PAflP! TWO MF.DFORn MATL TRTBUNE. MEDFORTV OREGON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27. 1941 Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Hills Creek To Withdraw From State Ball Loop This yrar's Oregon Stat lea gue baseball race hasn't even been completed, but already one club bis announced that it won't be among the starters for the 2942 pennant chase. And It Wouldn't surprise If at least one other team, maybe two more, were missing from the circuit ion opening day next season. Hills Creek, after 15 straight years of Cascade and State loop competition, has given up the ghost and disbanded for good. We don't know the exact reason, but Imagine it boiled down to financial. Hills Creek is a little lumber town near Eugene, and although the mill backed the Club and gave players good Jobs the burden probably became too heavy for such a small commu nity to bear. ' No rumors have been heard that Toledo plans to withdraw from the league, but we under stand the Mudhens will finish far in the red and that Toledo fans are not enthusiastic con cerning a 1942 entry. The Mud hens, once a real power in State league circles, reached an' all time low this season, with nary a victory in 14 loop games. The team really didn't belong in the circuit; It was hoplessly out classed from the very first, and unless It can be bolstered Im measurably, and the fans perk tip, we won't be astounded to see Toledo follow In the foot steps of Hills Creek. Anolhtr town on our doubt ful list, though nothing has been beard that it won't again produce a club, is Eugene. The Athletics, home team of the league's largest city, sim ply do not pull enough cus tomer to pay the bat boy. Why Eugene won't support the A's is a real mystery, and It's not because the club doesn't win. The Athletics ' weren't so potent this season, true, but last year they had a fin club and still didn't draw enough fans to break even financially. And it can't be' from lack of publicity, either, for both the Register Guard and the News are solid ly behind the club and give It 3 tremendous amount of space. It would be a shame If Eu gene is forced to abandon its franchise, end we hope it isn t. But something, apparently must be done in the university town to whip up more enthusiasm. The club can't lose money, year after year, and keep going. Right now, it looks like the other five teams in the circuit are certain to be back. Medford. Klamath Falls, Bend, Albany and Silverton al have success ful seasons, some of them more than others. But all of them are certain to finish In the black or so close to It that the red will have at least a brownish tint. And while on next year's sub ject, we would like to go on record as fervently hoping the league moguls vote to resume the twice-a-weck schedule la stead of this silly one-game-a week 1941 slate. The league. In cutting down this year sched ule exactly one-half from the 1940 28-game program, took a step backward. That's not pro gress, decreasing the number of games each tram plays, and we hope the bosses wil see the light in 1!U3 and go back to that swell two-games-a-week, Satur- fS i. ill. rrt, vr struck a belter bargain.... fian tieman 6 oray wio asisor A four-year-old Kentucky bourbon famous $ince 1870 fiuioul DUlUlen Prodarts Corps, X Y. Lesnevich Outpoints Mauriello CHAMP PILES UP E Pair Rematched For Novem ber 14 After Close Fight Loser Down In Second. By Bid Feder New York. Aug. 27 JP Gus Lesnevich, the fellow who was always the bridesmaid and never the bride in the light heavyweight picture, was boss of the 175-pounders today, but he's going to have to prove it again to make It stick. The rugged Russian from Jer sey, who waited through Billy Conn's reign for two years, whipping everyone but the head man, gained undisputed posses sion of the championship last night in Madison Square Garden by outpointing Taml Mauriello, the young baby-faced flailer from the Bronx. Anybody's Fight But he did it by a margin as close as a fresh shave, and there was such a question left in the minds of the fans after it was over that Promoter Mike Jacobs announced immediately Cus would have to defend the bauble November 14 in the Garden against Tami. Being a sportsman, Uncle Mike wanted the matter cleared up to the satisfaction of all concerned. And the fact that a return go would prove most attractive to the cash customers didn't have a thing to do with making up his mind. By flooring the 21-year-old kid in the second round, cutting his eye in the fourth, bloodying his nose in the sixth and gener ally running away with the match through the first 10 rounds, Lesnevich piled up so tremendous a margin that he had enough to hold off against Mauriellos' closing drive.

