Sport Graphs Billy Hitlett Says; Pitching Will Feature Series With Alco-Oaks What may well develop into a pair of the classiest mound duela ever witnessed in thia section will take place Satur day night and Sunday after noon at the falrgroundf baseball park as Albany's Alco-Oaks square off with the Medford Craters in a State league aeries that has all the earmarks of being no less than gigantic. The Craters boast a remark able semi-pro flinging staff; that has been proved time and again this season. But so has Al bany a great trio of horsehide tossers. In short, it will be simply a case of two way-above-averago rubber corps colliding head-on, with the hitters ap parently, taking a back seat. Oscar (Red) Miller, vaUraa . southpaw, leada the Albany hurlars with five victorias in lira trips to tha post. The former Pacific Coast and Western Iniarnaitonal laagu portslder bat baln iry club In the loop but Eugene and Medford, and h hasn't faced either of those teams Tt. Dick Johnson has won three and lost one game, his lone de feat coming at the hands of Silverton by a score of 2 to 1 despite the fact that he gave up only three blows. While Johnson has a fine record, he probably won't see action against the Craters now that Glenn Elliott, the bespectacled lefthanded sensation from Ore gon State college has joined tha Alco-Oaks. Elliott, after pitching the Beavers to tbe championship of the northern division, Pacific Coast conference, this spring, worked his first tilt for Albany last Sunday. The result was a 12 to 1 win for the Oaks, with Jack and Jill Tavernmen from Portland getting just seven scat tered basehlts. This Elliott kid, incidental ly, is rated by baseball scouts far and away the greatest pitching prospect In north west collegiate circles. Don McShane, Cleveland Ivory hunter, told this writer not long ago thai Elliott "has verythlng. Including an in credible curve and marvelous control." A sophomore at Oregon Stat this year. Elliott seams destined to scale baseball's heights whan his college career is completed. In copping his five consecu tive contests, Miller has allowed a total of 33 hits, an average of seven per grme. He beat Bend, 9 to 2, with four blows: he de feated Hills Creek, 7 to 4, with 13 safeties: he stopped Silver ton, 13 to 6. with 10 hits: he let the Portland Babes down with five clouts and trounced them, 8 to 2; and last week end he pitched a three-hitter to trim Jack and Jill, 9 to 2. It is rot definitely known whether Miller or Elliott will take the first crack at the Cra ters Saturday night, but it will probably be Miller. Oscar has started all Albany's Saturday ev tilts and Manager Mac Mac Reynolds is expected to follow the same pattern here.

The eyes of the entire circuit will be on Medford when the two clubs clash, for they prov ed in the first-half that they are the class of the loop. They tied for the title, each with nine wins and one loss, and the win ner of this series will immedi ately become the favorite to take the second-half bunting. Medford and Albany were scheduled to play the first series of the season on April 27 and 28, but the games were rained out.

N. J.. June 11 W) Th Jersey Journal said today It learned from "unimpeachable sources" that ih Brooklyn Dodgers paid $200,000 to th St. Louis Car dinals for Slugger Jo Mad wick and Pucner Curt Davis. Four Dodger players also want to St. Louis. St. Louis, June 13 UP) The Brooklyn Dodgers, who ex changed their daffy ways for first place, eyed the National league pennant more manifestly tt.day with the acquisition of Slugger Joe Medwick and Pitch er Curt Davis of the Cardinals The eleventh hour deal, which brought four Dodger players to the red birds, was "the biggest money transaction .i-er in the Nutional league," Brooklyn Fresident Larry MacPhail said. However, tha exact sum if the clubs' secret. The known top check was the $105,000 which the Chicago Cubs paid the Cardinals for Dizzy Dean in 1938. MacPhail Happy MacPhail, who flew east last night after an all-day conference consummating the deal, chuck led over his new players, whose sale was surprising only in that it included Davis. Medwick, an outfielder, made his reputation with a bat. He has averaged better than .300 ever since he joined the Cards in 1932. His top was .374 in 1937 when he won the league batting championship and was voted the most valuable player. The next season Medwick drew a $20,000 salary, but his batting average fell to .322. He hit .332 last year. Medwick Booed However, the bat baron's hits hav decreased with the seventh place Cardinals' fortunes this season and his present average is .304. During the current slump he has been booed by home fans. Simultaneously, Davis, who hails from Greenfield, Mo., has slipped. He hasn't won a game this year in seven starts and has four losses. He came to the Car dinals in the Dean deal and won 12 games and lost eight his first season here. In 1939 Davis won 22 and dropped 16, carrying much ot the mound burden as St. Louis finished a close second to Cin cinnati. Koy To Cards Two of the new Cardinals "itcher Carl Doyle of Knoxville. Tenn., and Outfielder Ernie Koy of Sealy, Texas will report to morrow at Philadelphia. Neither has been at the fore front among the Dodgers this sctson. Koy was batting .209 in 11 games at tha end of last week. Also transferred to red bird registry are Pitcher Sam (Nick) Nahcm. who is now with the Louisville American Association U-am, and Outfielder Berthold Haas of Montreal In the Inter national league. Both had been out on option. HOW THEY? STAND National Ltagu W. L. Pet. Brooklyn ..... Cincinnati . New York Chicago .

GRATIS TICKETS Sun Valley, Idaho, June 13 (IP) When member schools of the Pacific coast conference give free tickets to their varsity foot ball players they do not intend those ducats to be sold, faculty representatives of the big far western circuit emphasized to day. The faculty group, meeting in annual summer session here, turned down a member's pro posal that the conference code be relaxed to give football play ers the option of receiving tickets or the equivalent in money. But the faculty representatives went further. They indicated the code would be amended to pro hibit sale of the free tickets. Varsity squad members now receive four complimentary tick ets for home football contests and two for other games. Another proposal to make Ice hockey a four-year varsity sport embracing freshmen play ers also got the thumbs down vote of the faculty men. Meanwhile football coaches of the conference, meeting in sepa rate session, banned use of white or silver uniforms for night games and reaffirmed their op position to rocker or running shifts involving linemen.
