TEAM PLANNED BY
L
Action Would Provide New
Interest in Pastime Post
Is Told by President Fra
zier of Association.
Medford will have an American Lo
glon Junior baseball team this year,
according to plans outlined at Tues
day night's meeting of the local poet.
The decision was made following a
talk by Austin Frazler. president of
the Medford Athletic association. In
which he reviewed local baseball ac
tivities, past and present, and told
of need for a large field of opera
tion icr the many youthful players
In Jackson county.
Establishment of Legion Junior
baseball with Its district, state and
national championship games, will
provide a new interest and stimulus
In the national pastime among the
younger local players of today, who
may be the stare of tomorrow, ac
cording to the speaker, who advised
that there Is much good material in
this locality for a real team to rep
resent Medford. Prazler's remarks
were supplemented by R. R. Ebel. vice-
president of the local athletic asso
ciation, after which general discus
sion followed. The matter was put
to a vote and carried unanimously,
whereupon Commander Don towlmry
appointed the following committee to
take charge of the nctlvlty: Bob Ebel,
chairman, Clint Archibald and Don
York.
Riflemen Demonstrate.
Another youth movement In which
the local Legion post Is much inter
ested Is that of the Legion Junior
rifle club recently organized here. A
demonstration of actual firing on the
armory Indoor range was presented
at Tuesdcy'a meeting under direc
tion of Shelby Tuttle. chairman r.f
the Legion Junior rifle club commit
tee. HaJbert Deuel. Nina Tuttle, Jack
Denlson and Shelby Tuttle. Jr.. took
part In the program, demonstrating
firing from four positions.
Some excellent scores were made
by the youthful marksmen who have
shown rapid progress since organiz
ation of the club. Tuttle explained
various phases of their training and
stated that the club now numbers 10
members. During the short period
of three months these members have
completed the requirements of 134
Junior qualification awards ranging
from pro-marksman to distinguished
riflemen. In fact, their progress has
been so outstanding that It was given
a speolal write-up In the April issue
of the American Rifleman mngazlnn.
The matter of sending a Medford
boy to the annual "boys' state" camp
again this year was brought up by
Past Commander J T. Fllegel, who
suggested that local service cluhs be
given. an opportunity to participate In
the project which is now nationwide
In scope. It was felt that several
oluha would be glad to cooperata by
sending one or more boys to receive
valuable training In governmental
affairs.
Commander Newbury announced
that a change in meeting nignts to
Wednesday had ben suggested. In
order to permit Legion member of
the city council and city administra
tion aa well as the national guard

Billy HuJen Sayg:
Baseball Provides
Major Headlines
In News of Day
Big baseball news busted all over
the landscape yesterday.
On the national front, Joe the
DlMag. from his
fish grotto In
Frisco, announc
ed that he was
tired of waiting
for Colonel Jake
Ruppert to give
him 40 grand for
belting homers
for the Yanks
this season, and
would sign for a
mere 925.000;
Bob Feller chuck
ed his first ball
game for the
C 1 e v e land In
Billy Holes
dians and pro
ceeded to Rive up only one blngle:
and Jerome Dean, the Dizzy One, the
$18o.000 and three-player beauty ob
tained from St. Louis, pitched his
first major league game in the
monkey suit of a club other than
the Cardinals, giving the Chicago
Cubs a win over Cincinnati.
On the local horizon, the news
was Just as big. and was good, to
boot. Cliff "Chief" McLean, slugging
Ashland catcher, signed with the
Craters for the remainder of the sea
son, strengthening the club to the
point where it must now be consid
ered the team to beat In the com
ing Southern Oregon league pennant
squabble. The American Legion an
nounced that It would sponsor, in
co-operation with the Medford Ath
letic association, a Junior legion ball
team here this summer, and ap
pointed a committee to mako plans
for an early start. Players will he
drawn from the annual summer
baseball school conducted by the
association, and from all parts of
the county.
This signing of McLean gives the
local S. O. L. entry Just what It
needed a terrific, payoff slugger
who can hammer runs across the
plate when they are needed, and a;
smart, experienced receiver to nan
die Its young pitchers. George Hsr
rlngton. who donned the big mitt
and protector this season after being
out of the game four years, will be
shifted to left field, where he will
alternate with Russ Acheson,
cording to the present plsns of
Mnnsger Wally RIckert.
While the signing of the "Chief"
is by far the best baseball news to
hit Medford this season, here la some
more information local Gus H. Phans
can assimilate at their leisure, and
which should send them home talk
ing to themselves happily. Ifa simp
ly this: Lowell Brown, southpsw
first baseman of the Craters and
once considered one of the finest
pitching prospects ever graduated
1
tv
from a Portland high school, may
soon be able to wing them over
with the same effectiveness that
caused him to be selected four
straight years on the all-star Port
land Interscholastic team.
Brown's left flipper hasn't been
right for two years, ever since he
ruptured a blood vessel near the
elbow heaving 100-pound oil cam
over a truck on a bet. The arm was
treated by several doctors, but U
never did come around Into first
class condition again. Right now,
Lowell can go at top speed for three
or four Innings, but after that the
ruptured vessel starts acting up.
his arm gets numb and actually
black and blue from the elbow clear
down to his hand, and he loses all
control, not to mention speed and
curve ball. And anyone who saw him
whiff a couple of those Belllngham
hitters last Sunday knows he's got
a plenty nasty and explosive hook.
