Billy Hulen says: Hoffard, Drolette Defy Father Time On Ball Diamond In the world of sports, youth must always be served (to coin a phrase), and the competitive life of an ath- 3 lete la all too short. Smart, keen-eyed young Biers aro forevof a u rglng upward to displace the veteran who has seen his day. and such Is ns It should be V Uii'OT Strenuous sport ft la for those J' young In years and In mind, un questionably, but still It gives you a thrill to see an LrlkJ Billy Hules athlete, who by all the rules should be long past his prime, stay in there and beat off tho challenge of "flaming youth" simply by superiority of perform ance. Buch a fellow Is Paul "Hoosler" Hoffard, right fielder of the Med ford Craters who, with Catcher Al Drolette of Grants Pass, Is Truly one of the "grand old men" of southern Oregon baseball. And here, lest It be unintentionally Inferred that the "Hoosler" and Drolette are actually old men In the general sense, we would like to state that : neither are that. Both are well under 40 years of age, and It's only when speaking of a baseball player's length of career that they aro termed "old." Hoffard, the big slugger, the most popular favorite with Medford fans In many years, has been wielding his mighty war-club on local diamonds for ft decade. On the ability he has displayed thia spring against Bel llngham and the Klamath Red Sox. It looks like he Is headed for one of his most spectacular campaigns. Ills lega may not bo as rubbery as they once were, and that shotgun arm may have lost some of lta ex plosive power, but there Is certainly nothing wrong with the eyes which have looked over all kinds of hurl ing for a quarter of a century In different parts of the country. They aren't acting their age, not by a long sight. LflBt season. It appeared like Hoos ler had about come to the end of the baseball trail. Hla base-running and coverage of right field were far cries from the Hoffard of several summers ago. and even his tremen dous punch at the plate had dwin dled to the point where he was no longer considered a dangerous hitter It was unbelievable, but the fellow who had led the league in batting for so many years you couldn't count them on one hand, finished the 1937 season with a mark of .102 It really looked like the beginning of the end. When spring training started for the Craters this year and Hoosler started limbering up, Mnnager Wally Iilckert was frankly dubious about the big slugger. There were some mighty fine looking youngsters out there for practice, and on the basis of his last year's record, It didn't seem as If Hoftnrd had much of a chance. But, things began to happen dur ing workouts. Hoosler ripped the cover off the horsehido In batting drills, cut up on the base paths like an 18-year-old. and rilled that base ball In irom right field like It was shot from a gun. In a practice tut the week before the Belllngham game. Hoffard smashed out three hits, stole ft couple of bases and -V A I ft ,5 SSISM cavorted In b manner to turn several rookies green with envy. So Manager Hlckert. still with - his fingers crowed, spotted Hof fard in the right garden against the Western International league Belllngham club, and he made no mistake. All Hoosler did against the class B league team was pull sensational running ratch In right field, belt ft screeching double, and crash the longest homer erer seen on the local field. We stated after the game that the ball traveled 320 feet to clear the right centerfleld . fence, but we were wrong, Aus tin Frailer measured the dis tance Sunday, and Hoffard dyna mited that home run ball ex actly 390 feet from tho plate. And matles, that's doutln In anybody's ball league. Then, last Sunday against the Klamath Falls Red Sox, hitting In the cleanup position, Hoosler singled in the third Inning to score run ncr, and In the fifth, with the ball game still anybody's, the big boy stepped up there and whammed a double Into left field to drive across two mates and clinch the affair. Counting the three runs he batted In against Klamath Falls and, the two he accounted for against Bel llngham, Hoffard has personally sent five runs over the plate out of the nine Medford has scored In two games. He haa rapped out four safe ties in seven trips, an average of .571, and they were payoff clouts in the clutch. And they were a homer. two doubles and a single, a pretty good extra-base average. Yes, Hoosler Hoffard has undoubt edly staged a "come-back," If you want to call it that. Maybe that's what It Is, considering his perform ance last year. But, we would rather say that Hoosler has never been away, that he Just had a poor sea son, got in a prolonged slump and couldn't shake It. Whatever It Is or was makes little difference now. Hoosler Is out there In right field and hitting in his old cleanup spot giving the onion an awful drubbing. Here's hoping he stays there for many years, because baseball wouldn't seem right hereabouts without the big fellow in the middle of things, especially batting rallies.. SEEN DUE TO LOSS OF AS By Associated Press The amazing collapse of the St. Louis Cardinals at the outset of the National league race is causing more comment in the baseball dugouts than the failure of the Yankees to start off at their customary clip. The players and managers have a strong hunch that the Yanks are due to start pouring It on the ball about tomorrow, when Joe DiMagglo likely will break Into the line-up as ft plnch-hltter. But they don't know about the Cardinals. They su.pect that the departure of Dizzy Dean has taken a lot more out of the birds, mentally and physically, than gen erally was thought. Dizzy didn't get along with Man ager Frankle Frlsch, the rival players admit, yet they declnre he put fight Into the Cards and embodied more than any other member of tho team the spirit of "the "gas-house gang." They say the Cards are going to miss more than Dizzy's pitching, and It be gins to look like they're right. Yesterday, with Slugger Joe Mcd wlck still out of the line-up, the Cards dropped their seventh game In eight starts, ft 10-lnnlng. 8 to 7 de cision to Cincinnati. And this, even after Curt Davis, the pitcher obtained WELL DRLLING New Modern Equipment R0BT.

(UP) More than 1,500 persons now have been ques tioned by Cleveland detectives in their search for the "mad butcher of Kingsbury Run." who has slain and mutilated 11 persons In two and a half years. Finding of a woman's dismem bered leg April 8 has given a fresh impetus to the long search for the mad slayer. Detectives Peter Merylo and Martin Zalewskt have questioned 800 sus picious characters In their search for the torso killer, and have obtained conviction of a third of them for crimes ranging from sa.fe-blowtng to forgery. They spent weeks In a slaughter house looking for a mad killer. They spent weeks In hospitals looking for & mad physician. Neither was found. Since September, 1936, they have wandered over ft dozen states and talked with all types of criminals. They are confident that some day they will find the person who is responsible for the decapitation mur ders that started In September, 1935. The two dectives have been re sponsible for the confinement of 47 Insane persons, for the deportation of seven unregistered aliens, for the conviction of seven degenerates. "Anything odd that has a torso suspect In it, we sift down to what ever makes It odd," the Investigators said. Merylo and Zalewskl operate on their own time In most Instances and on hunches. . "Many times we thought we had something," Merylo said, "but after exhaustive search and checking, tho leads always have turned out to be worthless," They still are plucking suspects from Whisky Island a harbor spot on Lake Erie or from Kingsbury Run, or from city dives. To cope with a shortage of farm hands, the German government has decided to bring in about 100.000 agricultural workers from neighbor ing countries. HOWLING KEEP FIT! with the finest pnrt of all.
