Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Lightner Ignores Crater to Join Twin Fall Club Negro Worlds Champions Face Craters at 8:30 Tonight The reason why Antelope Al Lightner, recently released by Salem, didn't show up here after signing with the Craters: he has caught on with Twin Falls of the Pioneer league, and, incidental ly, has vhaled two home runs after being unable to do much of anything with the lumber at Salem . . . our own Al (Wray) Lightner, Antelope's brother, also has shaken that plate slump. . The Northern California leaaue aDnarr.itlv ia ennslrier. j ' ably slower than of recent years St. already, the Craters have beaten Yreka, loop leaders, four times, and Redding, In third place, twice . . . last season, re member, both Mt. Shasta City and Dunsmuir walloped the locals . . . thus far this season the Craters have won 14 games and lost seven, which Is travel ing at a .667 clip, and which isn't bad . . . The annual Old Timers' Home Coming will be held at Blue Lake park in Portland July 20, and Oregon's and Washington's "ancient" ball nlavera. hnth nf the bush and professional league variety, will gather at that time to make merry and try to regain their past zip in a couple of ball games ... fly and spinner fish ing along the middle Rogue has been very good the past few days, but steelhead angling has been rather slow. rmrta .in wnarton of Grants Pass . . . Al FUiihman. Crater first baseman, is one of the great est catchers of foul flies this department remembers seeing . . he has that uncanny knack of Judging thera perfectly, and at least four times this year has hauled down pops up the tightiield line in a 'manner positively sensational . . . Al, by the way, voluntarily re tired from last Sunday's game to insure his iour-for-four per fect day at the plate, and we don't blame him . . , them "perfect day" animals don't grow on bushes . . . Dutch Lleber pitches tonight against the Kansas City Mon archy, and will also work the Sunday State league contest against the Bend Elks ... a beautiful thins about th rni.r mound staff is that all four of the elbowers Lieber, Fox, Brown and Smith are capable of going the distance; not one of ti.jm are seven-inning pitch ers .. . we haven't yet seen Sil verton's great outfield in action, but until we do that of the Cra ters, with Wray, Sauer and Gray Is our nomination for the best all-around outer-garden trio in the circuit ... It'll be ladies' night at the fairgrounds park grappling arena next Monday night, and Promoter Mnck Lillard is busy lining up a strong card . . . Lon dos won t be here, which is prob ably just as well ... Big Jim so far outclasses anything in this neck of the timber that fans would rather watch a couple of evenly matched pachyderms ca vort than see Londos toy with ume unionunate. like he did with Bclcastro last Monday eve. We are a poet as followsi Joe DiMag is quite a guy. He belts 'em far and he socks 'em high. But remember, pals, and don't forget, DiMag someday will fall to hit. , LIEBER TO FLING CONTEST AGAINST K.C. No Change Planned in Local Lineup Visitors Have Ail-American Shortstop Those dusky devastators of baseball, the Kansas City Mon archs, take the field against the State league Medford Craters at the fairgrounds park tonight In a game expected to be one of the best, if not the best, of th 1941 P.on The tilt will start at 8:30 sharp, and officials of the Cratara look for the year's largest crowd to be on hand. Anxious to forge another link to their six-straight victory chain, the Craters will send Big Dutch Lleber, ace righthander, to the pitching rubber. Dutch, who already has beaten one colored club, the Palmer House Stars by a 7 to 1 count, will be gunning for his fifth win in six starts for the locals. After Revenge Fresh from a 14 to 0 h1an1rlnf of the Eugene Athletics Monday J nleht. the Monarch! will take the field determined to get re venge for the 8 to 3 drubbing they recelveJ at the hands of the Craters last season. Pitching for the black boys will be either Bob (Dizzy) Dean, Booker T. McDaniels or Jack Matchett. Manaffer Lou Sauer nf 4h Craters plans no change in his Datum llneun.

World's Negro champions, the Monarchs are rated on a par with the House of Davids as the greatest traveling baseball team in America, and are much more powerful than the Palmer House club, which didn't give the Cra ters much trouble.
