BOB FOX SLATED
Southpaw Swetman To Op
poseCraters Draw Bye
In State League Play.
Delayed by an automobile
accident near La Center, Wash.,
in which no players were hurt
but which prevented the team
from arriving here in time for
last night's game, the Kelso,
Wash., baseball club will be in
town today to clash with Med
ford's State league Craters in

tion fracas at the fairgrounds
park. The contest will start at

Manager Eddie Foss of the
Kelso nine, in a telephone con
versation with local officials,
explained that his automobile,
carrying several ball players,
was involved in an accident
about 30 miles from Kelso late
Friday night and that the mis
bap had postponed part of the
dub's departure for Medford
until Saturday afternoon, mak
ing it impossible for them to
arrive here in time for tne
Saturday night tilt. Foss as
aured E. E. McKlnney, Medford
Athletic association secretary,
that nona of the Kelso players
ware hurt in the wreck and
that the team would be at full
strength for today's game.
The locals, informed of events
Saturday morning, immediately
contacted Redding of the North
ern California league to fill last
night's date, but this game was
then called off because a late
afternoon shower left the field
too muddy. It was expected to
be OK for today, however.
: Manager Foss of Kelso, in his
telephone talk with Medford,
said that Glen Swetman, former
hurler for Lewlston, Idaho, of
the Pioneer league, would pitch
today's game. Swetman, a south
paw, relies on slow curves, con
trol and savvy.
Manager Lou Sauer of the
Craters said that Bob Fox, right
bander who has beaten Yreka
and who gave the Bend Elks
only six blows last Sunday,
.would be on the firing line for
the locals. The remainder of the
Crater lineup will see Slater
catching, Al Fleishman on first.
Sauer on second, Del Schroer
oa short. Alex McDonald on
third. Al (Wray) Lightner In

third, Tip Pietella in left, Lee

Wall, freckle-faced, amiable
Menominee, Mich., miss, dole
fully watched a 12-Inch effort
roll by the 35th hole of River
Oaks, where the greens laugh
at the players. That left her
one down.
A bold brassie shot put her
on the 36th green in 2. Mrs.
Mann was to the right of the

and calmly rapped in a 15-foot
putt for a half and the match:
That s what I ve been working
for all these years and at last
I've done it."

HESS PAL, JAILED
New York, May 31. (IP)
The arrest of Major-General
Haushofer, the Munich profes
sor who has been a close ad
viser of Adolf Hitler in the war,
has been confirmed in reports
reaching London, the British
radio said.
In a broadcast heard here by
CBS, the BBC said Haushofer's
scheduled lecture May 24 at
Strasbourg had been cancelled
and that in recent editions of a
magazine he edited "he made
veiled references to the dangers
which are threatening Germany
in the east.
"General Haushofer. the ra
dio said, "who was introduced
to Hitler in 1922 by Rudolf
Hess, has been until very recent
ly the closest adviser of the
fuehrer In questions of geo
policy. Rudolf Hess, who Is now
prisoner of war in Great Brit
ain, had shared Haushofer's
fears for the future of Ger
many."
record tying time in the 440
yard dash to claim individual
honors today In the Pacific
Coast conference track and field
championships that saw South
ern California run off with the
team title for the sixth succes
sive year,
Klemmer, 19 years old and
physically equipped to give an
antelope an argument over a
quarter mile, was clocked in
48.4 seconds. It equalled the
official world's record set in
1932 by lanky Ben Eastman of
Stanford.
Klemmer, who has been hit
ting around 47 seconds with
regularity, finished with 12
yard lead over the second place
man, Hubert Kerns of U. S. C.
In the scramble for the team
championship the U. S. C.
Troiana merely ran true to
form.
The Trojans total 73 points;
California, expected to make a
real fight of it, ran a dragging
second with 48Vi points. Stan
ford and Washington State tied
for third with 24 tallies each.
The rest finished as follows:
Idaho 14; U. C. L. A. 12V4;
Washington 9; Oregon 8; Mon
tana 6: Oregon State 6.
Five new conference records
were established in the quarter,
half and mile runs; the high
jump and the javelin throw,
One casualty was noted. Eu
gene Swanzey oi wasningion
was hit on the leg by a discus
thrown by Carl Merritt of U. S.
C. It caused him to withdraw
from the 880-yard run and the
accident also forced Washington
to withdraw its team in the mile
relay.
Aside from Klemmer s great
run in the quarter, uie nign
jump and mile run produced
outstanding performances. L.es
Steers of Oregon, who already
holds the unofficial world's rec
ord of six feet 10 inches in
the high jump, won the event
easily at six feet 9 inches.
Phil Leibowitz of Idaho
opened the meet with a thrilling
win in the mile run. The time
was 4:09.3, fastest in the far
