Lucian Clement MEDFORD PLAYER FIRES BEST GOLF OF SHORT CAREER Marshfield's Dick Hanen Qualifies With 71 Best Field in History of Event Defending Champion Eddie Simmons blistered the Rogue Valley court with (9. on under par, this afternoon oer 100 golfers from far and wid shot 18-bol qualifying rounda in in annual South ern Oregon Northern Cali fornia tournament. Simmona' 69 equaled that of Lucian Clement'!, carded yesterday. In caie they tie for medaliii honori, they will ihoot an 18 hole playoff. Leland Clark of Medford qualified with 74 and Bob Hammond carded a 77. Paul Walgren of Corrallii thot an 80. Elmer Johnton of Corvallii an 66 and C. F. Brady of San Francisco 90. At the end of 12 holes early thia afternoon. Sid Milligan of Eugene was two under par. Lait-minute entriei were T. J. Denton. E. R. Lemley and William Zlmmerly. all of Cottage Grove, and William Caldwell and Thomas Orde min, both of Corrallii. While the most brilliant field in the tournament's history trudged around the Rogue Val ley golf course today In 18 hole qualifying rounds, an elght handirap local player sat back and pinched himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming the in credible score he turned In yes terday to take an early, and probably permanent, lead in the battle for medalist honors In the annual Southern Oregon Northern California t o u r n a ment. The player was Lucian Cle ment, employe of the California Oregon Power company, and never in his life had he broken 73 before yesterday. He was a high 70 clubber, a laudable abil ity for a man who has been playing steadily only about two years. But when he went out there to shoot his qualifying round ha was better than a perfect golfer. Eighteen holes later he walked into the club house and turned in a card of 69, one un der par, and immediately be came a distinct dark-horse to lift the crown now worn by Medford's Eddie Simmons. It was the second time in the tourney's history a qualifycr had broken 70, Leland Clark's 68 of several years ago still standing as the all-time low. Clement was one over par on the first, second and 12th holes, but he birdied the third, fourth, sixth, ninth and 16th. On the other greens he was down in regulation figures. His first-nine tally was 33, his back-nine 34. 100 Entered With most of the field of some 100 golfers doing their qualifying this afternoon, Cle ment's closest rival at mid-day was Marshfield's Dick Hanen, who carded a 71. Hanen was being tabbed a heavy favorite. Ivan Harrington of Medford shot a 74 to assure himself a berth In the championship flight, which was expected to be composed of all golfers qual ifying with scores of 82 or under. Other qualifyers yesterday were George Roberts, B8; Ralph Norris, 88, of San Francisco; Max Pcirce, 89. Bud Provost of Ashland, 91; Hance Clclnnd, 92; Don Hagley, 92; George Ras- mussen, 94; Dnm Provost, Jr., of Ashland, 98; Jack Bicrma 103 and Edmund Dews of Ash land, 114, and Dick Milestone, Jr.. 93. Among last minute en- j t r a n t s in the tournament this morning were Sid Milligan of Eugene, former Pa- cific coast intercollegiate cham- pion; Don Leal and Ken Omlirt ! or r.ugenc: ueorge ntanicy oi Seattle, Taul Walgren, Ray Bnbb. Elmer and Tart Johnson. all of Corvallis; Jack Cooper of Portland, and the fnllowina local golfers: A. E. Lalng, Almus Prultt, Wilsie Pruitt and Roy Pruitt. They were expected to qualify this afternoon. Battle Expected Close observers were of the opinion that this year's title battle would be the most hotly contested In the tourney's long niMory, wiin no less man iu players having chances to emerge with the big prize.

