Local fans are especially Interested
In the reappearance of La Morten

Pass to give the Merchants a 4 to 0
shutout victory over. Medford's Cra
ters, and catapult hla club Into a
first-place deadlock with the locals
and Crescent City In the terrific first
half Southern Oregon league pennant
raoe.
Crescent City defeated Olendalo at
Crescent City, 6 to 3. to throw the
chase Into a three-way tie, with the
trio of leaders having five wins and
two losses. The first half ends next
Sunday, with Crescent City playing
at Medford and Oronta Pass traveling
to Yreka.
The Craters never had a chance as
Crlppen, an ex-Clnclnnatl Red hurler
shoved h la need le -sharp hook a nd
whistling fast one across the corners
with deadly effectiveness. He fanned
only three, but the Med fords were
popping up or hitting In the dirt all
afternoon, and managed to advance
only one runner as far as third base.
Bill Rathke, Crater righthander,
hurled the first six Innings and was
tagged for 7 safeties and three runs.
Southpaw Lowell Brown worked the
last two frames and wax touched for
three -blows and one tally.
Chances Go Glimmering
Medford's only chances to score
came In the second and sixth Innings
when they got their four hits. In
the second, Hoffard singled to right,
and after McLean filed out, Calvert
beat out a hit to second base. Hof
fard went to third on Ager's Infield
out, but Bob Smith grounded out to
retire the side. With two gone In the
sixth, Rlckert and Lewis singled, but
Howerton took Hoffard 's smash to
force Rlckert at third. In all other
Innings, the Craters were throttled
completely by the Merchant ace.
Grants Pasa got Us Initial run In
the third when Roll, on base on
fielders choice, stole second and
scored when Calvert dropped Hower
ton's vicious smash to center.
The Merchants unleashed a vigor
ous attack on Rathke In the sixth,
five straight hlta accounting for two
runs. Howerton started It with
double to left, the only extra-base hit
of the game, went to third on Dro
lette'a single to right, and tallied on
Ostrom's single to right center. Crlp
pen singled Infield, and Blacksmith
rifled a single to right counting
Drolette.
Get Two at Plate
Here occurred one of the freakiest
double plays seen in the circuit In
years. After Blacksmith hit his liner
scoring Drolette, Ostrom and Crlppen
also attempted to reach the plate on
the blngle. Calvert picked up the
ball in center field and lined it back
to the Infield. Bob Smith cut off the
throw and relayed It to Chief Mc
Lean, and the Indian catcher tagged
out Ostrom and Crlppen as they
came steaming Into the plate about
15 feet apart.
Final Grants pass marker came In
the eighth off Brown, when Hower
ton singled and scored on Drolette'
single, Calvert'a throw-In from the
outfield hitting Howerton on the leg
he went Into third base, and
bounding away.
Circus Catches Seen
Both clubs came up with several
fielding gems. MedfoM especially.
Bob Smith made a great one-handed
catch of a foul fly, McLean caught
two foul balls up against the grand
stand that were beauts, and Sakraida,
In left field, came up with a spectac
ular putout on a long drive down
the foul line.

Fight prognost tea tors the country
over may be thinking themselves
dizzy in an attempt to put the finger
on the winner of tie Joe Louis-Max
Schmellng heavyweight brawl In
Yankee stadium
next Wednesday
night, but the
stars and plan
eta, absolutely
have It all
figured out.
Aatrolog
Ically speaking,
the German chal
lenger will "be
come the first
heavyweight 1 n
modern fight
history to regain
his world chom-
shlp; he will
knock out the Brown Bomber In I
either the fourth or seventh heat
or, falling In that, will positively win
the decision In 15 rounds.
Such Is the prediction of C. G.
Ma uk, local astrologlst, after care
fully analyzing the respective horo
scopes of Joe and Max. Maak claims
to have correctly forecast the out
come of the last IB heavyweight
championship embrogllos. Including
the upset KO Schmellng handed
Louis two years ago and the Louts
decision over Tonypandy Tommy
Farr last summer. Maak wes In Eu
gene at the time of the latter fight,
and hns a copy of the Eugene, Dally
News In which Is printed his before
hond prediction that the battle
would go 15 rounds, with Louis win
ning the decision, which it did, and
which Louis did. So, maybe the as
trologer has really got something.
