CENTRAL S I 50 I BY MEDFORD; 10 PLAY FIRST BASE Jim Rcgo to Hurl for Craters; Lowell Brown May Pitch For Klamath-Dorris. The classy Klamath-Dorris Lumberjacks of the Northern California league, one of the best clubs in that circuit, come to Medford tonight to engage a Crater team bolstered by the signing yesterday of Big Bill Lanning, righthanded pitcher from Wenatchee, (Wash.) of the class B Western International league. The clash, an exhibition af fair, Is scheduled to start at 8:30 sharp under the lights at the new fairgrounds field. A large crowd Is expected to be on hand to welcome the Cra ters home from their two-game invasion of Silverton last week end. Lanning, whose home is In Grants Pass, was cut adrift by Wenatchee early this week de spite the fact he had pitched some fine ball for the New York Yankee farm club. Lan ning was released, It Is under stood, because the Chiefs had to cut their roster to meet player-limits. He has been a member of the Yankee farm system for the past three years, spending all last season with Wenatchee and the year before with Tyler In the West Texas New Mexico circuit, a class C wheel. Patterson Absent Lanning Isn't slated to toe the rubber tonight, but accord ing to Manager Paul Hoffard he will probably play first base. Leonard Patterson, regular first sacker, won't be present be cause of graduation exercises at Jacksonville high, where he coaches. Lanning is a powerful iefthanded hitter, and has had some experience at the initial cushion. Jim Rcgo. smilhpaw. will op en on the Medford mound, with Tommy Hawkins back of the plate, Rlney Cook on second. Steve Crippen on short. Cliff McLean on third. Rocky Peter son In left, Al Wray in center and Tommy White In right. Pitching for Klamath-Dorris will be either Clyde Carlstrom. righthander or Lowell Brown, southpaw who formerly hurled for the Craters. It Is believed that Brown will be Manager Red Tolbert's starting choice, as he didn't work much last Sun day and, In all probability, he will be especially anxious to go against his former teammates. Lineup of Stars The Lumberjacks, composed of several members of last year' Klamath Red Sox team N. C. L. pennant winners, and performers from 10.19's Dorris, (Cal.) entry in the Southern Oregon loop, will line up with Dean Fryer catching, Duracha on first. Brooks on second, Bart Goldbar on short, Lloyd on third, Eyestone In left, L. Mc Intyre In renter and R. Mc lntyre In right. Carlstrom. Fryer. Llovd and Eyestone are former Red Sox players. : Eyestone led the North ern California league in batting last year with a mark well over .500.

CL Although salmon are still plentiful In Rogue river near Grants Pass, low and clear wa ter has not been conducive to highly successful angling, re ports Joe Wharton. A few Chinook have been landed near Weasku Inn, how ever, running in weight from 12 to 20 pounds. They were in prime condition, indicating they were new run fish Just reach ing the section. Best lure in the present condition was said to be with number 3 and 4 spin ners. Flies of various patterns on number 10 and 12 hooks are proving excellent lure for trout in the vicinity, Wharton reported.

FOXX HOI RUN; BEAVERS CLINCH TITLE Scores Yesterday By th Associated Press Conference Standings W. L. Oregon State 11 3 Oregon 7 6 WSC 5 6 Washington 4 7 Idaho 3 8 By Associated Press Maybe it's nostalgia creeping up, but a fellow can't escape feeling every once in a while that the old heroes are the best heroes. There's Jimmie Foxx of the Boston Red Sox. In the 15 years he has been swashbuck ling around the American league, a lot of fine new faces have appeared and a lot of them have passed right on out But old "Double X" is still setting the opposing pitchers crazy with his terrific slugging. He hit a home run with the bases loaded yesterday for the second straight day to help Boston boot the Detroit Tigers 11-8 and get a stronger grip on first place in the Junior circuit. In the meantime the world champion New York Yankees took some of the pressure off Boston by belting the Cleveland Indians 10-2 with a 12-hit at tack, led by George Selkirk and Charley Keller. The Chicago White Sox edged out the Washington Senators 9-8. Joe Kuhel led the Soy's 15-hit assault with a perfect day at the plate, five hits including a home run and two doubles but the deciding run was forced across with a walk. These were the only com pleted games in the American league. In the only contest the weath er allowed In the National league league the Brooklyn Dodgers squeezed past the Chi cago Cubs 4-3 to end a three game losing streak.
