The score was tied at 4-all last
night when Arnold State, second
place Los Angeles centerftelder, who
has been playing baseball for some
20 years In big and little leagues,

Dutch Lleber had singled before
him. Statz smashed a two-bagger
and Lleber came home with the run
that gave the Angels a ft to 4 win
over the Senators.
In their half of the 13th the Sen
ators got Johnny Verges on base.
Conterflf lder Ray Dlefenbach cracked
a scorcher Into centerflold with three
bases written on the cover. Again
Statz came to the rescue and snared
the seeming sure hit on the dead
run and the game was over.
Paced by Freddie Muller and Levi
McConnock, who smashed four hits
each In five times at bat, Seattle
overcame an early lead to defeat tho
Hollywood Stnrs, 6 to 3.

vision by beating them, 6 to 3.

which
players ofvhloh
clubs are tops In
their respective
positions. It was
strictly an infor
mal conlab, of
course, but the
air got pretty
m u o h churned
up as everybody
had a crack at
picking his
mythical outfit,
none of which
were identical
with any of the
others. About
the only two positions the boys all
agreed on were shortstop and right
field. It was unanimously believed
that Ted Schopf, Ashland's hard
hitting and great-fleldlng shortstop,
was aces at his post, and that Paul
"Hoosler" Hoffard, Medford's "grsnd
old man," was the class of right
gsrdeners.
Arguments waxed hot and heavy
over the catching spot, with Med
ford's Cliff "Chief" McLean and Al
Drolette, Orants Pass receiver, tab
bing most of the vocal ballots,
Yreka's Colt, after his grt exhi
bition here Sunday In picking two
men off second base and catching
another stealing, was not far behind,
but it was finally agreed that Mc
Lean, because of his all-around abtl
Ity. should be considered the cir
cuit's number one backstop.
First base was also bitterly con
tested. Bob Smith of Medford had
his supporters and Leonard Patter
son of Ashland had his, with the
result thst, after a long-drawn-out
squabble, Patterson was awarded the
Initial cushion. Principally because
of a better throwing arm and better
work at the plate.
In the absence of any really out
standing second baseman, Les Avery,
Olendale shortstop, was shifted to
that position. Being one of the best
hitters in the loop and certainly one
of the best lnflelders, he couldn't be
left off, even though Schopf was
considered tops at shortstop. Third
base furnished a alight amount of
argument, with Shelton of Yreka and
Ager of Ashland running neck and
neck for awhile before Shelton's su
perior batting punch proved the de
ciding factor. Shelton played aecond
base for the Callfornlans here Sun-
dsy. but third Is his regular position.
For the other two outfield berths
with Hoffard. the concensus was that
Reynolds of Crescent City, Chuck os-
trum of Orants Pass (on his good
days), Tommy White of Medford and
Melvln McCarthy of Orants Pass were
tho other pasture aces, with little to
choose among them. White, of course,
was tabbed the best of the lot In the
games he has played, which Is only
four.
The hoys named two pitchers,
mid with no hesitation Mike
Koll at Crescent city and Lowell
Rrown of Medford. both of whom
have dropped only one game this'
year. Steve Crlppen. urattt Pass,
and (Hen Klllott, tllendale, also
were noted as being better than
the nveragc run of semi-pro hurl
era, but It was Rrown and Koll
elevated to the top.