Ruth, back In harness again as coach
of the Brooklyn Dodgers. He took
the Job Saturday at el 3,000 for the
rest of the season, appeared on the
baselines yesterday and Immediately
! regained his old spot as the main
i attraction on the ball field.
The young fellow la Cincinnati's
remarkable Johnny Vander Meer,
who couldn't make it three no-hitters
in a row; but. came close enough
to give the Boston Bees a good
scare when he let them down with
four blows to win. 14-1.
It was the Babe some 28.000
Brooklyn fans were out to see. But
they also saw a couple of good ball
games as Glenn Press nell's flinging
and a slugging spurt that must have
made the old Yankee clouter feel
right at home, gave the Dodgers a
6-3 opening triumph over the Chi
cago Cubs.
Vander Meer. who pitched two
consecutive hltlesa games, finally
was touched in the fourth inning
yesterday when Debs Onrms singled.
He made a new National league rec
ord of 31 2-3 consecutive no-hlt
Innings. Just short of Cy Young's
major league mark of 23 that has
stood since 1904. And he went 32
Innings before he was scored upon.
Anyway, whether you believe
In (his star business or not,
.Mask's prognostication should be
as nccurute as most of them, and
more so than the majority of
predictions ns released by sports
writers, notoriously the world's
lousiest plekslcrs.
Here is what Maak says regarding
the fight, after reading th horo
scopes of the fighters and setting up
charts for each:
' "First, I earefully analyzed each
separate chart from the standpoint
of native intelligence, as wen as
physical prowess and the staying
quality of each contestant. Next, I
set up a chart for the exact time of
the fight which, as near as I could
learn, was scheduled for 10 o'clock
eastern daylight saving time. The
last mentioned chart shows that the
18th Scorpion will be on the mid-
heaven at the beginning with 2347
Capricorn on the ascendant.
"Now serologically, these two
points are of the utmost Importance,
the mldhcaven, especially, since here
the honors are won or lost. The
winning depends, astrologically, on
who has the best aspects at this
point In the horoscope. Each four
minutes, a new degree appears on the
mldhcaven, which corresponds in
fighting to one complete round.
"Now, watch closely. Towards
the last hair of the fourth round,
Louis will be knocked down, and
perhaps It mrans KO for him
right then. If not, he will rally
for the next three rounds, and
then when the flRht U seven
rounds old. Srhmellng will finish
him. Should something happen
to prevent this, and nothing Is
shown In the chart that It will,
then Louis will have a new lease
on life, for nothing of Import
ance will take pluce until the ,
sign on the nildheaven changes I
to Sncltarhis, and this takes
place In (he 12th round. Louis
has two chances to win now, if
he has the strength left. Falling
to make ue of It here In the
Nth. Max will take all the Initia
tive from him and win the fight
on points.

light burned eerily through much
of last night.
At Olendlve, 80 miles northeast
of Miles City, the sheriff's office said
a woman's body hed been taken from
the Yellowstone river into which
Custer creek flows.
Of the 65 or more Injured who
were taken Into Miles City in a
hospital train yesterday, 30 remained
In a h capital today, two of them
critically Injured. One unidentified
man's back was broken.
Tell Tragic Tales
At the hospital, and at the Miles
City morgue where relatives came to
claim their dead, stories of tragedy
and of heroism were told by the
survivors.
Ten-year-old Anne Lad as, whose
mother was dead and whose father
was missing, related how she tried
desperately to keep her mother's
eat above the swirling water.
When the mother, Mrs. Thomas
Ladas, fainted from shock, the small
girl grabbed her hair and held her
head above water for several minutes.
Anne's brother, 9-year-old George,
suffered a broken arm. Unable to
comprehend the tragedy, he kept
crying, "I want my mamma and
daddy."
'But you haven't any mamma and
daddy any more," the boy's sister tried
bravely to explain. The family was
en route home to Belllngham, Wash.,
from a visit to Greece.
