Medford, Roseburg Legion Juniors Play Twin Bill Here Sunday FOR OPPORTUNITY IN STATE F Visitors Already One Up On Locals in Three -Game Series Medfordites Are Well Groomed for Test Lefty Grove's Arm Dead Mound Days May Be Done By HID FEDEB (Aaoclited Preaa Sports Writer.) They bad lean Lefty Orovo In a hospital today with a "dead arm," and the rumor itarted the rounds that Old Moae may not pitch any more thla year. Of course, there's no definite word American Legion Junior baseball, for the first time In six years, takes Its place In the Medford sports plc . ture Sunday afternoon at the high school parte. Clashing In a double-header, cll- max of the three-game series to decide the championship of this dla - t trlct and right to enter the state finals at Wood burn In August, will be the powerful Douglas county title-holders from .Roseburg and Coach George Harrington's Jackson county American Legion Junior team. Roseburg won the opening game at Roseburg last Sunday. The first game of the twin-bill nine-inning affair, will start at 1:30 sharp. Second battle will begin after a 15 -minute Intermission following completion of the opener, and will be seven Innings. One victory for the Douglas county club will clinch the series and right to enter the state finals, while the Jackson county team must sweep the two games to cop the series. v Wittier Opening Choke Coach Harrington said ho- would send Al Wlmer, slender left-hander. against Roseburg In the opening encounter, while Bill Reed would toe the slab In the nightcap. Herb Botta will do the receiving in both games. Remainder of the Jackson county outfit, which has practiced nteadlly for the past two months, will see Larry Schade on first bnse. Jimmy Lewis on second, Eugene Mil ler at third, BUI Reed at short In the first game and Al Oould holding down that post In the second battle. Dale Howard In left field, Cato Wray in center and Bob Newland In right. Harrington said that Mickey Miller ' would probably see action In the seven Inning game In rlghtfleld, and Louie Thurman on first base In the same game. -. . This year's Jackson county Amerl- i can Legion Junior team, first organ ized here since 1032, Includes three pill 88w f yet that the greatest southpaw of his generation la on the shelf, and first reports from physicians Indicated things may not be as bad as first suspected. But when a pitching arm, particularly a 38-year-old pitching arm. can't even hold a ball. Jet alone fire it across, you can look for al most anything, It would be the toughest kind of a break for Lefty, for Tom Yawkey and, most of all, for the Boat on Red Sox, If the ailing soupbone that sent the great Qrove to the hospital yes terday should keep him on the side lines. Grove, with his fast one gone but his pitching "brains" working better than ever, seemed headed for one of the . greatest campaigns In his 14- year career. Yesterday's 12-1 wallop ing the Sox handed the Detroit Ti gers was the portslder's ;4th win of- the season, even though Jackie Wilson had to finish. With rlie cam paign Just about half over, and Lefty showing no signs of letting us. It's reasonable to assume he might have won 36 games, which, they'll tell you, Is fair to mlddlln' flinging Zt was positively weird the way It happened yesterday. There was Lefty, going along great, tossing shut out ball. All of a sudden, In the fifth Inning, hla salary wing folded There was no muscular reaction. He couldn't even grip the ball. "I've never had such an experi ence before." he related, .iiforward Physicians wouldn't even hazard an opinion until, as they explained, they completed long diagnosis and ex tensive x-ray examination. , Junior high athletes, six from Med ford senior high and two from St. Mary's high. Wrsy, Miller and Thur man Attended Junior high last year, Schade and Lewis are from St. Mary's, and high school athletes are Botta, Wlmer, Miller, Howard, New land and Gould. Hoys Work Hard The youngsters, all under 18 years of age. hove showed , tremendous enthusiasm all season, practicing three times a week under the coach ing of George Harrington. Many of them are certain to develop into real bnseball stars, their mentor says. With members of the team can vassing the town selling tickets to the double-header, and with local fans anxious to once again see the best of the county's young unse- ballers In action, a huge crowd Is expected. It will be the local team's first and only appearance In town this season. f HELSfNGFORS SEEN FAVORED SITE FOR OLYMPICS IN 1940 Pi LEFTY nTi in i mm ThTi 'Frisco Puts in Bid SAN FRANCISCO.

Baseball Is a costly business, what with uni forms, balls, bats and other equip ment vital ne cessities. And. nobody . yet has Invented a man ner of obtaining said paraphernalia except by purchasing it with genu ine United states money. There is no need to make more than passing mention of the Im portance American " Legion Junior baseball plays In the perpetuation and development of the national pastime. Millions of words have been written on the subject, and they are all true. Without the slightest doubt, the American Legloj Junior baseball movement is the greatest thing ever done to keep tne game alive, because it operates among the youth of the nation- instilling In Angeles In 32 and at Berlin In '36.

Thjy have proved definitely that they want to play baseball, that bascbali Is still the one game, so far as they are concerned.

(8) Even the mast proficient swim mers are admonished to be extreme ly careful in the surf and to swim along the beach and not away from it. (9) Long-distance swimmers are cautioned about the necessity of being accompanied by a properly manned and properly equipped boat.
