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.

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.

AT U. 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.
