PAGE TEN MEDFORD MATT, TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 27. 1940. Dilfil ; r-T. fe- CRATERS DEFEAT G. PASS, 3 TO 2, ON REGO HURLING Alan Wray Singles in Win ning Run in Sixth 'Goof Allows Only Two Blows Tht Medford Craters and the Oregon State Baseball league regained their lost prestige last night, but only by the skinniest of margins, as Jim Rego tossed a gleaming two-hitter at the Southern Oregon league Grants Pass Merchants before some 1,400 fans, many of them fan nettes, at the fairgrounds park. The count was 3 to 2, and it wiped out sad memories, for Medford at least, of last Wed nesday's 8 to 3 Grants Pass victory. Seldom has the Craters' ace southpaw been in better form than he displayed last night. His own wildness and both Merchant basehits combined to give the visitors a 2 to 0 lead in the first two frames, but from then on, through seven straight innings, Jimmy the Goof flung no-hit ball. He whiffed seven during the even ing and was simply untouch able after the second heat. DiSordl Loser. Alan Wray, Medford's .441 hitting outfielder, whammed In the winning tally in the sixth Inning. With the score 2 to 2 and Hank Pacheco on second base, following his walk and steal, Al powered a line single Into left field that sent Pacheco scurrying over the plate. The game-clinching run was scored at the expense of Nig DiSordl, the gent who was credited with Grants Pass' vic tory last week. DiSordi took over the Merchant hurling chores in the sixth, after Jack Cook had worked the first five stanzas for the Grants Passers, giving up three blows and two runs. Thus, DiSordl was charg ed with the defeat, as he went in with the score tied. The Craters were forced to come from behind to cop. After the Merchants ran up a 2-0 lead in the first and second frames, the Craters picked up one in the fourth when Mc Lean walked with two gone and Wray singled to right, the Chief scoring a moment later on a de layed steal as Wray Intention ally got himself trapped be tween first and second.

Tied In Fifth. Medford deadlocked the score In the fifth as Cook singled to right, Patterson sacrificed him down to second and Rego hoisted a towering fly ogainst the right field boards that Gipe allowed to fall through his hands. The ball bounced over the barrier for a two-base error. Rego, unable to locate the plate in the first inning, walk ed Hibbard, Merchant leadoff hitter, and Woods sacrificed. Joe Gray then slugged a 360 foot double to right center, scoring Hibbard. Grants Pasc made it 2 to 0 in the second on walks to Gipe and Black smith and Hibbard's single to right, scoring Gipe. That was the last smell Grants Pass had of the plate, although they attempted a be lated rally in the ninth. How erton, first man up, drew a base on balls, Rego's fourth of the game, and went to second on an Infield sut. After Os tium grounded out for the sec ond out, Ralph Lanning whaled a terrific fly to center that Peterson hauled down in spec tacular fashion to end the game Babes Next. Cook and DiSordi turned in fine pitching performances for the Merchants, holding the Cra ters to only five safeties, two singles by Wray and a double by Peterson. Both clubs came up with sparkling fielding plays, Including Ostrom's bare handed stop of Wray's single In the sixth, Wray's catch of Blacksmith's liner in the sev enth and a double-play by Med ford's McDonald, Cook and Pat terson. Rego handled seven as sists for the Craters. The Craters will face the Portland Babes in two double headers Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, the first pair beings make-ups of postponed firft-half State league games.

