Billy Hulen Says;
Stop Hitler By

The "Stop Hitler Now" cam

but we are of the opinion they
are going about the job In a
rather complex manner ... in
atead "f appropriating great

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

don't relish those 19-8 and 17

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."

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 ing across the ing to get at

cluding his manager, Al Weill,
to calm him down. But it was
only a wild, heart-broken ges
ture. Louis stood calmly and
watched it, his face still in
