TRIBUNE TRAPSHOOT WON BY DRISCOLL. PAGE TWO TILT WITH FIVE ' SCORES IN FIRST Kelso Pitcher Wild With 10 Walks, 5 in First Frame Gray Is Fielding Star TU a pity the Medford Cra- ten, instead of performing In the Oregon State circuit, can't organize and operate in an "Out- of-State" league. For if they could, they'd be the number one club with plenty to spare. The Crateri have copped four tilts in as many starts against California opposition, and yester day they added Kelso, Wash., to their list of victims hailing from outside the Oregon do main. With Bob Fox flinging shut out ball after the first frame and Centerfielder Joe Gray turning in two fielding gems to squelch the same number of threats by the enemy, the Craters chalked up 6 to 3 conquest before a large crowd at the fairgrounds park. It was a grand pitching duel after the initial inning when eight of the game's nine tallies were scored. Glen Swetman, lanky curveballer for the Wash- lngtonlans, gave the locals only four blows, three less than Fox yielded, but he was as wild as a sou in African zanie. swetman Issued 10 bases on balls all told, five of them coming in the open ing heat when the Craters scored five times on one hit to clinch the contest. i Slater Doubles From then on the Craters could get only three hits, scor ing their final run in the eighth inning on a walk to Fox, a passed ball, an Infield out and Alex McDonald's towering fly to right field. s- Durrell Slater, Medford'i 17-Vear-old catcher, provided the big explosion in the first frame when he hammered a two-run double down the left field line, after one run had been forced across the plate on a walk with the bags loaded and another had scored on Al Lightner's fly-out to centerfield. The fifth Crater tally scored on Second Baseman Huggins' boot of Fox's roller. In this inning, Swetman walked the first three men to face him. . The Craters got away f o a bad start when Del Schroer, of all people, committed two errori In the first inning to set up Kelso's three markers. First, he threw Miller's grounder wild to first, and after Austin singled to cen ter, he picked up Sonedccker's double-play smash and heaved it past Saucr Into right field, Aus tin scoring. Pietclla doubled just Inside the first base bag to tally Bailey and Sonedecker. That outburst finished Kelso for the afternoon, as Fox turned on the heat to scatter five hits and his teammates cooperated by giving him sparkling sup port especially Joseph Gray who, incidentally, belted out two of Medford's four hits. Out at Home Gray's first great fielding con tribution came in the sixth after Sonedecker led off with a single to left and went to second on an infield out. Manager Eddie Foss singled to center and Grav. picking up the ball, rifled It home to nip Sonedecker trying to score. . In the eighth. Toots Bailey led off for Kelso with a blistering double to right-center. Sone decker flied out to Gray, then Pietclla hit one to the same spot The ex-Oregon State football star snagged It and fired to Schroer on second to double Bnilcy off the bag. - Fox hurled a masterful game after the first (inning. Although he whiffed only four men, same number fanned by Swetman, he gave up no bases on balls and forced the visitors to hit Into the air or on the ground. Cray Hits Two - Gray, with a double and single in three official trips, led the Craters at the plate, with Slater contributing a two-bagger and Glenn Swanson hitting a single. Bailey socked two blows, one a double, to pace the visitors. Dnx score: Kalao: AB n H K lllllrr. M 4 0 0 1 Austin. Sb . 4 110 biit.

CLOSE CONTESTS FEATURE PLAY IN El Hobart Price Beats Earl Tumy 1 Up On 27th 16 Duels End in Same Score Extremely close scores fea tured a week-end of busy activi ty at the Rogue Valley Golf club as 64 entrants in the annual Barker Palm Beach Spring han dicap tournament played their first round 18-hole matches in four flights. In the tightest duel of them all, Hobart Price and Earl Tumy battled 27 holes before the for mer emerged with a one-up vic tory. It was a championship flight match. No less than 17 of the 32 matches were decided by a one up margin, and there were many others won by scores of 2 and 1 and 3 and 2, etc. In fact, the most decisive victory was the mere 4 and 2 conquest of George Hunt by Gain Robinson in the second flight. Handicaps Responsible Club Pro Laddie Selkirk ex plained that the closeness of the matches was due to the fact that handicaps now are being set on the basis of 10 cards turned in, thus insuring hot competition as players evenly matched are pitted against each other. Two matches in all flights will be played this week, and must be completed by Sunday night. The beaten eight in all flights, including the champion ship, will enter the consolation bracket and will also play two matches. Hance Cleland still leads in the number of cards turned in weekly, with 19, while Bob Sherwood is right behind with 18.

