Billy Hulen Says;
Baseball Season
Should Continue
For Fire Weeki
Boxmen Tip Medco to Square Series - Title Tilt Tonight
3-2
Although the State league's
regular schedule li completed
and the semi-pro tourney has
' run its course, with Albany's
terrific Alco-Oaks copping the
latter, as expected, there should
be considerable more baseball
here this summer before King
Football assumes the sports spot
light. The Craters travel to Albany
this week-end to play those .two
postponed first-half games with
the Oaks, then return to tangle
with the Kansas City Monarchs
and Satchel Paige next Wednes
day night under the local glim
mers. Oilier series are to be ar
ranged with Grants Pass, Cres
cent City, Mt. Shasta City and
Dunsmutr, the latter two clubs
of the Northern California loop.
Tha baseball season. In fact,
should last at least fWe mors
weeks, and although there
will be no more regular -league
action the exhibition
games should prove sufficient
ly glamorous to keep Interest
at a high pitch. Many times
exhibition contests are more
thrilling than loop tilts.
For that matter, local fans
still may see the Craters battling
for the State league pennant.
The two games in Albany Sat
urday night and Sunday after
noon will determine the first
half title, and if Medford wins,
a playoff series with the second
half champs will be In order
The second-half flag, also, is yet
undecided, with Albany and
Eugene deadlocked for the
crown.
Most clients were disappoint
ed when Satchel Paige worked
only the ninth inning against
the House of Davids Wednesday
evening, but the big Negro
hurler really was 111 . . . he got
ptomaine poisoning In Tacoma
last week and was still under
the weather . . . Wednesday aft
ernoon, when the Monarchs
played Grants Pass, Paige did
not even put on his baseball
suit, and the night before in
Salem, when the Monarchs col
lided with the Davids, he hurl
ed only two innings and was
hit hard ...
Paige, as matter of fact,
didn't plan to pitch here Wed
nesday night he came to the
ball park In his street clothes
but when It was explained
to him that most of the 2,500
fans were la the stands for
the obvious reason of watch
ing him cut loose, he agreed
to lake the mound In the
ninth Inning . . . next Wed
nesday, when the Monarchs
return to play the Craters. It
Is hoped that Paige will be
feelln' fit. . . .
The Washington Redskins,
pro grldders, will train in Spo
kane this fall and travel 7.229
miles before getting back home
for the National Football league
season ...Alex McDonald.
Crater shortstop and newly
elected teacher and athletic
coach at Medford high, is at
tending summer school at Uni
versity of Oregon to complete
his studies for masters degree
. . . Alex will meet the club in
Albany tomorrow for the Al
bany series.

Peccia Fans 10
Joa Peccia of Wooden box

duel last night, with the former

while Stclner fanned none un1
gave four bases on balls. They'll
oppose each other again In the

The Boxmen i clinched the
contest in the first frame on
a pair of walks, two base hits,
an error and a fielders' choice,
good for three runs. Although
Medco threatened several times
thereafter they couldn't punch
across the tieing tally.
Hank Pacheco, Wooden Box, I
led all hitters with three singles
in four trips, while Peccia clout

RED HOT GRAPPLE CRIPPENTOHURL
Danny (Jitterbug) McShane
may make it three straight grap
ple wins in the armory Monday
night, but if he does he'll have
to hurdle his toughest foe thus
far in Ernie Piluso, the ball of
fire who has been on a short
ring vacation while getting his
Klamath Falls sandwich shop in
operation.
That's the opinion of the ma
jority of local wrestling fans,
anyway, who have watched Mc
Shane dispose of George Wagner
and Jimmy Goodrich in his last
two starts here. And, who have
witnessed - Piluso, in many
matches, literally rip up the
place as he sonnenberged op
ponents into defeat.
What Ernie can't do to grap
piers of McShane's ilk just isn't
being done, and that's why a
large number of clients are sin
cere in the belief that Danny
may find Piluso a little too tough
and capable, a little too fast
and clever.
Mike Nazarian, who roughed
Otis Clingman into defeat last
Monday, will take on George
Wagner in the middle event. He
figures to win, as Clingman and
Wagner are rated about on a
par.
Bob Cummings, the Great
Falls, Montana scientific grap
pler, returns after a long absence
to meet Clingman in the six
round opener.
Ladies night will be in effect.

Steve Crippen. with five vic
tories and no defeats, will prob
ably get the starting pitching
call-in Albany Saturday night
when the Craters and the Alco
Oaks collide in the first game
of their two-tilt series making up
postponed contests from the
first half Oregon State league
race, Manager Tommy Hawkins
said today.
Sunday afternoon either
Southpaw Jimmy Rego or Big
Bill Lanning will do the fling
ing, Hawkins stated. He added
that possibly all three hurlers
would see action.
The club will leave tomorrow
morning for Albany, and return
Sunday after the game.
Leonard Patterson will be un
able to make the trip because of
a wrenched knee he suffered
playing Softball this week. Bill
Lanning will play first base
when he isn't pitching, and when
he is on the mound Al Wray will
be brought in from right field
to hold down the initial cushion.
