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.

Crater Infield
Shows Class in
Double Killings
There are any number of reasons
why our Craters, already being tab
bed by red-hot local fans as the
classiest Medford
ball club tn 10
years, are perch
ad atop the
Southern Oregon
league heap. 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

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

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." '
