PAOE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRTBUNT. MEPFORD OREGON, TUESDAY. AUGUST 6, 1940. :T h Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; ' Paige May Pitch More Than Single Inning Wednesday Satchel Paige and his colored Kansas City Monarchs play a re turn engagement here Wednes day night this time against the Medford Craters Instead of the House of Davids and It is hoped by one and all that Mr. Paige. whose press clippings, if laid end to end, would reach from here to at least Birmingham, Ala., is able to unravel that her aided right arm of his for more than one inning. Satchel, last Wednesday eve against the whiskered gents, wasn't feeling so good. He ate something up north that didn't agree with him, and as a result the sum total of his rubber labor was a single Inning, during which he tossed to but four bat ters. To the 2,500 clients who jammed the fairgrounds grand stand, this exhibition wasn't ex actly what they had paid their money for. They expected the giant colored boy to fling at least three heats. Now, whether Paige will pilch more than one inning against the Craters won t be known until he shuffles right out to the mound. As a matter of fact, It is possible he won't even hurl one frame. He might still be suffering from stomach pains, although by now he should be out of his misery. A House of David player, ' prior io the game last week, told us that nobody ever knew how much Paige would pitch until the time came for him to actually take the hill. As the Davids player explained It. the big Negro worked one inning at times, three at others, four or five at others. ' and sometimes, when he le)l Just right, the entire nine stansas. While we are making no pre dictions, we have a hunch that Satchel will give local fans a nice, long look at his elbowing ability against the Craters. Satchel knows that many cus tomers were disappointed here last week, and we have an idea he will try to make them forget his previous hasty appearance by flinging a goodly number of innings. Medford's first season In the powerful Oregon State league has been completed, and by every reckoning the Craters made their debut in success ful fashion. No pennant wiH flutter from the local flagpole, as many over-optimistic per sons looked for, but the Cra ters did earn lhe runner-up spot a highly commendable position for a first-year team. Medford finished the first-half race in second place, with 11 wins and three defeats, and tied with Bend for second spot in the second-half chase, with eiulit victories and six setbacks. The Craters' aggregate won and lost record, for both halves, was 19 wins and nine losses for a per centage of .679, which would be good enough to cop pennants in most circuits. Albany, first half champs and still tied with Eu gene for the second half flag.i was the only club to show a ' higher aggregate percentage ov-j er the full season, lhe Oaks won ' 23 and lost four for a mark of .832. Eugene's agKregale was 17 won and 10 lost for .630; Silver- ton's was 17 won and 11 lost 1 lor .0U7. The other clubs trailed! far behind The Craters went Into a tail- spin in the latter stages of the1 second half batlle. when lhev I hen they were trying to do two thiiigsl i once win tne ninie loop h........

M. double setback at Albany'! hands last week-end In makeup games from the first half. Rumors that bitter deten tion wrecked the club in the closing weeks simply aren't true. It is fact there were, and still are, several rather dissatisfied players on the rot ter, but no wild-eyed beefs oc curred and the situation was, and is, no worse than you will find on any semi-pro ball club. Always there is a player or two, a "club house lawyer." who stirs up a certain amount of trouble. But in the Craters' case it wasn't serious enough to shatter team morale to the extent of losing the pennant for them. Other factors were much more responsible for the stretch slump Alex McDonald leaving to attend summer school. Riney Cook's American Legion Junior coaching which took him out of action, a finger injury to Big Bill Lannlng, and so on. All this forced changes In the regular infield, in the outfield, and in the regular working order of the pitchers.- The resulting dis organization was Just too great a handicap to overcome. i, 8-7, NINTH FRAME RALLY Portland. Aug. . P) A two-run rally in the ninth in ning gavi the Salem Senators of the Western International league an 8 to 7 win over the Portland Beavers in a give-and-take exhibition baseball game last night. Portland, undisputed cellar occupants of the Pacific Coast league, sent its three top pitch ers to the mound, but the Sen ators, several of them former Beavers, hit freely, cracking out a total of 14 blows. Manager Bunny Griffiths emerged the hero of the ninth inning splurge, with nearly 5.000 persons, including a large delegation from Salem, looking on, ine oniem manager con nected for a single, scoring Llghtner with the winning run. Llghtner's triple previously had sent Barker home with the tying score. Bud Brewer, cast off by the Beavers last year, got credit for the win. He relieved Roy Helser In the fifth Inning. Joe Orrell was the losing pitcher. Summary: R. H. E. Salem ..... 8 14 2 Portland 7 10 1 Helser, Brewer and Barker. Williams; Harrell, Llska, Orrell and Reiber, Annunzio.

