Revived Craters Battle Klamath Falls in League Game; 2:30 P.M.
PELICAN STAR 10
FACE BOB FOX IN
Pitcher's Battle Expected
When Mound Stars Vie
This Afternoon.
Bill Hanauska of the Pellcani
and Bob Fox of the Craters
are slated to take the mound
for their resoectlve elubi today
as Klamath Falls and Medford
clash In a regular Oregon State
league ball game at the fair
grounds park. The opening
pitch will . be at 2:30 o'clock
sharp. The two trams met in an
exhibition game last night.
In view' of past records of the
two pitchers, today's contest
figures to develop Into an air
tight hurlers' duel. Hanauska,
short, stocky right-hander who
flung this spring's Willamette
university varsity into the runner-up
position in the Northwest
conference flag race, has won
one and lost one game for the
Pelicans thus far this year. He
dropped a 6 to 4 decision to
Albany, although whiffing 11,
but came back to trim Eugene,
9 to 9, last Sunday.
Fox, in two loop starts for
the Craters, has broken even.
He lost a heart-breaking 2 to
0 affair to the Bend Elks, but
last Sunday scattered seven
blows to turn back the Hills
Creek Hillbillies, 8 to 2. He is
the Craters' ace moundsman,
and believes he can muffle the
big bats of the hard-socking
Pelicans, who currently hold
down second place in the loop
standings with three victories
and one setback.
Manager Lou Sauer of the
sensational Crater kids, his con
fidence bolstered by their 27 to
6 massacre of Dorris last Wed
nesday eve, went on record Sat
urday as predicting the locals
would belt over Manager Ernie
Bishop's Pelicans. "We are hit
ting now," the skipper explain
ed, "and with the pitching we
can expect from Fox, I am con
fident we will be able to take
Klamath to the cleaners "
The Craters will take the
field with those Portland high
school all-stars very much in
evidence, though some of them
won't start the game. The Med

Calvert back of the plate. Spike

The climate at the batting sum
mit of the major leagues must
agree with long Ted Williams
of the Boston Red Sox and Pete
Reiser of the Brooklyn Dodgers,
because they still are up there
on top.

.438 to .410 during the week,
but was 40 points ahead of his

the Detroit Tigers, who has a
modish .370 figure.

who gained 25 points within a
week to reach .332.
