Newspaper Page TextPAGE SIX MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE. MEDFORP- OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1941. Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: 1941 Silverton Nine Rated Over Famous 1939 Club More powerful than the 1939 club, which rushed clear to third place In the national iemi-pro tournament at Wichita, Kans. iter winning the Oregon and northwest "bush" champion ships. That's what the baseball rail' birds In this state are saying about the 1941 Silverton Red Sox, who captured the Oregon semi-pro championship in the recent tournament and who will be here the coming week-end to lock grips with the Craters in n exhibition game Saturday night and a regular State league fracas Sunday afternoon. A glance at the roster of the W. L. McGinnls club discloses several reasons why it is being hailed as better than the famous 1939 outfit, which was generally considered as being the greatest semi-pro nine ever developed in the state. For one thing, this year's Silverton team boasts un doubtedly the strongest mound staff in the State circuit, which it currently leads with three wins and no losses. Cal Mclrvin, 17-year-old southpaw high school sensation and Earl Toolson. 18-year-old Willam ette university righthander, have pitched most of the fames for the Sox. although 19-year-old Jack Richards, a lefthander from Willamette, lias also done his share. In the infield the Red Sox have Ken Manning on first. Johnny Granato to second, Al Kretchmar on short and Lee Shinn on third. Jimmy Robert son does the catching, and in the outfield are Dick Whitman in center, University of Oregon Star; Bill Carney, captain-elect of the Webfoots' 1943 nine, and Richards, in left and right, re spectively. Six of those Silverton pastlm ers were named to the all-state team in the recent tournament, and Richards was nominated as Oregon's candidate for the all American semi-pro team. When he isn't pitching, Jack plays in the outfield because of his speed and plate power. Selected as all-state stars were Mclrvin and Toolson, the latter being named the tournament's most valuable pitcher; Robert son, Kretchmar, Whitman and Carney. The Red Sox romped through the eight-team tourney field with the greatest of ease, and wound up by trimming Bend's tiki in the title game, 12 to2, on Toolson's six-hit hurling. It is not known in what order the Silverton flingcrs will oper ate against the Craters, but a good guess would be Mclrvin Saturday night and Toolson Sunday afternoon. This because Toolson is a righthander and the Craters have only one south paw sticker Al Wray in their Damng order, and because Sun day's game is the one that counts in State league standings. Thus far in the second-half race, the Red Sox have beaten Hills Creek. 8 to 3, on Mc Irvln's eight-hitteri Klamath Talis. 7 to 8. on a six-hit Job by Richards and Mclrvin. and Eugene last Sunday, 5 to 4. on a 10th inning run belted in by Granato. Toolson pitched against Eugene, allowing 12 seattered blows. A victory for the Craters, Sunday will toss the race into at least a triple tie for first place, for Mcdford, Klamath falls, Hills Creek and Albany all are half-stride back of 3 and 0 Silverton with 2 wins and 1 loss Albany and Hills Creek are slated to tangle, Toledo plays at Klamath Falls and Eugene trav els to Bend. If Klamath Falls wins as expected, and Medford overturns Silverton, then Med ford, Silverton, Klamath and the winner of the Albany-Hills Creek fray will all be deadlock ed for the top spot with 3 victor ies snd 1 setback. Cheyenne, Wyo., July 24 (P) As tophands of the western range went into the third riny of competition in the forty-fifth annual Cheyenne Frontier Days, an unheralded bronc- sticker from Arlington, Ore., was riding high.

Elmer Riddle Finally Beaten as 11 GAME WINNING STREAK SNAPPED BY LATEJALLIES McCormlck Beaned, But Not Seriously Hurt National Lood Race Still Tied By Judson Bailey Associated Press Writer The Brooklyn Dodgers have solved the Riddle, heretofore known as Elmer, the unsolved. and given the Cincinnati Reds their biggest shock since the New York Yankees swept the 1939 world series in four straight. The young righthander had won 11 games without a defeat this season and become a sym bol of hope for the beleaguered National league champions. He had been in tight spots, but always came out cn top. Last night, while a crowd of 30,000 at Crosley field whooped in glee. Riddle gained a 4-0 lead over the groggy Dodgers In the first five frames and looked unbeatable. Then with two re sounding salvos Brooklyn came from behind to crush him 8-4 and continue the first place deadlock In the senior circuit. Reiser Doubles They ripped off two runs In the sixth on three singles and an error and landed a three- run haymaker in the eighth on a double by Pete Reiser and three more singles. Frank McCormlck, last year's most valuable player In the Na tional league, was knocked out by one of Kirby Higbe's fast balls which struck him on the head, but an examination at a hospital showed he had received only a mild concussion and might be able to appear in the lineup tomorrow and preserve his "iron man" string of 849 consecutive games. The St. Louis Cardinals nosed out the New York Giants 8-4 in a 12-lnnlng thriller earlier in the day in an effort to gain exclusive possession of first place. vince DiMagglo doubled with the bases loaded In the fourth nnlng of a night game to boost the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 8-2 decision over the Phillies. Dick Errickson's seven hit hurling brought the Boston Braves a 6-1 triumph over the Chicago Cubs. White Sox Win The New York Yankees con quered the Cleveland Indians again 3-2 to draw nine games out in front of the American league pennant race, so called. The Chicago White Sox went on a rampage and whipped the Boston Red Sox 10-4. A two-run homer by Frank Hayes helped the Philadelphia Athletics nudge the St. Louis Browns 8-4 and move within one percentage point of the fifth-place Detroit Tigers, who were humbled for the tenth time In 14 meetings by the Washington Senators, 6-1. FIGHT lilHILT ,1-0 By the Associated Press Kewpie Dick Barrett, last year's number 1 minor league twirler, looked like the Barrett of old as he shut out the Port land Beavers last night to give the Seattle Ralnlers a 1-0 vic tory in a mound duel with young Joe Orrell. The victory evened the Pacific Coast league series at one apiece and broke Portland's winning streak at four games. Barrett allowed only five hits. - The contest was enlivened by a fistic exchange between Jojo White of the Rainers and Short stop Lindsay Brown of the Beavers. Neither made blow count. The Sacramento Senators got back Into championship stride in San Diego, pounding out nine runs In one inning and defeat- ins the Padres 11-9. Oakland blasted out seven nins In the eighth inning to de feat San Francisco 10-8. A parade of four Los Angeles pitchers failed to halt Holly wood and the Stars triumphed 107. Score: R. H. E.

