baseball
bugs talking today the rlp-roarlnt?
batting attack unveiled by BUI
Terry's New York Giants In flatten
in ft the Boston Bees, 13 to 1, and
the continued weak hitting of the
world champion Yankees, who col
lected a total of only seven hits In
putting with the Tied Sox.
- It all was very disconcerting. 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. Detroit dropped a tight one to
the Chicago White Sox, 4 to 3, and
the lowly at. Louis Browns spoiled
wear vitt a managerial debut at
Cleveland by shellacking the groat
johnny Allen, 6 to 3.
Roxle Lnwsnn was the losing De
troit pitcher, tho Sox Jumping on
him for throe runs In the fourth
Inning. One of the vital hits was by
Joe Kuhel, Sox first sacker recently
obtained from Washington.
In the other American league
game, the Washington Senators made
it two straight over Philadelphia's
Athletics. 0 to 3. as Monte Weaver
hurled slx-hlt ball.

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

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

that mediocre record, we can't
Imagine owner Hrlgiey of the

amount of cash for the Ulzzy

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

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