IKUUI DANNY IN TORRID ARMORY GRAPPLE Ernie Piluso abruptly halt ed the two-match winning streak of Dangerous Danny McShane in the armory last night, grab bing a two-out-of-three-fall ver dict in a main event that sent a large crowd of ladies' night ers home talking to themselves. In a wild climax that saw both wrestlers and Referee Earl Yoakley take turns sailing through the ropes, Piluso was awarded the third and deciding fall when the Hollywood Jitter bug lost control of his emo tions and heaved the arbiter into the ringside seats. That was going too far, so far as Yoakley was concerned, and when he staggered back through the ropes he hoisted Piluso's hand In token of victory. McShane, dirty as usual, gain ed the initial tumble in eight minutes with a leg strangle, but Piluso came raging back to sonnenberg and body-press the villain into submission one minute later. For the next few minutes the action was hysterical, as Mc Shane roughed and slugged Ernie and the latter went wild and mauled everybody within hailing distance. McShane slam med Piluso out of the ring, and Piluso leveled Danny with a slingshot back through the ropes. Finally, at the nine minute mark, McShane picked Yoakley up and threw him into the customers, and the referee wasted little time in coming back to award the match to Piluso. Mike Nazarlan, mean Ar menian, ran true to form In the middle event. He was un couth and ungentlemanly, and as expected he defeated popu lar George Wagner In a tough battle. Wagner employed a series of body slams and a press to win a fall In the second round hut I that was his last bid for vic tory. In the fourth heat Na- zarlan forced George to give iid as he clamped on a painful arm twist, and the match ended , in the next round when Na-1 zarian slapped on the same noia and poured on the sure. pres- Youn.

Aug. 6. (JP) With the gorgeous figure of Madcap Maxie Baer apparently painted out of the title picture. "Ertist" Mike Jacobs is getting ready to sketch the winner of next week's Bob Pastor-Billy Conn tussle in against Joe Louis in September, wherever there s the best demand for such art. Into his Broadway studio, committees are coming almost daily to see what they can do about landing this fall spectacle. He's already entertained propo sitions from Detroit, Chicago. Pittsburgh and Washington. Madcap Maxie was supposed to get the title shot, as a result of his recent win over Tony the Globular Galento. But Madcap Maxie has the idea that if he risks life and limb against Louis again, anywhere, it should be worth a guarantee of $30,000 And, ever since Mike had to dig "way down into the sock1 to pay off the costly collection of ivory for his "carnival of champions" some four years ago he s guaranteeing "nuthin to nobody." A week ago, Mike announced that Conn, if he passed Pastor next Tuesday in the Polo Grounds, would get Louis ai a "reward." Today he expanded that to include, Pastor, and added that Detroit, Chicago and Washington have approached him on a third set-to between tne Domoer and Bobby, pro vided Bob takes care of Conn in the approved manner. As Jot a Conn-Louis get-together if Pretty Boy Billy does that thing to Pastor it's be tween Pittsburgh and New York. But Jacobs said this much to day: "If Conn wins next week, and by a kayo or by a lop-sided edge, I'll have to put him in with Louis right here in New York." HOW THEs? STAND National League W.
