PAGE SIX MEDFORD MAP, TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1940. IBiS i TWO BIG INNINGS GIVE CRATERS 8-2 Two mounding Innjngi three-run third and five-run fifth coupled with some iwell flinging by Jimmy Rego and Orv Williams, brought Med ford's State league Craters an 8 to 2 exhibition-game victory over the Klamath-Dorris Lum berjacks under the fairgrounds field glims last night. Rocky Peterson came wnoop lng out of a tough batting slump to pound out two doubles and a couple of singles In five trips, and Steve Crippen, the versatile red-head, whacked a mighty homer over the Burel son sign in left to climax Med ford's big fifth frame. Crip's four-master was the first hit over the distant wall by a Cra ter player thus far. Jimmy Rego worked the first six heats for the Craters and was practically untouchable. The southpaw allowed only two hits, both singles, and he whiffed 10, five of them In a row In the fourth and fifth in nings. Rego's curve was nicking the outside corner and his fast one had the Lumberjacks hand' cuffed. Williams took over for the locals in the seventh, and a combination of a hit-batsman. Fryer's single to left, a bad throw to first by Cliff McLean and an infield out gave the visi tors their two runs in the sev enth. Incidentally, that error by McLean was the only one Med ford committed. The Craters couldn't do any thing with Ron Mclntyre, Lum berjack's starting pitcher, for two innings, but In the third the boys started teeing off. With one away Rego started things with a single to right. Peterson belted his first double and Rego scored. Wray reached first on an error, Peterson go ing to third, and the pair then pulled a double steal with Peterson scoring. McLean sing led to center scoring Wray. Peterson opened the huge fifth with a single to right and Wray moved him to third with blow to left. After Peterson tallied on a passed ball, McLean walked, and Wray and McLean both scored on Bill Lanning's single to right-center. With Lanning parked on first base, Crippen whammed his round-tripper over the wall at the 330-foot mark, and prob ably the agate is still rolling. That wallop ended Medford's scoring, for Clyde (Curve Ball) Carlstrom pitched the last thiee innings for the Lumberjacks and kept the plate undented by Crater spikes. Although the Craters fielded a patched-up lineup, they turned In a sparkling exhibi tion. Lanning, acquired this week from Wenatchee, Wash., forsook the pitching mound to play first base, and Crippen, also a hurler, held down short stop. Both played perfect ball afield. The Craters swing Into State League action Saturday night against the Hills Creek Hillbil lies under the local lights, and play the same team here Sun day afternoon.

Scores Yesterday Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; 1940 Tiger Grid Team Face Lot of 10 1939 Regs These are days for baseball, golf, fishing and other warm weather sports, but one gentle man in town is giving more than a few passing thoughts to football. He is, of course. Bill Bower man, Medford high's gridiron mentor. And right now, though the 1940 season be some four months distant, Bill is wonder ing what he is going to use for replacements for the 10 (count 'em) regulars of last fall's state co-rhampionshlp eleven, who graduate Friday eve. Yes, Bowerman is faced with the gigantic task of building a representative machine around only one returning veteran of the club which went through 1939 without a loss, and en gaged in claiming the Oregon prep crown along with Milwau kie. That single first-stringer due to again cavort on the local turf is Louie Thurman, blocking quarterback. Cone is the entire forward wall of Winter and Moyer, ends; Clute and Barrow, tackles; Howard and Hibbert, guards; and Harry Thurman, center. Gons also ara threa-fourths of that graat high school back field Jolting John Saulsber ry, fullback, and Bob New land and Billy Piche, half backs. Ik Orr. numbsr five back on last yaar's eleven, will rsturn for additional prap footballing, but ha was not actually a regular, or first string player. 'played some tackle in 1939, but 1 not too much, and Cap Vanda grift is another tackle aspirant. Mickey Miller and Fred Gun nette, second string flankmen, will return, and they will be . supplemented by Jack Pope. Louis Bair and Andy LaMarr. In the backfield, of course, will be Louie Thurman at quar ter. Orr, Bowerman said, would be at right half and ful'back; Cato Wray and Roger Barker, the latter up from Junior high, will be at left half; and Bob , Stead and Curt Hopkins at right half. Stead might play a I little at left half, and Hopkins might fill in at quarter or end at tlm s. And not to forget Cliff Jones, another 1939 jun ior high grad, who looks like an OK fullback.

Bowerman held several weeks of rather light spring practice, and his summation of the gen eral situation was, "Pretty seedy. The backs are fair but awful light. The line is desper ately inexperienced, and also not given to over avoirdupois." The rebuilding job this fall will probably find Jim Wallis and Claude Jones at center. Tha former saw some action last season. Jack Florey is the only experienced guard returning; others being Wes Davis, Bob Mitchell and Aubrey Taylor. Bill Wall and Jimmy Glenn On bright aspect of tha situation Is that, along with aa admittedly weakening of iaam-strength, tha schedule also will be slightly easier than s last season's terrific grind. Eugene and Coquille, two of the Tigers' toughest 1939 opponents, ara missing from the 1940 slate, and the locals will play five out of seven games at home. Weed. Corvallis, Grants Pass.

