AUGUST 30. 1938. a mm ifit fV SEAnLE WONDER 10 HURL THIRTY WINS Coast League Fans Steamed Up Over Record of Fred Hutchinson Will Cost Maior Leagues Plenty By PREIl HANSON Associated Press Staff Writer Not sines Fran Schellenback was Incubating pitching victories In un interrupted lota of 10, nor Buck Now nm won a ticket to the major wltli S3 triumph!, have coast league fain been so feverish about a pitcher. As the present season runs out, league Interest In the northwest anyhow Is riveted on 19-yeer-old master Freddie Hutchinson of Seattle, who won his 32nd game last Friday. Having accumulated 33 by 1st August, what chance haa Hutch or winning eight more and Joining the choice company of coast league pitchers who won SO In a season? Outside Chance Just an outside chance. With slight ly mora than three weeks to go the man doesn't figure to start more than air or aeven times, even with Seattle crowding the leadera. But If you count the playoff games, and tho Ralnlers are nearly sure to get In, Hutoh may start 10 or r. dozen games before baseball surrenders to foot ball, which would afford him oppor tunity to reach 30 with some loeway. Six years ago Newsom won 93 for Los Angeles, That was the last time coast chucker cracked 80, Thirty game totals were less rare In the old daya before early football stole the erowds and forced baseball to trim Its season. Back In the tender years of the league when they began playing In March and stayed at It aa late as December, one or two pitchers got SO games every season or two. New. ton of Los Angeles won 86 In 1903 nd followed up In 1004 with an nil time record of 30. Whalen of San Francisco knocked off 83 In 100S. 8o did Oray of Los Angeles In '007 and Browning of San Francisco In 1900. Gregg Did It Henley of Ban Francisco won 84 In 1910, the' same year than Vean Gregg got 83 for Portland. Parenthe tically Gregg was on his way up then. The famed southpaw halted hit baseball decline IB years later bv winning 35 for Seattle, a feat that eont him back to the majors, He was old for 110,000, which may or may ot prove that life begins at 40, that having been hla age at the time. Some other 80-game winners up o the war yeara were Steen, Port land: Williams, Salt Lake; Sothoron, Portland, and Krlckson, San Fran felsco. They pre-ahrunk the schedule In the 1030s and the age of 80-gamea nearly disappeared. Occasionally a pitcher managed It Jskle May of Vernon won a staggering SB In 1933 despite the season's brevity. Cole of the missions missed 30 by only one game In 1930. The Job got still tougher In the 1930s when the schedule was queered ultimately to 3454 weeks. Newaom'a 33 In 1033 waa a brilliant anachronism. Worth Dig Money Hutch won't have to win 80 to command a whopping price when the ivory selling starts, although It would help. A minor leaguer with 80 In a year has a lot of box office mag netism up yonder, even as a first jesr rookie, a faot that major league buyers would not overlook. However. 80 games represents the charmed circle now. Hutch Is well Inside already and aeema fairly aura of reaching SB. President Kmll sick of Seattle already is talking a 81O0.O00 price for Freddie and If Hutch wins 5 It win be more than talk. (TWENTY TURN OI'T FOR Kl, All ATM ORID gqiiAU KLAMATH FAUS, Aug. SO.

Main Sport Graphs Billy Hulen says: Big Three Will Be Marked Men in Golf Tournament Bob Hammond, Eddie Slmmonaand Hubert Bentley will be marked men when some ISO dlvot-dlggcra open fire Friday In tha 10th annual 3I Southern Oregon- Northern Cali fornia champ- lonahlps to be a t a g e d at the Rogue Valley dolt club through Monday, Labor Day. Hammond, Sim. mona and Bent ley will be mark ed for defeat by every other go 1 f e r entering Billy Bulen. the tournament. They will be on tha spot, not be cause of any personal feelings other golfers may possible have toward them, but because they threaten to put out of circulation the handsome Larry Schade trophy, emblematic of the tournament championship and tha permanent possession of any golfer who wins the event three times. Since the tournament's Inception In 1030, each of the three fine golfers has finished In front twice. One more win for sny of them will K" the victor a permanent mantel-piece, and although probably none of the other contestants would seriously be grudge such an occurrence, they would much rather have the trophy remain free for at least another year. To that end, they win bend all their efforts In eliminating Ham mond, Simmons and Bentley with tha utmost dispatch. Whether they can rid tne tourney of all three of them la a moot question, how ever, and one that won't be decided until the thing has progressed con siderably. Hammond, the big, husky, blond-hnlred Hertford clubber, won the title In 10!!B and 11)31. Blliituoiu, slender Medford stylist, copped the crown In 1034 and 103(1. And llcntlpy, the long driving Aahlander, took the championship In 10,15 and last year, strangely, each won hla two titles Inside of three years, although none of them managed to finish on top two seasons In row. In other words, there was one year between each of the trio's title years when he failed to head the field.

