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

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.
