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. Pat Patterson,

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.

Craters play the African Zulu
Giants under tha local lights.

NJURY BY BEER
GLASS FAILS TO
RUFFLE GALENTO
By Gayla Talbot
Jersey City. 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."
