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.