Grants Pass came up with eight fielding mishaps, Joe Gray taking high honors with three and Woods and Carrillho com mitting two apiece. Medford booted five, with Hank Pacheco hobbling three times and White and Wray once each. Manager Tommy Hawkins of the Craters had hardly donned hit mask and protector before he was ousted from the game by Ump-In-Chief Fred Lennard. In the Merchants' half of the first inning Billy Calvert of the locals raised Cain over a strike called on him. Hawkins took up the battle, and after he and Lennard pushed each other in the chest the Crater skipper was chased from the contest. Although Hawkins was the only player to lose his playing status, members of both clubs beefed and howled over decis ions the entire game, which lasted almost three hours. Bill Lanning went the dis tance for the Craters, giving up dozen bingles, though whif fing a baker's dozen. Lloyd Farthing, Grants Pass' prize young righthander, lasted only three frames, during which he was belted for seven blows and five tallies. Nig DiSordi finish ed for the losers and yielded six hits and nine runs as his teammates kicked the ball round behind him. It was an extra-base hit cir cus, with Medford collecting four doubles and two triples, and Grants Pass socking a homer, a double and two triples. The outfield was rough as a hermit's face and practically any ground ball into the outer reaches went for extra sacks. Joe Peceia hit two doubles and a single, Pacheco socked a triple and two singles, Calvert hit a triple and single, and Mc Lean doubled and singled for the Craters. Howerton of Grants Pass hit an inside-the-park homer with nobody on in the ninth. Woods tripled and dou bled and Gray tripled and sing led. All in all the boys had on their hittin' clothes. After the Merchants got a couple of unearned runs in the first on errors by Pacheco and White and Gray's sinRle, the Mcdfords came back with three in the second to take a lead they never relinquished. In that inning McLean doubled and Peccia nnni.AA .. -i 1 The locals added two In the third, one in the fourth, two in the fifth, one in the sixth and five in the seventh, the latter outburst arising from three errors, two fielders' choices, a double by Peccia and Pacheco's single. Grants Pass got three in the fifth and one each in the sev enth, eighth and ninth. Box score: Oranta Pass AB R.

The running deer shoot, so well received by the hunters of the valley last year, will again be put on by the Medford rifle club the first three Sundays in September at the club's small bore range on the S. M. Tuttle ranch near Upper Table Rock. Paper targets will be available without charge for those who desire to sight in their favorite hunting rifle. The same pro cedure will be followed as last year, with the range open for sighting-in practice until 10 in the morning, after which the galloping stag will test the skill and speed of the local deer slayers. Club officers have decided to conclude the outdoor season of both pistol and rifle firing, and' to begin again the first of No vember on the indoor targets. Records of the club show that during the current s ison 933 scores were fired by riflemen, and 418 by the pistol shooters. The pistol and revolver di vision of the club was inaugu rated this year and in order to stimulate such shooting a trophy was presented the club by Lam port's Sporting Goods store to be awarded monthly to the mem ber firing the highest score. As a result Pete Pomeroy will retain possession of the trophy until next year by virtue of hav ing won it the most times and by having turned in the highest score during the past year, 282x 300. John Day and Bob Tuttle were runners up and promise stiffer competition next year. SALEM MISS PITCHES NO HIT SOFTBALL GO Albany, Aug. 30.

(P) Now the college boys know only too well why the Green Bay Pack ers and their unexcelled end. fleet Don Hutson, are the scourge of the National football league. The All-Stars, 69 players sea soned by four years of college football, moved into Soldier Field last night, forewarned and presumably forearmed for the prowess of the mighty Packers' dazzling overhead attack. But their advance information wat useless. The Packers put on one of the most sparkling exhi bitions of passing in the history of football, pro or amateur, whipping the All-Stars, 45 to 28, in the seventh game of this series. The victory gave the pros a three to two edge, two games being tics. The 84.567 spectators, a rec ord-breaking crowd, were shock ed in the first minutes to see the amateurs drive to a touch down in the wild-scoring fray. Amby Schindler of Southern California set up the tally with an intercepted pass, and then scored on a six-yard dash inside right tackle. Nile Kinnick, Iowa's sensational star of 1939. dropkicked the point. The record crowd paid $175. 427 to see the game. The sum, less expenses, will be donated to three Chicago charities by the Chicago Tribune, originator and sponsor of the game. . , 5 TO 1 By the Associated Press The irreverent Padres of San Diw pridefully pointed today III I al I 111 .

Pounding the coast's best pitchers on successive evenings, the navy-town squad last night shelled Aldon Wilkie from the mound in two innings to win, 9 to 1. It was an unkind aloha for Wilkie, whose sale to the Pitts - burgh Pirates had Just been an- nounced. He had won 12 and lost 3 until Manager Cedric Durst's balloon prickers got out the needles. Seattle's nearest contender, Los Angeles, lost a shutout to third place Oakland, 4 to 0. San Francisco nearly scuttled Hollywood s hopes of a first-di- tiiainii tiA4lt tier !. i iet Stars, 3 to 2. although outhit. 10 to 6. Sacramento made It two out of three from the lowly Portland Beavers by a 9 to 1 score.

ZJVIC CONFIDENT HE TF Pittsburgh, Aug. 30. OP) Fritzie Zivic, lithe Pittsburgh slugger who outpointed Sammy Angott last night to earn a wel terweight title bout with Henry Armstrong, predicted today that he would "bust up" the Negro champion when they meet here late next month. The sleek-looking Armstrong, after watching Zivic bang out a 10-round non-title decision over Angott, NBA lightweight king, said quietly: "I don't generally make predictions,-but I think I can take him."
