BRINGS RESPECT FOR PIE TRAYNOR'S BOYS By Associated press It might not be a bad Idea to be gin taking the Pittsburgh Plrntea very seriously In the current Na tional league race. They have been a terrible disappointment In recent years, but this Is another go-round and Pie Traynor'a boys act like they're not fooling. Their seventh straight win was cored yesterday at the expense of the Chicago Cubs by a score of 8 to . That put them a full game In front of the second-place New York Olants, who wero held Idle by a practically Invisible rain at tho Polo Orounda. What makes the opening burst of the Pirates bear more weight Is the fact that they've taken up right where they left off lost season, when they closed with 10 straight vic tories. They're getting consistently good pitching and the batting has been hard and timely. Twice yesterday the Pirates ex ploded four-run rallies to overtake and pass the Cubs, the second time In the eighth Inning. Johnny Rlseo, slugging rookie out fielder from Columbus, appears to be wie most important addition to the uorsair line-up. He continued his clouting yesterday with a double thnt cored two runa.

NOW OPEN Mcdfordi New Public BADMINTON COURTS NEW DREAMLAND HALL MEANtE MOLLIS Bulldog Ken Hollla gave Cowboy Dude Chick quite a working-over for 20 minutes lit the main grappling bout at the Medford armory last night. But. In cne short minute Chick erased all tho advantage Hollts had obtained In nearly a ha If-bom and In the record books for the bene fit of posterity the outcome of the match will be revealed thusly, "Chtck, one fall In 30 minutes, lariat spin " It was a lariat apln, and howl Cow boy Dude Chick has slapped many a spin on many a grapplcr In the local squared circle, but none so devas tating as the one the Arkansas bully received last .nlghc. Chick hoisted Hollts to his shoulders and whirled him, by actual count. 27 times. Then he slammed him tn the carpet and started bouncing. Chick usually bounce's Just once on a helpless op ponent, but he had an extra good hate on Hoi Ms. so ho did some fancy bouncing. He whammed himself down on the prostrate Hollls four times and ended up by kicking him In the ribs. Needless to say, Hollls was ready to go home following that demonstration. He couldn't come back for more action, and probably wouldn't have wanted to had he been able. Until the payoff maneuver of Chick's the villainous Bulldog dished out great quantities of pot son in the form of blows to the tuad and stomach, pulled a considerable amount of the champ's hatr, And gouged eyes with a vengeance. Chick managed to protect himself because of classy wrestling ability, but he was In a pretty bad way Immediately pr- I ceding cne alrplnn spin. sgt. Bob Kenaiton of Oold Hill banded Wild Reft Berry his first de feat In the Medford armory, ending things with a Oold Hill crab In the fifth round after each had grabbed a tumble.

The windup came after Berry bat tered Kcnaston out of the ring.

I "S Sport Graphs .... .Billy BnJen Sayj: Tiger Athletes Show Class in Hayward Relays In case It is not a matter of gen eral knowledge In these parts, we would like to go on record as point ing out the fact that William J Bowerman, head coach of Medford high school has produced quit a track and field team this sea son. In fact, from the performance of Red and Black o 1 a d runners, hurdlers, Jumpers and field men In the Bill Hayward relays last Sat urday at Eugene, we wouldn't be a bit surprised to see the Tigers run one-two In the Oregon state high school cham plonships at Corvallis, May 30 and 21. Bill took the squad to Eugene Sat urday to glvp it experience in tough competition. He figured the gang would grab off a few points, but he had no serious hopes of winning. So what did the Tigers do but run and Jump the sox off 16 other strong prep squads from west of the Cascade bountalns, and finish In first place witn a total of 22 points to second- piace Salem's 17, in addition to cracking the meet record in the 440 yard relay with a mark of 45.9. That bested the old record set by Chem- awa in 1936 by 2.1 seconds, and everybody gave Ray Johnson, Don Horner. Bob Ettinger and Ray Crosby a great, big hand. Johnson, start ing things off. gave the baton and a 10-yard lead to Horner, and when the race was over the Tigers were 40 yards In front of Salem. Horner, Don Montelth and Bob Nenlnnd. the three classiest high Jumpers In the meet, to taled 16 feet 11 Inches In the high-Jump relay, with Montelth going over at 5 feet 9 Inches for the best mark. The other Tiger first plnce was In the Javelin, with Bill C les, Dan Karhcart ami Loerfler surprising even their mentor by hearing the spear 378 feet. - Bill Hayward, veteran University of Oregon coach and Instigator of the meet, was highly impressed by the Medford team, so much so that he wanted Bowerman to bring the Ti gers back next Saturday to tangle with his freshman outfit.