LEWIS SUPER SERVICE STATION 8th and Front tournsment director, In 1080: Leslie Leal of Eugene In 1933 and Hank Prlngle of Medford In 1033. That's a pretty good percentage of victories for the "big three," and another reason why all othor entrante will be training their guns on them. In our opinion, It will take whale of a lot of golf to send all three of those two-time winners Into defeat this year. It'a a clncb they can't all win, but the odds ahouldn't be too heavy against one of them finishing first. Almost sn even bet, he would say offhand, that one of the trio at least reaches the finals. It's been a long time since a Medford ball player, or any Southern Oregon league per former, for tfhat, matter, has treated opposing pitchers so roughly as Orval llampel. Crater first-baseman, has done In the past month. When the slender llampel belted two homers and a single Sunday against Crescent City, he Increased his batting average to .383, far ahead (if all other circuit hitters. That aver age is remurkuhlp, even for buso liull of the bush league variety, but even more amazing Is the number of extra-base blows llampel has socked. In 34 trlpa to the plate, Orval haa collected 14 safeties, and only six of them have been singles. He has hit three homers, one triple and four doubles, .which gives him a total-base mark of 30. In other words, Hampel has hit for an aver age of slightly over two bases cverv time he connected safely. Which is wnat we call plain and fancy slug glng. Many local fans are ajklmr whv Tommy White, who hit so consist ently early In the season and until two weeks sgo, has eone into slump. Hero Is tho answer to the question. Tommy Is working overv day from six In the evening until six In the morning, giving him no o wont out during the week and causing him to face pitchers on Sunday without the proper uwuni oi sieep. white hasn't had any batting practice for two weeks, except Immediately preceding games, and the lack of It has caused him to go hltless In the last two en. counters.

For fully IS minutes 8ockeye Jack McDonald did everything In his power to Induce the Mad Italian to put on the gloves with him, Promoter Mack LUlard and Referee Toakley pleaded and cajoled, and the crowd booed and booed. But Pete was ad amant. He positively wouldn't bat tle Sockeye with the gloves untlj next Monday night, Labor day. So that's the setup now. McDon ald and Belcastro In a 10-round brawl next Monday evening, with a referee, Judges and eight-ounce gloves. To nail Belcastro to his promise. Promoter LUlard drew up a contract during the fireworks last night, giv ing Pete a healthy cut of the grow gate. Pete signed It and so did Mc Donald, so It looks like they will at last get to slug each other around next week. - Pete wouldn't fight last night be cause he said he tiadn't had the I gloves on for many months, because ! he said he didn't have any mouth-; I piece, and because he said he wanted more money. McDonald retorts that he hadn't had the gloves on for many month?, 'either, that he didn't have any mouthpiece, either, and that Pete could have his last night's purse But, It didn't do any good. Belcas tro refused sneerlngly, and that was that. So. the grappling program went through as per schedule, with Bel castro walloping Sgt. Bob Kenaston In the main event, McDonald measur ing Mike Strelich In the middle Af fair and Juan Sebastaln disabling Bobby Chick to cop the opener. Al though the proposed prizefight was postponed, the crowd got more than Ita money's worth from a rousing, thrilling wrestling card. In the top go, Kenaston pinned Pete for the first tumble In ten min utes, using a neck hold and a body slam. Seven minutes later, Belctts tro evened the score with a surfboard which so weakened Kenaston that he was easy prey to a Belcastro ham merlock In two minutes for the third and deciding tumble It waa a savage match, with Ken aston pummellng Pete prior to ob taining the first fall and Belcastro coming back to foul and hammer the Gold Hlller unmercifully for the re mainder of the match. Perhaps it was Just as well that Pete wouldn't accept McDonald's challenge to a fist ffciht, for Sockeye was extended to the limit In Denting big Mike Streitch In the center at traction. McDonald grabbed the first fall In the second round with a body slam and press after a series of neck snaps. After using an effective and painful arm-stretch, Strelich blasted a dropklck to Sockeye's midsection and pinned him with a body press to tie the score In the third round. The match ended In the fifth canto when Sockeye applied his side utretcta. Scores Yesterday National League New York 3, Cincinnati 8. Brooklyn 1, Pittsburgh 10. American League St. Louis 4.