Miraculous White Sox Forge Into American League Lead By Sid Fader Associated Press Sports Writer Miss secretary, when you finish figuring out how the top of both big leagues got so scrambled during the week-end, please take a letter to Mr. James Joseph Dykes, care of the Chicago White Sox, first place, American Baseball League: "Dear Jimmy: We see by tne papers you're right up there at the head of the parade today. Nice going, pal. But you better give those old legs of yours a shot In the arm and come back to work. That is. If you want that American league pennant, you'd better come off that re tired list and try to put a cork in your Infield. "You split with the Senators yesterday, blowing the first, 3-2, and taking the nightcap, 4-3, in 11 Innings. Except for some extra-special stuff by those Fancy Dans In your infield, you might have won both ends to really take a toe-hold on first place, in stead of barely getting a grip on a one-percentage-point edge. "Just look back over the re cent goings-on. Sure, you've won 15 of 21, but If it weren't with mirrors then how was it? Your boys made four errors yesterday in the first game and blew it and the fumbles were directly responsible. They made three the day before and had to go all out to win. They made two last Wednesday and were whip ped, and three the day before that and dropped another." Having disposed of that busi ness, we can turn our undivided attention to the celebration over on the banks of the Gowanus in Brooklyn. The Dodgers nipped the collapsing Cardinals. 3-2, yes terday to climb Into a first-place tie with St. Louis in the National league. Although the White Sox' split left them one point in front of the Indians in the American league percentage standings, the Tribe actually remained a half game on top in the won-lost rec ords, despite the 2-0 and 5-3 thumpings they absorbed from the Yankees to run their losing streak to four straight. The Boston Red Sox moved into fourth place and dropped Detroit all the way to sixth by trouncing the Tigers twice, 7-6 and 6-3. The amazing Athletics turned in 5-2 and 5-3 victories over the Browns behind steady hurling by Bump Hadley and Phil Marchildon. The 400th homer of Mel Ott's 17-year career led the New York Giants to a 3-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds in the first game of their double bill, but Junior Thompson's eight -hit flinging gave the Rhinelanders the after-piece by an identical score. The Chicago Cubs bombarded the Phillies, 9-5, In their opener, and then took the nightcap, 1-0. BECK AND ROSE REACH PUBLIC LINKS FINALS Portland, Ore., June 2 Wl EdiUe Beck, Portland, advanced to the finals of the Oregon pub lic links golf championship yes terday with a 2 and 1 victory over Marty Leptick, Portland. Beck shot 141, three under par for the 36 hole test, to earn the right to meet Louis Rose, Port land city champion and Oregon coa.it titlist. next Sunday. Beck won the title in 1939.

OF OREGON University of Oregon, Eugene, June 2 (Special) Bill Calvert, Bob Newland and Al Winter, all University of Oregon students from Medford, were among the 80 recommended by Webfoot coaches for spring term athletic awards In baseball, track, golf and tennis. Newland, freshman In physical education, became the only Ore gon athletic to win awards in thtce sports when he was listed for numeral sets in both track and baseball. He had previously won his "1944" numerals as the outstanding member of the 1941 Dt'ckling basketball team. This spring Newland was Coac Ned Johns' leading high jumper on the Duckling track anr field team. He tied with a teammate, Phil Jackson of Grants Pass, for first against the Oregon State rooks and in the same meet placed second in the broad Jump. Upon completion of the track season Newland turned to base ball and teamed with Wimer to head the Duckling pitching staff. Wimer and Newland both hurled in the final game of the Frosh O. S. C. rook series, which waa lost In the tenth inning, 2 to 3. Wimer, who pitched through out the season, was the only left hander on either the freshman or varsity mound staffs. Calvert was a mainstay of Ore gon's northern division baseball championship nine, catching ' every game played. Although his batting average fell below that of last year, he was regarded as the team's most effective "pinch" hitter and drove in win ning runs in several gaxies. LOCALWROLL 2,504 AT LOS A.
