Coming Week-End
A very excellent opportunity
to roar into first place In the
Oregon State Baseball league
will present itself to the Med
fori! Craters this week-end.
Thanks to the schedule, while
the Craters are battling sixth
place Hills Creek here Saturday
eve and Sunday afternoon, the
current leaders, Albany, and the
second spot club, Silverton. will
be butting heads In a like series
at Albany.
Medford at present is In third
place, a game behind Albany
and Silverton. If the Craters
could take a pair from Hills
Creek while Albany and Silver-
ton are dividing, which seems
logical, the locals would move
into a deadlock with Albany for
first place.
Thus far In the first-half pen
nant race, the Albany, Silver-
ton and Medford clubi all have
displayed they have what it
takes to win the championship.
The teams are bunched closely,
with only one game separating
third-place Craters from first
place Alco-Oaks, and the three-
cornered scramble may be even
more compressed come Monday.
The Portland Babes, League
Secretary Ray Brooks team of
Portland high scl.ool youngstei-s,
makes its belated start this
week-end by moving to Eugene
for two games. Brooks has held
his club out of action for the
first four weeks of the season,
waiting for school to let out for
the summer.
Other series this week-end will
find Portland's Jack and Jill
Tavernmen, rested after their
last week's bye, traveling to
Bend for a double-header Sun
day. For the first time this sea
son, every one of the circuit's
eight teams will go to the post
this week-end.
When Medford defeated Sil
verton, 2 to 1, last Sunday, It
was the first game the Red Sox
had lost on their home field
since 1938 . . . that was a valu
able home run Steve Crippen
belted over the left field wall
here Wednesday night, for by
accomplishing the feat he re
ceived a retread job on four
tires from the Hawkinson Tire
company . . . the Cubs recently
tried to buy Shortstop Eddie
Miller from the Boston Bees,
and the price tag read $100,000
. . . the Cubs forgot about It.

(RATERS TO HAVE
BILL LANNING ON
RUBBER
i Crippen Or Rego to Hurl Sun
day Game Rogues and
Atees Also Tangle Sunday
Manager Paul (Hoosier) Hof-
fard today nominated Big Bill
Lanning, righthanded fireballer,
to toe the Medford pitching slab
Saturday night as the Craters
and the Hills Creek Hillbillies
open their two-game Oregon
State Baseball league series
under the lights at the new fair
grounds park. The tilt will start
at 9 o clock sharp.
For Sunday afternoon's fra
cas, which will begin- at 1:30,
the Crater skipper plana to send
either Steve Crippen, right
hander, or Southpaw Jimmy
Rego against the heavy-hitting
'Billies.
A pair of lefthanders are
slated to work against Medford.
Frank Kendall will probably
fling the Saturday night game,
with Bun Keisay taking over in
the Sunday afternoon struggle.
Merle Johnson, former Clendale
righthander, may also see some
service against the Craters.
Deubleheader Sunday
Sunday's Medford-Hills Creek
scuffle will be the first game
of a double-header. The night
cap will be played between Med
ford s Rogues and the Ashland-
Talent Atees, Southern Oregon
league entrants. Fans will pay
only the one admission price to
see both these contests.
Lanning, when he fogs them
In tomorrow evening, will be
hurling his first semi-pro game
since leaving Wenatchee, (Wash.)
of the Class B Western Interna
tional league. He has spent the
past two years In organized base
ball and Is In excellent condi
tion. Manager Hoffard la confi
dent he will handcuff the Hills
Creek outfit.
The Craters will line up with
either Tommy Hawkins or Ted
Kerr back of the plate, Pat Pat
terson on first, Riney Cook on
second, Steve Crippen on short,
Cliff McLean on third. Hoffard
in right, Al Wray in center and
Rocky Peterson in left. If Crip
pen pitches Sunday, Kerr will
hold down the shortstop posi
tion. The Hillbillies, considered the
heaviest hitting club in the cir
cuit, although a little weak de
fensively, will open with G.
Keisay catching, Howard Parks
on first, Baxter on second, Nich
ols on short, Randall on third,
Homer Parks In left, Wright in
center and Fischer in right. 1
Series Important
The series will be a crucial
one for the Craters. Parked in
third place, within easy striking
distance of Albany and Silver
ton, leaders and runners-up, the
Medford club must win both
games to retain a favored posi
tion In the first half pennant
rate. If the Craters get bumped
twice they will drop io the .900
mark and say goodbye to any
titular hopes they may have.
The locals looked very good
against Klamath-Dorris Wednes
day night and they plan to keep
rolling. Manager Hoffard has
called a workout for tonight
under the lights and requests
all players to report, especially
the infielders. The drill will
start at 7:30.

