PAGE FOUT? MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. SIEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 81. 1940. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; Citzen Betters Major Mark For Second Basemen When Second Baseman John ny Gltzen handled those 16 fielding chancci against Gold Hill Sunday, there was no doubt but that he let Southern Ore gon league record for the num ber of chances accepted in one game by a keystone guardian. Far more Interesting, how ever Is the revelation that the Rogue player came within one chance of equalling the major league record of 17, established In 1921 by Jimmy Dykes when he was playing with the Phila delphia Athletics. And even more startling Is the fact that Gilsen. In tak ing personal car of 14 as sists, actually DID shatter the major loop mark of 12. which Is held by many players, ac cording to the All Sports Rec ord Book, written by Frank O. Menke. Johnny's 18 chances were composed of 14 assets and two putouts. His two putouts, of course, weren't near any sort of record, but those 14 assists were remarkable, and the 18 total chances ditto. It's seldom a second sacknr gets a chance to field 10 balls, let alone 18.

The second game will be played Thursday night, and the third, if one is necessary, Fri day evening. Mcdco, last year's pennant winner and champion of the first two rounds of the current campaign, was never in danger from the club that defeated them twice recently to win the third-round title. Joe Peccia issued four walks in the first inning which, cou pled with an error and two fiel ders' choices, gave the winners three runs and the ball game. Medco kept hammering away and gradually built its score to 11 runs. In Trouble Once Morrie Steiner, who went the route for Mcdco, allowed only five scattered hits, two of them coming the first Inning when the Boxmen tallied their lone run on Boyle's double and D'Arcy's single. From then on Steiner held the losers at bay. Orv Hampel and Steiner, himself, led the Medco attack, with a two-bagger apiece, while Boyle's double was the only extra-base blow off the Medco hurler. With Bohl hitting a homer, Cook a triple and double and R. Pitta a double. Bear Creek belted out a 10 to 1 victory over Teamsters to clinch the third round championship of the Na tional league. Friday night, Bear Creek will play the winner' of Thursday eve's Copco-Elkj clash for the National loop title. In an Inter-city clash, Medford Copco nosed out Klamath Falls Copco, 6 to S, with a run in the seventh and final inning. Bing ham and P. Sakraida homered for Medford, while Pedkey hit a round-tripper for Klamath Falls, Glennon tripled and Crapo and Crlss doubled.

(Spl.) Frank B. Wire, state game supervisor, and Dr. H. S. Davis, federal biologist, turned "thumbs down" on a countv owned fish hatcherv nrooosition here Mon - day night. Wire told a delegation of about 25 sDortsmen and mem- bers of the chamber of com merce fish and game commit tee that fish cnuld be raised more economically in a larger hatchery, such as the state owned Butte Falls hatchery, than in a small one, such as sportsmen here proposed. He added that he didn't think there was sufficient water on the Ap plegate to operate even a small hatchery. Inasmuch as the state had not obtained a clear title to the Butte Falls hatchery property, no Improvements and enlarge ments have been made, but this matter is being taken care of and the state expects to en large the hatchery's capacity, and thereby raise more fish for southern Oregon streams and lakes. Wire stated. He said he felt this would more than make up for a small hatchery on the Applcgate river.

Plc ard crawled out on a cool limb today and took a "lOO-to-one shot" at predicting who would win his crown here next month. Picard picked himself. "Why not?" the normally modest pro of the Hershey Coun try club, asked, and without waiting to hear why not, con tinued: "I'm playing well and I feel great." He knows every blade of grass on the 7,000-yard home course where the professional golfers' association championship will be decided during the week of Au gust 28. Picard won It last year, de feating Byron Nelson in the fi nals. It has happened before that a P.G.A. champ repeated. Den ny Shute did it in 1937 and 1938. But there's a hoodoo against the home professional. Fred Corcoran, tournament manager for the P.G.A., dipped into his records and found the entertaining pro never has won this tournament. Picard has to be considered one of the favorites, however. His 65, eight under par, is the best round ever shot here, and he's had several of them. BILL! CONN MAY BE NEXT FOR JOE New York. July 31. Plans were crystallizing today for a "blue-stocking" heavy weight championship battle be tween Joe Louis and Billy Conn at Pittsburgh on Sept. 25. This first heavy title tilt in I Pitsburgh history would be pro- I moted by Mike Jacobs, but backed by the swankiest, wealthiest families In the smoky city, according to details re vealed last night. These plans are dependent, of course, upon Conn The Pitts burgh pugilist defeatinc Bob Pastor in their contenders' brawl at the Polo Grounds, Aug. 13. Conn is the 9-5 favorite.
