By their victory. Manager Paul "Hoosler" Hoffard's slugging Craters became undisputed second-half champions, breaking a two-way tie for the title produced when Medford and Grants Pass ended the race laat Sunday with seven wins and one loss apiece. The game marked the first time this season Grants Pass has been defeated on It own dia mond. Turpin Is Master While Lyle Turpin was buzzing his fast ball and pulling the string prist Merchant batters to the tune of only one run, scored In the first frame, hta Crater teammates blasted Orval Hoffman. Grants Pass hurler, for four tallies In the second frame to cinch the affair, and added six more In later Innings to make' It a runa way. Turpin ml Rued a shutout when the Merchant tallied their lone run In the first Inning on Miller's single to left and Cook's boot. From then on, however, the Craters' youthful righthander was complete master of the situation, holding Grant Pass to five ineffective hits and no runs. Although Turpin pitched magnificent baseball, the Crater defense gave him spectacular support. Dick Lewis, shortstop, handled 11 fielding chances perfectly, and Rlney Cook, third sacker, enme up with night chances In fine fashion. In addition to In augurating a pair of sweet double killings. Leading the terrific Medford bat ting attack waa Orval Hampel, first baseman and league-leading batter, who socked five clean singles In five trips to the plnte, and Billy Calvert, second-baseman, who bolted a triple, double and single In four legal times at bat. Manager Hoffard hit a dou ble and Cook collected two singles for himself. The ball game was all over after the second Inning, when the Craters scored four times. Tommy White opened the frame with a single to right, and after Lewis reached first on Blacksmith's error, Hampel smashed a single to center. Cook walked, and Sakralda single to cen ter. Calvert's roaring double to rleht- renter In the fourth, chasing across Hampel and Turpin. who had singled, added two more runs to the Medford total, and the locals kept right on In the sixth by tallying thrice. Ham pel again started things off with a single to center, Cook singled through the box, and after Sakralda forced Cook at second, Calvert belted a triple to center scoring Hampel nnd Sakrnlda. Manager Hoffard then sin gled to right-center scoring Calvert. Ijist Score On terror Hampel scored Medford's final run hi the seventh Inning by singling through the box and making the circuit on Shortatop Steve Crlpp.n's error. McCarthy and Miller were the only Merchants to solve Turpln's de livery for more than one hit, they each collecting a pair of singles, rur ptn didn't allow a single extrabase blow In hurling the Craters to vie- tory, and had the enemy literally eating out of his hand all after noon. The Merchants' one run off Turpin was unearned. The game, despite the score, was one of the best played In the league all year. It was completed In one hour and 37 minutes, and sparkled with brilliant fielding plays executed by both teams. First encounter of the league play off series will be staged next Sun day, either In Crescent City or Med- i ford.
