PAfiE PTT MEDFORD MATT. TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY. AUGUST 1. 1940. Sport Graphs Billy Hulcn Says; Tiger Gridderi Still Undecided On School Choice The gridiron season isn't far off about a month and a half and as yet the three Medford high lads considered the most promising - collegiate material haven't made up their minds which institution of higher learning they will head for . . . or if they have, it is still a dark secret ... John Saulsberry, fullback: Al Barrow, giant tackle, and Bob Newland, triple-threat left-halfback, all of last season's Black Tornado, are the boys drawing most of the looks from college representatives (only "looks," Mr. Athcrton, only "looks") . . . although something may turn up between now and the start of school, it is almost certain that Oregon and Oregon State will get the trio, though who will go where is not known . . . So far as Saulsberry and Bar row are concerned, there is no doubt but that they'll play foot ball in college, but such is not the case with Newland . . . the latter weighs only about 170 at his heaviest, and he plans to confine his collegiate athletic activities to basketball, base ball and track ... And speaking of star prep pars and their ultimate choice of collages, we understand that Willamette university nd the Univorsity of Oregon are both in the running for Charley DeAulremont, a real ly great grid and basketball player from Eugene's Univer sity high school . . . Jim Fcrrier, the big Austra lian, Is being tabbed the best foreign bet to cop the U. S. amateur tourney since Sandy Somerville took the title back to Canada in 1032 ... a minor boom In boxing is taking place in, of all places, London, Eng land . . . the Dodgers, Giants nd Yankees of the metropoli tan area are drawing better this year than they did last, and none of them are red-hot pen nant contenders . . . A dozen Pacific coast football players will be members of the all-star collegiate squad which meets the Green Bay Packers, pro champs. In the big charity game at Chicago, August 29 . . . they are: Fisk, Smith, 6chindler, Landsdell, Winslow and Hoff man of U.S.C., Stubler, Schiechl and Anahu of Santa Clara, Ken Washington of U.C.L.A., Artoe of California and Frankle Em mons of the University of Ore gon . . . The finals of the American Junior baseball tournament will be played in the Hills boro ball park, which has been worked on to provide sealing capacity for 1.000 . . . with a fine lighting system here, we would like to see the Legion Junior finals brought to Medford In 1941 or 1942 . . . Jack and Jill's amazing ad vance to the finals of the state aeml-pro baseball tournament proves you never can tell what'll happen in this national pastime of ours . . . the Jillers finished sixth in the second half State lrasue race, were de feated four times during the season by the local Craters, yet turned around and bumped the Medfords right out of the tour namcnt . . . they arc all kids, but when they get hot they smoke, and they've born tor rid in the tournrv. . , .

FRUIT HAULING Fast Service Larqe Trucks Experienced Men Careful Handling Phone 315 EADS TRANSFER fc STORAGE Wrtvn Me.tt. np. h inn min i;pi E NNING AS MATES TIP DAVIDS. 7-4 The greatest crowd to attend a baseball game in Medford in 10 years 2,300 citizens over flowed the fairgrounds park stands last night to see the Kansas City Monarchs, with Satchel Paige, hang a 7 to 4 defeat on the brushy chins of the Israelite House of Davids. Paige, famous pitcher for the colored club, worked only one inning the ninth. The lanky fireballer was just recovering from the effects of food-poisoning he contracted in Tacoma. Wash., late last week, according to Business Manager Wilkinson of the Monarchs, and was still too weak to do much flinging. Paige faced four men in the ninth. He didn't whiff any of them, and only twice did he cut loose with the hard one that has made him famous. Wykoff. batting for Tucker grounded out on a curve; Clay popped to the third baseman, McGraw reached first on the third baseman's error, and Gardner lined out to left field. Satchel fired a fast ball at Clay, who popped it up, and McGraw looked at one of the slzzlers. ii,ide for a ball. Paiges other pitches were either curves or medium fast ones. The Monarchs. never behind, clinched the game in the fifth inning with a five-run burst that drove young Jimmy Stelle, the Davids' starting pitcher, to the showers. M. Smith's single, O. Smith's triple to right, Doug las' triple and a walk to Wilson signified the end for Stelle, with two runs in. With two men on, Cliff Clay relieved Stelle and was greeted by a mighty home run over the right centerfield fence by Babe Young, the Monarch's right fielder. Prior to this explosion the Monarchs tallied once in the third on an error and a double by Douglas, and got their final tally in the seventh on Douglas' single to center, an error and an outfield fly. Oren Smith, who hurled eight innings for the Monarchs, had only one bad frame, the sixth, when the Davids bunched three hits for as many runs. Doubles by Anderson and Miner, Reich elt's triple and an infield out account for the runs. A walk and singles by Miner and Reich elt drove the final Davids run across in the eighth. The game was featured by the long-distance clouting and spec tacular fielding of both Uams. There were four doubles, three triples and one homer socked, and the outfields of both clubs came through with circus catches galore. The Davids' "pepper game" in the fifth inning drew a nice hand from the crowd. Because they played a twilight game at Grants Pass, the Monarchs were a few minutes late in arriving for the local contest. Box score: ADD .. SPT...
