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.

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.

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. DlcK trrick
son of the Boston Bees held the
Philadelphia Phillies to five hits
and won 3-1.
