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.

TILT TO C. 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

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.
