PAQE FOUR liFEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 14. 1938. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen iayi: Crescent Enters Protest On Game Account Rickert ft-oteata, protests, protests! It wu believed by everyone that when the Southern Oregon league finished it regular schedule thero would be lit tle peace tn the baseball Jl tui tion. It wee felt certain that Medlord and Oreioent City could p r o o e e d with their play off serlei In some meaaure of bar m o n y, without the c o n 1 1 nual squabbling that marred the circuit alate throughout the nnr Bate entire campaign, ut. such was not to be the caae. Tea, Creacent City, through Its president, Bob Adler, has protested Med ford ' 7 to 5 victory Inst Sunday In the first of a three-game series for the loop bunting. The protest la feaeed on the alleged Ineligibility of Wally Rickert, who played the laat two Innings for Med ford and had foaltlrely no hand In the Crater onquest; that Is, he did nothing that contributed to Med ford's win ning the gams. Dora Provost of Ash land, president of the league, was notified yesterday by mall of Adltr's protest. Crescent City's protest Is founded on the assumption that Rlrkert, when he resigned as manager of the Craters a month ago, was also released from the clnb and his name stricken from the official Medford roster. A league rule states that . teams . oannot use any player not on the roster. Creacent City believes It has a Just and fair protest because when Rickert resigned his managerial job, he left Medford and went to Port land, and In the weekly report of the league secretary, mailed to all team managers, Secretary Austin Trader mentioned the faot that Slckert had resigned from the Med tford managerial post and was, there fore, released. However, when that league report was mailed, Medford had not yet appointed a manager to succeed Klckart, and the league rules clearly state that players can only be re leased by their team manager. Thus, st was erroneously reported that fUckert had been released; erroneous ly because Medford didn't have a manager at that time who could re lease htm. He was reported as being released toy Secretary Frailer, who really had mo authority to do so but, who nat urally assumed that when Rickert left for Portland 'he would not be with the Craters any more this season. Hoosler Hoffard, appointed manager following Rlckert'a resigna tion, but after the league report was vailed to team managers, has never released Rickert. Anyway lllrkert returned from Portland In two wreks, and Frailer wrote a letter to League President Provost explaining the situation and requesting a letter stating that Rlrkert had never been officially released. Rlrkert went to Ashland and obtained the letter from Provost, whlrli gave him a clean bill as to eligibility. Naturally, with that letter from the league president stating that Rickert was eligible, Medford felt perfectly safe In using Rickert at Crescent City last 8unday. He went In In the Ust half of the seventh Inning, when Plrst Baseman Orval Hampcl aggra vated an old wrist Injury. Rickert ap peared once at the plate, flying nut to left field, and handled no chances In right field, where he played when Tom White moved In to first base It Is a royal mlxup, for fair. The whole point of the business seems to hinge on the fact that Rickert was reported released when there was nobody In Medford who had the au thority to release him at that time. In a way, Creacent City can't be blamed too much, although they are protesting on an extremely technical point, and against a player who did absolutely nothing to help beat them, crescent City was beaten fairly and squarely on the ball field, and not because of anything done by a supposedly Ineligible player. President Provost ha railed a meeting of Crescent City and Mrdfnrd officials, to be held Im mediately prereeillng the second game of the rhnnilnnhlp series here next Sunday, at whirl, time everything will he straightened nut. It Is hoped. However, there Is only one nay the thing can end, as we see It. Klrkert was never relented by his Mrdfnrd manager, the only person who roti Id release him, bemuse there waanl any manager at that lime. Therefore, we can't see how the protest ran be allowed. Regardless ot the protests and ' bickerings and what not. Medford ! and Crescent City will play their ! second title game here at the high ' school park Sunday, and the affair Is expected to top all other games : this season In thrills and drama. Lyle Turpln, who has won three strslpht for the Craters, will again toll on the Medford mound, and Ralph Deo or Chub Howe will work for the Merchants. The Craters need only one more victory to become chsmplona for he ft rat time I n over 1 0 yes rs. d t sre gsrdtng the protest oi lst Sunday' fame.

Fourth place San Diego Padres pounded five runs across in the eighth Inning last night at Seattle to tie the score and force the game Into an extra inning but along came Rookie Edo Vannl of the Suds to send a long fly to the outfield with the bases full and give Seattle Its 13th straight win, 6 to 5, tn the tenth. Some nice relief pitching by weath er beaten Win Ballou gave the San Francisco Seals an 8 to 3 win over the third place Sacramento Senators and moved the fifth place Seal to within one percentage point of a tie with the Padres. Flve-hlt pitching performance by Ray Prim, apparently recovered from a mid-se&Kon arm Injury, gave the league leading Los Angeles an easy 5 to 2 vin over the brow-beaten Oak land Acorns In the first game of a aeries that should be a cinch for the Angels to cop.

JP) The double defeat ot Bobby Rlgga within a week'a time make It doubtful now Donald Budge will turn professional this winter. Sentiment around the clubhouse today, as the national singles cham pionships resumed after a day's loss to rain, was that the amateur nabobs would be able to Induce their meal ticket to continue with the old firm. Up to the time Rlggs began getting smacked around, first by Jack Brom wlch of Australia and then by Gilbert Hunt, the feeling had been that Budge had done his full duty In bringing the Davis cup back home, and that he could become an out right professional with a free con science. ' Now, though, it Is painfully obvious Don's departure would leave the Unit ed States without a hope of beating Australia In the next Davis cup chal lenge round, and. even worse, would deprive the great tennis citadels here and at Wimbledon of their only real drawing card. It is whispered the English officials have told their American confederates to promise Budge practically anything his simple heart might desire, up to and including a guest suite at Buckingham- palace next summer, If he only will remain true.

Not One Attraction But Many Some folks will not listen to opera, and others will not listen to swing.. There are some who do not care who wins the World Series, and many another whose idea of a grand slam is a home run with the bases loaded. Yet however widely their environments and tastes may differ, people have one thing in common they read the newspaper. An authentic survey reveals that an average of 98 per cent read one or more news stories: 90 per cent read picture pages: 68 per cent read the comics: 60 per cent oddity cartoons, and department-store ad vertising is read by 73 per cent of the women. Newspapers do not depend on one "star" or attrac tion as these are only a few of some fifty different attractions that draw all members of the family to newspapers and the advertisements in them. Another survey, as recently reported In Time, showed that "nearlv all families read newspapers 91 per cent regularly." Use this newspaper for complete coverage of those families able to buy advertised products. Prepared by West-Holliday Co., OW THEY National LMgu. W. L. Pet.