Dick Llnnell. former Medford resi
dent and graduate of a San Fran
cisco school of physiotherapy and
Swedish massage, has been working
on the valuable Brown port-side ap
pendage the past few days, and says
that he's almost certain the big
southpaw's arm will be as good as
new in three months, maybe less.
Llnnell, a nephew of Mrs. Ken Mur
ray and brother of Jim Llnnell, Med
ford high sprint star last year, Is in
town temporarily, and has been ham
mering on muscles of Crater players
with gusto.
On Brown's arm, right in the
crook on the inside. Is a hard knot
about the size of an enlarged pea
nut, Llnnell said. It Is that knot
that's causing all the trouble, he
turn, d uauaiug mi uio irouoie, ne
explained, and he has been mawag-
Ing and working on It with the Idea
of eliminating It entirely. He really
believes he can bring back the arm
Into Its once effective form, and
Brown claims it feels better, than
any time slnje the rupture.
If such happens and Lowell reaches
the form he has displayed at times
in the past. Medford needn't worry
aDout a starting pitcher who can
go the route In this circuit. Brown
has hurled some brilliant gamea In
other years, and it Is generally con
ceded he has more pure, raw stuff
on the ball than Bob Hardy, himself
one sweet southpaw pitcher.
Manaser Rlrkert said today he
would start either Riy Erlckson
or Larry Pepper on the mound
In Sunday's game against the
Klamath Falls Red Sox at the
local hlj;h school orchard. Pep
per, who tentatively signed with
Ashland earlier In the year, has
been acquired by (he rroters,
and will he with them all sea
son, the skipper said.
Team managers of Olendale. Grants
Pass, Medford. Ashlsnd, Yrcka and
Crescent City, Southern Oregon
league members, will have a pow
wow at Grants Pass Frldav nleht to
settle on the schedule. It was pre-
viuti&jy aecinea lo nave a IB-game

Holdout Against Yanks
Diz Looks Good in Opener
By OAVLE TALBOT
(Associated Press Sports Writer.)
The big league baseball races, only
Just begun, already have supplied
more quick color and commotion than
a four-ring circus during a thunder
storm. The customers today were
slightly bewildered from trying to
look In a dozen directions at '-rce.
Joe DIMagglo. tho last of the hold
outs, was rolling eastward to Join the
beleaguered New York Yankees,
watching the telephone polea tick off
the dollars he had lost by trying to
buck the most powerful club In the
business.
Owner Phil Wrlgley. the chewing
gum king who owns the Chicago Cubs,
was breathing a little easier and
i "
' 8alnln8 confidence that he hadn't
been stuck In planking down $250,000
for Pitcher Dizzy Dean. The Dlj did
all right In his Inaugural. s
Feller Near Fame.
Bob Feller, 19-year-old flreballer of
the Cleveland Indians, had come
within a slnsle scratch hit of achiev
ing that noblest of all diamond deeds
a no-hitter, as he shut out tho St
Louis Browns. 9 to 0. Also, he struck
out six and made two hits.
Among the lesser Incidents of a
lusty day was the home-run hit by
little Gene Moore of the Boston Bees
with three on base, to beat the Giants.
8 to 4: a nine-run rally by the Cubs
at Cincinnati's expense, and a four
run. last-Inning comeback by the
Philadelphia Phils to out-game Brook
lyn. 6 to 6. It was a day.
Eyes were glued to the ticker all
over the country as Dean went in to
prove that Branch Rick ay of the
Cards hadn't made a sucker out of
Wrlgley. It wasn't a complete test
for the great one't arm. not after
the Cubs gave him nine runs In the
second Inning. During the six lnninc.s
uiz worked he allowed eight hits and
two runs, but he looked tough enough
when It came time to bear down.
Whiffed Three.
He struck out three men. each
time with men on the sacks, but
didn't appear to be exerting himself
otherwise. Manager Charlie Qrlmm
relieved him after the sixth and let
Jack Russell finish out the 10 to 4
victory.
The St. Louis Cards looked like
they were missing Dean poignantly,
aa five of their remaining pitchers
took another 0e hiding from the
Pltteburgb Plratea.
Fat Freddie Fltzslmmons was the
victim of the Phils' spectacular win
over Brooklyn. Leading 5-3 .folng
Into the ninth after having hurled
hitless ball for four lnnlnga. he sud
denly was rapped for three singles
before Max Butcher was rushed to
the rescue, pinky Whitney promptly
drove In two runs with a single to
tie the score, and then Butcher cut
loose a wild pitch to let the winning
run across.
Feller Yields One Hit.
The only hit off Feller csme In the
sixth when Billy Bulllvsn slspped a
grounder to the pitcher's box. and
the Indiana' wonder boy was Just a
split second slow In fielding It. Six
Browns got on bsse by walks, but
none stole on Feller, which Is news.
Washington won Its third straight
from the Athletics, 3 to 0.
Mickey Cochrane must be dresdlng
