TAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MATT. TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY. AUGUST 15, 1940. ' 1 -Me$:; CECIL WHIFFS 13 First Partners, Then Foes TO STOP CRATERS IN 3-1 EXHIBIT Mt. Shasta City, the Northern California league leaden and one of ths classiest clubs to show here this season, toppled the Craters in a sparkling 3 to 1 contest at the fairgrounds park last niht as the Brothers Cecil, Rex and till, celebrated some thing; or other, by accounting for. the victory almost double- handed. Rex, a long, lanky fireballcr who threw aspirin tablets In the clutch, struck out 13 Craters and allowed but six scattered blows. In addition, he collected three of the five hits his team mates rapped off Sieve Crippen, " and batted in one run. Bill, ust as elongated, pound ed in the two other Mt. Shasta tallies. So, the score might read: Cecil brother 3, Mcdford 1. It was a spectacular flinging duel between Cecil, who show ed the locals the quickest hard one they have seen all season, and Crippen, whose jug-handle was effective as always. In fact, Crippen allowed one le&s safety than did Cecil, and fan ned nine to boot. However, Crip's wiklness in the first three innings and a couple of costly errors by Bill Lannlng, playing first base, decided the issue ir favor of the visitors and gave the local hurlcr his first setback of the year. All the scoring was done in the first three frames, wiln Mt Shasta tallying once in each of those innings. In the first Crpl led off with a walk and went to third on Bennett's double to left, from where 'he scored as Bill Cecil grounded out. In tlia second Barney singled to left, stole second, went to third as Lannlng threw wild to second bare jn the steal, and scored on Rex Cecil's triple to right. The visitors got their final tally In the third when Griffith and Bennett walked, and the former scored on Bill Cecil s flyout to left. Griffith had reached third on a passed bail. The Craters, handcuffed In eight of the nine innings by Cecil's blazing fast hall and a curve that exploded like a nazi bomb, bunched two blows in the third for tBcir lone run. With two gone, Calvert singled into right and AI Wray blasted . a triple down the right field line, driving Calvert across. From the fourth inning on neither club could manufacture enough punch to score again. Crippen, in the last six frames, gave up only two hits, while Cecil over the same distance was touched for three. The Craters simply couldn't touch the big boy when he rear ed back and pulled the pin. A sample of Cecil's pinch-pitching was in the seventh, when Pach eco led eff with a single, stole second and reached third on an error. W ith nobody out, Cecil cut loose and fanned Hawkins Crippen and Cook In succession The fielding gem of the clash was a running, one-handed catch by Mettford'i Tomniv Hawkins of a foul fly near the grand stand. It was no less than sen sational. Umpire-in-Chief Fred Lennard ti m 1 -mi ilk it Pi IV, J ---..
