if PAGE FOUR irEDFORD MAIL TRIBUN'E. MEDFORD. OREGON. WEDNESDAY. JUNE 2. 1940. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; Baseball Eooker Praises Brand of State Loop Ball It mi confirmed yesterday that the African Zulu Giants, hilarious barnstorming Negro baseball team, would be in town next Wednesday night, July 3, to engage the Craters in an ex hibition fracas. With the com pletion of arrangements for this gama, the number of nationally- famous clubs signed for tilts here was increased to four. The Plney Woods Collegians, another colored nine, will play her the evening of July 17. On July 31, the bewhlskered House of Davids cf Benton Har bor, Mich., will show under the local lights, and they will be followed by the Kansas City Monarchs, Negro champions of America and probably the finest barnstorming team in the world This game is tentatively sched uled for August 7. H. Witte, booking agent for the Plney Woods, House of Davids and Monarch clubs, was In town yesterday winding up plans for the appearances of his three teams. He made some very enlightening observations on the brand of ball being played in the Oregon State league. "I saw Eugene beat Albany. S to 3. last Saturday nlghi." he stated, "and I can truth fully say I've witnessed few better games anywhere. I saw five games in the West ern International league last week, and not one of them could compare with the one Saturday night. There is no doubt but that the State league U playing better ball than class D or C loops In organised baseball, and bet ter than many teams in class B." Wltte exDlained it thla wav "Your ball players in class D professional leagues are paid 189 to $90 a month; In class C leagues from $73 to $100, and in class B circuits from $83 to maybe $150 for the atari. Nat. urally, you can't expect to get expert players at class D and C salaries. The good players wouia mucn rather play semi pro Dascoail, where they re deye so much tier ffnm np a cut of the gate receipts, and are aDie to hold down steady Jobs. They make more money In semi-pro towns than they do In the lower class organized leagues, and that's why the State league, for example, boasts better players and dl playa a better brand of ball than that in many professional loops." When told that the State league probably would leave ttS Seml-nrO atntlia hnhtrtrt mA Jump into organized ball with in inree years, Witte warned that If it did fans wouldn't see the same high-class baseball they are witnessing now. "It will be the same story," he ex plained. ' You will be paving ball players less than they arc getting here now and . . u't you. won t be able to ob tain the same caliber of play ers. They will be youngsteri coming up, true, but they won't turn up the class of baseball you are seeing right now." Wltte. incidentally, remarked that the House of David team, for years the most famous trav eling nine in the country, had a 2,8S0 per month payroll That the team 1i... .. its player obligations is proof oi in year-oner year drawing power in the cities, towns and hamlets of America. When the House of David plays, they usually turn 'em away from the park. By the Associated Press. The Hollywood Starr staged a super colossal Movletown hit ting extravaganza last night and the Oakland Acorns of the Pacific Coast baseball league found themselves on the short end of a 13 to 0 score. The Seattle Rainlers widened their margin of league leader ship by trimming San Diego. 4 to 1. Still skidding, the Sacramen to Senators slumped Into sev enth place by dropping a 7 tn 0 shutout to the tail-end Port land Beavers. The Sacs got Just four safeties off Ray "Hard luck" Harrell, who struck out 13. San Francisco climbed to the top of the second division by coming from behind tn curb the Lot Angeles Angels, 3 to 4. HARRELL PITCHES 7-0 Craters JIM REGO GIVEN FLINGING CHORE FOR LOCAL NINE Cook, DiSordl or Ostrom Scheduled to Pitch for the Merchants; Game at 8:3C Jimmy Rego will toss his southpaw slants tonight as Med ford's State league Craters at tempt to get revenge against the Grants Pass Merchants, first-half champions of the Southern Oregon league, for that 8 to 3 licking they suf fered at the capable hands of the Climate City laddies last Wednesday eve. The game is called for 8:30 under the arcs at the fairgrounds pak. It is not defenitely known who will take care of the fling- inf Job for the Grants Passers, but it will be one of three right handers Jack Cook, Nig Dl Sordi or Chuck Ostrom. Di Sordl was the boy who beat the Craters last time the two clubs collided, and may again get the call tonight. However, it is believed that Ostrum, ace of the Merchant staff, will open on the firing line. Manager Tommy Hawkins of the Medfords will send his strongest lineup against the team which ended the first-half S.O.L. race