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.

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.
Pace Setters Henry Ptcard and
Jimmy Hlnes teed off In an easier
frame of mind than many of their
nve-star compatriots. Each knocked
out a first-round 70.
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.
Harry Cooper was not any too woll
off. starting off with a 76.
Five Important men in the divot

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,
