PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRTBTTNT. MEDFORD OREGON, MONDAY, JULY 2f. 1940. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; Eugene Hangs Up Major Victories In Medford Feud Medford and Eugene athletic rivalry, probably the bitterest of an lntcrsectional nature In tha state, ran hot and heavy over tha week-end, and tha Wil lamette valley town certainly got even for put defeat In flicted by local teams. First it was the Eugene Amer lean Legion Juniors taking two straight games from Medford juniors to 1 win the district 3 and 4 championship and earn the right to enter the state finals. Then, to add insult to injury, the State league AUv letics bounced the Craters twice In the loop's second-half finale. Thus; the score for the week end was Eugene 4, Medford 0. If that doesn't wipe out mem' ories of Medford high's 20 to 6 gridiron defeat of the Axmen last fall, and of Black Tornado victories the two previous years, Eugene must be pretty hard to please. Although, ther lost out In ' tha eecond-half pennant raca. the Craters still have an ex ' callent chance to emerge as , State league champions. The first-half title hasn't been de cided yet. and won't be until the locals and Albany play that two-game series which should have bean staged In the first half but was post poned because of rain Albany has another post poned first-half contest to make up, against Eugene, and Man ager Monroe Dean of the Ath letics said Sunday that the game probably will be played after Medford and Albany get through with their two makeup games, slated for next week-end at Albany. If the Craters can get an even split with Albany in the postponed series, they will still be in the first-half race, and if they down the Alco-Oaks twice they'll automatically be come first-half champs and step into a playoff series with the second half winners for the loop crown. John Kelly, writing from Washington, D. C, says: "Draft plans also contemplate not dis turbing college students before finishing their courses." so ath letic coaches of University of Oregon and Oregon State, along with mentors the nation over, can give a sigh of relief. If that conscription bill ware to include collage stu dents, and were to be passed by congress, what a sock it would maen to football, bas ketball, baseball, track and ether learns in the country's colleges and universities. It would practically eliminate competition in the halls of higher learning, and more than one coach would be out of a Job. But, so long as the draft plans don't include students still at tending college, grid aggrega tions and ethers will be un touched. The boys will be allow ed to finish their four years before shouldering arms, and everybody will be happy. APPENDICITIS ST1KES Evanston, 111., July 29.

Danny McShane Faces Goodrich illlllll ninrnirn I'lllll TAIHIM mini A (Peterson lovinilv held tha hall. mm mm TO'GIVE M'SHANE TERRIFIC BATTLE Wagner, Kenaston Brawl in Middle Go Clingman Meets Nezaria'n in Opener Jitterbug Danny McShane, the scourge of Pacific coast grap pling rings, and Jimmy Good rich, a favorite eon of Notre Dame, square off In the Med ford armory tonight In a main event struggle that promisse a rip-roaring time for all con cerned. McShane, winner over George Wagner last week, and Good rich, conqueror of Joe Lynam on the same card, will move from their corners tonight al most "even money" In the minds of an expected capacity crowd of ladles nlfthters. McShane will bring into play and rely on his terufic pile driver, with which he defeated Wagner, while Goodrich will take his best shots with sonnen bergs and flying tackles, which he learned on the gridiron. Although McShane has the gaudiest reputation, many fans believe Goodrich will beat him. They point out that Jimmy will have a substantial weight-advantage, that he is rugged and won't be overcome easily by Danny s dirt, and that he boasts the offensive ability to stun the former light heavyweight cham pion into Insensibility. Kenaston Favored. A match earmarked to be almost as sensational as the top bout Is the middle engagement between George Wagner and Bob Kenaston, the Gold Hill toughle. Like the main event, this struggle will pit a clean and acientific matman, in the person of Wagner, against a citizen who doesn't believe In the rules as they were origin ally scribbled, as personified by Kenaston. The Gold Hiller. with his devastating crab and swivel. will be a slight favorite to beat his scientific opponent, although Wagner is certain to make a great match of it and possibly overturn the dope bucket. The opening match will see a newcomer making his north west debut. He is Mike Neza rian, a big, nard-muscled Arme- ian who, at times, is Inclined to ward the rough side. Mike will do battle with Otis Clingman, a popular fellow here and a le gitimate matman. All purchasers of ringside or balcony ducats will be given the same number to admit a lady free.

