With two incredible last-ln-nlng rallies, Medford's fighting Cratera captured a pair of wacky, dizzy and utterly left handed victories from the Port land Babei yesterday to make it four straight conqueata in their Oregon State league aerlea at the fairground! park, and rocket to the loop leadership aa Silver ton dropped a couple to Jack nd JiU. The tint contest, of seven frames, went to the Craters by score of 8 to 7, thanks to a four-run explosion in the last inning. The second tilt, also stated for seven heats, flared clear into the tenth inning be fore the Cratera could hammer over the run which gave them 7 to 8 win. These victories followed in the footsteps of Jimmy Rego's double blanking of the Babes In a double-header Saturday night, 1 to 0 and 5 to 0, and sent Ray Brooks and his young sters back to Portland literally tearing their hair. For which they can't be blamed, for three of the four clashes went to Med ford by a one-run margin, and in . the two Sunday tiffs the Babes apparently had both games riveted, only to see their laurels yanked from them by a Crater club that didn't know how to lose. X-Reys Taken Practically everything that could happen in a ball game happened in those two Sunday tilts. Manager Tommy Hawkins of the Cratera was accldently beaned In the eighth Inning of the nightcap by one of Buster McMillan's pitches. Knocked un conscious, he finally came to and was rushed to Community hos pital for x-ray pictures, which revealed that his skull was not fractured. Ha returned to his home and may have to remain quiet for a few days. He was not seriously hurt. The umpires, who were given a bad time throughout the cries, ousted a total of four players from both games, three of them In the wild-eyed, hyster ical nightcap.

Crater first sacket. was chased in the sixth Inning of tha second game when he Jawed too harsh ly at limp Reagel for being called out at second base on an attempted steal. Joe Peccia, Babe outfielder, was chased by Ump Al Drolette in the eighth inning of the second fracas for throwing his bat in anger after striking out. Bob Llnde, Babe rightfielder, was run clear out of the park by Arbiter Drolette, also in the eighth, after he struck out and used profane language. Manager Hawkins of Medford was ousted in the sev enth inning of the first game for calling Umpire Reagel "Joe Bush." That 10-lnnlng finale was ter rific. Behind, 4 to 8. going into the last half of the seventh and final frame, the Craters clubbed over two runs to tie the score. Crippen and Calvert singled and Cook walked, loading the bases Wray grounded out, Crippen scoring, and McLean singled to center tallying Calvert with the equalizer. McDonald Scores Then, in the 10th, Alex Mc Donald doubled to left, went to third as Haynes filed out to right, and scored after Wolcott caught Crippen's long fly in left field. Cliff McLean pitched the last three innings for the Craters and was credited with the vic tory. He relieved Crippen at the start of the eighth inning, after Crip had hurled and won the first game and worked seven frames of the second. Buster McMillan, Babe first-baseman. hurled tha last three and one- third innings for his team and was charged with the loss. Mc Millan replaced Southpaw Jack Carstens with one out in the seventh and the score tied. The Craters Jumped into a 3 to 0 lead with a run in the first on Cook's single and Wray's double, and got two more in tha second on a walk to Hawkins, Crippen's single and an error. The Babes tied it In the third on Koch's single, Calvert's error, Peccla's double and an Infield out. Medford went ahead, 4 to 3, In their fourth when Pacheco got life on McClusky's boot. stole second and scored on Amacher's bad throw to second. But the Babes again took the lead in the sixth on singles by Brown, Martenson and Carstens. When the Babes got another in the seventh, making it 8 to 4, it appeared all over for the Cra tera. McMillan reached first when Peterson dropped his long fly to center, and scored on Linde's double to left. Then came tha Craters score-tieing rally in their half of the seventh, and their consequent winning run in the tenth. -Lanning Doubles Even mora dramatic was the manner in which the locals Jerked the first game from the coals. The score was 7 to 4, Babes, when the Hawkinsmen came up In the seventh for their last licks. McLean popped out, but Wray drew a walk. Marten son booted Pacheco's grounder and the latter went to second, with McLean taking third. Man ager Hawkins then resorted to some successful strategy. He sent Big Bill Lanning in to hit and Bill responded with a roar ing double to left, scoring Wray and Pacheco. Crippen singled sharply to left and McDonald, who was running fur Lanning, came across with the tieing run. Crip pen raced clear to third base on the poor throw-In from left field, bringing Billy Calvert to the plate with two away. Cal vert rapped a hard drive off Pitcher birch's glove and Crip pen spiked the plate for the ball game. Crippen went tha route for Medford, while the Babes used three hurlers, with Birch tak ing the ili loat on the chin. The Babes gut away to a 4 to 0 lead In the third on Carloa clo s single, a fielder s choice, McClusky's walk, I'eccia's home run belt over the left field wall with two aboard, McMillan's double to right and Brown's freak double to short left that Calvert lost in the sun. Tied In Fourth The Craters picked up two in their half on two walks and Mc- ,ean a aouDie lo lrtt, and tied it at 4 to 4 in the fourth on Pa checo's double to left, Patter I son's single to right and a double steal, with Patterson scoring. I A walk to McMillan. Mc- Lean's error, Koch's single and , Amacher's double gave the Babes three in the fifth and ap parently sewed up the game. They alayed ahead, 7 to 4 until the last of the seventh, when the Craters pulled their big ral ly to win. Al Wray, Crater outfielder, enjoyed a great series. In the four games he belted three doubles, a homer and two singles In 13 trips. Crippen hit four for seven In Sunday's games, and McLean hit six for 18 In the four tilts, including a triple and double. Next Vednedey night the Craters play the African Zulu Giants under tha local lights. and next week-end tangle with tha Silverton Red 6ox, here.

N. J., July -IJP Apparently a beer glass, sailing through the air with the greatest of ease, was too small a detail to change Tony Galen to's mind today about his ability to belt out Maxle Baer in the local ball park tomorrow night. Tony and Madcap Maxie wound up their training yester day, such as it was, but the round gentleman from Orange was around today sporting a bandage on his chin, covering a cut brought about by the afore mentioned beer glass. Complete details were still the secret of Tony's barroom today, but the Newark Star Ledger found wit nesses who reported Tony hsd been having a dispute with his brother Russel, who pitched a beer glass at him In a moment of excitement. He received cut about an inch long, they said, and was taken to a physician's office for treatment. However, Mike Jac obs, who is promoting tomorrow night's 'battle of the bums," an nounced Tony's managers had advised him a little thing like a split chin wouldn't bother Two Ton. 'They told me," Mike ex plained, "that Tony's injury was only minor, and that he would fight on schedule tomorrow night." The great man himself was heard from today. In a telegram to the Associated Press, he said: "I am okay. Will fight Max Baer tomorrow night." Scores Yesterday Amartcaa League Cleveland 7-1, Chicago 5-3. Boston 8-5, Washington 9-4. New York 4-2.
