Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1942. Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Say:: Craters Display Plenty of Power Against Redding Granting that the Redding club Ted Marletto brought to Medford over the week-end was not nearly to strong as It was expected to be. nevertheless the Craters showed signs of devel oping Into a capable diamond crew, especially offensively. ' In the two games Dutch Lie ber's crowd collected exactly 30 blows, a 13-per-tilt average, and that's clouting In any company and against almost any kind of flinging. Of those 30 knocks five were doubles and one went for three hassocks, all but Worthley'i two baser coming In the 18 to 9, seven-frame Saturday night con test The Crater gent enjoying the best willow average l.i the two game series was Mr. Charles Lieber, the boss, who smote a pair of doubles and one single in three tries Saturday evening for a perfect record. Mr. Lie ber didn't perform in Sunday's fray, possibly desiring to stand pat on that 3-4 3 business. How about It, Dutchman? Dwlght Catherwood, the fleet-footed outfielder, rammy cackled five hits In nine trips In the two tussles, connecting for a double and three singles Battldy and a one-ply swat Sunday. Solvester, the new aecond sacker. got three for four Saturday and two for five Sunday, all of them sin glesi and Alex McDonald, whose third basing is pure class, went one for two In the first game and two for five In the wlndup. Also with three blows In the set were Norm Worthley, short stop; Hat Sowers, first baseman who played only the Sunday game and Clen Swanson, catch er, who made all his in the Sat urday slaughter. The Craters appeared especi ally strong in the box (Lieber, Crlppen and Snider), at third (McDonald), at short (Worthley) and in centerfield (Catherwood). Swanson, the catcher, is a great hustler and a good hitter, but bis throwing arm hasn't yet come to the point where he can fire like he should. Fleishman and Sowers are both good first basemen. Fleish man, we understand, may play for Grants Pass this year, which would leave Sowers with an ap parent clear call on the posi tion. Hal is not yet In the best of playing condition, having ar rived in town only a week or so ago, but despite this fact he handled his 10 Sunday chances flawlessly and whammed out those three hits. Solvester, at second, is not a kid anymore and his arm doesn't appear to be all it should. But he evidently can sock that horsehide, as his five for nine testify. He may loosen up with the advent of warmer weather. In the outfield Harold Lang, the veteran from Hilt, has not yet started to hit. He got only an Infield scratcher In seven trips in the two games, and had no fielding chances. Lang always has been a good sticker, so perhaps he needs only to get his eye en the ball to start pounding them. Mad den, the other outfielder, got one blow In the two games and had no fielding chances. Harold (Slick) Fawcett, the regular centerfielder, didn't play in either game because he had to work, and two other young fellows, Don Fawcett, second baseman and Hal Adams, catch er, saw no action. It seems that Don Fawcett and Adams will be unable to play until high school is out, something about some screwy ruling made by some body. RAIN1ERS BEATEN BY ACORNS. 17-9 By the Associated Press Baseball playerj could differ s to whether Hollywood Is for tunate to open a series of Pacific Coast league play with Seattle tonight. One thing Is certain, however, regarding the Star Rainier fra cas and that is that the scene is set for a battle royal of base hits and alert battery-work. Oakland trounced Seattle, 17 to 9. last night in a wild game characterized by poor fielding and pitching irregularities by the Rainier staff. The Rainiers were undoubtedly r'.qued by the thor oughness of the defeat which woun d up the series at five games to two in Seattle s favor. In days of old, each ship of the u. 5. navy opened its own re exulting station In orde. to se- cure men for its Marine Corps detachment. L GAMES WILL TEST TEAIV1SVSTRENGTH Three Series Stand Out As Important Cubs Trim Reds, 4-3 In Lone Clash. By Judson Bailey AP Sports Writer The major leagues open their first lntersectional strife of the season today and the next 10 days may be more revealing than those that have passed. It is Impossible to evaluate the Brooklyn Dodgers, for in stance, on their record of win nlng nine out of 11 games from the Boston Braves and Phlla delphia Phils and no one will be sure of the surprising strength shown by the Cleve land Indians until they are test ed against the New York Yan kees and Boston Red Sox. At the outset there are three serlei that stand out the De troit Tigers Invasion of Boston in the American League arid the Brooklyn at Cincinnati and New York at St. Louis struggles in the National League. Tigers Surprise The Tigers have come up with some unexpectedly fine pitch ing and the New York Giants with extra-base hitting to aa tound virtually everybody by hanging around third place in the two leagues. Some of the credit for their high estate however, must go to the collapse of the Chicago White Sox, who currently are couched in the American League cellar and the Cincinnati Reds, who are in sev enth place in the senior circuit. Both these clubs were, and still are, expected to wind up near the top. The Reds ran into anotnei setback yesterday, 4-3 in 11 in nings, by the Chicago Cubs and now need desperately to show something against the Dodgers if they hope to get Into the pen nant scramble. For the Cubs victory meant a tie with the Giants for third place. Johnny Vander Meer hurled for the Reds and allowed 11 hits in 11 framea but six of these were bunched In the fourth and fifth Innings for three Chicago rune and two more, singles by Stan Hack and Rookie Len Me rullo, sandwiched an error by Shortstop Eddie Joost in the 11th and spelled Vandy'a doom. All of the other clubs had an open date. SALEMCAPTURES By the Associated Press The Salem Senators, thanks to the efforts of Righthander Bur ton Swope, chalked up their first Western International league triumph last night by beating the Tacoma Tigers 3-1 In Tacoma. In Spokane the Vancouver Capllanos registered their fourth straight victory over the Spo kane Indians, 2-0. Swope not only kept the Tigers' eight hits well scattered, but rapped out a single In the third Inning to help a three run rally. He missed a shutout when a Salem error started a brief Tacoma rally. Frank Mandic Joins Navy Sports Program Portland, April 28 (AP) The navy yesterday signed up Frank Mandic, Hood River high school basketball coach and for mer Oregon State player. He ap plied for an ensign's commission in the physical education pro gram. Mandic was captain of the northern division champion ship team in 1940.

