Homer by Bob Jennings Gives Boxers 1 - 0 Win to Tie Title Series DECIDING BATTLE IN DIVISION DUEL SLATED Tl Girls to Stage Preliminary at 8 o'clock Mighty Crowd Expected for Last Game of Bitter Conflict A oerfect otory of the "uniuni! hero" emerging from obscurity to have hi moment of glory wal revealM to a crowd of over 3.000 last night at the high echool stadium when Leftflelder Bob Jennings of Wooden Boimen. his irtar dimmed all season by more brilliant members of his team, belted a might home-run against the left centerfleld fence In the third Inning, to give the Boxers a sensational 1 to 0 victory over Tlm- ber Products and deadlock their soft ball series for the division A cham pionship t.t one game apiece. Third and deciding battle will be staged tonight starting at B o'clock. A preliminary between the Medford Marchents glrla" team and the Ward robe Cleaners of Grants Pass will be gin at 8 sharp. Pans are urged to get to the stadium early, as the larg est crowd In Medford Softball his tory Is expected. Pitchers In Command. Jennings' home-run, coming with one out and the hoses empty, broke up one of the moat thrilling pitchers' bnttles evor staged here. Esrl Dale, off whose fireball delivery the only run of the game was scored, gave up only five hits and fanned three, and with the exception of that one devastating basehlt he had the heavy hlttlng Boxers In the palm of his hand. Morris Stelner, Boxer hurlor. turn ed In an even more effective exhi bition. He allowed only two hits, both of them single by Perry. Tim ber Product leftflelder, and whiffed alx. He was never In serious danger of being scored upon, only two Tim ber Product batters reaching third base. Perry and BlUy Calvert, Timbor eenterflelder, never had a chance to lay a hand on Jennings' circuit blast. It was a line drive that landed on the red cinder running track, bound ed through the shrubbery and slam med against the board. When Cal vert finally picked up the ball, Jen nlng was rounding third, and he scored standing up. Hero of Hour. Until last night, Jennings was just the leftflelder of Wooden Boxmen. a guod, steady outfielder who went about his work with little fanfare and color. Now. he I the man of the hour. He batted only .376 In regular league action this year and was never considered a dangerous man at bat. Maybe Dale became a little careless when Jennlnga etepped up for his cuts from the left side of the plate: maybe he figured Jen nings didn't have such a hit in his system. Dale got one strike on him, then threw a fast one down the mid die. And, that was all Bob needed He swung from his hoels and the ball game was over. Manager Paul Hoffard hit a single. Otelner collected two singles and Or, val Hampel smacked a single for wooden Boxmen'a safeties off Dale, Aa before mentioned. Perry got Tim ber's two hits off Stelner. which made It a great night for leftflelder. Both teama gave their hurlera amarJng support In the field. Cal. vert made two great catches In cen terfleld for Timber Products and the entire Wooden Box club played sparkling defensive ball.

From all lndlca tlona, the crop In the Lake O Woods district will be good this year. The best berries aro up Blllle creek water shed and on the Brown mountain trail. "In the Butte Falls district fair crops are found at Oypsy Springs, Parker Meadows snd along the south fork of the Rogue river. The Blue Rock crop I reported very poor this year. T:e Union Creek district crop Is expected to be at its best about Aug ust 15. and to be fairly heavy on Huckleberry mountain. The old Huckleberry mountain rood Is closed due to construction but the new road from Union Creek Is open. It Is In good condition but steep. A few huckleberries are reported on the Umpqua river near Huckleberry lake. "Fishing In Klamath lake has been very good at Rocky Point and Har rtman lodge, yielding some fine catches of rainbow trout. Flui lake has been off and on. A few limit catchea were made Wednesday, al though many have caught but few eastern brook. Fourmlle lake is still yielding good catches of rainbow and silvcrsldcs by either flslng or troll ing, still fishing has been a little the better but some anglers have had poor luck. At Lake O' Woods It Is still easy to catch a good mess of perch, although bass fishing tins been a little slow. Hyatt lake Is still not very good; however, the water Is be doming lower which should make for good listing soon. "The upper Rogue river Is fair with some good catchea of fish being tak en. Foster and Minnehaha creckj havo yielded a few limit catchea but nailing there Is only fair.

PETE'S HOMECOMING MAY BE SAD AFFAIR BECAUSE OF SUM It's honv; ..itng for Dynamite Pete Belenstro next Monday night at the open nlr high school stadium, a homecoming that may prove Tar from Joyous for the Mad Italian frv Weed, Cal., and all his staunch nnd loyal supporters.

Promoter Mack Lillard, In sign Ing the husky ex-Seattle logger for the bout, waa fully aware of the poaM bill ties of Petes homecoming being spoiled by Sockeye. He knew that not a wrestler on the coast could make Belcastro's homecoming more unpleasant than could McDon ald. However, Inasmuch as Belcas tro. In several letters to the pro moter, requested that Ullnrd produce the toughest epponent available, there was nothing elv to do but get Sockeye's name on the dotted line.

