Pelicans Pulverize Craters for 12-7 Oregon State Loop Victory FOX SHELLED TO Bill Hanauska Goes Route for Winners; Klamath Hits 8 Doubles and a Triple The Klamath Falls Pelicans concluded their decisive con' quest of the Medford Craters yesterday, following up their IS to 7 Saturday night victory by unleashing thunderous batting attack that produced eight doubles, a triple and eight singles good for doxen rum and a 12 to 7 win in a regular Oregon State league contest The Pelicans, paced by Man ager Ernie Bishop, who belted four singles and a double in six trips, and Paul Crapo, who blasted out three doubles, ham' mered Bob Fox, Medford's start ing hurler, for 16 hits and 11 runs before he retired In favor of young Jack Brown with one out in the eighth. Brown, 17-year-old kid from Portland, yielded one hit and one run from then on. ' Bill Hanauska, 18-year-old righthander from Willamette university, went the route for the Pelicans and gave the Craters 11 blows. He scattered them effectively, however, and was especially tough in the clinches. An example of this occurred In the sixth inning, when the Craters loaded the bases with none out and then failed to score a run as Spike Johnson fanned, Volk forced Joe Gray at the plate and Fox whiffed for the third out. SUM Early The Pelicans started early to make .life miserable for Fox, whose performance yesterday marked the first bad game he has flung this season. The vis itors tallied twice In the first inning and once more In the second to take a S to 0 lead. The Craters made an attempt to get in the ball game in the third by registering twice on Volk's double to left, Del Schroer's triple to right and an outfield fly, but that was the closest they came to catching the high-flying Pelicans. ' Klamath went to work again In the fourth to get run on Bishop's single and Crapo's dou ble, and added three more In the seventh on Crapo's third double, a single by Gross and two-base clouts by Rhlney and Hanauska, making the score 7 to 2. The Craters came back with one in their half of the seventh, but Klamath promptly exploded for five In the eighth to nlace the ffama bevnnrl reach. In Klamath's big eighth, Bishop doubled, Crapo walked, Eye stone and Gross singled and Rhiney tripled to chase Fox to the showers. Wanner, first man to face Brown, was hit by a pitched ball; then, Rhlney and Wanner pulled a double steal, the former scoring. Rally Too Late That ended the Pelicans' scor ing for the afternoon, and though the Craters scored once in their eighth and three times in the ninth the lead was too great for them to overcome. Martenson and Gray singled and Manager Sauer doubled in the last of the ninth for two tallies, and Sauer scored on an error to wind up the locals' run pro duction. ' Hanauska had the situation in hand at all times. He showed the Craters a smoking fast ball and a curve that dropped off the table. He fanned eight. Sauer, Gray, Calvert and Schroer each managed to con nect safely twice, while the other Craters were more or less handcuffed by the stocky pitch er's fast one. ; Al Llghtner, Crater left fielder, came up with one of the finest fielding plays of the season in the fifth Inning. With Gross on first bate, Llghtner flagged Rhlney's scorching drive to deep left-center and fired a tremendous strike to first base that doubled Gross off the bag. The two teams will play an exhibition game here next Wed nesday night. Box score: Xluuth rills: Al II R PO Lloyd. M sail Bithop, sb a a 4 Schwab.

BEND ELKS BELT ELLIOTT, MILLER TO TRIM ALBANY By the Associated Press An eight-run outburst by the Bend Elks in the eighth inning pinned the first defeat of the season on the Albany Alcos, State league baseball leaders, Sunday at Albany, 9 to 2. Bill Hatch, Bend lefthander, hurled five-hit ball, while the Elks combed Glenn Elliott and Red Miller of Albany for 14 singles.

CITY; HOFFARD PITCHES The Medford Rogues, with Manager Paul Hoffard doing the pitching, lost their first Southern Oregon league game in five starts yesterday when they were nosed out by the Crescent City Merchants, 6 to 9, In a nip and tuck contest at the coast town. Hoffard was forced to take the mound when Paul Hess, regu- lar Rogue flinger, failed to show up for the game. An Ashland newspaper quoted Hess as saying that he "will no longer be on the roster of the Rogues be cause Steve Crlppen instead of himself was allowed to pitch against Grants Pass June 8. The ageing Rogue manager turned In a very creditable twirl ing Job, letting Crescent City down with six hits, but errors at crucial moments .combined to nullify his good work. He fanned three and walked none. Yammer, Crescent City pitch er, also yielded six blows. He walked eight and fanned seven. The Rogues scored twice in the second and once each in the third, fifth and seventh, while Crescent City tallied once each in the first and third and twice each In the fifth and sixth.

Boston, June 18 VP) Having wrought what la considered rowing masterpiece in his unbeaten 1941 Harvard varsity crew, the modest and scholarly Tom Bolles confessed today that he waa unable to give an accurate measurement of its greatness. Since it never was closely pressed by a rival eight, all Bolles can say about the most successful boat in Harvard's 79 years' rowing history la that it is "one of the all-time great col lege crews." 'But I never expect to have another crew like it," he admlta. "It could space as perfectly at a 44-beat as it could at 30 and even while going as high as 48 strokes a minute, its progress continued rhythmic." Bones una Harvard season since he came from the Univer sity of Washington In September 1938, was climaxed by the Crim son's fourth clean-sweep of the four-event regatta with Yale at New London last Saturday. Since he became commodore at the Newell boathouse, his five varsity eights have lost but three of their 32 starts, twice to Cornell and once to Navy in sprinting events. The rangy 38-year-old Tom, a keen student of Latin-American history, astounded most of his colleagues with his optimism and frankness when he came east after a decidedly successful nine years' tenure as tutor of the Washington freshman eights, four of which were Poughkeep- sie victors. "Eastern rowing material is as good as any to be found in the far west," he proclaimed. "and all I teach oarsmen to do is work hard while doing things unable to give an accurate mea IN $5000 OPEN WINNER Scores Yterda7 OF BRITISH WAR RELIEF TOURNEY GIrard, O..

By Sid fader New York, June 16 WP) For the first time since Joe Louis began to chop down assorted heavyweight stock and carve it into convenient sizes, the folks have changed their tune from "we believe you" to "you gotta show us. ' A majority of them still think he's going to belt Billy Conn around in the Polo grounds Wednesday night and brush off the 18th challenge to his heavy weight crown. A crowd of some 40,000 will watch the fun after contributing to a neat gate of $500,000 or so. But as Louis and the cocky kid from Pittsburgh polished up their shots and their speed to day in final brief sparring ses sions at their training camps, even some of Joes slncerest boosters were willing to acknow- edge for the first time that he won't have any minutes to waste doing it on this occasion. They know that his best chance of knocking the stuffing out of the smoky city's glamor boy lies in catching Conn before he's warm ed up. T.RS Kin Married Oyster Bay, N. Y., June 16.
