PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MATT, TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1940. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says: Savage Schedule Faces Craters in Coming Ten Days Chicago Colored Ghosts Softballers Play Medco Tonight nmil l"i I ni nmin fl . . . runnr rnhrn I irtTf-rt line disDlav from eastern Ore.onlof PowhaUn. who once started The critical period of the Med ford Crateri' 1940 baseball cam paign if at hand. What the lo cals manage to accomplish in the next 10 days will spell suc cess or failure for this season. It's the well-known "stretch" staring the Hawkins gang straight In the face, and If the lads are to emerge with any sort of honors they'll have to do it against odds that are prac tically overwhelming. Starting Tuesday night with that 9 to 1 state tournament victory over Tillamook at Port land, the Craters embarked on a vicious two-week schedule that finds them playing eight games in IS days, and only one of those tilts will be played at home against the Plney Woods Collegians, bsrnstorciing color ed club, here next Wednesday night. And, to make connections for those seven clashes the Craters must play on the read, the team will travel mere 1.294 miles. If that does not give Medford the title of the state's "iravellngest" ball club, we would like to hear seme other team speak up. First, the Craters left here Tuesday on a 308-mile hop to Portland for the state tourney. They play again Friday night, then drop down to Hills Creek for a two-game Oregon State league series Saturday and Sun day. When they reach Medford Sunday night they will have put 018 miles on their speed, ometers. The following Sunday they Jump 183 miles to Bend for a State league doubleheader, and from Bend stagger on to Port land for their third tournament game the night of July 22, which is a Monday. Bend to Portland will add 187 miles to their travel table, and Portland to Medford will complete the amazing total. If the Craters can stand up under that gruelling schedule and salvage 75 percent of their games, it will be nothing short of remarkable. The burden will fall mostly on the shoulders of Rego, Lanning and Crippen, the pitchers, but those other play ers won't have an easy time of It. With eight games in 13 days, that means the three hurlers will be forced to go to the post more often than every other day, which in Itself would be quite a feat. One bright spot in the situation Is that tourna ment games, up to the finals, are of seven innings. DIZZY DARK BOYS TO PUT ON SHOW FOR SPECTATORS Steiner Slated to Pitch for Medco Girls' Teams to Meet in First Game at 8 Why Craters Entered State Tourney Osmes Tonight. Girls' game: Hunt's Crate rlans vs. Community Club, 8 p. m. Feature game: Chicago Col ored Ghosts vs. Medco, 9 p. m. As for the tourney. It looks like Medford and Albany are headed for a crucial clash on July 22. Albany Is slated to 'see action next on July 17, against the winner of to night's game between Battle ground and Bridal Veil, neither of which Is rated too strong. If Medlord gets over Gaston Dairy Friday eve. which they should do accord ing to tourney dope, the Craters and the Alco-Oaks will be paired July 22. So far as State league games re concerned, the Craters have only two more at home against the Eugene Athletics July 27 and 28. As before mentioned, the locals meet Hills Creek at Hills Creek next wecX-end, and Bend at Bend July 21. Right now the Craters are tied with Eugene for second place, a game behind Sllverton and Albany, and it looks like tough stuff from here on out, what with that tournament using up the hurlers and tiring the club in general.
