PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON'. THURSDAY, MAY 30. 1940. 1 S f ' 7Sn WALTERS BLANKS i M ninATR v-" 1 J BEND ELKS OFFER SEVERE IEST FOR The exalted position of the Medford Craten, deadlocked with Albany for Oregon State league leadership, will be seri ously endangered the coming week-end when Manager Clyde Stokoe's Bend Elk invade this town for a two-game series Sat urday night and Sunday after noon. For while Medford ia tackling an admittedly powerful foe In the Bend club, Albany, the other loop pace-setter, will be facing the Portland Babes, who have yet to score a victory. In short, the Craters will be colliding with a much stronger opponent than will Albany. Bend, fresh from two spark' ling wins over Jack and Jill last week-end and firmly entrenched in fourth place, will send a vet eran club against the Craters, Jim Farmer and Bob Houtchens are expected to divide the hurl ing chores, with Wally Kremers catching Farmer and Murel Nehl receiving for Houtchens, Big Bill Hatch, long a State league star, will hold down first base for the Elks; Harlow Bur ton will be on second, Bob Douglass will take care of short and Jack Cordon will perform t the hot corner. Andy Hurney, a member ot last year's great Silverton team, will handle one outfield post, with George Walker and Clyde Aske roaming the remainder of the outer garden. Hurney and Walker provld" the extra-base hitting power for the team many believe will eventually wind up with tha flag. Alex McDonald, two-year vet eran of the Western Internation al league and coach of Grass Valley, (Ore.) high school, re ported to the Craters yesterday, signed a contiact and obtained a Eood job his first day in town. Ha will probably play shortstop against the Elks. McDonald spent the entire 1939 season with Yakima, (Wash.) of the W.I.L.. batting .270. The year before he played with Bcllingham, which club won the playoff championship, and hit over .3(J0. McDonald has played baseball once before In Medford, two years ago when the Southern Oregon league Craters met Bcllingham in an exhibition game at the high school park. Although McDonald perform ed at third base in the Western luternational, he has aad experi ence at shortstop and will be used at that position here. The Craters have slated a workout for 3:30 p. m. today at the fairgrounds park, and all players are requested to report lor batting and fielding drills. 'i A MA 'nHIR .?W.

By William O. Hsnlon (UP Press Staff Correspondent) Chicago (U.PJ The monthly bulletin -of the Field Museum ot Natural History reports in a spring issue on the phenomenal courtship style of the bird known as Prince Rudolph's blue Bird of Paradise. This amazing bird, the bul letin says, habitually hangs up side down during its period of courtship. I (Not so long ago a New York attorney attired himself In full dress and stood on his head in front of the Metropolitan opera on opening night, hoping to regain the affection of an estranged wife). The scientists observe that during the odd display the bird swings In this position for sev eral minutes. (In Missouri a blonde stenog rapher had suitor arrested be cause he chained himself to tree near her home for several days). The bird clings to a branch with its feet, the bulletin says, "quivering . its plumes in an ecstasy of sheer abandon." (In Nebraska recently a man wrote love letters in the sky with an airplane and a trailing plume of smoke in an effort to regain the love of a wife who wouldn't speak to him). Prince Rudolph's blue Bird-of-Paradise is "the most ornate species of all," the bulletin con tinues. "The delicate form of its nuptial plumes bears marvelous pastel shades of blue, lilac, mauve and maroon." (Among the spring ensembles worn by college students is one featuring green hat, cream top coat, brown-striped shirt, red-and-gold necktie, hounds-tooth tweed coat, brownish slacks and yellow shoes). The bulletin does not Indicate what the female Is doing while the male is attempting to inv press her. Birds-of-Paradise are found only In New Guinea and nearby islands, the bulletin says. Ex-Slave, 86, Just Draws Is Enigma of Art World EIAPPLEGATE PUPILS: By Walter Dustmann United Press Staff Correspondent Montgomery, Ala. (U.R) Uncle Bill Traylor himself an enigma to the art world. Tha 86-year-old ebony Negro. a former slave who now lives in a nook of a Montgomery un drrtaking establishment, bega painting with crayons on the, back of wooden boxes about six ' months ago to keep from "sit-j ting around" a poolroom all day. Today his odd. often grotesque pictures have been recognized by art critics as containing an element of genius, something be tween the cave pictures of pre historic times and the modernist work of Picasso. The enigma of the bearded, il literate old Negro is that spon taneously he has acquired a technique that most artists spend years of study to culti vate. His numerous drawings exhi bit composition and technique the arts of perspective and shading all of which Traylor has never ever heard. He Just ;, 4 TO 0, FOR EIGHTH WIN By Judton Bailer Associated Press Sports Writer. Sports "experts" eventually get used to having their bad guesses thrown back In their faces, but the fellows who pre dicted Bueky Walters wouldn't do so well this year must have had an uncomfortable con science about every fourth day lately. The lean and languid star of the Cincinnati Reds mound corps Just marked up his eighth victory without defeat, 4-0. over the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday and is so far out in front of his pace of last year that there is no comparison. This triumph raised the Reds again into a virtual tie with Ilrooklyn for the National league lead. The Dodgers, whose small percentage margin stems from the fact they have played fewer games, were idle yester day along with the New York Giants. Atley Donald, made his first start of 1940 and held the Wash ington Senators to four hits in giving the New York Yankees their fifth straight victory, 2-1. Bill Butland, a six foot six inch rookie, made his first ap pearance for the Boston Red Sox and won an 8-3 decision over the Philadelphia Athletics although giving up 12 hits. Bespectacled Bill Dietrich made his first start of the season for the Chicago White Sox and salvaged fifth place with a 4-3 triumph over the bt. Louis Browns. Bob Feller achieved his sev enth success with an eight-hit 4 job against the Detroit Tigers. In the National league the St. I.ouis Cardinals stepped up to fifth place with an 8-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs. One of the day's best pitching performances came from an un expected quarter.
