PX0T5 STT Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; Lowly Yanlu Get Seren Placet On AU-Stai Outfit Champion Silverton Team Plays Craters Saturday, Sunday v The fans aren't the only ones who can't yet realize the miracle has happened: that the New York Yankees are no longer kings of the baseball universe. American league managers, themselves, apparently are hyp notized by the past glamour of the four-time world champions Into believing the New Yorkers till rule the roost. The annual All-Star gama will be played at St. Louis July 0, nd competing for the American leaguers will be seven members of the erstwhile Bronx Bombers, more than will represent any ether club in the circuit. This, despite the fact the Yanks are In fourth place behind Detroit, Boston and Cleveland. Yea. the managers of the American league selected the SS-player roster which will lac the National loop All Stars. They named DIMagglo. Cordon. Ruffing, Pearson. Dickey. Itolfe and Keller. And et one of those players, all super-stars last year, has thus far earned a tenth of his sal ary. Perhaps the Yankees haven't entirely collapsed, but the fact remains that none of their play ers are performing in top fash Ion, What they are doing on that all-star team is a mystery to us, unless they were placed there solely on past reputation.

The games were just the type the scores indicate, with the Medford outfit blasting the cover off the ball to cop two games needed to stay In the state title running. Bill Reed, husky righthander, hurled the first game, and with plenty of support at the plate coasted after the first three inn ings, when he set the coast boys down' in order. Medtord drove five runs across the plate In the first frame, and continued their run-producing through the re maining six Innings. Brown, shortstop for Marsh- field, crashed a long homer to centerfteld in the final inning. Medford won the second fray the tough way, as they over came a five run deficit, and copped the nightcap 20-5. Marshfleld got to Cato Wray. local pitcher, for five tallies in the opening frame, but from that point on, Wray kept them away from the plate. Meanwhile Medford counted four runs in their half of the first, by virtue of a home run by Chuck Jandreau with the bases packed, and tied the ball game up in the third, when Hal Fawcett crossed the plate on the third baseman's error. The locals went ahead in the fourth when they loaded the sacks once more and Swaryk came through with a double, driving In three runs. They counted two more in the fifth, and then in a wild sixth inning, chased 10 counters home. Jandreau and Reed led the hitting parade with four hits apiece for the day. Reed also struck out seven men, and walked but two In the opener. Short scores: (First game) R. H. E. Medford 14 13 6 Mnrshfleld 8 9 6 Reed and Adams: Gilbert, Clabatigh and Hanning. (Second game) R.

With two All-State players In their lineup Shortstop Don! Kirsch and Outfielder Bob Bon-j ney S llvtrton'i defending Oregon and Northwest semi-pro champion Red Sox come to Medford tomorrow for a two game State league series against the Pace-Setting Craters. Sat urday night clash will start at 9 o'clock sharp, with the Sun day afternoon tilt getting under way at 2. The Red Sox, who finished third in the national semi-pro tourney at Wichita, Kas., last season after cleaning up every thing In the northwest, will be firing the works in an attempt to overtake the high-flying lo cals in the State league's second-half rag regatta. To date, Medford leads the pack with five wins and one loss, with Silverton, Albany and Eugene all snapping at the Crater heels with four victories and two set backs. Rated one of the most color ful clubs in the state, the Red box win Held a lineup com posed of brilliant performers at every position. Hal Moe will do the receiving, with Ken Manning, ex-Willamette univer sity luminary on first; Bob Cody on second, Kirsch on short, Roy Orren on third, the sensational Bonney In left, Dick Whitman, University of Oregon star, in ' center, and Johnny Oravec, famous Willamette university Little All-American football' player, in right. Manager Chet Johnson of the' Red Sox will have Del (Squeak) I Wilson and Frank Jeli, south-j paws, and Stew Fredericks, a right-hander, available for pitch- i lng purposes. Wilson probably will labor Saturday night and Jeli Sunday, although Freder icks, a young high school star,, might get a starting assignment. I Manager Tommy Hawkins of the locals, has hopes that Big Bill Lanning, who cut the first finger on his pitching hand last week, will be able to work one of the two games, probably the Saturday night affair. Steve Crippen, Rego, McAbee, Haynes and young Al Wimer round out the Crater hurling staff. Hawkins, beaned In one of last Sunday's games against the Portland Babes, Is sufficiently recovered to do the catching, and the remainder of the Med ford lineup is expected to be the same as that which has driven to first place in the second-half race. In other league games over the week-end. Bend will travel to Eugene, Hills Creek will play at Albany and the two Portland entrants, the Babes and Jack and Jill, will tangle in a pair of double-headers. K. KITTLE CAPTURES Keith Kittle won the blind bogey tournament at the Rogue Valley Golf club yesterday, re ceiving seven balls for a prire. The bogey number was 51. Low net was won by Bus Coon of Redding. Cal., high net was taken by G. Cannon of Portland and low gross went to Leland Clark. A special prize of one ball for southpaw golfers was won by Murray Marley. CINCY PAYS $30,000 FOR OUTFIELD STAR Cincinnati, July 5.
