PAOE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUN'E. MEDFORH. OREGON', MONDAY. AUGUST S. 1940. Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; All-Star Outfit Named On BatU of Local Action The selection of that lUte semi-pro tournament all tar team yeaterday reminded ui of a tatk wt had planned to accom plish when tha Stata league sea (on wai completed, namely; bend our brains to the picking of an All-State loop nine. A strictly unofficial all-star outfit, understand; on that merely reflects the writer's own personal opinion and one that in no way supercedes any other that may be named by anybody. And also, one that is produced only on the basis of the perfor mance of Its personnel here in Jhis town. ' Some of the players we will name might not have been such hot stuff elsewhere, and by the same token we might fail to mention pastimers who were red hot In other towns, but had off days here. In short, our private all-star team will be composed of the best players we saw in action here In Medford. Nothing else will be taken into consider ation. So here goes: First base Ken Manning, Silverien. the former Willam ette university and Western International league smoothie. Manning wasn't spectacular, by many means, but he got those throws to the bag, and at the plate was plenty dan gerous. He hit four for nine here. Honorable mention to Buster McMillan of the Port land Babes. Second base This is easy. Monroe Dean of the Eugene Athletics was far and away the best keystoner we saw this sea son. His sensational fielding aid ed Eugene in their double trim mings of the Craters, and at the plate he got four hita out of seven tries. Shortstop Who else but Al bany's Riley Richards, although Silverton's Don Kirsch and Med ford's own Alex McDonald were right In there. Richards was positively uncanny on ground balls. He shelled Crater hurlers for four hits in nine trips. Third base Eugene's Johnny Dunn was clearly the best all around hot-corner performer of the lot. Against the Craters he handled eight chances perfectly, and clubbed out two doubles, one triple and two singles in 10 trips. Left field Vic Brown of the Portland Babes is shifted from his regular center-field berth to left. Against Medford he col lected six hits In 14 attempts and played errorless ball afield. Center field Bilverten's Dick Whitman gets the call over 'Eugene's Bill Carney. Whitman was stupendous here, what with 10 great field ing plays in the two games. Right field Medford's Al Wray, despite a batting slump the past month, gets the third outfield position. He never quit hustling and was the club's lead ing power-hitter. Catchers Because of his ter rific hitting, we nominate Al bany's Joe Leptich as one re ceiver, and Medford's Tommy Hawkins as the other. Leptich, who also played In the outfield, hit five for seven against the Craters, Including . a homer. Hawkins had a deadly throwing arm, hustle and was at his best in the clutch. Pitchers Oscar (Red) Miller of Albany, Jack Richards of Eugene, Jimmy Rego of Medford and Bob Wiltshire of Eugene. Miller blanked the locals, 3 to 0 with six hits and eight whiffs; Richards copped a 11 inning, 7 to 3 win from Medford, and Wiltshire gave the Craters five blows In hurling a 4 to 2 victory. Rego turned in some excellent games and was considered one of the loop's best southpaws. We didn't name Elliott because he was touched for 11 safeties in losing a 4 to S game here. Utility It couldn't be any body else but Medford's Sieve Crippen. with hia balling av erage In the lolly ,400 s. his remarkable pitching record, and his ability to play ,ny. where at any time. So that's it, fans, and our tele phone number is 2141. Or Just address your squawk letters to the Mail Tribune. Drinking Tragedy Tacoma, Aug. 3 A') James E. Bailey, 30. of suburban Mid land, was fatally shot at the home of his best friend here yesterday following a night long "drinking bout," Under sheriff rivri KnU r. .-J - - ' . 1 - 1 urn today. A 24-year-old Tacoman, described by Knowles as Bail ey's best friend, was held In Pierce county Jail on an open charge pending investigation. Piluso Tackles Dangerous Danny ERNIE ACCORDED I GOOD CHANCE 10 WALLOPJVI'SHANE Mazarian, Wagner to Battle in Middle Bout Cum mings and Clingman Open Ernie Piluso can become the grappling man of the hour in Medford's armory tonight, and all he has to do to attain this honor is give Jitterbug Danny McShane, tha Hollywood hor ror, the whacking of his soiled career. v When Ernie climbs through the hemp this evening for his main event fracas with the erst while light-heavyweight crown wearer, not a man, nor a wo man, nor a child in the audience will wish for anything else but to witness the utter and com plete crushing of McShane. And Ernie, so say an increas ingly large number of "ex perts," may do Just that. He possesses all the ring equipment necessary to thoroughly annihil ate his crafty, cruel and con scienceless adversary. And he Is confident, definitely convinced I he can rivet McShane's quiver ing shoulders to tha rug for the ! victory. Ernie Has Sonnenberg Against Danny's devastating piledrlvers and his disregard for mat rules and regulations, Piluso will bring Into play a tremendous variety of plain and fancy scientific holds, the most effective of which is the sonnen berg. There may be better son nenbergers in the country than Piluso, but until they come along Ernie will pass as the tops In this respect. The contest is slated for an hour or until one of the partici pants gets two falls, or incapaci tates the other. McShane prob ably boasts the most dangerous payoff hold In his piledriver, which has spelled curtains for his last two opponents, but Piluso will outspeed and out think him, and possibly out fight him. It should be one of the seas on's best matches, and Promoter Mack Lillard looks for a large crowd of ladies' nlghters, per haps a capacity house, Cleanits Open A rough brawl will be seen in the center engagement when Mike Nazarian, mean Armen ian, tangles with Popular George Wagner. Nazarian is ex pected to win, though only after a torrid tussle. Opening the program, Bob Cummings of Great Falls Mont., faces Otis Clingman. the clean wrestling favorite from Amar- tllo, Texas. Cummings is also a scientific performer, and the match looks like a tossup. BY ROGUES, 9- The Medford Rogues unleash ed a 16-htt batting attack against Barr and Schemer to trounce the Roscburg Pirates. 9 to 7, in a Southern Oregon leatsvie contest at Roscburg yesterday afternoon. Joe Spencer, Harold McAbee and Ray Tungate combined toj limit the Pirates to nine hits as, the locals chalked up their sec- j ond victory of the second-half campaign.
