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.

last year Texas Christian, de
spite a poor club, drew more

of the Trojans . . . Henry Pic
ard has challenged Lawson Lit
tle to a 72-hole, winner-take-all
grudge golf match ... we un
derstand that Little is "little"

There should be no doubt
bow concerning the brand of
baseball played in .he Oregon
State league. In comparison
with other of the state's loops
. . . up to last night Just three
clubs were still In the run
ning In the state tournament,
and all three of them Al
bany. Jack It Jill Tavern and
SUverion are State league
outfits ... so. It's a cinch
that the tourney champion
will be a State circuit team.
The Yanks have seemingly re
gained their hitting power, a
shown by their average of seven
runs per gnme In the last nine
games, but the pitchers aren't
holding up , , , over those nine
games. Manager McCarthy wns
forced to use 20 limners, and

ing record In the history of
Negro baseball, the six-foot
three and a half Inch Paige Is
expected to go to the mound
for the Monarchs In an attempt
to turn back his tram's most
dangeroua national rival.
Certain to Pilch.
Paige may hurl three Innings,
or he may labor the entire con
test, but regardless of how many
frames ha flings it is certain
he will be seen in action, ac
cording to word received, from
the Monarchs. Last time he
went the distance he defeated the
Davids, 1 to 0, with 14 whiffs
and four hits, at Portland be
fore 5,000 clients.
The great Negro pitcher, who
received his nickname "Satchel"
because of his gigantic feet, will
be supported by a brilliant ar
ray of colored talent. Slow
Robinson will catch, Socks Gil
yard will be on first, Bonnie
Sorrell on second, Mex Johnson
on shirt, Mance Smith on third,
Ted Young In left, Emmlt Wil
son In center and OUla Waldon
in right.
One of five pitchers will be
on the rubber for the House of
Davids, long considered Amer
ica's top traveling baseball at
traction, J. L. (Doc) Tally, who
won 21 and lost 8 In 1930, Is
In his 27th season with the
Davids, and may fling. Others
are Clifford (Count) Day, Rich
ard Wykoff, formerly with Co
lumbus In the American asso
ciation; Gene Hansen, former
Western International ace who
won 18 and lost 10 with the
Davids last season: and South
paw Mike Schroeder, ex-Western
league and East Texas loop
star.
Davids Have Vets.
The Davids will line up with
D. E. "Beans" Miller catching,
John R. Tucker, manager, on
first; Clarence "Fats" Hetherly
on second, George Anderson on
third, Chet Smith on short. Lee
Gardner in left, Arnie Velcheck
in center and Cecil Campbell In

One of the most sensational
features of the clash will be
the "pepper game" singed by
Tally, Anderson and Tucker of
the Davids, during the fifth In
ning. Fights Last Night

No Games Tonight
With the chips down, Medford
Corporation's softball crew turn
ed savagely on Wooden Box last
night to club 10 hits off Peccia
and Peterson and hangup a 11 to
1 victory in the first game of a
three-tilt series for the 1940
Medford championship.
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.

nSH HATCHERY PLAN
ON APPLEGATE RIVER
IS VETOED Bf
Grants Pass. July 31. (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.
Wire and Dr. Davis recom
mended that the Grants Pass

PICARD PREDICTS
HIMSELF AS NEXT
PGA GOLF CHIP
Hershey, Pa., July 31. VPi
P.G.A. Champion Henry G. 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.