Presents CLAUDE PARMELEE Famous Marksman and Canadian Big Game Hunter. ' EXPERT SHOOTING. DEMONSTRATION OF WORLD FAMOUS GUNS AND AMMU NITION. MOTION PICTURES OF BIG GAME TAKEN BY MR. PAR MELEE IN THE CANADIAN NORTH WOODS DEMONSTRATION OF COR RECT USES AND CARE FOR FINE GUNS. SPONSORED BY THE MEDFORD RIFLE CLUB as Medford already had a date with Grants Pass at the local stadium un der the lights Friday night. Bower man had to refuse the Invitation. This meet coming up Friday evening, by the way, will be the first ever held under the lights In Medford. It should be quite a spectacle, with the Tigers, Cavemen and possibly several performers from Jacksonville and Phoenix doing their stuff under the stars and glimmers. Track and field meets, regard less of what many persons be lieve, are really Interesting If conducted properly, with races following each other In rapid fire order and field events being spaced so that spectators can see what's going on. Bowerman said the Friday meet would be staged In about an hour and a half, and that's really slamming the boys through their events. Sir William corrected an erroneou? report from Eugene that Medford arrived too late to compete In the mile relay. Bill satd the event was the last on the program, and that his entrants were standing around waiting 'for the call, which never came. "I was sitting in the last row of the grandstand." Bill explained "and when I saw the mile relay start and Medford not tn there, I came out of the grandstand pretty fast. It developed that there hadn't been a call for the event, and natur ally Medford's runners didn't know what to do. Bill Hayward and I had quite a talk about It, but when it became apparent that Medford didn't ned the mile-relay points to win the meet, there was no use In stir ring up a beef. We had already won. so the matter was dropped." The same sort of a situation oc curred In the Mod ford -Klamath Falls ball a-ame Sunday. An error was made on the part of officials which could hive been serious, but wasn't. Dirk Snkralda, tn the eighth Inning, went to hat out of turn, stepping to the plate when the hitter should have been Bill Rathke. the pitcher, who was ninth In the batting order, while Sakralda led off. Scorekeepers caught the mistake after Sak ralda had received three pitched balls, and Umpire Martin, behind the plate, Immedlatelly palled Rathke out. That retired the side with two men on base, and halted what might ' have been a nice Medford rally. As Medford won the game, 8 to 3, It doesn't matter now, but the umps did call the play wrong. Nobody realized It at the time, and It looked perfectly logical that an out should be called when a player batted out of turn. Checking up on the rules after the game, we found the fol lowing in section 1, rule 44: The Batsman Is Out, "If he fall to take his position at the bat in the turn In which his name appears In the batting order. But, tf the error be discovered the proper bats man may replace the man at bat be fore the latter becomes a base-run ner, In which case the balls and strikes must be counted In the tlme- at-bat of the proper batsman." I E .April MR. PARMELEE Invites all sportsmen who own Winchester rifles to bring them to Hubbard Bros., Inc. Main Street at Riverside' Avenue Wednesday. April 27 Between 1:00 and 5:00 P. M., where he will make ad justments and give recom mendations for use and care of these rifles. ... No charge for this service! As It happened, Sakralda had not yet become a baserunner when the error was discovered. Instead of calling Rathke out. Umpire Martin should have let Rathke take up 8ak ralda'0 ball-and-stiike count at the plate. If Sakralda had become a baserunner, then Rathke would have been officially out. No harm was done either In the baseball case or In the track situa tion Coach Bowerman 's mile-relay team ran up against. But, what fire works would have exploded had Med ford needed those mile-relay points or had the Craters been trying to tie the score or win the game. PADRES FLASH S. 0. S. TO BIG 'LEAGUES FOB BADLY NEEDED TALENI By the Associated Press. San Diego, 1937, Pacific coast base ball league champions now In sixth place, flashed an SOS to major league clubs today for players.
