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

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

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

CLEVELAND. (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
