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

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.

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.

that Baer had been accused of