Don Sugai, 24 year-old Japan
ese wrestler from Salem who
makes his southern Oregon In
augural here Monday evening
against vicious Bulldog Jackson
of Portland and Alaska, is one
of the finest legitimate matmen
now appearing on the Pacific
coast, according to Promoter
Mack Lillard.
Sugal, the Impressarlo stated,
is a master of every legitimate
hold in the business. During re
cent months he has been work
ing in Eugene, Salem and Port
land, and has proved one of the
Willamette valley's most popu
lar matmen. An ex-Eugene high
grid star, he .brings several
football maneuvers to
tne
squared circle.
Sugal and Jackson will col
lide in either the opening or
middle bout. Frankie Clemens
and Ernie Piluso, two other
scientific grapplers, are also!10 he face, a looping left to
signed to compete in one of the the body and a sharp right cross
first two bouts, and a coin will
be flipped at ringside to deter
mine which of the pair open the
card.
The main event will be be
tween Prince Selaki Mchalikis
and the Black Panther, winners
of last Monday's matches. Me
halakis defeated Piluso in the
main event, after a torrid bat
tle, while the Panther scored
a minor upset by grabbing a
gruelling decision from Jackson.
The Panther, an aggressive col-
ored boy, should furnish
the
Prince plenty of opposition.

GARCIA BAOLY TO
By Gayle Talbot
New York. May 24. fPi
The newest of the middleweight
champions is Ken Overlin, a
light-hitting but clever veteran
fighting out of Washington,
D. C.
He won the recognition of
the New York and California
commissions last night by bat
ting the daylights out of Cefer
ino Garcia, the Filipino before
a crowd of 7,500 in Madison
Square garden.
The decision of the two
Judges and Referee Art Dono
van was unanimous for Overlin
at the close of 15 hard rounds.
Garcia, who won his title by
Knocking out f red Apostoll in
the same ring last October,
looked pretty well used-up at
the final bell.
Overlin fought a nice battle
last night. With a fine left jab
lo ,ne cnops ne pourea punisn
mcnt to Garcia all the way. The
befuddled Filipino kept his
feared right cocked like a six
gun, but Overlin was too sly
to let him use it.
Garcia won only four rounds
as the Associated Press saw it,
and one of those was taken
from Overlin for hitting low.
Garcia hit the canvas for a
count of one in the first round,
and in the 14th he was loop-
i leggca tor a mom irom a
1 smashing left.

By Frank Jenkins
11HEN you have a tough,
" knotty log to split you use
a wedge, thin at the point,
wider at the base, and with all
your strength you hammer this
wedge into the log. If you have
strength to hammer It home
and the wedge remains intact,
the log splits.
If the wedge shatters near its
middle, the log holds and your
efforts to split It fail.
THE Germans, seeking to split
the allied armies in Belgium
and France, have driven in a
long, thin wedge of motorized
troops. Today's (Thursday's) dis
patches Indicate that its point
has reached the English channel
at Boulogne.
The German problem is to
keep on pounding until the log
splits. The allied problem is to
shatter the wedge.
That, in a nutshell, is the sit
uation today.
PRESIDENT Roosevelt has
been talking of a "coalition
defense administration." similar
to the coalition (combined) cab
inet just formed in England, the
(alleged) purpose being to join
Republican and Democrats in a
whole-hearted, patriotic effort
to promote national defense.
It has been assumed that Lan
don (defeated Republican candi
date in 1936) would be asked to
become a member if such a two
party cabinet were formed.
Landon announced in a state
ment issued in Washington that
if Roosevelt wants Republicans
to join in such a movement he'll
have to renounce a third term.
After a long conference with
Roosevelt on Wednesday, Lan
don says: "Political implications
are inescapable in any coalition
set-up, and Republicans can and
will participate only if the pres
ident eliminates himself as a
1940 candidate."
White House Secretary Early
(in a published statement) an
swers: "The president regrets he
has no time just now to give to
the preparation of political
statements).
yHIS simple statement would
take very, very little of
President Roosevelt's time: "I
will not be a candidate for a
third term."
It would clear the air of a lot
of doubt and suspicion.
iTEW hint of trouble In dls
patches: "The large number of Ger
man diplomats and newspaper
men In Dublin (Ireland) is caus
ing considerable alarm In Eng
land." Just how much liberty, do
you suppose, would Ireland gain
by swapping England for Hit
lerired Germany?
The American Petroleum In
stitute reports new reserves
containing 12.160.066.000 bar
rels of oil were discovered in
the U. S. during the last four
years. This equals U. S. pro
duction for the first 70 years
of the industry.

Ladies Prefer Gentlemen
With Bald Top, Says He
By Alexander Kahn
Hollywood U.R E a r 1 Car
roll, internationally famous au
thority on pulchritude, has come
to the defense of the bald-headed
men with the statement that
a man whose hair ia thinning
has more appeal for women than
the wavy-haired heroes.
And Carroll should know
what he is talking about. His
own hairline has reached the
vanishing point. Yet, many of
the most beautiful women in the
world have been seen on Car
roll's arm during his 30 years as
a public figure.
They're all wrong about this
question of men with thinning
hair not having appeal for wo
men, Carroll insists. "A man
with thin wisps of hair on his
pate has more appeal for women
than one with a thick thatch.
The lack of hair gives him an
air of distinction, or worldliness,
of a man who has accomplished
things.
"And any woman will tell
you that she prefers the em

'The mistaken belief that a
