The battle starts at 2:30 sharp. Manager Paul "Hoarier" Hoffard announced today that Lyle Turpln, big righthander from Klamath Palls, would again occupy the Medford mound, with Cliff "Chief". McLean back of the- plate. Manager Jud Pernoll of the Mer chants la expected to start Orvall Hoffman, the young starboard fllner who pitched his team to an 11 to 2 win over Olcndale In last Sunday's second-half finale. However, Steve Crlppeii, another rlghthandcd throw er, may draw the starting assignment because of the 4 to 0, four-hit blank ing he handed the Craters during the first-half race. Winner Plays Crescent. To the winners of Sunday's game between Medford and Grants Pass, which clubs ended the second-half race deadlocked for first place with seven wins and one loss, will go the honor of meeting Crescent City, first half champions, In a three-game series for tho league pennant. In three games, this season, the Craters have beaten Grants Paw twice, here, and lost once, at Grants Pass.' An ugly Jinx stares Manager Hof fard and his Craters dead In the face a Jinx that has kept the Mer chants' 1038 home schedule free from defeats. Not once have the Climate City paatimers lost a game In their own bailiwick this season: all their defeat have been on the road. The Craters have played in Grants Pass once before thla year, losing, 4 to 0. but Manager Hoffard haa hopes his heavy-alugglng outfit will knock the Jinx dead Sunday. Two Reserve Pitchers. Two reserve pitchers will make the trip with the Craters, Ray Erlckson and Bill Rathke, both righthanders, and Wally Rickert will be a utility lmiclclcr or outfielder. Grants Pass officials are making pinna to accommodate the yenr'e largest crowd, and miwiy local fans will make the trip from here.

Because, if Hanku Pankus can belt IS pitches Into the bleacher seats during this month he will smash to smithereens a baseball record everybody figured would atand for all time Babe Ruth's mark of parking CO home runa in one season. In 1927, when the Bambino blasted hla five dozen c 1 r c ult wallops, there wasn't a fan, player, man ager or sports writer In the country optimis tic enough to predict the migh ty record would ever be broken. It was apparent ly Inviolate. peel ally so when they started Billy nulon. deadening the balls. But now, here is Detroit & huge first baseman literally knocking at the door, not fooling, but actually threatening to eclipse tho Babe's great record. And. many experts arc now saying he has an excellent chance to do it. drcenberg, up to today, had 40 rmir-mitsterN to his credit. He lilt his last homer ngnliiHt the Yankees Wednesday, In Itetrilt's 1Xh paine of the year... In 1027. Ittitu didn't Mxk his 4c;th circuit trip until the Yankees' 118 111 game, uhlch put fireenlierg slv names nhcad of the Babe'h word breaklng pure. Hank now enters (he final month of the waon needing IS homers to crack the record. It all depends upon what Hank does In this month of September His team has 31 games more to play, not counting today, and If the Ruth record falls It will be because the Detroit slugger went a little crazy and hammered out a homer on a: average of one every two garnet That's a terrific amount of home rui hitting, a four-plyer every other da: but it Is possible. Hank smashed : In July, and, of course, what he L once he can do again. Ruth, the year he knocked 60, ca tered the September 6tretch with onl; 43 homers to his credit. But, during the last month of the season he poured It on and poured them into : the cheap seats 17 times, better than j one every two games. That was real j clubbing, and It gave tho Babe a 1 record thnt haa stood for 11 years,1 and may hold up for 11 more, or for ever. Hunk doesn't have to hit 17 this month, only 15 to break the mark or 14 to tie It. but those 15 will be plenty hard to get. Naturally, Greenberg will be con centrating on the distant bleacher. ...and mu dotMu. 20 m kil FIRE .INSURANCE Harold H.

That may help him, be ing able to point for the homers be cause Detroit Isn't a contending team and he can more or leu do what he pleases, or It may hinder htm. Some times, when you bear down too bard, you start pressing and tightening up, and that doesn't help you. Instead, It ruins all your coordination and timing, which are of the utmost im portance. Bo, September will tell the story of whether baseball Is to have a new Sultan of Swat, or If Babe Ruth's all-time record will withstand the assault and keep the ex-New York Yank at the top of the heap aa the greatest alugger the game haa ever known. The odds are seemingly against Hank, for the ball la supposed to be slightly deader than It was in 1927, and opposing pitchers will na turally be gunning for him, trying to keep him from breaking the mark. But, you can never tell. Maybe next year sports writers, In describing a home run by ft local batter, may call It a "Greenberglan wallop," Instead of a "Ruthlan clout.' . Tommy White and Cliff "Chief McLean, rlghtfletder and catcher, respectively, for the Medford Cra ters, can work out with the Port land Beavers during the last week of the Pacific Coast league season, according to word brought back from the north, by Wallace Rickert, who said he talked with Manager Bill Sweeney last week. -Sweeney said that he would like to have White and McLean come to Portland for the loop's closing series, Sept. 13 to 18, Inclusive, at which tlmo Hollywood and the Beavers wind up their schedule In the Rose City. The two probably wouldn't break Into the lineup, merely taking batting and fielding drills with the Ducks, but It would be a great break for them both because If they showed class Sweeney would sign them up. Although neither of them has been hitting well the past three weeks, due to lack of batting practice during the week, White because of hla Job and' McLean because he lives In Ashland and can't get down to practice, they are both fine prospects. We hope they take advantage of Sweeney's In vitation and show him what they can do.
