Billy Hulen Says:
Leiber Issues
Only One Walk
In 31 Innings
One reason (perhaps the most
important) why Dutch Leiber
of the Craterg is so hard to beat
is his almost incredible control
...against Eugene, Yreka, Cres
cent City and the Palmer House
Stars the big fellow has flung
31 innings, and walked just
ONE man . . . that lone free trip
to first was handed out against
Yreka ... in two nine-inning
games (Eugene and the Palmer
House Negroes) Leiber gave
nary a base on balls, and In
four frames of toil at Crescent
City July S be dittoed . . . such
control as that places a terrific
strain on the opposition, for it
makes them earn their base
runners by hitting that ball...
no gifts, so to speak , . .
Handy Andy Hurney has re
signed as manager of the Eugene
Athletics and the club, beset by
reported player-dissention and
financial difficulties, has not vet
named hi successor . . . Bobby
Volk, who got homesick and
went back to Portland early this
week, played second base for
Bend the other night in the
semi-pro tourney .. .Alex Mc
Donald, Crater third-sacker un
til he left for summer school!
at the U. of Oregon, is holding
down the torrid cushion for
Albany ...
Wouldn't you know It Just
when we select Albany to cop
tne semi-pro tournament, what
happens but that they get
thumped, first by Bend, then
by Valsetz to eliminate them
completely from the show . . .
with Albany out, we will shift
our support to Silverton, which
undoubtedly means that club
won't win another game . . .
Carl Snavely, the famous
Cornell grid mentor, recently
shot a hole-ln-one from 180
yards, and with customary
pessimism commented: "That's
the only good shot I've had
. this year"... It's a funny
thing, but some fanatics who
have been watching ball
games for years and years
still think any time a ball
. is touched and not fielded for
' an out. It's an error on the
fielder , . . yes. regardless of
how hard the apple is shel
lacked, or how far the fielder
runs to touch It...
Jeemy Londos, International
mat champ who cavorts here
next Monday eve. is said to be
quite a keen student of Greek
philosophy, and has even been
heard quoting from Shakespear
on occasion, a la Gene Tunney
. . . Londos also owns a citrus
ranch in southern California,
where he retires every so often
to relax and count his folding
money ... oh yes, we understand
he can wrestle some, too...-
Aside to Del Schroer: Little
fellow, won't you please start
practicing on coming in on
those slow hoppers, and even
on the harder hit grounders, so
that you play the ball and not
vice versa? . . . Eddie Brletz re
ports that Arky Vaughn, who
blasted those two mighty homers
in the all-star game, had been
sitting on the bench for the
Pittsburgh Pirates for the past
two weeks and is Frankie
Frisch's face crimson . . .
ROGUES PLAY AT

The Medford Rogues will
travel to Grants Pass Sunday
afternoon to meet the Mer
chants In the only Southern
Oregon league game of the day.
Scheduled to pitch for the lo
cals is Pete Foster, fat-bnlling

his lineup would be substantial

AS
TOP HEAVYWEIGHT
IAN If
There may be numerous
"heavyweight wrestling cham
pions," but Jim Londos, who
will tangle with Pete Belcastro
In the one-hour main event of
next Monday night's great out
door program at the fairgrounds
park, is generally recognized in
mat circles as the most legitim
ate claimant to the champion
ship of the universe.
Returning to his native Greece
three years ago because of his
father s illness, Londos proceed
ed to take on and defeat the best
matmen in Europe and Africa.
Upon his return to America, he
faced Bronco Nagurski, then
recognized by most people as
the heavyweight king, and de
feated the ex-Minnesota grid
star in a torrid 40-minute match.
Since then, Londos has claimed
the International title, and no
body has arose to dispute his
right to the throne.
The handsome Greek has been
in the mat game for about 29
years, and always has wrestled
clean so long as his opponent
didn't turn dirty. When this lat
ter occurs, Londos is capable of
turning on enough heat to
scorch the toughest foe, an Item
that Pete Belcastro might do
well to remember. Though he
probably won't.
In the two preliminary
matches to the main event. Cow
boy Dude Chick and Billy Mc
Ewen will clash In the semi
windup, and Ernie Piluso will
face George Wagner in the open
er, both of six 10-minute rounds.
McEwen is the Pacific coast
llght-hravyweight champion and
will be making his Medford de
but. Reserved seat tickets for the
first wrestling program here in
two months are on sale at the
Owl club exclusively.

