Hilly Hulen Says:
Craters Slowly
Reach Shape For
Leage Opening
Manager Dutch Lleber'i Med
ford Crateri are ilowly shaping
up for the Oregon-California
league inaugural here the week
end of May 16-17 against the
Klamath Falls Pelicans, but lo
cal fans won't be forced to wait
that long before seeing the 1942
club in action.
Either Klamath Falls or the
Dorris, (Cat.) Lumberjacks, also
an Oregon-California loop entry,
will come here for a Sunday
afternoon clash April 12, and
possibly for a Saturday night.
April 11. tilt as wall.
Boss Lieber seems fairly well
satisfied with the manner In
which the team has been de
veloping during occasional work
outs, which will be Increased
now that warmer weather appar
ently is here to stay.
A flock of outfielders have
been working out and Lieber be
lieves the Craters will have one
of the best defensive and offen
sive outer gardens in the circuit.
This, in spite of the fact that Al
Wray Lightner won't be here
'because of some U. S. army busi
ness that can't wait.
' Dwight Catherwood. Phoe
- nix high coach and former
Willamette university slugger,
' Is one candidate for the out
field. He Is a powerful right-
hsnded hitter, has a great
throwing arm and Is very
' fait. Catherwood will prob-
ably be called In the draft, but
' expects to be here for the
next two months at least.
' Another outfielder is Chuck
DeAutremont, S O C E student
who played for the Eugene Ath
letics in the State league last
season. He Is a rlghthanded
power hitter and a fine fielder.
; Other outfield prospects art
Glen Swanson, who also can
.catch; Steve Crlppen, who may
be used in the pasture when he
isn't pitching in order to take
advantage of his batting punch;
Cato Wray, Medford high pitcher-outfielder
and Bob Watson,
local Junior high school star.
And not to forget Harold Lang
tot Hilt, Cel., a stocky rlghthand
ed slugger with plenty of experi
ence, and Paul (Hoosier) Hof
iard, coach and pinch-hitter who
-may see some regular action.
: The Infield Is still in the form
ative stage, with Alex McDonald,
third baseman, the only fixture.
Steve Stevens, a Sacramento,
Cal., gent now employed on the
cantonment, has looked pretty
lair at first base. Jack Swaryck,
Jacksonville high youth and Don
fawcett, Medford high young
ster, are other infielders showing
up well in practice.
Lieber Isn't worried about
- the catching department, what
with Norm Worthley, Junior
high coach and Hal Adams,
Medford high receiver, avail
able. The manager doubts that
Frankie Roelandt, the Craters'
leading batsman last season,
will return to town when Port
land high schools close for the
summer vacation, but he plans
to get Bob Churchill, last
year's third sicker, when Ore
gon State college is out.
The pitching staff will be
headed, of course, by Lieber
himself, Crlppen, who had a
great year with Yreka in the
Northern California loop in
1941, has told Dutch he will hurl
for Medford. Crlppen and Lie
ber are both righthanders

Detroit Peddles Loquacious Buck
BIG RIGHTHANDER
LEAVES SCENE OF
Straight Cash Deal Involves
May Be With Browns.
Unstated Sum Bobo
Lakeland. Fla . March 31 UP)
Friend Louis (Buck) tvewsom
the loquacious baseball pitcher,
will do his talking now from
Washington, where the compe
tition from congress may be
stiffer but no doubt all the more
fun for Buck.
The Detroit Tigers, who
matched Newsom In stubborn
ness over salary If not in the
art of discussion, sold the swash
buckling. 34-year-old righthand
er to the Washington Senator-.
:sst night and wrote off their
last majot holdout problem.
General Manager Jack Zellet
announced it as a straight cash
transaction. The sum was not
disclosed, but it was reported
to have been considerably more
than the $7,300 waiver price.
Twice this spring the Tigers had
asked waivers on Newsom.
Newsom s departure from the
Tigers, for whom he performed
sensationnlly in the 1840 cham
pionship season with 21 victories
against five defeats, had Been
considered Inevitable. Buck re
fused to accept a pay cut from
his reported $33.0(10 of 1941 to
a reported $13,000. The club
wouldn't budge, and the weeks
went by without appeasement
to either side.
The pay cut for Newsom was
part of a general salary slash
through the Tiger squad after
the Tigers come-down in the
1941 season, during which Buck
lost 20 games and won 12.
There was talk here today
that Newsom might not stay
long with Washington. The Sen
ators were said to be hopeful
of .trading him to the Browns
for third baseman Harlond Clift.
Club headquarters of Wash
ington at Orlando said that New
som immediately signed his new
contract. Its terms were not
divulged. -
In event the Browns should
acquire Newsom, they would be
required to pay him at least as
much as the Washington con
tract calls for.

E INJURY TO
JIM CASEY GIVES
BRAZIL MAT WIN
Irish Jim Casey lost his main
event grappling match with
Pedro Brazil in the armory
last night, but the manner in
which the spectacular clash end
ed In no way proved which of
these two fine mabnen is the
better.
For 23 minute the pair ran
the gamut of scientific wrest
ling from A to Z and then, as
Brazil launched a sonnenberg
at Casey's mid-section the lat
ter twisted sharply to one side
to avoid the blow and In so do
ing tore the cartilage loos In
his right knee.
In obvious pain he dropped
to the canvas and not for sev
eral minutes was he able to
stand on his uninjured left leg
There was nothing for Referee
Earl Yoakley to do but award
the fall and match to Brazil,
but that took considerable do
ing. Pedro, a number 1 sportsman,
simply refused to accept the
fall. Five times Yoakley at
tempted to raise Brazil's right
arm In token of victory, but
each time Brazil jerked away
and shook hit head. Finally
Casey, himself, entered the pic
ture with a plea to Pedro that
he accept the tumble, but even
this didn't do any good. Brazil
Just wasn't having any laurels
ol that sort.
At last, as Casey wag belnn
helped from the ring and Brazil
was picking up his robe, Yoak
ley grabbed one of Pedro's arms
from behind and hoisted it aloft.
Thus, the match was officially
given to Brazil, one fall to none
Big Jim, after it was all over,
said the cartilage had been
torn In his knee several times
before, but added that he ex
pected no serious aftermath.
The boys staged a whale of a
clean battle until the accident.

but the South American champ
scored time after time with po
tent holds of his own.
Pete Belcastro grabbed his
middle event encounter with
Andre Adoree by employing a
terrific surfboard after his usual
foul tactics. Belcastro clamped
on the hold in the third round
and forced Adoree to give up.
but the fall was given to the
French-Canadian when Pete
wouldn't break the hold.
However, Andre's shoulders
were so sore that in the fourth
round Belcastro merely had to
clamp on a standing surfboard
for a fall. Adoree was unable
to answer the bell for the fifth
frame and that was that.
Cyanide Cy Williams lost the
opener to Bob Kruse in his cus
tomary fashion. Broccoli Bob
took the initial fall In the sec
ond round with a hammerlock.
with Williams coming back In
the . third to whack Kruse on
the chin several times with his
knees and pin htm with a press.
However, the ref gave Kruse
the match when Williams kept
kicking his prostrate opponent.
