B Q TO OPPOSE BEND Battling tooth and nail for the first-half pennant in one of the most bitterly-contested races In Oregon State league history, the Medford Craters collide with Bend's powerful Elks at the fairground field this afternoon at 2:U0 In the second- game of their two-tilt series. The first fracas was played last night. Big Bill Lanning. ace right hander, or Jimmy Rego, south paw. Is slated to fling against Bend today, with the Elks shooting Bob Houtchens, star board pitcher, back at the lo cals. Prior to last night's game, the Craters and Albany were dead locked for first place, each with five wins and one loss, with Silverton trailing in second spot with six victories and two de feats( and Eugene in third with five and three. Bend held fourth position with three and three. With the first-half struggle ending next week-end, the Cra ters desperately need a victory this afternoon to remain in the running. Albany is playing the Portland Babes this week-end and is expected to sweep the two-game series, putting it squarely up to Medford to at least break even against the fast-coming Bend club. Bend came to Medford strengthened by the acquisition of Wally Graier, all-state short stop of the 1930 season, and both the defensive and offensive power of the team Immediately skyrocketed. Murel Nehl, catch er and outfielder, has been Bend's big offensive gun thus far, with a batting average of .383. But Andy Hurney, Bill Hatch, Jack Gordon and Walker are expected to break loose any moment. Medford, also, will take the field today with a new short stopAlex McDonald, young Grass Valley (Ore.) high school coach and two-year vet of the Western International leanue. The Craters have been powered at the plate by Wray, Crippen, Cook, McLean and Patterson. State league batting averages, not including games of last night, reveal that Roy Orren. chunky little Silverton third baseman, is leading the pack with a hair-raising .552 from 18 blows in 19 trips.

' HMO r"l H !,,) I S T Mainly because of the appear ance of Don Sugai, the sensa tional Japanese matman from Salem whose dazzling maneu vers disgraced Bulldog Jackson last week. Promoter Mack Lil lard looks for a near-capacity crowd' to Jam the armory to morrow evening for his 100 per cent scientific grapple presen tation. Sugai, who collides with Prince Sclaki Mehalikis in tht six round middle attraction, scored a terrific hit with customers who witnessed his complete and thorough victory over Jackson. The Jap boy, clean as a whistle, displayed a remarkable variety of plain and fancy tactics. Hi speed and cleverness actually bewildered the Bulldog, and local clients are of the opinion that Sugai is definitely on the road to a word championship. With Mehalikis as an oppo nent Monday eve, the Jap flash will have an opportunity to open wide his bagfull of tricks. The Prince likes nothing better than to face a clean, clever opponent, and with both grap plers cutting loose with their entire legitimate guns the result should prove to be a hair-raiser.
