Brooklyn, June IS. VP)
Brooklyn'! marauding Dodgen
shot oft a murderous salvo of
14 hits today to crush the Cin
cinnati Reds 11 to 6 and not
only tightened their grasp on
the National league lead to two
full games but forced the Reds
down to third place behind the
surging New York Giants.
The Dodgers disposed of
Bucky Walters with two three-
run clusters in the first three
innings and caused 'the willowy
righthander to swallow his third
consecutive defeat after winning
nine games In a row at the start
of the season. Five of the seven
hits Walters gave were doubles
and one a homer.
Cincinnati battled valiantly
with an eight-hit offensive that
Included four home runs, two
of them by Ernie Lombard!, and
succeeded in routing Tex Carle-
ton In the fourth frame, but Tot
Pressnell squelched them with
two-hit relief hurling for his
third triumph of the season.
Although the teams have met
ten times this spring, this was
the first time either had turned
back the other twice in succes
sion and it gave Brooklyn a 6-4
advantage for the season's play.

OF STATE TITLE
Portland, Ore., June 15. VP)
A bad case of the "whips
and Jingles" thwarted Harold
Salvador's fourth attempt today
to win the Oregon Amateur
Golf Championship at Riverside
Golf club.
The dark-skinned Portland
shotmaker, playing the final
round for the fourth straight
year, went completely haywire
in the afternoon 18 to lose, 8 4,
to Louis Jennings of Portland.
Marian MrDouKall, who has
won the women's title more
times than Salvador has lost
Die men's, successfully defend
ed her championship, defeating
Sissy Green, 4 3.
Salvador was 1 up at lunch,
but folded completely when it
appeared that at last his knock
on the throne room door was to
be answered.
Jennings, a public links
player who served notice of his
titular ambitions by winning
medalist honors, played consist
ently but not sensationally.
Miss Green, a huky 13-year
old, cracked out her usually
long shots but Miss McDougali'j
tournament experience proved
too much.

BOY OUTFIELDER,
A HEAVY HITTER
Hank Pacheco, 17-year-old
Oakland, Cel., high school out
fielder and a brother of George
Pacheco, second baseman for
the Portland Beavers, yesterday
signed a contract with the Med
ford Craters and may see action
this afternoon when the locals
and the Albany Alco-Oaks col
tide at the fairgrounds park in
the second tilt of their vital
two-game State league series
Today'i game will start at 2
o clock sharp.
The new Crater outfielder
has been playing with Duns
mulr, Cal., in the Northern Cal
ifornia league and brings with
him a batting average of .500,
according to Manager Paul Hof
fard, who announced the ac
qulsitlon. Pacheco is a right'
handed hitter, and considered
one of the most promising young
players in the bay area.
Big Bill Lanning, who has
won two and lost no games
thus far this season, will do
the Crater flinging this after
noon. He will be opposed by
Glen Elliott, sensational Oregon
State college southpaw who last
Sunday defeated Portland's Jack
and Jill Tavernmen, 12 to 1,
in his first State league start.
Last night's Albany-Medford
game was played before the
largest crowd of the year and
another huge gathering is ex
pected for today's clash. This
series starts off the second-half
pennant race, with all eyes
focused on the outcome of the
two-game set here. Medford and
Albany ended the first-half
race in a tie for first place,
two games ahead of second
place Silverton, and it is the
general opinion throughout the
State league that the winner of
the local series will go on to
cop the championship.
Batting averages for State
league players, released yester
day, reveal that Buster McMil
lan, first baseman for the Port
land Babes, tops the list with
a mark of .500, followed by
centerfielder . Al Wray of the
Craters with .448. All told,
there are eight Crater players
clouting .300 or better. Albany
has six regulars batting in the
charmed .300 circle.
