'V
TO
UPHELDBYACTION
Umpire's Decision Accepted
in Medford Controversy
With Sea Coast Team
No Alternative Is Seen
Protests lodged by the Medford
Craters and Grants Peaa Merchants
of games played June 38 were denied
last night by a vote of Southern
Oregon baseball league directors,
meeting In the Orsnta Pass Cham
ber of Commerce.
Aa a result of the directors' action.
Crescent City became official first
half champions, and Medford and
Grants Pass finished In a tie for
aeoond place.
The Medford protest, growing out
of Its 0 to 7 loss In 13 Innings to
Orescent CVy In the first-half finale,
waa denied when the league directors
trpf'-eld the decision of Umpire Ross
that Crescent city's Perm, scoring
from fhlrd base In the seventh
Inning, had not Intentionally Inter
fered with a throw to the plate, and
that Reynolds, who scored from
eeoond base as the ball was deflect'
d to the stands, was within Ills
basa-runnlng rights as no Crescent
Olty playera were gathered Illegally
atrounri home plate, as alleged In the
Medford protest. Umpire Rosa tcatl
fled that the ball hit Perm on the
head and that no Crescent City
players were Illegally on the playing
field wuen Reynolds, after stealing
seoond on the play, continued on
until he crossed with the tying run.
Medford, In its protest, alleged
that Perm threw his hands above
Ma head, striking the ball and de
flecting It away from Catcher Cliff
McLean, and that Reynolds sHou'.d
Dot be allowed to score because of
Crescent City players gathered at
borne plate.
The Grants Pass protest alleged
that, In Its game with Treka, a
Yreka batter waa not called out
when he stepped across the plate
to attempt a squeeze play with a
runner coming In from third base.
It was brought out at the meeting
tf'.at the umpire had called the base
runner out, according to the rules.
Treka and Glendale were not rep
reaented at the meeting. Represent
ing Medford was Lowell Brown, sub
stituting for Manager Wally Rlckert
who was unable to attend. Grants
Pass waa- officially represented by
Manager jud Pernoll, end Orescent

reaentlng Ashland, and Austin Pro
cter or Medford, lesgua secretary.

ident, presided.
In rendering their decision on the
Medford protest, the directors made
11 clear they had no other alterna
tive tf.an to take Umpire Rosa" word
for It that Perm didn't Interfere with

On Corona Foothills Lemon Co. Ranch at Corona, California,
a veteran 35 h.p. "Caterpillar" Diesel Tractor has piled up a
total of over 18,000 hours of hard work. Today, it is still
going strong, working 10 hours a day In a 1.000-acre grove.
How much is 18,000 hours? Most of ns think of engine life in terms
of miles traveled. For example. If you had driven your automobile
100,000 miles even over the smooth highways of today, you would
consider it a faithful veteran, ready for retirement... Let's figure
this 18,000-hour tractor's performance in terms of auto mileage. At
only 30 miles an hour, your car would travel 540,000 miles in 18,000
hours certainly a rare performance.
Yet many "Caterpillar" Dealers' files contain records of satisfied
owners who have operated their tractors ten, fifteen, even twenty
thousand hours records that prove the advantnges of manufacturing
methods learned in "Caterpillar's" 33 years' experience building
track-type tractors. They are advantages you can prove in your own
grove. Have your "Caterpillar" Dealer give you additional facts.
