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.

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.

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.

PETE POSTPONES
Pots B1orUtro wouldn't fight last
night.
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.

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.

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.

COBB DELAYS ASSAULT
ON LAND SPEED MARK
AFTER TWO TEST RUNS
BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, Utah,
Aug. 30. (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.