Phone 1300 Beanballs Rattle Off Roof Of Seals' Utility Fielder By the A woo elated Press If Harvey Storey, San Francisco Seals utility outfielder from Forest Grove, Ore., Uvea to a ripe old age, tt be because he learned how to duck before H waa too late. Toung "Slammtn Sam," so dub- bed because he smacked the bat; at a .347 clip for the Tacoma Tigers in the Western International league test season, has spent the bulk of tnla season with the Pacific coast league Seals, but he has been more of i worry than a benefit to Ma natter Lefty O'Doul. There's no one else In the coast cir cuit with "Slammln Sam's" knack for getting his anatomy, especially his head, In the way of a zooming baseball. Baseballs bounce off his head like hall stones on a tin roof. In tha few games he's played this season he's had hla noggin massaged with a baseball on a numoer of oc casions and has managed to get to first base by stopping the ball wltc other parts of the hank of hair and pile of bones making up the six feet of Harvey Storey. To add Insult to injury the son oi an Oregon dairy farmer has spiked himself at least twice, the first time so severely a surgeon enjoyed a sew ing bee with Just Harvey and a nursn for company. Storey was out of ac tion for weeks. Ha stumbles over nis own feet while running the bases al most aa much as he gets his head In the way of a baseball. Last week-he stumbled rounding second ;n a game the Seals might have won if Storey had only dipped sand going around the bag Instead of eating it. In the Western International league Harvey was beancd no les than 13 times. Manager Lefty O'Doul thint. hie ducking technique la improvltiir this season.

TITLE PLAYOFF Med ford's Craters and the Grants Pass Merchants will meet at Grants Pass next Sunday afternoon In the one-game playoff for the second half championship of the Southern Ore gon baseball league. Location of the game was decided here yesterday afternoon by the flip of a coin, with Austin Frazier. presi dent of the Medford Athletic associa tion, tossing the coin and Fred Roper, business manager of the Granta Pass club, calling It cor rectly. Wl th each t cam en d 1 ng the second-half schedule last Sunday with seven wins and one loss, they will clash for the right to tangle with Crescent City In a three-game aeries for the circuit banner." Crescent City won the first half championship. The umpiring situation for the playoff game was Ironed out with the decision to hire a neutral official, yet to be named, to call balls and strikes, and Lew Miles of Medford and Tuey Rlgga of Grants Faas to work the bases, giving the game three officials. It was agreed that the present rosters of the two clubs couldn't be changed for the game, and that net gate receipts would be split 50-50. The game will start at 2:30. Ex pected to pitch for Grants Pass Is Orval Hoffman, righthander, while Medford's hurler will most likely be Lyle Turpin, the young star boarder who beat Crescent City last Sunday, 12 to 7.

(P) John Cobb, wealthy fur broker from London who dashes across lsnd at daring speeds because he llkea It, sped his 24-cyllnder rac ing car over this white course twtce today, but postponed en assault on the world's land speed record. Cobb piloted his new creation, "Rallton", over the 13 -mile straight away twice, then declared further tests were necessary before he offi cially seeks the record established here last Saturday by another Eng lishman, lean Capt. George E. T. Eye ton. Unofficially timed at approximately 300 miles per hour on the outward run and at approximately 325 miles per hour on the backward trip, Cobb was far below Eyston's mark of 345.49 miles per hour. American Automobile association officials declared the runs were trials when the 200-pound Englishman fail ed to complete both trips within the one hour time limit. His average was believed to have surpassed Eyston's old record of 311.42 miles per hour, making blm the crown prince Instead of king of the automobile speed world. Cobb declared the car performed perfectly. "I did not expect to surpass the record today." he said. "I've only driven the car at high speed twice before. There's one thing I'm certain of the machine nas plenty of speed." Cobb said his mechanical crew would overhaul the car and probably be ready for an official assault on the record by Thursday.