IAN SHOOT A mystery baffling this word-mangier for some time Is why the base ball world looks upon Bran oh Rickey, major domo of the St. Lou Is Cardinals and their vast farm holdings as tha smartest hosa trader In the business. A bet ter name for Rickey would be the Santa Claus of the National league. At the present stage of the red hot pennant race In that loop, no less than three of the top four clubs are up there principally because guys who once performed for Rickey, either In St. Louis or at one of his links In the minor league chain, are playing ball U ko the dickens. And. the Car- dlnals-rwcll, If they drop a couple of more notches they'll be ninth In an olght-team circuit. Take the Pittsburgh Pirates, for Instance, leading the league by a matter of five gnmes or so. Johnny RI27.0, obtained from Columbus In the American Association, a Card farm, was leading the club In hit ting with an average of .316, accord ing to latest figures In the Sport ing News, and was recently named by Manager Pie Traynor as the main reason why the Bucs were on top. And then, there Is Bob Kllnger, a big pitcher Pittsburgh picked up from Sacramento In our own Coast circuit. He had won eight and lost two In the ' Sporting News' latest averages. Sacramento, of course you all know, is another double-A farm holding of the Cardinals. could tha Cards of today use a ,316 hlttlng outfielder to go with Ducky Med wick? you answer.

QtW 92.00 qt. risr Thr Off Matt Take the Chicago Cubs, battling along In third place within striking distance of the peak. Dizzy Dean Is the most noteworthy former Cardinal now with Wrigley's team, but there are others. Bill Lcc. the club's best winning pitcher with 11 and 6, came to the majors from the Cards' Co lumbus farm. Rip Collins, first base man, went direct from 8t, Louis to the Cubs, and Joe Marty, outfielder, was grabbed from Sacramento. A total of four players who are doing more than their part in keeping the Cubs In the race. Take Cincinnati's surprising Red, cellar champions last sea son nnd now In fourth place and nipping at three pair of heels above them. Pitcher Paul Derringer was once a Cardinal nnd so was Inflelder Lew Klgg. Young Billy Myers once did his pastlmlng In the St. Louis farm layout, as did Ivnl (itmilmim, the outfielder who 1 doing his best to demolish National league fences, and having pretty fair luck. Next to Johnny Vander Meer. Derringer Is the most ef fective hurlcr the lleds possess. Even the Giants, stationed In sec ond place In tho pennant race, have one player Catcher Ous Mancuso , who used to receive for the Cards. In all fairness to Rickey, however. It must be pointed out that Man cuso Is only the aiants' second-string catcher. In 1936, though, tho cards traded Second Baseman Burgess Whitehead to the Giants, strength ening the New York infield to fcuch an extent that the team won the pennant. There is a slight chance that Whitehead, recuperating from a nervous breakdown, may yet re turn to the roster In time to boost tha Giants to the flag, in which case Rickey will be bluer than ever. Among other fair to mlddlln' play ers the Cards have let slip through their fingers, to non - contending teams, are Leo Durocher bf Brooklyn. Outfielders Gene Moore and John Cooney of Boston and Herschel Ray Martin of the Phillies. Tha latter was batting .916 at last reports, and Glancing over that list of former Cardinals, some of whom are bound to help win a National league pen nant for their present club this sea son, we believe a pretty good nu cleus for a big league ball team could be formed. It would Una up something Ilka this: Pitchers, BUI Lea, Bob Kllnger, Dizzy Dean and Paul Derringer; catcher, Gus Man cuso; first base. Rip Collins; second base. Burgees Whitehead: shortstops. Leo Durocher and Billy Meyers; third base. Lew Rlggs; outfielders, Her- schel Martin, Ival Goodman, Joe Marty. Gene Moore, Johnny Cooney. Now, that wouldn't be a bad ball club at alt. In fact, we would lay our hard-earned lucre on it to grab a seven-game series from the pres ent Gas House Gang. Of course, more pitchers and other reserves would be necessary before It could hope to complete a 154-game cam paign, but for a starter we think Rickey has dona admirably. Perhaps. If somebody asked Rickey real nice, he would make tha mythi cal team a present of Flrstbaseman Johnny Mlze, and Third baseman Don Gutterldge, which would take care of Infield replacements; Catchers Mickey Owen and Bremer, which would complete a nice receiving staff; Pitchers Curt Davis, Lon War neke and Bob Welland to round out the mound corps, and Pranklo Frlsch to manage the club.

(AP) The giant Hawaii Clipper end her 16 occupants were logged as victims of a mystery air disaster today by the United States navy, which ordered search ing vessela home from a fruitless hunt across 100,000 square miles of ocean and shoreline. For nearly six days, warships and fighting planes combed the Pacific stretches In all directions from a point over 600 miles east of here where the flying boat radioed her last position a week ago today. Army and navy authorities said they stood ready to answer any call If a clue to the plane's whereabouts waa found, but naval officials said they had abandoned the search for the present because every proba bility and possibility of finding tha clipper waa exhausted. (Japanese ships In the south seas, ordered by Tokyo to search for the missing clipper, reported today they had found no clues. They were ap parently searching the waters of Japanese mandated areas.)

HE WAS A MENTAL MARVEL "I saw him years ago in vaudeville. He re cited a poem while writing different sentences with each hand, one backward and the other upside down. "Boy, he sure was good! When I try to do two things at once I don't accomplish either one. I guess my mind is single track." We all learn more and do more when we con centrate on one thing at a time. That is one of the big advantages of newspaper advertising. Your newspaper "waits for you" until you have the time to concentrate on its inviting contents, and concen tration produces deep impression. The newspaper's ability to carry your advertising message to the public is not limited to any time of day, nor to any single group. Newspapers are read by everyone able-to-read and able-to-buy. for NEWS is a universal want. THE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Prepared by Wcst-Holliday Co., Inc.
