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

Palo Alto, Cat, June 21. (IP)
In meet marked by thrills,
spills, the inevitable loose dog
and some stellar individual per
formances, University of South
ern California's Trojans won the
20th annual National Collegiate
Athletic association track and
field team championship today
at Stanford stadium.
Les Steers, of the University
of Oregon, won the high Jump
at 8 feet 10 7-8 inches to better
both the world and NCAA rec
ords. It was the fourth time
this season that the husky
blonde Steers had cleared the
bar above the recognized world
mark of six feet 9 3-4 inches.
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.
Collective victory for the Tro
jans was their seventh succes
sive team title. The score was
81 4 points. Others were not
even close. University of In
diana took second with 90 and
University of California was a
bang up third with 49 1-4 tallies.
Individual honors were
shared shared by many but the
real "iron man" was Billy
Brown, rangy athlete from
Louisiana State university. He
won the broad Jump, took sec
ond in the 100-yard dash, and
third in the 220-yard dash and
scored all of his school's 24
points.
Two double winners were
crowned Norwood Ewell, Penn
State.Negro. and Bob Wright of
Ohio State. Ewell, defending
champion In the two sprints,
won both events In handy fash
Ion. He was clocked in the cen
tury in 9.8 seconds and in the
220 in 21.1 seconds.
Wright won the high and low
hurdles about as easily as Eweft
fronted the sprints. He went
over the 120 yard high barriers
in 14 seconds and came back to
top the low barriers over 220
yards in 23.4 seconds.
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.
