Billy Hulen Says;
Softball Champ
From Waahington
Play Here Friday
Softball hasn't made ita final
1940 appearance in Medford
after all. There remains one
evening of the sport and it has
all the earmarks of being the
best of the entire season.
Next Friday nlRht the Ray
Oil Burners of Seattle, billed as
three-time Washington state
champions, will appear under
the lights at the high school sta
dium in a doubleheader against
Wooden Box and Medco, cham
pions and runners-up of the Med
ford city league.
The barnstormers will go
against Medco In the first game
at 8 o'clock, then take on the
powerful Boxmcn an hour later.
It will be the last home appear
ance of the season for the latter
club, which won the district
tournament at Klamath Falls
last week and will enter the state
tourney at Salem, starting Au
gust 20.
The Saatile team will come
here with a highly-publicised
pitching staff, led by Speed
Ball Mattey, a six-foot-four-Ineh
colored boy whose record
in the past two years of com.
petition is said to be 41 games
won and none lost. King Kong
Cowan, called the fourth best
flingar in the nation, pitched
two no-hit, no-run games In
the Chicago tournament last
year, according to adrance
publicity from tho Seattleiies.
Comes another all-star Oregon
State league baseball team this
time from the brain of Don Mc
Fadden, who managed the Eu
gene Athletics during most of
the past season before being
transferred to Medford by his
company, Consolidated Freight
ways, Inc.
At our invitation Don kindly
got out his pencil and paper over
long, cool one and went about
naming his own all-star club in
this fashion:
First base Ken Manning of
the Silverton Red Sox. "Head
and shoulders above any of the
others."
Second base Rlney Cook of
the Medford Craters. "I pick
Cook in there because I believe
he'll outhit Albany'! Billy Moye
and Eugene s Monroe Dean, and
he'll field almost as well."
Shortstop Riley Richards of
the Albany Alco-Oaks. "Don
Klrsch of Silverton and Wally
Graser of Bend get honorable
mention."
Third base Johnny Dunn of
the Eugene Athletics. "1 may be
prejudiced here, but I think
Dunn was the best of the bunch."
(So do we. Don.)
Left field Bill Carney of the
Eugene Athletics. "Carney, In
my opinion, was even better
than Dick Whitman."
Center field Dick Whitman
of the Silverton Red Sox. "You
can't keep Whitman out of any
all-star lineup."
Right field Alan Wray of the
Medford Craters. "A power hit
ter from way back and a fine
fly-chaser."
Catcher Joe Leptleh of the
Albany Alco-Onks. "What a hit
ter, and pretty fair receiver,
too."
Pitchers Glenn Elliott, Al
bany; Boh Wiltshire. Eugene and
Jimmy Rreo, Medford. "With
that mound staff a club would
be a cinch for the pennant."
Thanks, Don.
A baseball game attendee,
whose name we didn't bother
to learn, and a player who has
received columns of favorable
publicity this season, took is
sue with the writer Sunday
for the story we wrote on the
Eaturday night farce. It seems
that we shouldn't have put in
plain Enqlish thai the contest
was called off in the seventh
Inning to save the visitors fur
ther punishment, that we
shouldn't have mentioned the
fact that a couple of Craters
stole bases backwards, and
that. Instead, we should have
smoothed over the sorry de
tails and made excuses for the
Klamathitei so that fans would
have flocked to the park Sun
day under the misapprehen
sion they would see a good
ball game.
We would like to point out
that the Mail Tribune has bent
over backwards this year to pub
licize, ami (.ft -Drably, the Craters
and ail their doings. Ball games
played ut the fairgrounds park
have received many inches of
space, both before and after the
tilts. As a cold matter of fact,
this paper has supported the Cra
ters and their games as much if
not more, than any other news
paper has ballyhnoetl its own
team in any other city in the
state.
But here is the point. We re
fuse to be a propaganda agent
for the Craters or any other
team. If n hall game Is slow and
unintcicMiv; we roerve the
right to say so in print, the

amateur luminary does the same
thing to the Weed Italian that
he accomplished with Dangerous
Danny McShane on last week's
card.
It will be remembered that
Piluso whacked Jitterbug Dan

Monday night. He sonnenberg

goes about trimming Belcastro
just so he does It. They would
like, of course, to witness Ernie
come through with two straight
tumbles In about 30 seconds,
but if this can't be done, any
old way will be OK. The main
thing is that Piluso wins.
Belcastro may prove a slight
ly tougher opponent for Ernie
than was McShane. The Weed
horror Is rougher than McShane,
bigger and more of an out-and-out

snipe had been extended to 80

Announcing the annual regu

the extension was made possible
by an increase in the population
of these birds.
The regulations also length
ened the hunting day. Shooting

Shorter seasons were provid
ed, however, for woodcocks, and
the bag limit for geese was re
duced from 4 to 3 a day.
Shooting season on ducks,
geese, coots and jacksnipe are:
Northern zone from October 1
to November 19; the intermedi
ate zone, October 16 to Decem
ber 14; the southern zone from
November 2 to December 31.
The intermediate zone in
cludes California, Oregon and
Washington, as in , previous
years, the number of waterfowl
that may be possessed at any
time is limited to two days' bag
but a new rule makes it possible
to possess the legal limit for 20

any one of these species.

MARUYAMA BEATS;
Yoshia Maruynma, the little
Japanese racqueteer with the
court ability of a giant, enjoyed
a large diy on the junior high
school cement Sunday.
First, he took a sizzling duel
from Nevin Cope, 6-3, 7-5, 8-0.
in the finals of the Jackson
county tennis tournament.
Then, he paired with his sin
gles opponent to win the dou
bles title from Otto Kreuger
and Dick Porterfield in a hard
fought four-set struggle, 8-1.
6-8. 7-5, 8-2.
The Linfield college star's
singles match with Cope was
fought from the baseline, with
both relying on deep drives and
power rather than finesse ai.d
placements. Maruyama was a
little steadier and hit just a lit
tie harder in the driving duel,
which was torrid the first two
sets but slacked off in the third
heat as the winner's shots be
gan to take their toll in Cope's
errors.
In the doubles final. Maru-
yama and Cope showed too
much punch for Krueger and
Porterfield. After winning the
first set rather easily, Maruyama
and Cope dropped the next as
their opponents rallied, but the
former pair came back to grab
the crucial third set and run
out the match in the next.
Following the final matches
of the week-long tournament.
Maruyama was presented with
the George Hunt trophy sym
blomatic of the singles crown,
and Cope was awarded the
Larry Schade medal for the
runner-up honor. Their names
were engraved on th- prizes.
Prizes of clothing were given
to Maruyama and Cope for
their doubles viclorv. while
Porterfield and Kieuger receiv
ed three tennis balls each.
Other prizes, 12 in all. do
nated by local merchants, were
awarded to Mrs. Nellie Laing,
winner of the women's singles
title; Pauline Weiland, runner
up; Mrs. Laing and Mrs. Wilsie
Pruitt, winners of the doubles
championship, and runners-up
Mrs. Roy Browning and Con
stance Degman.

Ask Don McNeill, the national

the courts for the eastern grass

For Don was the gallery Idol,
the man who was to deliver
tennis from a champion who
hasn't exactly been overwhelm
ed with popularity. But Don
was victimized by "Ruby Rob
