Northern California league
teams have had such terrible
weather thus far that none of
them are ready to cut loose in
a regular game, they report . . .
Klamath and Dorris did get to

the other day, though, with the
Pelicans copping, 21 to 7 . . .
Virgil Haynes, ex-Medford right
handed flinger, did a stint on
the Pelican mound and looked
right smart . . .
The formation of this new
Oregon-Caliiornla league inci
dentally, was made possible
through the actions of the
Oregon State and Northern
California loops in dropping
two clubs each because of the
rubber and general travel sit

as we all knew, eliminated
Mediord and Klamath Falls,
while the Northern California
wheel ousted Dorris and
Yreka . . . Medford, Klamath
and Dorris immediately got
together, drafted Grants Pass,
and the O-C circuit was born

TO TAKE RUBBER
Steve Crippen Slated To
Fling Sunday Clash
Series Opens '42 Season
The Medford Craters of the
Oregon - California league and
the Redding (Cal.) 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

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

THIRD STRAIGHT
FMjTARS, 2-1
Schafer, Speece Limit
Losers To Five Hits
Rainiers Defeat Oaks, 5-1
(By the Associated Press)
Four Coast league baseball
clubs have been experiencing
formidable success the past few
days, and as a result, the stand
ings with the exception of the
top and bottom places are
changing around something
fierce.
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.
Score:
Hollywood 18 1

located in the cold spots, start

cautious motorists turned on
their headlights. The murk did
not last long.
