Collegians Boast Stars at All
Posts Craters Intact
Except for Al Wray
The Medford Craters take
time out from their intensive
Orev"n State league and state
tournament battling to face the
scintillating Piney Woods Col
legians, colored barnstorming
club, under the lights at the
fairgrounds park tonight. The
game is called for 8:30 slfarp.
It will be the first home ap
pearance of the Craters since
July 7. In the interim they
copped a couple of state tourney
victories at Portland and gained
an even split with Hills Creek
In a two-tilt State loop series.
The darkies, hailing from the
Piney woods Negro school at
Piney Woods, Miss., are rated
on a par with the famous House
of Davids and Kansas City Mon
arch teams, and considerably
better than the African Zulu
Giants, who were here recently.
Coach Plays
Managed by Lee Payne, who
coaches and teaches physical ed
ucation at the Piney Woods
school and plays left field for
the club, the Collegians will line
up with Webster Herron catch
ing, John Henry Dunn on first,
iiurnell Longest on second, Jim
Wallace on short, Eugene Tyler
on third, Clarence Knight in
right and Bilbo Williams in cen
ter.
Piney Wood's starting hurler
will be selected from this array
of mound talent: Curtis "School
boy" Hollingsworth, Eddie "Lef
ty" Thompson, Leonard John
son, C. M. Bickler, Augustus
Forte, A. W. Cummings. The
team won 126 out of 142 games
played lust season against the
best semi-pro clubs In the na
tion, and has an even better rec
ord this summer.
Manager Tommy Hawkins of
the Craters is undecided who
will pitch for the locals, al
though it will probably be Jim
Kego, Bill Lanning or Steve
Crippcn. Lanning worked
against Hills Creek Saturday
night, Rego pitched Sunday and
Crippen's last start was at Port
land Friday.
Wray Pulls Muscla
The Crater lineup should be
intact this evening, with the ex
ception of Al Wray, right field.
Wray pulled a muscle again
against Hills Creek Saturday
night and probably won't be
able to see action. Hawkins will
catch, Patterson will be on first,
Hincy Cook on second, McDon
ald on short, McLean on third,
1'achcco in left, Peterson In cen
ter and Calvert in right.

15 TO 4;
Mighty Medco lost Its first
American league softball game
of the year last night to Wooden
Box, 15 to 4. in a riotous clash
that saw Catcher D'Arcy of the
winners ejected from the tilt
in the second inning and both
umpires replaced by two new
arbiters as several hundred fans
staged a five-minute demonstra
tion against the calling of balls
and strikes.
D'Arcy was chased from the
game when he protested too vi
olently to Umpire Lew Miles on
the latter's calling of Joe Pec
cia's pitches for Wooden Box.
and immediately the crowd took
up the Boxmen cause. .
To quiot the crowd, Field
Manager Riney Cook instructed
Miles and Base Umpire Fred
Lennard to switch places, but
Lcnnard refused on the ground
that it would put his brother of
ficial in a sorry light. E. H. Hed
rick then substituted Fred Sol
ler and Bill Newland for both
umpires, and the game contin
ued. At the time of the trouble
Medco was ahead, 3 to 0, but in
the third inning Wooden Box
went base-hit crazy to tally 10
runs on seven hits and an error
and ice the contest. Pachcco and
Piche hit triples for the winners
and Leavens doubled, while
Wilson and Steiner tripled for
Medco. Pacheco also scored
from first base on a single to
centerfield, on a hit and run
play.
Peccia, in pitching the Eox
men to victory, allowed only
four hits, while Steiner was
rapped for 13 by the hard-slugging
winners.
In the other American league
game. Copco tallied five runs in
the seventh inning to wallop
Catholic Men, 14 to 9. Kcvan

losers.
In the National league. Bear

It does more than identify a product, however. It tells
