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

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. One

Crippen has copped ihre and
Lannlng has notched a pair.
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

Inclusion of Davis Comes As
Surprise Jersey Joe and
Curt Both in Slump
Jersey City. 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.

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.
