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.

Ti:e following recreational bulletin
waa Issued today by Rogue River na
tional forest headquarters:
"Huckleberries are beginning to rip

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. Flies and
eggs rave brought the best luck
Fishing on tho middle fork and south
fork of tho Rogue river Is good with
files and grasshoppers. The fish arc
small, seven lakes has been good
witn rues, spoon and grasshoDoers
Fair catches have been mado on i:e

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.

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. How could he
refuse, when he has been so generous
In the past?

missing clipper, reported today they
had found no clues. They were ap
parently searching the waters of
