NCL Lumberjacks to Face Craters Under Lights Tonight
Freddie Hutchinson, sent back
to the minors recently when, for
the second time, he failed to

Steve Crippen and Lanning).
Boxing Is making gallant
comeback attempt In Portland
and is doing fair . . . four
round bouts are baing staged
weekly and the fans are turn
ing out tn considerable num
bers, thanks to fine support
by the press ... no word has
ret been receired from Bobby
Bow regarding date of the
next midget auto race pro
gram here, but the little cars
are expected to buss sgaln
about June 4. or June 11.
Medford Is perhaps the best
In the Oregon
start in his first flinging at
tempt for the Buffalo Bisons,
Detroit farm . . . Freddie, pur
chased from Seattle two years
ago at almost a record price,
hurled five Innings and allowed
five hiU . . . that Isn't a sensa
tional performance, true, but
look what his new manager.
Steve O'Neill, said of him:
"Let me tell you now that by
the time September rolls around,
Hutchinson will be one of tlie
best Ditchers in this league. By
next year, he'll be back in the
majors and then watch him go.
I believe Ireddisf trouble in
the majors was a lack of confidence."
State league; at least it has
been thus far . . . Eugene's at
tendance has been Just fair, and
Silverton turned out very poorly
last week-end when the locals
collided with the Red Sox . . .
fine crowds are expected here
the coming week-end to see
Hills Creek in action.
On of the pitchers Crater
batters will look at in the
Hills Creek series here Sat
urday night and Sunday after
noon is their old friend. Merle
Johnson, who has fogged them
over for Clendale for the past
live years or so . . the Cra
ters signed Johnson early this
spring, then releaied him. and
he caught on with the Hill
billies ... he has done some
nice mound work in the
Southern Oregon league in
years past, but thus far State
loop hitters have been pretty
tough for him.
BUI Terry's salary as man
ager of the New York Giants is
several grand higher than the
president and the secretary -treasurer
of the club draw down
pre-season dope Indicates the
Medro Softball team, managed
by Clarence English, will be

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

Carlstrom. Fryer. Llovd and
Eyestone are former Red Sox
players. : Eyestone led the North

last year with a mark well over

The Seattle Ralniers shaved

tween their place post In the
Pacific Coast league and the
second place Oakland Acorns
by scoring a 40 victory over
the invaders In Seattle last
nieht.
Ray Hxrrell. new acquired
right bander from Pittsburgh,
made his dehut with the Port
land Beavers and was on the
mound Just long enough to be
charged with the 8-6 defeat at
the hands of the Hollywood
Stars.
Harrell went to the hill In
the eighth with the Beavers be
hind. His buddies tied the count
in their half of that inning. A
Hollywood rally netted two
runs and victory in the final
frame.
A three-run rally In the
eighth inning gave the San
Francisco Seals a 54 victory
over the San Diego Padres.
SI Cihocikl, Los Angeles
shortstop, paced the Angels'
eight hit attack with a double
and three single for a 4-2 vic

The tilt will be staged follow
ing completion of the Medford

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.
Boxer Versus Slugger Angle
Seen in Garcia -Overlin Go
By Sid Fdr
New York, May 22. The fight game'i version of
"beauty and the beast" a boxer standing up to a slugger
unwinds in Madison Square Garden tomorrow night for tha
second time in as many weeks, this time with the middle
weight championship on the line.

Lou Ambers to sleep In three
rounds and took the lightweight
championship.
Tomorrow, the boxer. Ken
Overlin, born in Decatur. Ill
resident of Washington and Nor
folk and campaigner in way sta
tions all the way from Oswego
to Australia, is the short-ender
in a 15-rounder. If you think
he can take the New York and
California portion of the world
middleweight crown from Ce
ferino Garcia. $5 will get you
$10 if he does It.
The winner's next stop, after
this, may clear up the middle
weight mess which has been
one of Bash boulevard's biggest
laughs for months. Garcia has
been recognized in some states
and Al Hostak is sanctioned in
National Boxing association territory-
"Uncle Mike" Jacobs
and Promoter Nate Druxman
of Seattle are now working
here on a match between Hos