Phi Phon 2740 EACH SCORE WIN ILI Cooper Beats Brooks 3-1 After 'Bums' Take Opener 8-3 Reds Divide By Judsoa Bailey Associated Press Writer Brooklyn's beloved bums have met the enemy and although they didn't conquer, neither were they conquered. Brooklyn looked Ilk whirl wind in winning yesterday's opener, 8-3, and then subsided into a zephyr before the magni ficent pitching of Mort Cooper in losing the eight-inning night cap, 3-1. Because of Monday I rain, all the National league contests were doubleheaders. The world champion Reds split with the New York Giants, Pittsburgh divided at Boston, and the Chi cago Cubs captured two from the Phillies. Walters Loses The Giantc beat Bucky Walt ers, 7-4, then had the Reds re taliate with a 9-4 decision on six-hit hurling by Junior Thomp son. Jim Tobln, using his newly- developed knuckleball, pitched a four-hit game to stop the Pir ates, 4-3, and Max Butcher came back with a six-hitter to win the nightcap, 6-1. The Cubs collected three home runs for a 5-4 victory, then romped to an 11-3 triumph in the afterpiece with Dom Dal lessandro hitting a grand slam homer and Paul Erickson pitch ing six-hit ball. In the American league the Boston Red Sox regained third place by beating the Cleveland Indians, B-4 Dutch Leonard managed to evade trouble as the Washing ton Senators shut out the St. Louis Browns, 3-0. The Philadelphia Athletics swept a double bill from the Detroit Tigers, who were held to six hits in each game. Sam Chapman's homer with the bases loaded climaxed the 0-1 triumph id the opener. The A's bunched their hits for two runs in the fourth inning of the nightcap to win, 2-1. BY MP' Fort Custer, Mich., Aug. 27. (P) Corporal Henry Green berg, former outfielder of tht Detroit Tigers baseball team, was arrested by military police at 12:30 a. m. today for speed' ing Inside the Fort Custer grounds. Press relations officers at the fort quoted the military police as saying Greenberg drove his own car 40 miles an hour along Dickman road, where the speed limit is 23 miles. As an immediate result, they explained, Greenberg automat ically is "grounded" deprived for 30 days of the privilege of driving on the military reserva tion. 17 DAY each tectien U private lounf wbera you may work, play or vatcii th tvtr chanctnf pano rama of tbia acanic rout Eact.

The collegians wore the uni forms in which they will face the Chicago Bears, pro cham pions, tomorrow night. They passed and executed running plays under the floodlights. And in slack moments they stared up at the ring seats from where nearly 100,000 spectators will watch them if the weather is good. I All the players named in a poll of fans to start the game for the all-stars are in shape to play, but the coaching stalf, in its grouping of gridders, made it evident substitutions would be made soon after the game starts. Ken Whitlow of Rice is due to replace Rudy Mucha of Wash ington at center and Warren Alfson of Nebraska probably will go in for Tommy O'Boyle of Tulane at guard. Tom Harmon of Michigan and George Franck of Minnesota, halfback starters, will stay in the game but Walter Matuszczak of Cornell will re place Forest Evashevski of Mich igan at quarter and Norm Stand lee of Stanford will go in for George Paskvan of Wisconsin at fullback.

IIIITII &t &rf610Ht EMPIRE BUILDER TrTJtOUOR TO CH1CAOO WtTHOtfT CHAJtOt RAINIERS SLICE IN OVE By th Associated Pre Important from a champion ship slant were Seattle's 7-2 win over Portland in Coast league baseball play last night and San Diego' success against Sacra mento. Theso developments had the effect of leaving the first place Sacramentans only six game ahead of Seattle and seven in front of San Diego. At Portland, infielders skid ded over rain-soaked grounds in fruitless pursuit of balls that ordinarily would have been easy to handle, and as a result both sides scored a pair of gift runs in the early innings. A walk followed by Dick Gyselman's double, however, put Seattle ahead in the fourth, and late in the game, after word had been received of Sacramen to's defeat, the Ralniers beat the mud with joy, rapping out an additional four runs, mostly on Bill Matheson's eighth and ninth inning homers. Hollywood cracked Stan Cor bett for four hits and four runs in the first inning, when Cliff Dapper poled a four-bagger, then coasted to 6-3 victory over Oak land. Larry Jansen, San Francisco's rookie pitching ace, learned that phenomenal hurling may prove barren of results unless accom panied by a semblance of sup port afield. Last night he limited Los An geles to three singles and one base on balls in ten innings but won 4-3, only because the oppos ing moundsman developed a wild streak in the ninth.

That was Johnny's advice to day as 64 qualifiers for match play in the amateur, none too successful In their medal-play battles with the Field club's stubbord par-72 turned to per sonal engagements, with two 18 hole rounds on the "black Wed nesday" program. The qualifying medal went to tV the popular Stewart (Skip) Alex ander, the 23-year-old former Duke university collegian who added a stupendous 77 to hi first round 67. Skip's 144, ex actly even par and set up early, held through the day as at least seven challengers saw their hopes go glimmering on the Field club's trouble-filled area. tXT Johnny Burke, the former in- tercollegiate champion, had th best chance to overtake Alex ander, but after a first nine 38 he finished with a 41, his 77 leaving him a stroke behind Skip at 145. itllllllllllllliP"1 uiMiiiiin uu- . ttot ...me . r- W1 e&tTJ . - ee - 1 QTHi3
