Tigers of the Sacramento Valley circuit will clash in a two-game series at the fairgrounds park here this week-end, the Saturday night tilt starting at 9 o clock sharp and the Sunday afternoon strug gle commencing at 2 o'clock. Manager Charles (Dutch) Lle ber of the locals, in announcing the tentative lineup for the first games of the 1042 season, said that he would be on the mound for the Saturday night affair, with Rlghthanded Steve Crip pen flinging the Sunday con test.

Cubs Believed Strong The game was arranged this morning following a week of unceasing effort by Fred Len- nard, business manager of the Medford Athletic association, to line up contests for this week end. While no definite word has been received concerning the strength of the Cubs, It is believed they will prove a stronger outfit than the Red ding Tigers, which have ap peared here the past two years. Redding, this season, has only one ball club, the Cubs, and has . combined the talents of last year's Tigers and Cubs. Lleber. who came here from Redding, said he was certain the Cubs would bring a powerful team to Medford. I The Craters have been work ; Ing out steadily for the past sev ' eral weeks and are in fine shape for the opening games. Skipper Lleber said that all members of the roster would get a chance to show their wares In the week- end clashes, if the right oppor tunities arose. Lennard announced that a few season tickets were still i available and could be pur ! chased by contacting him at the J M. N. Hogan brokerage com I pany office.

Portland won its third straight from Hollywood last night and Its second consecutive extra inning decision 2-1. San Di ego, likewise for the third time in a row, tumbled San Fran cisco, 8-3. At Los Angeles and Seattle, where the current series did not get under way until Wed nesday night, the home teams scored repeaters, Los Angeles over Sacramento, 4 to 2, and Seattle over Oakland, 3-1. As a result, Portland ad vanced from seventh place to sixth. San Diego from fifth to fourth and Los Angeles from a fourth place tie to third. San Francisco skidded from sixth to seventh, Hollywood from the tie for fourth to fifth, and Oak land, which topped the league only two day? ago, dropped perilously close to third. Al Wright's tenth inning sin gle scored Lindsey Brown with the winning run in Portland's victory over Hollywood. In other respects, as well, the game duplicated that of the night be fore, for the Beavers again took an early lead to have their ad vantage eliminated by a ninth inning Hollywood rally. Walter "Tilly" Schafer and Byron Speece combined in a neat five hitter, with Speece as relief pitcher getting credit for the win. Three double plays wiped out every Hollywood scoring threat but one, and the Stars ended each inning with out a man on base. Portland, with 10 hits in all, left nine stranded.
