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.

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

looper ln short center after a hard
run. and Manager Roy Deo of Cres
cent City sent his brother, Ralph. In

Ager threw out Deo at home, then

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.

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
