Phone 50 Crescent City sounded the death knell to Medford'a Southern Oregon league first-half pennant hopea yes. terdsy afternoon at the high school park by defeating the Craters, 7 to 8, In a dramatic, blttcrly-fought 13 Inning struggle before the largest crowd In yoara. Last season's champions won out ln the 13th frame by scoring three runs to break a 4-all deadlock. With two mates aboard, Pinch-Hitter Ralph Deo slashed a triple Into right field and tallied, himself, when Perm drove a three-bagger to left. Fighting dcsperarely, the Craters came bsck In their hslf of the 13th to score twice, . Bob Smith smashed home run to left-center behind i single by Arba Agar, but the' all. Important tying tally waa not to be had. Brown grounded out and Sak raida fanned to end the Inning, and thus the circuit's first-half schedule waa brought to close here with what waa probably tha most thrilling en' counter In five years. Pltrhers Htage Duel For Medford'a Lowell Brown, big southpaw hurler, It waa a heart. breaker to lose. He and Lefty Mike Koll, Crescent City's brilliant young ster, waged a aensatlonal pitching duel over the entire route, but It was Brown who had the edge, atatla- tlcally. Tha Crater portalder fanned nine and walked only one, and until the 13th Inning allowed only eight htta. Koll whiffed five, gave up three bases on balla and waa nicked for 14 blowa all told. Brown gave up 11 safeties In his IS Innings of toll. Koll broke a sharp curva across the outside corner and used a beau tlful chsnge.of-pace ball to keep the Craters at bay for six Innings. He waa given a 1 to 0 lead In the fourth on Spann'a single to left, an error by Rlckert when he dropped Mc Lean's throw as Spann attempted to steal second, and Klrby'a hoist to Hoffard In right field, after which Spann crossed the plate when Hof fard'a throw-In waa handled by no body ln the Crater Infield. . For six framea the Craters suffered, and the way Koll waa pitching It looked like that lone run might be the business. But, In the seventh Medford unlesshed viciously, driving across four tallies on a quartet of solid base hits. McLean Shines at Bat Cliff McLean, who had a perfect day at the piste with four singles In four offlclsl trips, opened the seventh with his third strslght blow. Koll threw high to first bsse after fielding Lewla's bunt, and there were two on. Ager beat out a hit down the third base line, loading the bases, with none away." Hooeler Hoffard then blasted a triple to right-center, clearing the bags, and Bob Smith fol lowed with a single to center scoring Hoffard. Brown forced Smith at sec ond and Snkralda hit into a double play to end the Inning, but It looked like the ball game, anyway. 4 to 1, Medford. However, the Merchants came right back In the eighth Inning to score three tlmaa and send the battle Ipto extra Innings. Loffer got hit with a pitched ball and Farm singled. After Mataon fanned, Reynolds sin. gled to right scoring Loffer and advancing Perm to third. At this point occurred the "break" that really decided the ball game, and almost produced a riot among playera of both teams and an official protest of the encounter by Medford. Runner Is lilt With Perm on third and Reynolda on flrat, the latter lit out for second base on the pitch. Medford'a Brown cut off McLean's throw to second, whirled and lined the ball to Ager at third baae. Perm waa caught off the bag and trapped, so he started for the plate. Ager threw home, but the ball atruck Perm on the head or hand and rolled to the etands. Perm scored and Reynolds kept coming un til he, too, crossed the plate. Medford Insisted that Ferm had Interfered with the throw home by throwing up hla arma and getting a hand hit, while Crescent City claimed that the ball hit Perm on the head, and that there waa no Interference. Umpire Rosa, behind the plate, decided there waa no Interference and allowed both Perm and Reynolds to score, tlelng the game at 4 to 4. Medford pro tested the game at the time, but withdrew It later. From that Inning until the 13th. neither team could score. A Medford double play In the 10th pulled Brown out of a hole, with two men on base. In Medford'a half of the loth, Mc Lean singled but was out nt the plate trying to scoro on Lewis' double. In the 13th. Calvert doubled with two away, and Koll used hla head as It turned out by Intentionally walking McLean to get at Lewis, who popped out. Koll (lets One lilt Brown, after pitching great ball for 12 Innings, tired In the thirteenth. Klrby went out on a fly to Rlckert. Koll, who waa leading the league In hitting until the game, got his first safety a double down the third base foul line. Sakralda dropped Miller's looper ln short center after a hard run. and Manager Roy Deo of Cres cent City sent his brother, Ralph. In to bat for Howe. Deo hit hla payoff triple and two runs scored. Loffer reached first on a fielder's choice as Ager threw out Deo at home, then Perm whammed his triple to left scoring Loffer, and that waa the ball game, Ferm was out at the plate trying to stretch his blow Into a homer. Loffer, Merchsnt shortstop, wss car. rled from the field In the 13th after fielding Brown's hopper and throw ing him out at first. The ball hit him In the groin, but the Injury was not serious. Besides McLean, Hoffard got four hlta for the Craters, including a double and triple. Reynolda hit three singles for Crescent City. Pntton Honored The ball game was dedicated by to Cratera to Owney Patton, beloved old-time player who passed away Fri day, and tha huge crowd stood silent for one minute to pay him homage before the encounter started. Tha foot race between Medford'a Billy Calvert and Crescent City's Ed Matson and the accuracy-throwing contest for outfielders and catchers waa cancelled because of the late starting time of the game. No league games are billed for next Sunday, the second-half opening July 10.

THE PACIFIC TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY W. 6th Street Phone 1720 DIESEL TRACTORS Making 1U moat Important and boldest lor ward step since It Intro duction of Diesel. powered tractors In 1931, Caterpillar Tractor Co. an nounced on June 20, 1938, liberal re duction ln Its lino of track-type trac tors and Diesel engines. This, according to Tom Wray of the i Hubbard-Wray company, which nan- dies the sales of "Caterpillar" ma- ' chines ln this locality, Is the best ! news that has come to power users In recent years. The reductions In the tractor Una affect all sizes except the Twenty-Two, the price of which had already been reduced several weeks earlier. The acclaim with which that announcement was receiv ed encouraged the company to make similar reductions in the prices of other of t( product, affecting alx of ine eigni current sizes or "Caterpil lar" Diesel engines. Since the formation of Caterpillar Tractor Co. in 1925, Mr. Wray, ex plains, It has adhered to the policy of building ever better products at ever lower prices. Prior to the Intro duction of Diesel engines and Diesel powered tractors in 1931 repeated downward revisions of prices had been made, passing on to users the benefit of Increased sales and the consequent economies of larger-scile production. With the Introduction of tha Diesel, ths company entered Into a program of engineering and production development, revUlon of manufacturing facilities and erection of new buildings that Involved the expenditure of millions of dollars. Completion of the "Diesel lea tion" program opened the way for again passing on to users the benefits of lower prices, rn addition, the com pany reduced it profit margins ln order that the strongest possible bid might be made for Increased busi ness with price reductions that would extend the advantages of Diesel power to a greatly Increased number of users. The reductions ln prices, placing "Caterpillar"' products well below those of other track-type tractors and Diesel engines of comparable size, are a step to further Increase 'Cater pillar's" leadership In these fields. The move has been greeted with equal enthusiasm by dealers, who see I In it an Incentive to more buying activity, and by employes, who wel come the assurance that more sales volume means more employment. 1 BROTHERS TIRE E Two brothers Willis, lfl, and James Thompktns. 14 were objects of a search by state police and Cali fornia authorities todsy, following Information received from their uncle, James Haskina of 1075 Court street, that they had run away from home shortly after midnight last night.
