PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, AtEDFOTtD. OREGON. FRIDAY. JUNE 10. 193R. Ashland Will Invade Crater Bailiwick Sunday- for Crucial Battle In Timber Togs G Visitors Reinforced by Col lege Players Grants Pass to Journey to Cres fc cent Glendale at Yreka Where They Play Bundajr. Ashland at Mr d ford. Grants Pan at Crescent City. Glendale at Yreka. Southern Oregon league'! bitter first-half pennant race will produce three crucial battles Sunday, with the trio of first division clubs swing ing desperately In an attempt to remain In the wild, "toss-up" stretch drive. Med ford and Grants Pass, tied for the lead with four wins and one loss, face Ashland and Crescent City, respectively, and from past perform ances our Craters appear to have the post position. Tied with Yreka for the bottom rung with one victory In five starts, Ashland apparently hasn't what It takes to halt the Med fords . In their pennant surge, but neither did Yreka two weeks ago and the score was 12 to 8, Yreka. Taking no chances on the possibility of an other upset, Manager wally Rick ert said today that Lowell Brown, big lefthander who has allowed only one run In 10 Innings, wilt do tho Medford pitching against the Llth lans. It will be Brown's first start before a home-town audience. Opposing the Medford ace will' probably bo either Clay Lewis, six foot, six Inch righthander, or Johnny Shonneker. Mannger Jack Bauld Jng's Ashland club has been strength ened by the acquisition of Pat Pat terson. Oregon State college first baseman, and Al Simpson, University of Oregon catcher. And the Llth lans are seething with the desire to get revenge for the bad trouncing they took from the Craters In the league opener. -They are plenty dan gerous. Grants Pass travels to Crescent City, but unliko Medford, the Cli mate city club must face a team only one game out of first place and red-hot after the pennant. Cres cent City, In second position with three wins and two losses, will start Lefty Mike Koll on the rubber, while Manager JUd Pernoll of Grants Pass will send Steve Crippen, undefeated righthander, to the box for his team. Olcndnle, winners of two grimes and losers of three for third place, must beat Yreka Sunday to retain a fighting chance at the flag. Merle jaiinm will pitch tor the Loggers; Bennett for the CsJlfornJans. After Sunday, only two games win remain In the first-half race. A defeat for any of the three leaders at this time will mean probable cur tains so far as pennant aspirations . aro concerned. .One of the year's largest crowds la expected to witness the Medford -Ashland encounter, bringing togother the most bitter rivals In the circuit. The Craters will work out this afternoon at the high school park, starting at 6 o'clock. Yes, It's Sockeye Jack MrDanald (uuove), ilrpffted anil ready to-nttaclf Rome tall (Inilicr.

Sick and Lellvclt have been keeping eagle eyes posted for any more of those fellows who might be running loose In the bush. It appears they have bagged an other such boy, or rather, a youngster whom they sincerely hope will turn Into a hurler of that calibre. He is Glenn Elliott, the sensational Myrtle Creek high school southpaw whoso chief bid for fnme this voti'- was a no-hlt, no-run game he pltcn ed to give his club the Douglas coun ty prep pennant.

PRJTCHETT STAGES M'DONALD, CHICK TO Games Tonight Division A Plche vs. Timber Products. 8 p. m. Jennings Tire vs. Catholic Men, 9 p. m. No Division B games. Roper, according to Frazler. has accused Glendale of attempting to entice the southpaw away from Grants Pass with an offer of a Job paying such and such an amount and so much do-re-ml per game, with a neat little bonus for every one he wliis Roper has appealed his case to presi dent of the league, Dom Provost of Ashland, and Secretary Frazler, ask ing them to prohibit Elliott from signing with any other circuit club because of the fact that he Is already listed on the Merchant raster and has already pitched for the Merchants Roper also oxplnlns that a Job I awaiting Elliott In Grants Pass when ever he appears to claim it. Provost and Frazler. after considering the matter, have Informed Glendale that Elliott must wait one month before seeing his first action with the Log gers.

(AP) Slightly groggy but still In there punching, golf's blgwlga and less noted members of the clan let loose their best shots today In another bout with par which brought the national open championship through the second round. When the bombardment ceased nearly two-thirds of the field was slated to takethat last long trek to the sidelines of-the biggest golf ing show of 1938. The 60 lew scorers and ties re mained to light It out In the last 36 holes tomorrow.

Plcard clubbed his sub-par effort Into the records with a 36-34. Hlnes reversed the figures for the same total. The opening favorite. Sam Snead of West Virginia, bobbed up with a aismal 77.

The big ftrst-sacker belted a homer and two triples In four trips to the plate as the sandwlchers landed on Don Montelth for 10 solid base smacks.

OF GRAPPLE LAKES OFFER BEST Sockeye Jack McDonald, slugging ex-logger from Seattle and Cowboy Dude Chick, world's Junior heavy weight champion, are both cooly confident of victory In their gigantic no-time-limit finish grappling match at the Medford armory next Mon day night. McDonald, who has twice battled the champion to rip-roaring draws, came out flatly with the statement that he would beat Chick "with right hand" if they battled to finish. The Cowboy, just as certain of winning, told Promoter Mack Lll lard he was confident he could spin Sockeye into oblivion If given enough time to set him up. 8o, both boys get their chance to prove their prognosticating ability Monday night as they go to the post for the third time. Their first bat tle, back In January, ended with neither able to obtain a tumble. The likes of that terrific match had never been seen before in Medford until last Monday night, when they again fought to a savage dead lock in 60 minutes. The second epic, however, saw each grab one fall, and the unanimous opinion among fans who witnessed the clash Is that it was the mightiest, toughest and most brutal exhibition of the game ever displayed here. In the middle event. Arm-Breaker Floyd Brltt will face Cy Fox of Ft. Worth. Texas, a clean and scientific newcomer, and in the opener. Black Secret, already unmasked twice, will attempt to keep his mask Intact against Tony Morreli of Michigan, another newcomer and reputedly a rough and tough customer. Toy Aho of Finland, a grappler. will act as third man In the ring as Earl Yoakley enjoys his first Monday night off In many months. promoter Ltllard said next week's card would not be "ladles night."

Mrs. Moody, who never took off her sweater and went to the net Just onoe. won the second, after trailing at 3-4.