with seven victories and no defeats and has a win ning streak of eight straight. Patterson will be on first. Cook on second, McDonald on short, McLean on third, Wray In right. Peterson in center and Calvert or Pacheco in left. Hadklns will do the catching. Fans Excited. Grants Pass will ' go to the post with Woods catching, Ralph Lanning on first, Black smith on second, Hlbbard on short, Gordy Howerton on third and Joe Gray and Gipe taking care of two outfield berths. The other outer gard ener won't be known until game time. Reports from Grants Pass are to the effect that fans of that city are planning to move into Medford en masse for the clash tonight. The Merchants' start ling victory over the Craters last week sent enthusiasm sky rocketing in the Climate village, and at the same time caused a considerable decline In the prestige of the local nine. Grants Pass tonight will be shooting for even greater hon ors: two straight over the State leaguers, while the Medford club will be bending Its efforts toward erasing the blot of what it regards as a "disgraceful" defeat. Manager Hawkins announced yesterday the signing to a Crater contract of Al Wimer. young southpaw pitcher who hurled for Medford high this spring and turned in a no-hit, no-run victory in one trip to the rubber. Wimer will be carried the rest of the season and may get a chance to fling occasionally. Ladies will be admitted at bargain prices tonight. FANS BATTLE AT LA. INGSiDE Los Angeles. June 28. JF) Eight thousand boxing fans some of whom may be readily identified by black eyes and mashed noses would like to see a rematch between light weight champion Sammy An gott and Baby Arizmendl. Thanks to these two. boxing came back to life In Los An geles last night. They battled so ferociously for 10 rounds that a dozen or so belligerent gents in the audience wanted to keen the action enlne- mH did. When Lieut.

STEELHEAD WITH DRY FLY; A two and a half pound steel head was landed by Bob Gil strap near the Jimmy Valentine home on Rogue river last even ing and, remarkably, the fish was caught with an absolutely dry fly, an occurrence seldom enjoyed by anglers. Bob's fly was rather small and brown with a yellow rib around it and a China pheasant tail, brown hackle with buck hair for wings. Bob made the fly himself, and stated that he had used it for the past two years with great success, al though yesterday was the first time he ever landed a steelhead with it. Bob said that he fished dry on a light tapered leader and advised other anglers that if they would do the same they would receive far more enjoy ment than usual. He also land ed eight trout yesterday. Fishing In the river Satur day and Sunday evening, Gil- strap caught his limits of trout on a number 10 hook, which seemed to be the best lure, he said. From 6 p. m. until time to quit apparently is the best time for fishing, he stated, and added that the river was very low for this time of year, prob ably the reason for dry flies being good lure. There is a fresh run of steel- head In the river, with many being taken on spinners and crawfish. HOW THEY? cir a fv National League I Jtk W. L. PC.

Phone 1300 for Towing or Wrecker Service Anywhere Anytime Lewis Super Service Screwball Title at Stake i In Galento, Baer Fracas - - : i inch By Sid Shmmlt. N. J.. June 28. W) mere shadow of his former h circumference bristles with The grudge is against Madcap I Maxie Baer. And if you've never seen One-and-a-Half Ton's waist- ! line bristling, you really should mu ow mm oume nine. Tony tangles with Madcap Maxie in the Jersey City ball park next Tuesday for IS rounds or less in a brawl for the cham pionship of the screwballs and presidency of the whackos. It seems the keg-shaped gent from Jersey hasn't felt the same about Maxie ever since he, himself, took all of Joe Louis' Sunday stuff last June and then recalled that Baer had been accused of "quitting" to the Brown Bomber back there five years ago. "Imagine any bum quittin' to Louis," he shouted. "And imag ine dat bum out of all of dem doin' It." So Tony collected himself a home-made grudge because of it. Now, some cynics may say this Is only part of the build-up for the fight, but no one, to date, has ever accused the roly poly one of being that subtle. He took the Baer bout against the best Judgment of his ad visors. Joe Jacobs before he died advised against it. Since Joe and his big cigar loft, Herman Taylor and Harry Mendel, carrying on for him, argued the same thing. They pointed out the match could mean nothing to Tony. They showed him that by his stand against Louis last year he was a cinch to get the title shot anyway, especially since the available challengers might Just as well "stood in bed." Still, Tony insisted on the Baer thing. LIVESTOCK Portland Portland, June 28.
