MEDFORD MAH. TRIBUNE. MEDFORD OREGON. SUNDAY, JUNE 22, 1941. PACE TWO Dutch Lieber, Ex -Coast Star, Crater's Hope for Win Over Eugene- JOE SPENCER L FOR FOE IN E TODAY, 2:30 Visitors Need Win to Stay In League First Half Race The Line-ups. Big Dutch Lieber, 190-pound righthander who spent more than a lew highly successful lessons In the Pacific Coast league, will take the mound for the Medford Craters this after noon as they attempt to close the first-half pennant race 01 the Oregon State loop with a victory over the Eugene Athle tics, who still are in the run ning for the rag. The game, to be played at the fairgrounds park, will start at z:au snarp. Lieber, current number one flinger for the Redding Tigers of the Northern California cir cuit, was brought to Medford especially to fling today's regu lar State league contest, uur- lng his Coast league service he labored for the San Francisco Missions, before the franchise was shifted to Hollywood; the Los Angeles Angels and the Portland Beavers. He Is at pres ent working on Shasta dam, and Crater officials will attempt to keep him here for the balance of the season. OoDOslne Lieber will be Smoky Joe Spencer, lanky' righthander who pitched for the Craters two years ago when they operated in the Southern Oregon league. Spencer, who copped several tilts for the Athletics last season and has been going well this year. Is slated to start the game for the A's because Pete Igoe, origin ally scheduled to toil, has left Eugene for a positldn in the east. The game Is vitally Import ant, so far as Manager Andy Hurney'i Eugene club is con cerned, for a victory will keep them in the first-half pennant chase. Thus far, Eugene has won two and lost one game, to hold down fourth place, while Albany and Klamath Falls, tied lor the lead, each have won four and lost one. A defeat for Eugene this afternoon will re move them from the race, while a victory will keep them in the thick of things pending the playoff of several makeup games by all teams now In the running. Manager Lou Sauer has def initely decided on who will fill every position for the Craters, with the lone exception of third base. Either Bob Churchill, rifle-armed kid from Portland, or Harold Martenson, big, rangy youngster from the Ore gon metropolis, will hold down the hot corner. Billy Calvert will catch, with Spike Johnson on first. Bob Volk on second, Del Schroer on short, Al Light ner in left, Sauer in center and Joe Gray in right. The A's, whose last victory was a 7 to 6 thriller over Hills Creek, will probably take the diamond with Dick Bishop be hind the plate, Nig Mcbesius on first, Barmy Koch on second. Don Kirsch on short. Bill Ham- el on third, Lloyd Mptttson in left. Chuck DeAutremont in renter and Hurney in right. In other State league tussles today, Silverton travels to Bend Albany plays at Toledo and Hills Creek entertains Klamath Falls. E PHILS, CUBS LOSE St. Louis. June 21.

The world record bettering discus throw made yesterday by Archie Harris, great Negro ath lete from the University of In diana, held over to win the event for him. It was 174 feet 8 3-4 Inches and Harris merely had to go through the motions today. The accepted world rec ord of 174 feet 2V4 Inches was made In 1933 by Willi Schroder of Germany.

Washington, June 21 Shortstop Lou Boudreau, as de pendable an infielder as there is in the big leagues, tossed away a 13-inning ball game for Cleveland today giving the Washington . Senators a 1 to 0 victory over the league-leading Indians. Boudreau's misplay brought a well-deserved victory to Wash ington's Ken Chase, who al lowed only five hits, particular ly since the last time Cleveland was here he hurled shutout ball for ten innings only to lose in the 11th. It was Washington's second straight win over the pace-setters, but the Indians retained their two-game margin over the New York Yankees who drop ped a 7-2 dec'sion to Detroit.
