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.

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.

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.
