Here Wednesday
Something different in the
line of barnstorming baseball
teams will be seen here Wed
nesday night when the Cratera,
following their week-long stay
In Portland for a couple of state
tournament games, go against
the Piney Woods Collegians un
der the lights at the fairgrounds
park.
Most of your traveling ball
clubs are composed of veteran
performers: men who have
played together for years and
years, like the House of Davids,
Kansas City Monarchs, Zulu
Giants, and others. But such is
not the case with the Piney
Woods Collegians.
This club is made up of young
college boys attending the fa
mous Piney Woods school for
colored lads, at Piney Woods,
Mississippi. The moment college
la out in the siring the boys,
under the management of Lee
W. Payne, head out for their an
nual barnstorming swing
throughout the nation.
While the Collegians, natur
ally, lack the experience
boasted by other traveling
outfits, their record indicates
ihey are not far behind. If at
11. In the matter of baseball
kill. Last season. In MS
games, the young Negro team
won 128. That's a record to
be proud of. and those who
have seen the club In action
claim It Is on a par with the
Davids and Monarchs. con
sidered tops. In a pair of
games against Montana State
league opposition recently,
the Collegians beat Missoula,
14 to 7 and Butte, 8 to 8.
Unless a miracle occurs, the
Craters are going to be nosed
out of the second-half Oregon
State league championship. That
miracle, which must happen, is
that Albany loses at least one
of its four remaining games, two
against the seventh-place Port
land Babes and a pair against
Billy Roos' Jack and Jill Tavern-
men.
Tied for first place with Sll
verton and Eugene, the Alco
Oaks have by far the easiest re
maining schedule, and should
go on through without a defeat.
If such happens, Mcdford can't
possibly catch up because they
are one game behind now, in a
tie with Bend for second place
with (ix wins and four losses.
Albany, Eugene and Silverton
all have won seven and lost
three.
So far as Eugene and 811.
verton ere concerned, they
also have much tougher
slates from now on out. than
Albany. Eugene and Silver
ton mutt play each other next
week-end. then to wind up the
second-half race Eugene comes
te Medford and Silverton
plays at Bend. In short, while
Albany Is taking on the Babes
and Jlllers. Silverton and Eu
gene will be bucking heads
and colliding with first divis
ion clubs In Bend and Med
ford, Yep, It looks like the AIco
Oaks are Just about "in," so far
as second-half race In concerned.
The Craters, of course, aren't
mathematically out of it yet. If
they could win their next four
games, two against Bend next
Sunday and a pair against Eu
gene here the following week
end, while Albany is dropping
at least one, there would still
be a chance. Although it's a long
shot bet it's still possible, so
hope shouldn't be abandoned
until the final results are in.
Some funny things happen In
baseball, like Sunday's game
against Hills Creek, tor instance.

Armstrong Still Man Enough
To Whip Jenkins-McLemore
By Henry McLemore
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, July 19. (U.B There is only one man whose
opinion concerning the outcome of tomorrow night's fight be
tween Henry Armstrong and Lew Jenkins is worth considering.
That man is Henry' Armstrong.
Only he really knows how
much he has deteriorated as a
fighter since 1938. when he
owned three world titles. Locked
in his mind is the secret his
muscles have told him as he
worked for the 12-round battle
with the hard-faced slugger from
Sweetwater.
With Armstrong reluctant, as
usual, to make a prediction,
there is a great difference of
opinion concerning what the
past two years have done to
him. Some of the experts would
have you believe that Father
Time has been as unkind to the
little Negro welterweight cham
pion as Henry was to his oppon
ents when he was winning three
titles. They say he is no more
the Armstrong of old than the
whisper of a conch shell is the
roar of the real surf, and that
Jenkins' dynamite fists will
cruelly expose his true condi
tion. Others, and Just as competent,
ovservers say that even Father
Time and his scythe haven't
been able to appreciably slow
down the muscular fury of the
one-time bootblack from Cali
fornia, and that he will be the
same old leather-handed dervish
once the bell calls him Into ac
tion. Frankly, I wouldn't know.
My gifts are many and varied,
but they don't include an ability
to look at a box-fighter, sniffling
and snorting and sparring
around a practice ring, and de
termine what the passing of two
years had done to him. I am
a good hand at making fudge.
Few are consistently able to
take me at tic-tac-toe. My Stars
and Stripes Forever on the mu
sical saw is touched with gentus,
and I'll pogo-stick with the best.
But I m a poor hand at spotting
erosion or corrosion in a fighter.
I thought Lou Ambers was at
his peak when training for this
same Jenkins a few months ago,
and you know what happened.
Ambers came into the ring only
a hollow shell of a hollow shell,
and the Texan all but killed
him. Then there was Galento
when he was training for Maxie
Baer. Tony looked about the
way he always had to me, but
Softball
the bout revealed him as a com
pletely stove-in barrel, and in
a condition that any first class
veterinarian would have pro
nounced as serious.
So, I'll just have to guess at
how Armstrong feels. And so
will everyone else, for that mat
ter. My guess is that he isn't
the fighter he was two years ago,
or even a year ago. My medical
knowledge is limited, but I am
quite sure that muscles don't
thrive on abuse. And Armstrong
has abused his. He has thrown
tens of thousands of punches in
his time, and taken thousands.
Now, having decided that
Armstrong has gone back, there
is nothing left to do but take a
guess at how far he has gone
back. I don't think he has
slipped enough to warrant pick
ing Jenkins to lick him. Even
if he is only two-thirds of the
man he was when he was lick
ing everybody in sight, and lick
ing the daylights out of them,
that'll be sufficient to tame the
cowboy from the plains.
If events prove me wrong,
why send me a handsome gift
to cheer me up. I ll be so de
spondent, and a little gift pack
age from all of you would re
store the sunshine to my life.

This coal, Grenfell told a con

Such a reserve would be
enough for only six weeks, but
large coal consumers, such as

"You can't tell
the Players without
a scorecard!"
The cry goes out to the millions in the nation's grand
stand. Actually it is echoing a simple but fundamental
principle of modern advertising:.
Advertising is the scorecard for intelligent shoppers.
It does more than identify a product, however. It tells
where this product is available, and at what price.
About thousands of products, thousands of necessities
and conveniences, it gives accurate information in
ttantly information that one individual could not se
cure, even after the most painstaking and wearying
search.
You can't tell the values without reading the adver
tisements in this newspaper!