That Is a rather peculiar schedule, in that no xame is lined up for Armistice day. No vember 11, and that the final tilt is played so early. However, Bowerman, thus far, has been unable to obtain an opponent for Armistice day. In fact, he had to talk like a good fellow to get a couple of the teams he did procure. Incidentally, Ray Johnson is all through with high school football. Johnson played in sev eral games last season, but he is giving it up because of the obvious great track career in front of him. The state record- holder in the 440.yard dash has chances to attend practically every university on the Pacific coast, due to his blazing speed, and he figures that it wouldn't be worth risking the opportun ity to receive an education, by playing football and chancing injury. His coaches and every body concerned feel the same way about it. UOW THEY? STAftD National League W. L. Pet.

First the Brooklyn Dodg ers won nine straight and looked hotter than a four-alarm fire. Then the Cincinnati Reds gave the appearance of gunning for a ten-game lead by July 4. The result was inevitable, of course. The senior circuit is having its customary brawl for the lead and today the Dodgers and Reds are tied with 18 games won and eight lost. The American League is hav ing nearly as desperate a dis pute for first place between the Boston Red Sox and Cleve land Indians. The New York Yankees have assumed winning ways, and finally have escaped the cellar. Cincinnati's chances depend considerably on big Paul Der ringer, who suddenly - has changed from an exclamation point to a question mark. He has been knocked out of the box three times in his last five games and the only reason he lasted the route yesterday, as the New York Giants beat Cin cinnati 6 4, was the great faith, hope and charity of Manager Bill McKechnie. Fat Freddy Fitzsimmons led the Dodgers to a 3-1 decision over the pitiful Pittsburgh Pi rates, giving only six hits and pitching shutout ball after the first. Cleveland took first blood In Its scries with the Red Sox. winning 9-6 on home runs by Hal Trosky, Roy Weatherly and Ken Keltner. The Yankees continued their assault on all kinds of pitch ing lexcepi good) with a 16 hit bombardment that wrecked the Detroit Tigers 8-2. Babe Dahlgren had a home run and four singles. The White Sox now have won three straight including a 101 triumph over the Phila delphia Athletics yesterday. Another seven hit pitching performance, this one by South paw Ken Chase, brought the Washington Senators a 9-2 vic tory over the St. Louis Browns. Tonight's festivities should go a long way toward straighten ing out what is playfully known along cauliflower cause way as the mildewed middle weight mess. Promoter Mike Jacobs has been mulling over a plan to pit tonight's winner against Hostak, and Promoter Nate Druxman of Seattle is on hand trying to get the fight for his home town. Garcia and his right hand bolo punch go into action as 1 to 2 favorites to knock off Overlin. This corner likes the underdog In this one on the theory that Overlin, a "cutie" type of boxer, will toss a lot of annoying and baffling left hands at Garcia while staying out of the Filipino's fatal right. TENNlSlDlLF TITLESAI STAKE By the Associated Press Northern Division Pacific Coast conference tennis and golf championships will be set tled this week-end. with the Universities of Washington and Oregon the respective defend ing champions. At Moscow, Idaho, the two day tennis grind starts tomor row and concludes Saturday. Coach Jack Torney's netsters are favored to retain the tennis crown for Washington. At Corvallis, Ore., home of Oregon State college, the de fending Oregon champions will take divots on hostile soil. Team and individual honors will be decided over 36-holes Saturday. Benny Hughes of Oregon won last year with a 72-69141. NEWSOME STILL HEADS COAST LOOP PITCHERS Los Angeles, May 23. iH Dick Ncwsome of San Diego and "Kewpie Dick" Barrett of Seattle continued to pace Pa cific Coast league pitchers in games played through Tuesday. Unofficial league statistics re leased today show Ncwsome with seven wins and one loss for an average of .875. with Barrett next with six victories and one defeat for .857. Ardizoia, Hollywood, tops the strike-out list, with 51 victims. He has won three and lost six games. STARS RALLY IN SIXTHj JUNIOR NETSTERS JO BEAT BEAVERS. U; SEATTLE IMS ACORNS By Associated Press The Seattle Rainiers moved into second place In the Pacific Coast league race last night by defeating the Oakland Acorns 5-3 but they did not gain on the first place San Diego Padres, who defeated the San Francisco Seals 8-6. A three-run rally in the sixth inning gave the Hollywood Stars their second straight win over the Portland Beavers 6-3. Bill Thomas, who allowed the Stars only one run in the first five innings, went wild in the sixth. His two walks combined with an error by Outfielder Ed Coleman filled the bases. Catch er Cliff Dapper stepped to bat and rapped out a double scor ing three. "Jittery Joe" Berry, Los An geles relief pitcher, won his own game against the Sacra mento Solons 5-4 in the eighth inning when he hit a long sacri fice fly to score "Rip" Collins. Elmer Mallory, former Uni versity of Oregon shortstop, was sent in to fill the infield gap when Eddie Cihockl was forced out by injuries. He fielded faultlessly, throwing out one man at the plate and hitting three singles in four times at bat.
