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

HOT BATTLE TO STAY
IN PAY-OFF DIVISION
(By The Associated Press)
San Diego and San Francisco were
virtually tied today for last place In
the first dlvlalon and a chance at
10.000 In Pacific Coast league prize
money In the final week of their
regular baseball Mason.
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.
At Portland a four-run Hollywood
uprising was too much for the Beav
ers and the Stars went on to take a
7 to 8 win by stopping a Portland
rally in the last of the ninth after
two runs had been pushed across the
plate.

Budge May Stay Simon Pure
Because of Riggs' Debacle
By GATLE TALBOT
FOREST HILLS. N. T.. Sept. 14. 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.
