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.

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. Lillard expects the
plant to be Jammed to the raf
ters.

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.
The Babes i won 7-4 Saturday
night.
Bend handed tha fading Sil
verton team a double drubbing
at Bend, 9-4 and 11-8.

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.

John Gitzen and Reinklng two

McAbee, Tungate, Kevan and
Hampel combined to pitch five

Gold Hill's two tallies being
scored off Tungate on three
hits. McAbee, in three innings,
allowed one hit, Kevan in two
frames gave up one safety, and
Hampel, pitching the ninth, es
