Despite a fine drizzle of rain
that fell for the first live innings,
making the diamond slippery
but entirely playable, the Med
ford Craten and the Eugene
Athletici put on one of the best
games of the season at tne lair
.rounds park Sunday afternoon
with the locals performing in
errorless fashion behind the six
hit fllnalna of big Dutch Lieber,
taking a 9 to 2 verdict in a tussle
run off in one hour and 2a min
utes. Surprisingly, there were about
300 dyed-lnthe-wool fanatics
who made their way to the park,
regardless of a torrential down
pour which didn't let up until
two minutes after three. At that
point huge blankets of canvas
were taken off the diamond and
the boys started the game. The
loyal customers in the stands,
braving the cold weather, were
richly repaid for their attend
ance. The Crater kids clinched the
contest In the eighth Inning by
scoring three times to shatter a
2-all deadlock. Two errors, one
by Catcher Dick Bishop and one
by Shortstop Bill Hamel, his
third of the game, aided the
locals In their tilt-winning rally.
Johnson Singles
After Joe Cray fouled out to
Bishop, Manager Lou Sauer
struck out but reached first
when Bishop let the pitch get
way from him. Spike Johnson
unraveled a line single to cen
ter, sending Sauer to third, and
took second on the throw-In
Hamel booted Volk's easy roller,
Sauer scoring and Johnson
crossed the plate on Frankle
Roeland's Infield out. Lieber
then dropped a Texas league
aingle Into left-center tallying
Volk with the third run.
Lteber hurled a grand game
In giving the Craters their sec
ond Oregon State league victory
of the season. Brought here from
Redding, Cel., to pitch the final
second-hall fray, the big right
hander kept the A's six blows
nicely scattered, walked nobody
i and whiffed five with a blazing
fast ball and a razor-edged
curve.
Smoky Joe Spencer, former
Crater pitcher who went the
route for Eugene, almost match
ed Lleber's sterling performance
He allowed the Craters only
seven safeties, fanned four and
walked only two. In fact,
was as nice a pitchers' duel as
has been staged here this sea
son.
Both clubs tallied a run In
the first Inning, Eugene's con
Ing when Koch, leadoff man
dropped a triple down the right
field line and scored while Volk
was throwing out Hamel, and
Medford when Del Schorer dou
bled to right and scored on Al
Lightner s double to left center
It stayed at 1-1 until the sixth
when the Craters went In front,
2-1, when Sauer got life on
Hamel's error and tallied on
Volk's double to right.
First Homer
Chuck DeAutremont. former
University high and Southern
Oregon College of Education
star athlete, tied it at 2-2
the seventh by whaling a home
run over the lett-centerficld
fence with the sacks empty
was the first outside-the-park
homer of the season, and soared
over the wall at the 36J.foot
mark. Lieber only grinned after
Chuck s tremendous clout, am
bore down to take care of the
Athletics thereafter.
Little Del Schroer continued
his sensational hitting with
double and single in three of
ficial trips. In the last five ball
games, Schroer has clouted 10
safeties in 19 trips. Lieber hit
twice, and Lightner and Volk
each pasted a double.
Games yesterday wound up
the regular first-half schedule,
but all clubs have one or more
makeup tilts to play. The second
half will get under way next
Sunday, with the Craters travel
ing to Albany for a Saturday
night exhibition affair and a
loop tussle Sunday afternoon.
Manager Lou Sauer an
nounced that Catcher Billy Cal
vert and the club had severed
connections following a mis
understanding Saturday night.

IS LUCKY AT LAKE
Diamond Lake, June 23.
(Spl.) Mr. and Mrs. Joe Mil
ler wouldn't let son Donny go
fishing on Diamond lake be
cause he was too young, and If
he hooked a fish he probably
couldn't land It anyway. But
Don wasn't to be denied. After
his folks were safely out on the
lake, nine-year-old Don took a
worn rod he found in the trunk
of the car and after "borrow
ing" two worms from another
fisherman, trudged off down the
lakeshore.
Two hours later Mr. and Mrs.
Miller returned to the dock to
find their boy, "who was too
young to fish waving a 11-
pound rainbow in their faces.
Young Mr. Miller comment
ing on his luck said, " I didn't
have such a hard time getting
him in, but when I did get him
to the bank, I had to sit on him.
He tried to get back in the
water." It was the first time in
the history of Diamond lake
that a fish over two pounds was
taken from the shallow water
near the shore.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller didn't get
a fish.

Portland, Ore., June 23. (IP)
Civilization closed In yester
day on a rampaging fox squirrel
which had scared the wits out of
strollers in Washington park for
the past 10 days.
Fired by vengeance, the squir
rel stalked humans, popping out
of trees unexpectedly to nip
them. He climbed to the
shoulder of one man and tried to
bite off his ear. He charged a
boy who attempted to beat back
the attack with a sling shot.
The pellets hit home, but the
squirrel didn't swerve.
The rodent Just didn't like
humans, and Dr. E. E. Chase,
city veterinarian, said he knew
why. After it was caught by
heavily-gloved man yesterday,
Chase Identified it as one which
escaped recently from the city
Zoo and evidently decided to
war on his former captors.
He probably will go back to
the cage, but took revenge for
that too, by biting the thumb of
the man who caught him.
