Bend Elks Here
TO
IGHT;
Bend Also to Rely on Right
handers On Mound Mc
Donald at Short for Craters
Because of the fact that Bend's
Elks have only one lefthanded
batter in their lineup, Manager
Paul Hoffard of the Medford
Craters will send his two ace
righthanded pitchers Steve
Crlppen and Big Bill Lanning
against the central Orcgonians
here Saturday night and Sunday
afternoon as the two clubs clash
in their State league baseball
series at the new fairgrounds
park.
Hoffard said today that Crip
pen, whose last start resulted in
a 2 to 1 victory over the Sil
verton Red Sox, would toe the
slab In the Saturday night game
which will start at 9 o'clock
sharp. Lanning, who hurled the
Craters to a 7 to 5 win over
Hills Creek last Saturday eve
ning, will work the Sunday
afternoon tilt.
Jimmy Rego, lefthander, and
Or Williams, righthander, will
be held In reserve, Hoffard
stated. "If Crippen or Lanning
get belted hard." the manager
said, "Rego or Williams will get
a chance to labor."
Parmer for Bend
While the Craters will be en
trusting their pitching duties to
a pair of starboard f lingers. Bend
will be doing the same. Manager
Clyde Stokoe plans to open with
Jim Farmer, big righthanded
fireballer, on the rubber Satur
day evening, with young Bob
Houtchens toiling in the Sunday
afternoon game. This pair cop
ped two games from Jack and
Jill last Sunday, both allowing
three blows.
The Craters, deadlocked with
Albany for the loop leadership
with five wins and one loss, will
take the field with only one
lineup change. Alex McDonald,
infielder from the Western In
ternational league, will be at
shortstop, instead of Crippen.
lorn Hawkins will catch, Pal
Patterson will be on first, Rincy
Cook on second. Cliff McLean
on third, Rock Peterson in left.
Al Wray in center and Ted Ken-
In right.
Fast Ball Hitters
Hoffard s decision to throw
righthanded pitching against the
fourth-place Elks was the result
of a talk with Hawkins, who has
played with Bend for the past
several years and knows every
Elk hitter like a book. Hawkins
told Hoffard "that Bill Hatch,
first baseman, was Bend's only
southpaw sticker, and that the
Elks were fast ball hitters. Hof
fard believes Crippen and Lan
ning, both curve-bailers, stand a
good chance to set the visitors
down.
While the Craters and Bend
are colliding here, Jack and Jill
will play at Hills Creek, Silver
ton will entertain Eugene and
the Portland Babes will travel
to Albany. This will be the next-to-last
week-end series before
completion of the first-half pen
nant race.

PANTHER AFTER
T
T
Jimmy Mitchell, the colored
flash from Toledo, Ohio, who
grapples under the monicker of
the Black Panther, will gun for
his third straight victory in the
local armory Monday night when
he tangles with Portland's Ernie
Piluso in the one-hour main
event of Promoter Mack Lillard's
weekly mat presentation.
Two weeks ago Jimmy upset
all sorts of dope by staving off
the vicious hammerlocks of Bull
aog jacKson, ana finally pin
ning the Portland toughie for
the match. Last Monday Mitchell
again scored a minor form-reversal
by whacking Prince Se-
laki Mehalikis in two straight
tumbles.
Mitchell is hot after his third
consecutive win and believes he
can get it at Piluso's expense.
However, Ernie will probably
offer the Negro his sternest test
yet and many fans are of the
opinion that Piluso will carry
too many guns for the ebony
hued matman.
ine scientific theme, appar
ent in the main event, will hold
good in the two supplementing
sKirmisnes. in fact, it is an all
cleanie card one of the finest
of its kind ever to be staged in
the local arena.
Don Sugai, who gave Bulldog
Jackson a whopping grappling
lesson last Monday and thrilled
the crowd with his dashing and
spectacular tactics, will collide
with Prince Mehalikis in the
middle event. Sugal is bound
to become a number one favor