PASTOR MAY GET CONN MATCH FOR I Bob Hands Negro Bad Beat ing in 10 Rounds Jacobs Impressed With Winner By Robert Myers Los Angeles, July 24. VP) Bob Pastor may have earned himself a money-bout with Billy Conn next fall when he handed Turkey Thompson of Los An geles a bad beating in 10 rounds last night in the Hollywood ball park. Mike Jacobs, a witness at the one-sided contest stepped over after the decision and said: "I'm trying to make a match between Pastor and Conn for next November. It may be in New York. It might be here." Sitting at the ringside, four pews down, was Conn himself. He stopped Pastor several months ago and went on to almost lift the crown from Joe Louis In their thriller last month. . No Knockdown Jacobs obviously was Im pressed with Pastor's win over the dangerous, but ineffective Thompson. The ex-New York university collegian captured seven rounds, with two to Thompson and one even, in Referee Abe Roth's book. The Associated Press card gave Pas tor nine rounds, with one, the eighth, to the 21yearold Los Angeles negro. There were no knockdowns In contrast to the six trips Pastor took to the canvas in the first round of their first match last March and there was little damage. Pastor, boxing beautifully and keeping clear ot Thompson's heavy wallops, centered his at tack on Turkey's midsection. He weighed 186, Thompson 188. BY KO IN FIRST Chicago, July 24.

"The Craters just won't set a date for the first game," Hof- fard charged. "They keep put ting us off, although they have publicly accepted our challenge, and in addition they keep billing other teams for exhibition games during the week. It looks to me like we are getting a plain run around, and I wonder if the Cra ters are afraid to play us." Hoffard said that he offered to play the Craters one game for the title, but that officials of the latter team insisted on a three-game series. "Which is OK with us," Hoffard remarked, "if they would just get down to business and set a date for the first game, instead of putting us off time after time. If they can schedule other teams for week-night games, why can't they play us?" The Rogues, first-half cham pions of the Southern Oregon league and undefeated leaders of the second-half race, will travel to Yreka, Cal., next Sun day to play the Miners of the Northern California loop in an exhibition game. A previous Sunday game with Grants Pass, slated for Medford, was called off because the Craters will be playing Silverton in a State league game here the same day. Hoffard has called practice sessions for today and Friday at 5:30 p. m. at the high school park.

Rochester, N. Y. 0J.R Tha army keeps trainees from get ting homesick by following the ideas evolved during the World war by a former professor of psychology at the University of Rochester, the late Dr. Elliott Park Frost. He was the first officer offic ially assigned to building up armv morale. Onlv recently tha av morale branch of the general staff was enlarged and placed under the direction of a general. But Dr. Frost didn't call it "building up morale." He just tried to make the boys feel at home. The nsvcholoev nrofessor rea. soned this wav: At home tha youths could do what they wanted, follow their own hent and satisfy their desires. Army discipline necessarily had to eliminate individual quirks and deny many wants. Hence, Dr. Frost concluded, the new sol diers felt thwarted and became restless. The army's first morale offic er then decided that tha solu. tion must be to make the as much like home as possible and to provide substitutes for civuian activities which had to be eliminated. A One of the first thlnes which could be done was to give the men the same or similar Jobs to those which they have perform ed at home or those for which they were best fitted. Thus, a welder in civilian life would h. put to work welding in the army. Th army cannot nrovlde the fireside circle at home to enter tain the boys at camp. But it can and does duplicate the movies ana vaudeville shows. To permit each man to fnllnnr his own bent there also are pro vided boxing, track, baseball, golf, and bowling. Dr. Frost worked out hi rim- gram at Camp Greenleaf, Ga., in i ana ivin with the aid of Douglas H. Frver. now a nm. fesser of psychology at New Jl York University. Dr. Frost left " At , uie service wim the rank of captain. He died in 1926. A day's record fall at 60 inches, occurred at Giant Forest, California, January 19. 1933.
