' SCARED TO DEATH OF FAG1NGYANKS Pirates, Giants and Cubs Playing Poor Ball As World Series Time Looms Davis Hurls One-Hitter By BID FEOEB Assoc'.stcd Press Sports Writer The fearsome prospect of having to tangltt with thoso awful Yankees In another world scries appears to have the national league's leading citizens seared to death of winning their owa pennant. At least, that's the way the cur rent senior circuit race (If you can call It that) looks, what with the Pirates having a tough time scratch ing an even .500 average In their lust 30 games, the Giants winning Just 18 In the last 27, end those Chicago Cubs playing soventh-place ball for the past month. IMrati-s Boost Edge The Pirates trounced the Boston Bees, 8-S, yosterday, lorgoly through Pop Young's triple with the basoa loaded and boosted their first-place margin to six full gomes. With Lonnle Wainoko's lanky arm mow the other follows down, and Curt (Bargain Counter) Davis start lng to click es witness the one-hit 6-0 decision he potted against the Brooklyn Dodgers yestordsy onke! Frankle may still get the Cardinals into the money. The Beds chalked up their 17th win In 80 starts yesterday with -l victory over the futile Phillies. Since Vance Page, the "old man" rookie, tossed a four-hitter to glvo the Cubs a 6-1 win ovor the Giants this left the Rods Just half-a-game out of second place. Yanks Look Certain It's Just about certain the Nation al league winner will .meet up with the Yanks In the extra-curricular clouting. Gehrig and company spilt with the Chicago White Box yestordav to climb 13 full games in front In tho American league, frolic. Jimmy Dykea' three-run homer paced the Sox to on 8-5 opener win, and Tom my Henrlch'a two homers gave tho Yanks the afterpiece, 11-1. Three changes In the brackets fea tured the Junior circuit program. Cleveland's Indians climbed Into seo- ond-place tie by toppling the Boston Bed Box, C-3, on Bruoe OampbellT. two homers. Washington regained sjle possession of fourth place with olose 8-6 edge of the St. Louis Browns, and the Athletics pulled themselves out of the cellar with a lop-alded double win over Detroit, 10-1 and 11.-3.

Louis fl. main toplo of conversation on the baseball front of this vil lage la whether or not history will take a no tion to repeat It self. Many pessimis tic local fans see a deadly parallel between the first half chase, cop ped by Crescent City, and this second half flag battle which ends Sunday. Theso true but worried supportoia of the Mcdford Craters point shak ing fingers at the progression of the second half raco, calling attention to the fact that the situation Sun day, when the six circuit clubs start swinging at each other In the finale. Is practically Identical with the set up that faced the teams when they unwound for the closing games in the first half regatta. Bo far, these trembling fans tell you hoars! yt history is repeating In horrible manner. And, It must be admitted that they aic entirely cor rect. History, tho 1038 Southern Ore gon league baseball variety, certainly la marching down the same groove. Com Inn up to the final first hair games. Med ford, Crescent City and 0 rants Pass were tied for the leaden hi p. Coming up to the final second half games Sunday, the same teams ore once morn deadlocked for flrt place. The lone minor difference In the two ending Is the mat ter of games won and lost. In the first half finale, the three rlutis had nil won five and Inst two buttles. Sunday, they will awing into net ion with six wins and one loss. Aa everybody remembers only too sorrowfully tho dram at lo climax to the first half race, perhaps It would be better not to dwell too long on same. Suffice it to recall that Cres cent City took a sensational 13- tnnlng, 7 to 8 victory from Medford, .md reka sprung the season's big upset by beating Orants Pass, all of which gave thoso pesky Merchant from the seaboard the championship. history has a very slight chance of repeating in this case. They can't see how Gtendale can beat Grants Pass and they have the utmost confidence In Manager Paul "Iloosler" lloffnrd and his Craters and their ability to belt Crescent City. We'll all know the answer Sunday. K.F. DEFEATED, 11-4 IT Portland Pitcher Chalks. Up Second No-Hitter in State Tourney History to De feat Bend Team, 9 to 0 Lefty Mike Koll, Crescent City's .((rent young southpaw pitcher, won't have such an array of left-handed Medford hitters to toy with Sunday as he did all through the first half, and most of the second. Last time Medford and Crescent City tangled, six southpaw swingers tried in vain to make things tough for Mike. Sun day, the Craters will send only three wrong-side batters to the platter. Orvsl Hsmpel, first baseman: Man ager Hoffard, leftfleld, and Tommy White, rlghUleld, will be the trio of left-handed Crater clubbers. The Crescent City ace will be forced to hurl his sharp downer" at the fol lowing right-handed stickers: Cliff McLean, Billy Calvert, Dick Lewis, who, by the way, Is plsylng some great baseball right now, Rlney Cook, Dick Sakralda and the pitcher, Lyle Turpln. Such a string of orthodox batten may possibly cause Koll more than a little angulah. We are not saying It will for certain, but It Just might. SALEM. Aug. SB (AP) The Salem Papermakers and Portland Rotary Bread teams slipped Into the state softball tournament's seml-flnals yes terday with sparkling demonstra tions of hitting power and pitching. auy Rusclgno, Portland Rotary Bread pitcher, hurled the second no hit, no-run game In the tournament annals as the Portlandes beat Bend, 9 to 0. Only one man reached first, on an error. Rusclgno struck out 30 batters, one below the tourney rec ord. The Papermakers walloped Klam ath Palls, 11 to 4. behind a 13-htt barrage.

With only one more game to. play, Medford's Craters apparently have furnished the Southern Oregon base ball league with the champion hitter for tho 1938 season. Orvsl Hampel, Crater first-baseman, collected three hits last Sunday to replace bis tesmmate. Tommy Wn'te, at the top of the heap, Hampel Is batting 23 and there appears little possibility anybody can catch him . Manager Paul "Hoosler" Hoffard of the Medfords, because of his many more times at bat, la the actual leader, however, with an average of Ail, 10 points higher than White, In third plsce. , The Craters are also far ahead m the team batting race, with a mark of .829.

( AP) Five convicts convicted of the killing of Warden Clarence Lark In In an un successful prison break at Folsom prison last September must die for the crime, the state supreme court held today. The convicts under death sentences are In condemned row at San Quen tln prison. They claimed Superior Court Judtze Dal M. Lemmon of Sac ramento erred in disallowing Jury challenges.

The convicts are Wesley B Eudy, Albert Kessell, Ed Davis, Fred Barnea. and Robert Lee Cannon. Closing time for Too Late to Clas sify Ads Is 1:30 p. m.

So, once again Medford, Crescent City and Orants pass are bunched for tie lcnder5hip with only one finmo tci play. Even the schtniule for the flmU encounters Is onc-hnir Iden tical with thnt of the first half wlntlup. Medford and Crescent City agnln collide here. Just as they did In the first hnlf, and only Orants Pass plays a different team this time Olendale. If history repent , here Is what will happen. Crescent City will knock mer Medford and tilen Oalc w ill at nit tiruntv Pan. -Itif. Crcn-ent t'ltv the cron.l half pennant and the whole work. That Is what vevernl local fans fear. Ituwecr, for eery peMinl tic suivporter, there are 10 iled-tn-t he-wools who believe thnt Dopeaters who attempt to cata logue the strength of the circuit clubs by comparative score are going crazy with the three leaders. In this second hair race, Medford, Crescent City and Orants Pass have alt lost one game. Like this : Orants Pass heat Crescent City, Crescent City beat Mccirord. Medford beat Orants Pass. That's what we call a "vicious circle." 4 PUBLIC LINKS CROWN OLEVETANT), Aug. SB.
