Newspaper Page TextPAGE FOUR BEDFORD MAIL TRTBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. TUESDAY. MAY 17. 1938, r LYONS RECOVERS FROM LONG SPIf TO DEFEAT CHICK Red Lyn came out of a deep lumW produced by Bobby Chick'B jyjectaeular lariat spin last night at the Medford armory to defeat the former light heavyweight champion of the world, two falla to one, In their main event, no-tlme-llmlt lln Ish match. It waa one of the hardest fought and most sensational boute seen In Medford this year. Lyons, tossing all thoughts of le gitimate grappling to the winds, won both his falla with a terrific leg atrap. after Chick had spun him Into oblivion In 22 minutes. Bobby revolved exactly IB times with Lyons, then slammed him to the canvas. To all appearances, Lyons was through for the evening. But he managed to revive Just before the bell, and after beating the victory hungry Chick away with doubled fists while he regained his bearings, he cut loose with the attack wljlch gave him the win. Lyons won his first fall In 35 min utes by socking Chick to the floor and clamping the leg - strap on Bobby's left underpinning. Chick was forced to pat the mat in agony.' Coming back for the third and de ciding tumble, both forgot scientific maneuvers as they hammered at each other, pulled hair, gouged eyes and cut up In general. With his left leg stiu crumbly, Chick managed to stay clear of the Joplln Ghost for 14 minutes, but finally Lyons got him. Chick hoisted the red-head aloft for another spin, but so weak was his left leg that he oouldn't cut the mustard. He fell to the carpet with Lyons on top, and tho Ghost, always an opportunist, scrambled off and applied the strap. Chick hollered "when," and It waa all over. Time was 88 minutes. The Black Secret, dirtier than over, took falls In the fourth and fifth rounds from Tony Oarlbaldl In an other great match. Oarlbaldl won the first tumble In the second heat with a surfboard, but the masked bad man evened the score In the fourth with a combination hammer lock and back-breaker, and ended things In the fifth with anothor back-broaker. Lefty Pacer and Floyd Brltt, mak ing their first appearances in Mrd- iora, staged an alloy-brawl In the opener, with each arabblnn one turn. ble. Both were supposed to bo scien tific performers and Pacer was, but un turned out to be the rankest or viuains. He consistently broke Pacer's arms over the ropes, and won the first fall In the third round with the painful maneuver, followed by a bodr slam. Pacer, an excellent wrestler and packing a real kick In hla southpaw mitt, started slugging in the fifth oanto and wound up by smashing Brltt out of the picture with a series of aonnrnbergs and a flylug tackle.

You could mention the excellent, pitching, the terrific hitting J power, the hus tie, spirit and dash of the team In general as be Ing vitally lm portant reasons, Uly Rales snd you would ' not be wrong. All those factors have combined to produce one grand semi-pro ball team. But, one contribution slightly overlooked and overshadowed by the long-distance clouting of "murderer's row" and the fine hurling of Bill Rathke and Ray Erlckson, Is the matter of that Crater Infield, and more particularly the double-play combination of Dick Lewis at short and Manager Wally Rlckert at sec ond. That a team Is no stronger de fcnslvely than Its keystone duo Is an old and well-proved baseball axiom. Although a good defense, of course, Is not so important as i high-powered offense,. It la of suf ficient value to be an absolute nec essity In a pennant winner. And the Craters have It. Ho f a r this seaso n , In t h rec exhibition and two Southern Oregon league encounters, the .Medford' Infield has clicked off seven douhlf killing)). And while that record may not compare with the number of double plays pulled by professional clubs, we are rifling up to Inform that for a hush league outfit It Is really knocking them over two at a time. And paste this In your hat the Craters will come up with twice-us ninny two-ply putmits as any other dull In the circuit. Six of those double plays were made the hard way, with three men handling the ball perfectly. There Is a vast 'difference In double kill ings; spenrlng a line drive and doubling somebody off base, for In stance. Is a lot easier than taking a bounder, throw! ng to second for a forceout, and then relaying the onion to first In time to get the batter. In the first Insance. only two men handle the ball and there Is no baserunner steaming Into sec ond with the Intention of breaking up a throw, in the latter maneuver, every action of at least two players must be In perfect coordination, there can be no ball-Juggling, and two throws must bo perfect. As before stated, six of Medford's double plays have seen the ball handled by three men, and five of them were turned In by the second base combination. Against Belting ham, Lewis started one. with Rlckert the pivot man. and Rlckert started the other, with Lewis relaying the ball to Lowell Brown on first. The Craters went double-play less against the Klamath Palls Red Sox, but against Hilt they pulled off another, with Lewla firing to Rlckert and Rlckert to Brown. Then, against Ashland In the league opener, Rlckert Inaugurated another, and Lewis and Brown did their part to perfection. The fifth twin killing put on by t'-c keystone 'It beats all how quick that does The sheriff's right! Just about the shortest line there is between you and your objective the inn where you'd like to stop tonight, or the re sort where those big fish are said to be waiting is a telephone line! For accommodations, for a meeting with friends, for saving time and miles telephone ahead! THE PACIFIC TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY U. tfh Mirrl. I'hone KM combination was last Sunday In the Orants Pass game, with Rlckert again starting things. Twice more In the same battle the Craters came up with baseball's greatest defensive maneuver, with the exception of that rare bird, the triple play. Arba Ager on third started one, shooting It to Rlckert who whammed it to Brown. And Brown started the only one of the seven In which less than three men participated, when he snared a grounder down the first base line, stepped on first retiring the batter, and then threw to Lewis who tagged the baserunner coming from first. Ask any pitcher what he'd rather see his teammates do for him, defensively, and he'll have only one answer "get a pair." The double play has throttled more dangerous batting rallies and pulled hurlers nut of more holes than all other defensive gestures put together. You ran talk about your rut-off throws with a runner on third, stealing the opposing flubs hit-and-run and squeeze hlgns, position play for certain hitters and In certain situations, and alt the rest of the general run of defensive tactics, but there Ms nothing like the good old double play. Lewis and Rlckert work together beautifully. It's no exaggeration to state they aro by far the neatest at the double-play ..business., in., the league. After playing alongside each other all last year, they know In stinctively what the other Is going to do, and how; they have the ut most confidence In each other, which Is tremendously Important. They both possess good arms and both get that bal away without undue fid dling around. They'll save Crater pitchers & lot of embarrassment be fore the season Is over, wait and see.

WHEAT CROP NEED TO CUT SPOKANE, Wash., May 17. (IP) Agricultural leaders and wheat grow, era were told today by George B. Parrell, director of the western di vision of the AAA, "It takes a great amount of courage to face the situ ation" of the nation's predicted 1038 bumper wheat crop. "Figures from 1030, eve of the great price collapse," he told ap proximately 160 eastern Washington agriculturists, "run a discouraging parallel to the wheat totals building up for 1038. The problem facing American wheat growers thla rail likely will be to adjust their oper ations to bring the acreage from 80, 000.000 down to 50.000.000 acres." "The wheat producer must decide for himself whether he will plunge blindly on, harvesting a crop of 1. 150,000,000 bushels from 80,000,000 acres," Parrell added. 'The area seed ed this year la about 13,000.000 acres larger than In 1032. when we pro duced our largest crop. "There Is no question but what the total supply In 1938 will be far In excess of the domestic demand. There la no question but what the total supply will require the government to make a loan this year." ' I Jiiilgp's t'other Klned PAINESVILLE. Ohio. (UP) C. P Baker, whose son Charles P. Baker.
