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.

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.

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.

L LEAGUE
HAS USUAL CLOSE
RACE; YANKS WIN
By Associated Press
There was time that the
National league pennant chase
looked like it might be a run
away. 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.