Bv Bill Ban!
Associated Press Writer
Though they can turn out to
be duda iuat sa eaailv aa hlffh
explosives, there were definite
indications today that the Cleve
land Indians and St. Louis Car
dinals aren't going to give up
the pennant races without a
struggle.
At the moment, the battles
are Just as they were before the
all-star contest, with the New
York Yankees three and a half
games tip on Cleveland in the
American league, the Brooklyn
Dodgers three games to the good
over the Cards in the National.
But there's the hitch the pace
setters didn't pick ud any
ground.
The Yanks, opening a swing
throueh the west. srt in fit-
innings last night before it
rainea in til. Louis. That proved
Just enough for Joe DiMaggio
to run his hittinff streak tn 4Q
straight and for Lefty Gomez to
oianK me Browns, i-o, on five
hits. At the KAm a time thnnoh
the Indians were beating the
Athletics 3-2. with Bnhhv Teller
setting the A's down on six safe
ties and then clinrhinff vletnrv
No. 17 by scoring the deciding
run after belting a triple In the
nintn.
In the other circuit the Diff
ers also were kept from widen
ing their margin. In one of the
Droffram'g two afternnnn 0ama
they tamed the Cincinnati Reds,
8-3, on Kirby Higbe's second
straight five-hitter and timely
hitting by Cookie Lava get to,
Billy Herman and Ducky Med
wick. But the Cardinals stuck right
on their heels. In a wild-eyed,
free-swinging contest that in
volved five homers and eight
pitchers, the Red Birds first ran
up an 8-0 lead, saw it disappear
in one Inning, then came back
with five more to blast the New
York Giants, 13-9, and end their
own five-game losing streak.
At Chicago the White Sox
supported John Dungan (CQ)
Rlgney'a seven-hit hurling with
a 14-hit assault of their own to

Craters Entertain Redding
And Toledo This Week-End
Soaring along on the wings of a four-game winning streak,
the Medford Craters will attempt to add a couple of victories
to their string this week-end when they entertain the Red
ding Tigers of the Northern California league in an exhibition
game Saturday night, and clash with the Toledo Mudhens In a
regular Oregon State league tussle here Sunday afternoon.
The Saturday eve affair will
get . under way at 9 o clock,
with the Sunday afternoon con
test starting at 2:30. Both games
will be played at the fair
grounds park.
Manager Lou Sauer said to
day that Bob Fox, smooth-working
right-hander, would be on
the Crater mound against Red
ding Saturday night, and that
either Bill Smith or Jack
Brown, two youngsters from
Portland, would fling the league
fracas against Toledo Sunday.
Big Dutch Leiber will be avail
able for relief purposes if
needed.
Redding, one of the best clubs
in the N.C.L., will come here
bent on getting revenge for that
2 to 1 licking the Craters hand
ed them here on May 24. That
was one of the most sensational
games played here in years, go
ing 10 innings before the
Craters punched across a tally
in the final frame to cop the
verdict, and the fray Saturday
night is expected to be the same
sort of an exhibition.
Pitching for the Tigers will
probably be Fred Kienle, sharp
shooting righthander who
struck out 18 Craters in his
last appearance here.
Sunday's game will signify a
resumption of Oregon State
league action after a week lay
off to make way for the state
semi-pro tourney. Eagleson is
expected to be the pitching
choice for the Mudhens, who
boast a fair club that hasn't yet
been able to get started.
The Craters will take the
field with Frank Roelandt
catching, Al Fleishman or Ante
lope Al Llghtner on first. Cliff
McLean on second, Del Schroer
on short, Bob Churchill on
third, Al Wray In left, Sauer
in center and Joe Gray in
right. Lightner was expected to
arrive In Medford some time to
day, but in case he doesn't get
here this week-end Fleishman
will hold down the initial cush
ion. In other State league games
Sunday, Albany will plav at
Eugene, Hills Creek at Bend
and Klamath Falls will fare
Silverton.

LOCAL LEGION JUNIORS
VIE WITH MARSHRELD
Still mathematically In the
race for the district 4 pennant,
thanks to their 10 to 3 victory
over Roseburg at Roseburg yes
terday afternoon. Coach Riney
Cook's Jackson county American
Legion Junior baseball team will
tangle with the Marshfield Le
gion Juniors at the high school
park here Sunday morning at
11:30. The game is starting at
this early hour so as not to inter
fere with the Crater-Toledo
game at the fairgrounds park
at 2:30.
Coach Cook said today that
Bob Smith, the Jacksonville
righthander, would start on the
mound for the locals, who split
even in a doubleheader with
Marshfield two weeks ago. The
locals must win to remain in the
race for the title.
Charlie Jandreau of Ashland
went the nine-inning route for
the local Juniors yesterday and
allowed only four hits and
fanned seven. The losers put
together four errors and one
hit to score all three of their
runs in the seventh frame, after
Medford had posted a 6 to 0 lead
with single tallies in the second
and third, and four In a big
seventh. The locals got three
more in the eighth and one in
the ninth to clinch the game.
Kazuo Maruyama of Catholic
Men pitched the season's first
no-hit, no-run Softball game last
night at the stadium by blank
ing Bear Creek Orchards, 7 to 0,
in a regular league contest. Only
two Bear Creek batters reached
first base, both on walks, and
Maruyama whiffed eight.
In the other league tussle.
Jennings Tire company defeated
Meaco, 8 to S, and in an exhibi
