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.

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.