Porter In Heroic Role
A Negro porter on the train, Lew
Williams, was credited by survivors
with pcsslbly saving several lives by
calmly directing passengers out of
his car.
One of the cars teetered on the
creek bank several minutes before It
slid Into the water with the others.
Seven Milwaukee railroad employes
who knew Custer creek as a ravine
that usually carried no more than
"a bucket of "water," were riding the
Olympian as passengers. They Joined
U-egular trainmen m helping out the
, Survivors, and two of them tele
phoned first news of the tragedy to
Miles City.
Mike Cain and Ed Hamm, brake
men, crawled over the twisted pile
of steel cars, made their way to
Sang us, a small station, and tele
phoned for help.
William Shearer, veteran Milwaukee
engineer, said the railroad men were
"chewing the fat" in the first day
ccach when the crash occurred.
Never Flooded Before
"I tluu-.t w were Just on the
ground at first," Shearer said. "Then
I realized we were in water and I
said, 'Boys, we're in the old Yellow
stone' "It was a few minutes before I
found cut it was Custer creek. Why,
I've put a train over these tracks
thousands of times, and I never saw
more than a bucket of water In that
creek at once," Shearer said.
"Well, we all crawled out of our
coach. It was hard to see much.
The mall, express, and baggago cars,
which were between us and the loco
motive, were plied up every which
way.
"We crawled along the pile Ilka
monkeys, wondering how anyone
could be alive.
"Cain and Hamm were the first
to get out on the bank They went
to Saugus and telephoned for help.
Then Chris McGee he was the con
ductor of the train end I got out.
"We all crawled bock over Uh
wreckage again I knew the boyi la
the engine must be dead. We saw a
woman Jump out of s window she
smashed. She floated down against
the pile of wreckage and I think she
must have drowned.
Husband Yelled for Help
"Her husband yelled for us to help
her, but It was no use.
"The other men In our group
there were Henry Shipley, fireman;
Chauncey Tarbox, conductor; Jerry
Clifford, engineer; and John Um
hoefer, retired conductor were all
"deadheading" It to their homes In
Miles City.
"They helped the people get ou
of the cars, but It was bad going,
Shearer said.
Shearer said Frank Uerrlfleld, en
gineer of the train, wa "one of the
best men that ever handled a locomotive.
The locomotive leaped the bridge
gap with such speed that It landed
on the west bank of the creek, carry
ing Engineer Mcrrlfteld and Fireman
H. E. McCoy with It.
Ellla Lund and Thomas Thoreton
of Dawson, Minn., together helped
"18 to 20"" persons from another car.
"It was like a dream. I hardly
know how I gst out," Lund said
later. He and Thoreson were In the
smoking car, one end of which was
crushed between two coaches la the
creek bed.
"The first I knew It was as If we
were going through air' Thoreson
related.
"Then there was a terrible bump.
I didn't know what happened. Tha
water started pouring in.j People In
the other part of the oar screamed
and fought to get out," Thoreson
said.
Recovery Hampered
Two wreckers sent to the scene
were unable last night to drag out
the submerged tourist sleeper b
causo of the depth of the flood water.
Most of the survivors and some of
the less seriously Injured continued
westward yesterday on trains leaving
Miles City.
The Holy Rosary hospital at Miles
City, to which the injured were
taken. Is an 83 -bed hospital and
doctors reported adequate facilities
for caring for the victims. Approxl
matel half the 63 brought In on the
hospital train were released after
em:igency treatment.
The wrecl: was the first on the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
lines In 20 years that cost a pas
senger's death,
H. 11. Kester, advertising manager
of the Miles City, Mont., Star, said
the cloudburst that swept away the
steel and concrete bridge was of
"unprecedented proportions."
Kester went to the scene by air
plane as soon as he heard the first
report of the tragedy early yesterday.
"Viewed from the air It was as
though some great foroe had set
about to scramble effectively the
(rain and create every possible haz
ard for Its load of humanity, and
at the same time select a spot where
aid was almost entirely impossible,
Kester said.
