The Cra ters were to have held a batting and fielding drill in Portland yesterday morning, where they have been since Tuesday, WIN OVER STARS By the Associated Press The Seattle Rainiers dug In their heels last night and halted their brief skid. It took eleven Innings to beat the up-and-down boys of the Pacific Coast league, the San Francisco Seals, S to 3, but fail ure would have trimmed the Rainier margin of league lead ership to Sis games. The Oakland Acorns nicked Sacramento for their third straight. 4 to 3. Lou Novikoff, of Los Angeles, lofted a three-run homer in the ninth that made possible a 7 to 4 victory over San Diego. The Portland Beavers, all but forgotten in the league base ment until this week, made it three straight over Hollywood with a workmanlike 2 to 1 vic tory. Forrest Orrell gave the Stars six hits. His game was won in the sixth when Harry Rosen berg tripled, scoring two. The Stars flinger, rugged Ardizota. gave only a half dozen safeties in the eight innings he worked, and his relief. Hi Bithorn, gave none. The game, in contrast to the earlier ones this week, was unmarred by errors. LEONARD TO REF HOSTAK-ZALE GO Seattle. July 12. (V) The third man in the ring at the 15-round Al Hostak-Tony Zale middleweight title bout a week from tonight will be Benny Leonard, retired undefeated lightweight champion. A telegraphic poll of the state athletic commission yesterday approved him.

The Grants Pass Merchants, first-half champions of the Southern Oregon league, and the Medford Rogues, reported to have been strengthened consider ably, will collide under the lights at the fairgrounds park Saturday night in the first S. O. L. game to be played after dark this sea son. The clash will start at 9 o'clock. In the other loop tilt, Crescent City will play at Gold Hill Sun day afternoon. Roseburg, fifth member of the circuit, draws a bye. May Pitch Tungate i The Rogues, who three weeks ago held the powerful Merchants to a 9 to 2 victory, at Grants Pass, will probably have Ray Tungate on the pitching rubber, although Harold McAbee, who did a short trick with the Cra ters, may get the starting call. Tom Keevan is another hurler the locals may call on for rubber labor. Grants Pass will send Chuck Ostrom, Nig DiSordi or Jack Cook to the mound. Ostrom may get the starting assignment, as DiSordi flung last week in the Merchants' victory over Rose burg. The first-half champions will field a nine boasting four regu lars batting over .300. Joe Gray powers the Merchant attack with a mark of .475, which also is good enough to lead the league. Ostrom Is hitting .324, Woods .317 and Lanning. .316. The Rogues are led at the plate by Tungate, who is bat ting .388. Hoffard has .333 and Porterfield .318.

National league: Teamsters vs. Faber's, 8 p. m. With an estimated 1,600 laughing fans in the stands, the Chicago Colored Ghosts, barn storming softballers, handed Medford .Corporation its first defeat of the year last night at the stadium, 6 to 3. The Ghosts clowned their merry way through seven hi larious innings, scoring when ever they needed to, and wound up their dizzy show by staging a 10-minutes shadow game that laid 'em in the aisles. The col ored boys ended their shadow exhibition in slow motion, and literally brought down the house. . When they weren't running bases the wrong way and good- naturedly harrassing the Medco players, the Ghosts were clout ing Morrie Steiner, Medco hurl er, for a dozen safeties, includ- ign triples by Hood and Wilkin son, and a double by Field. In the meantime, big, lanky Wilkinson, Ghost pitcher, was holding Medco to two blows. which were bunched in the sec ond innings, with a walk, for Medco's three tallies. With two gone White walked, Keevan singled to right and Bob Wil son slammed a homer to right centcrfield. The Ghosts ran up their six runs in early innings, then broke out their wacky tactics. But while they proved they were polished comedians, they also showed Medford fans the best softbali team ever seen here. In the preliminary game, Hunt's Cratcriana nicked the Girls' Community club, 16 to 2, with A. Curry and P. Curry hurling six-hit ball for the win ners, and the losers committing 1 1 errors. There will be only one Na tional league game this eve ning. Gasco was previously slated to play Copco, but the titlt has been cancelled because ALE RAINIER STOUT Medford 1 1 ! 1 Unhappy!