ALBANY DEFEATS JACK-JILL TWICE By the Associated Pres Eugene emphatically demon strated its determination to win the second half championship in the Oregon State Baseball league by belting out a double victory Saturday and Sunday over no less an adversary than Medford. Albany, tied with the Lane county team for the lead, kept pace but had a much lighter assignment. The Alcoa brushed off Jack and Jill Tavern twice, 16-8 and 9-6. Frankie Kendall, Hills Creek, pitched his second consecutive shutout, 13-0, with the Portland Babes the victims. The win gave the Hillbillies only an even break for the series, however.

So far as the second-half race for the Oregon State league pen nant is concerned, Medford's Craters are all washed up. That was determined Satur day night when the Eugene Ath letics rapped the locals,. 7 to 5, in 11 innings, and to place fur ther emphasis en the knockout those same Athletics trimmed our lack-luster boys yesterday at the fairgrounds park, 4 to 2, in a pretty neat pitchers' battle be tween Eugene's. Bob Wiltshire and Big Bill Lannlng. The former had all the best of it, what with a five-hit, six strikeout performance, but Lan nlng didn't do badly although allowing 10 blows and fanning couple. Wiltshle's five socM though, were scattered over as many Innings, while the Ath letics were able to bunch their bingles for the necessary tallies. The Craters appeared mighty weary from all their traveling about, and that lack of the old hustle and Wiltshire's flossy flinging was too much for them to overcome. Next season, it is hoped, the boys will forget this state tournament business and tend to their State league knit ting. Jumping 273 miles to Sil verton Friday for a tourney game, then coming home Satur day for the Eugene series cer tainly didn't freshen up the lads and they showed it. As in Saturday night's contest the Craters got away to a nice lead in the first inning yester day, but they couldn't maintain the pace. Riney Cook's hot sin gle to left-center scored Peterson who had received life on an error, and Wray, who had walk ed and stolen. Those two runs completed the Medford scoring production tor the afternoon, as Wiltshire hurled eight straight scoreless Innings. The Athletics, a nifty club, pecked away at Lanning and got their first tally in the fourth on an infield blow by Mebesius. Johnny Dunn's double to left and Taylor's skyscraper to Peterson in center. The visitors tied it in the fifth when Steltzer walked. Manager Monroe Dean sacrificed and Phillips busted a single to right. What proved to be the winning counter came across in the scv- enth on Stcltzer's single to right, another sacrifice by Dean and Phillips' single that Calvert Just missed at short. But to make things certain, Eugene got another in the ninth Dean singled to left and Bill Carney, the University of Ore gon flash, dropped a Texas leaguer into right center. While Peterson lovingly held the ball. finally tossing it to Calvert, Dean made the circuit. That's the way it went all day. When the Athletics needed runs they belted them across, or were presented with them. On the other hand, the Craters couldn't clout in the clutches, as in the eighth ,when Calvert doubled into the centerfield sun with one gone and Wray whif fed, and McLean bounced out. Cook and Calvert each hit twice, and Patterson once for the Craters, while Dunn, Dean, Phillips and Steltzer got two apiece for Eugene. The Saturday eve tilt was thriller, going 11 frames and ending after midnight. With the score 5-5 in the 11th, Steltzer walked, Dean sacrificed and Carney singled to . left scoring Steltzer. Mebesius then singled to center tallying Carney for the ball game. Clyde Carlstrom, the Klamath Falls curve-baller signed by the Craters to bolster tournament tired -mound staff, was charged with the loss. He relieved Rego in the ninth, after Jimmy went out for a pinch hitter, and altho he got by the ninth and tenth innings OK the 11th was disas trous. Rego, incidentally, pitched nine innings Friday night against Jack and Jill at Silver ton; then came right back Sat urday evening and flung nine more before Carlstrom took over. Young Jack Richards, the sen sational southpaw, held the Cra ters scoreless after the second inning, allowing only four hits over nine heats. Medford was off to a 5 to 1 lead in the first two stanzas, but they couldn't hold it. Eugene tied it in the eighth on Mattison's triple and Taylor's infield scratcher and, of course, won it in the 11th. Peterson hit two singlet Sat urday, Pacheo tripled and Haw kins doubled, while for Eugene Dunn tripled, doubled and sin gled, Dean doubled and singled and Mattison tripled and sin gled. One of the greatest fielding plays seen here in years occur red in the Saturday game. Dean. ex-Coast leaguer playing second tor Lugene, went deep back of the bag to nab Peterson's boun cer; then, while still In the air. he whirled and fired Rocky out at first base. Eugene's double win over Medford, and Albany's sweep of their series with Jack and .Till Tavern, left the Athletics and Alco-Oaks deadlocked for the second-half title, and made ne cessary a playoff series to deter mine the winner.
