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.

contested In the tourney's long
niMory, wiin no less man iu
players having chances to

CRATER VICTORY
In an error-Jammed slugfest
that saw both clubs make life
miserable for the umpires, the
State league Medford Craters
torpedoed the Southern Oregon
league Grants Pass Merchants
by a 14 to 8 count at the fair
grounds park last night and
grabbed a two to one lead in
their series for the champion
ship of this section of Oregon.
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

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.

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.

ALL-STARS
By Tom Siler
Chicago, 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. .

Lead Tourney Qualifiers
to a record of three victories in
three games over the Seattle Rai

league baseball.
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.

Senators so far luckless drive to
displace San Diego for a crack

Fritzie Zivic, lithe Pittsburgh
slugger who outpointed Sammy
Angott last night to earn a wel

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."
