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.
Surprise of the year: Henry
McLemore picked a fight cor
rectly, Baer over Calento . . .
I. Piekem didn't, as usual . . ,
Medford and Albany, favorites
for the Oregon semi-pro crown,
re both bracketed In the lower
half of the state tournament
drawing and, if both advance,
will come together in the semi
' finals ...
There will be no more soft
ball at the stadium this week,
the boys enjoying a rest over
the July 4 holidays . . . next
games will be Tuesday night,
July 0, when Medco meets an
all-star Catholic team in the fea
ture attraction of the evening
... with the gate running
nearly $300, Crater players re
ceived a "cut" of about $8
apiece after the Zulu Giant
fame Wednesday night ... the
Zulu took away BO per cent of
the gross, while Medford's en
tire net take was turned over
to the players . . .
Hank Panning is baiting
.I0 te lead the National
league la hitting, which Is
why the Oiants are up there
... from now en eeery eel
lege la the Paeifle CoaiK con
ference will get a share of the
Rose Bowl gravy, instead of
merely the two competing
teams ... la a couple of
years, when he gets heavier
and can come in there with a
fast one, young Al Wimer
should be quite a pitcher ...
Tommy White, lefthanded
hitting outfielder and first bate
man, has rejoined the Craters
after a sojourn with the South
ern Oregon league Rogues . . .
Jimmy Braddock, one of the
most popular heavyweight
champions in history, was not
introduced at the Baer-Calento
fright ... he was In the crowd,
too . . .

Medford's Amerioan Legion
junior baseball team uncovered
their big guns at the high
school park yesterday after
noon, and when the firing was
over, the locals hsd collected a
pair of wins by scores of 14-8.
and 20-5, over the Marshfleld
juniors.
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.

vantage of this sale Menl Buy at least two
pair of these fsmous shoes Nothing

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.
