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.

Billy Hulet Says;
No Recruiting

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 ...

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.