Sport Graphs Billy Hulet Says; No Recruiting Done by Oregon Heads On Visit Honest John Warren, frosh coach and Anse Cornell, athletic director of the University of Oregon, were visitors in Med ford yesterday, but because of the Atherton deal their trip was confined to talking with alumni of the Eugene institution and saying hello to friends. Nary a promising prep athlete did they confab with, for under the new Pacific Coast conference rules coaches and officials are pro hibited from making the slight est overtures to high school boys. They explained that contact with athletes could be be made only when the athletes, them selves, took the initiative by writing the college and stating their interest in attending that school. Then, and only then, can the coaches talk shop with the prospective student. Financial aid can still be given athletes, Cornell ex plained, but only after the stu dent desiring such a "lift" can prove that he is in nttd of help through school. A student wanting a "ride" mutt sign a long affidavit concerning hit and hit parents' financial con dition, and mutt have three referencei. it wat pointed out. Cornell said that high tchool athletes didn't yet teem to realise that they must be the first to open negotiations with the school ol their choice, and added that the colleges' handt were tied until the preppers wrote that first letter. Warren and Cornell admitted that they "liked" three of last year's Medford high grid stars, two backs and a lineman, but of course could do nothing about it until, and if, the latter took the initiative and opened nego tiations with letters to any of the Oregon coaching staff or to Cor nell. A few more Softball games like Tuesday night's and worries over attendance will undoubt edly disappear . . . three of the four tilts were as close as Hitler and Mussolini 4-3, 8-7 and 4-2 and the other, 8-3, wasn't bad . . . give the customers plenty of these tight engagements and they'll pay their dimes, never worry ... The Medford Craters aren't the only club in the Slate league having players ejected from garnet by umpiret ... Wally Kramer, Bend catcher. WW1 I DIDN'T TRADE SOONER -SAYS OREGON FARMER OFuel saving is mighty important because if you aren't careful a too greedy tractor can soon eat into the profits of your crops. Here's a farmer who got tired of high fuel bills and well, read what Walter Haines of Elkton, Ore., says: "When I realize that my toCl savings for only two months of operation have already reached $169.24, I am just a little mad that I didn't trade for a Diesel D2 sooner." HUBBARD-WRAY 29 NORTH RIVERSIDE was sent to the showers last Sunday after a beef with Arbiter Bud Russell ever a play at the plate ... Riney Cook, Crater second baseman, may miss a few games from now on because of his Ameri can Legion Junior ' coaching duties. Somehow, in compiling Crater batting averages after last week end's games, Billy Calvert was gypped out of a basehit ... he has 7 blows in 20 trips, instead of 6 for 20, and is batting .350 instead of .300, as printed Tues day . . . Russ Bean, Softball chucker brought up from Stock ton, Cal.. by Fluhrer's, and Al Wray. Crater outfielder, are old friends . . . L.il Bowerman leaves tonight for Vancouver, Wash., for his annual three-week stretch in CMTC, which starts July 2. LEGION JUNIORS Jackson county's American Legion junior baseball team, under the coaching of Riney Cook, will play the Marshfield Legion Juniors at Marshfield next Saturday afternoon in the first southern Oregon district game of the season.

A. golf championship tournament, now blessed by the promise of fair weather after three days of heavy rain, entered the second round match play stage at Ek wanok. Johnny Burke of George town, 1938 champion, and Lee Ramsel of Louisiana State, one of last year's quarter-finalists, were so well placed in the upper half of the draw that their golfing paths could not cross until the current field of 32. representing 25 widely scattered colleges, was reduced to eight for tomorrow's four round matches.

TELEPHONE 1100 Madcap Maxie Spouts Plans To "Stiffen" Two -Ton Tony By Sid Feder Pompton Lakes, N. J.. June 27. W Maxie Boer's curls ordinarily are combed back off his broad brow, but Just the same he's still like the little girl who had one lock hanging right in the middle of her forehead. If he's good against Tony Gal ento In the Jersey City ball park Tuesday night, he will be very, very good. If he Isn't the ladies weekly sewing circle might Just as well take over. Max is still a major mystery, like boarding house hash. Right now, although his training work up here isn't anything to write home about, he's talking a great fight. But talk has been about as expensive as old newspapers to the playboy pounder in the past. Still, he insists he has a distinct dislike for the "barrel that walks like a man" and will belt him out early in their 15-round fight. "I'm going td work on that fat watermelon right quick," he said today. "I'm going to cut him up for five or six rounds. Then, when he can't see any more, I'll flatten him. This is one fight I'm really looking for ward to, and I'm going to enjoy stiffening him. I don't like him nohow." As for any roughhouse stuff that two-ton may try Maxie tells you he's a "pretty good rassler" himself. At 215 pounds. Madcap Maxie is five pounds heavier than he has ever been for a major en gagement. His previous high was against Primo Camera, the night he hit old "satchel feet" on the chin and broke his ankle.
