Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; Stop Hitler By Sending Him in Ring With Louis The "Stop Hitler Now" cam paign hai our fullest lupport. but we are of the opinion they are going about the job In a rather complex manner ... in atead "f appropriating great gobt o. do-re-mi lor armament why not limply match Adolph with Joe Louii ... if the col ored boy can do up a tough baby like Arturo Codoy In auch style as he diaplayed last night, we don't think Der Fuehrer would prove too dangerous, even with his tanks and armor ed cars ... one good left hook from Mr. Louis and Hitler and all his war toys would be re duced to Junk. Latest news of Bob Hardy, the Ashland boy southpawing for Beaumont in the Texas league, is that he flung a four hitter recently to trim Dallas, and pitched two-blow ball for four frames to aid his club In beating Oklahoma City, 8 to 1 . . . another ex-University of Oregon hurler. Bill Saylcs, is with Little Rock in the South ern Association ... his most recent trick, via the Sporting News, was a 4 to 1, seven-hit win over New Orleans. We see where L. H. Gregory, sports editor of the Portland Oregonian, was "surprised" at the fact that 1,000 fans turned out to see the Beavers and San Diego open this weeks scries . . . Greg Intimates that this at tendance figure was a pleasant surprise ... all of which makes little old Medford look pretty good, what with their estimated 1.800 at last Saturday's Albany tilt, and another approximate 1,500 Sunday ... In short, the Craters are outdrawlng the Beavers at home, or did once, anyway. Pepper Martin, who Is said to wear the most soiled uni form In the National league, has his counterpart In the late league . . . Al Wray of the Mediord Craters Is the fellow we mean) his monkey suit looks like it was never cleaned and Al wean It like he never wants It to be . . which is OK, because dirty nlform means one thing the wearer la not afraid to hit the soli around the bags ... Martin. Incidentally, has not shaved since the Card inals started winning, and Is having trouble getting Into the hotel dining rooms. There was talk recently that Softball here might do an el foldo because the gate receipts weren't paying for the lights . . . however, latest reports are to the effect that It will carry on the fight . . . Softball hasn't been pulling them in too well. In comparison with the last two years, but If by some hook or crook those high-scoring games could be eliminated and some tight pitchers' battles displayed, the crowds would most certain ly pick up . . . fans like a cer tain amount of action, but they don't relish those 19-8 and 17 10 things.

Tommy MEDFORD MEETS' JACK AND JILL ISJEEK-END Change in Managers Made by Directors at Meeting After Loss to Grants Pass A new manager. Catcher Tom my Hawkins, will lead the Med ford Craters into their two-game Oregon State Baseball league series against Portland's Jack and Jill Tavern Saturday night and Sunday afternoon at the fairgrounds park. Saturday eve tilt la called for 8 o'clock, while the Sunday game will start at 2. Hawkins yesterday replaced Paul (Hoosler) Hoffard as skip per of the Craters, the change being made by the board of directors of the Medford Athletic association at a luncheon-meet ing at Valentine's. Hoffard was informed of the boards action last night and a short time later Hawkins waa notified and ac cepted the managerial Job. Hoffard s replacement by Haw- klna was made "in the interest of the team," it was stated by C. H. Davis, president of the as sociation, which sponsors the State league Craters. "It was felt by the board of directors that Hoffard hadn't been getting the most out of his playera and that a change waa necessary If the club was to continue as a pennant contender," he ex plained. "Paul's strategy in close games and his handling of Crater players also had been questioned. and although every member of the board expressed his friend ship for 'Hoosler,' it was their opinion that he should step out In favor of someone with fresher ideas." Change Follows Loss The change in managership came on the heels of Medford s 8 to 3 loss to the Southern Ore gon League Grants Pass Mer chants Wednesday night, when the visitors pounded over six runs in the ninth inning. Hot fard drew criticism when he left Pitcher Virgil Haynes on the mound throughout the rally In stead of sending Southpaw Jim my Hego in to pitch to Woods, a left-handed batter, with the bases loaded, two out and the Cratera leading, 3 to 2. Haynes walked Woods, forcing In the tlcing run, and Howerton then hit a home run clearing the bags. Hoffard received news of the board's action with mixed emo tion. "I've done my best with the team, and if It hasn't been good enough and they want me out, there is nothing I can do. I wish Hawkins and the team the best of luck, although it looks to me like the action was taken pretty hastily and merely be cause we dropped a ball game." His appointment as manager came as a big surprise to Haw kins. After accepting the posi tion, he said: "I believe I can get the best out of the players, and they will play ball for me. We will have a hustling club and fight for everything, and will try to play smart baseball. I be lieve In the hit and run play. and we'll have signs for that, the rrilice, the squeeze, the steal and other maneuvers. We've got a fine club and a fine bunch of boys."

QU"r If il P'Nf E TKO OVER GODOY Referee Stops Fight After Chilean Down Twice Godoy Beaten Horribly New York, June 21a). Joe Louis' next defense of his world's heavyweight title bout will be in September against the winner of the Tony Galen-to-Max Baer bout, Promoter Mike 'Jacobs announced today. Bear and Galento clash in Jersey City. July 2. If Galen to wins, said Jacobs, he'll meet Louis in New York, But If Baer is the victor the fight will go to Chicago. By Carle Talbot. New York. June 21. VP) Battered Into a terrible condi tion by Joe Louis' lethal fists and only semi-conscious, Ar turo Godoy of Chile yet was able to lift his hamburgered features down In the dress-in room at Yankee Stadium last night and say proudly: "But I can take It. can't I? Sure, Arturo can take it." There wasn't much doubt : Kbnui that. He had been knocked down and out in the eighth round of a fight that was too brutal and bloody to witness with any relish, but he had acquitted himself witn courage. 28.000 See Fight. In one minute and 24 sec onds of the eighth Louis had accomplished what he failed to do In 15 rounds against Godoy last February. A crowd of 28 -000 got the thrill it was look ing for. The Chilean had been down twice under terrific punish ment before Referee Billy Cav anaugh stoppped It. He was up but out on his feet after tak ing a count of six when the bell ended the seventh chap ter. His seconds worked he roically to send him out for the fatal eighth, but would have been more merciful to have left him on his stool. Louis, never a man to let his wounded prey escape, tore Into the semi-blinded Godoy savagely, and in a minute had dropped him for a count of eight. Again the Chilean groped his way erect, only to run into another hurricane of lefts and rights. A final short, sharp right pitched him for ward as blood gushed from a long cut over his eye. Cava- ! naugh then stopped It. I Wild Gesture. j When he realized what had I happened Godoy went plung- i ing across the ing to get at , Louis and it took the strenuous National Wooden Box Week, June 17 to 22 Ship In Wooden Boxes Ask Your Wholesaler To Ship In Wooden Boxes HELP ONE OF OUR LARGEST INDUSTRIES IN THE WEST efforts of four or five men, In cluding his manager, Al Weill, to calm him down.