Alsab In Rapid Workout To Prove He's Ready For Derby By Sid red.r Louisville, Ky., April 28 UP) After giving his boosters a doten hours of worry, Alsab breezed down Churchill Downs' stretch early today to end all fears that his cut right leg would bother him either in the Derby trial this afternoon or the Kentucky Derby Saturday. The flying little hope of Al Sabath of Chicago, who caught a nail from hia left hind shoe in his right hind leg yesterday, took over the track and dashed a quarter of a mile in 25-23 sec onds as his final workout for the trial In which he tangles with Warren Wright's Sun Again, Emerson Woodward's pair Valdina Orphan and Hol lywood and several others. Aa Alsab pranced back to the barn under the care of Jockey Basin James, who will ride him in the derby, the cut could be seen Just over his right ankle, but Trainer Sarge Swenke said, "it's nothing that'll bothet him." "He'll not only run today and Saturday," Swenke added, "but he'll probably do quite a bit of it on both occasions." With the Alsab matter set tied. Sun Again once more took over his share of the interest in the Derby trial. On his work in that trial depended his chances of getting to the post In the big race Saturday. At the same time, Trainer Ben Jones admitted he was strictly picking a number out of a hat when it came to Sun Agaln's chances in either of these two gallops. Ben told you that Sun Teddy's son was a cou ple of weeks behind in his training and would be better foi the Preakness a week from Sat urday than for the run for the roses. But after a snappy six-furlong blowout yesterday, even the Missouri magician wasn't going to go out on a limb with any doubt about his horse. The ups and downs of these two Derby babies stole the show from all other developments to day, despite the accepted pos siblllty that the Texas-owne . Hollywood and Valdina Orphan might upset both of them in the trial, and the long-looked for arrival of Ben Whitaker's Re quested and Bill Woodward's Apache from New York. CLASH THUS FAR Whether the Medford Craters will play an exhibition game the coming week-end was still not known today. Fred Lennard, business manager of the Medford Athletic association, said he had been in contact with Springfield. Ore., of the Cascade league, but that he had not been definitely Informed whether that club would be available.

V1TH BOB KRUSE Sockeye Jack McDonald sur vived a five-man battle royal and a tough main event match against Broccoli Bob Kruse to emerge as the lone undefeated matman on last night's weekly wrestling card In the Medford armory, but it took some doing. Kruse, relying on those ter rific wrist-locks for which he is famous, gave McDonald a very unhappy time of it before drop ping two straight falls in their climax match before the year's largest crowd. Sockeye gained his first tum ble after 15V4 minutes of labor, and after undergoing consider able unpleasantness created by a wrist-lock Kruse clamped on his right arm. Finally, McDon ald heaved out of the hold, flipped Kruse over and applied a leg-breaker that forced the Oswego farmer to give up. Four minutes later the match was over. Throwing caution to the wind Kruse clamped on an other arm lock and then per sisted in breaking it over the ropes. Several times Referee Earl Yoakley was forced to haul Kruse off the weary McDonald, and the last time he did Kruse tumbled backwards onto the mat and Sockeye landed on top of him, pinning him for the fall and match. Pedro Brazil and Pete Belcas tro staged a wild slug-fest in the semi-windup, with the latter, as usual, fouling out to give the South American the verdict. Brazil garnered the first fall In the opening round with a roaring clout to Pete's Jaw, while the referee was hung in the ropes. Pete went down like he was shot and Brazil pinned him with a press. Launching his attack before the second-round bell, Belcastro evened the count in short order by driving his right knee to Brazil's chin and pressing his shoulders to the carpet. In the third round Referee Yoakley finally halted things when Belcastro refused to stop choking and gouging eyes, thi enraging the Weed Latin to thr extent that he rushed at Yoak ley swinging wildly and a gen eral melee ensued, with Brazi' entering Into the spirit o. things with several good belt to the Belcastro button. Irish Jim Casey was the first man eliminated In the battle royal, going down under a dog pile. Belcastro was next out and Brazil followed quickly, leaving McDonald and Kruse as the main eventers. be xlng championship. A capacity crowd of 10.000 In the civic auditorium saw the classy San Francisco fighter out point Richie Lemos of Los An gclos. former NBA. feather weight champion, to take ox-er the vacated slate crown last night. Lunny weighed 131, Lemos 13414.

Replying to the statement of the Union with respect to the strike at our Central Point mill, we submit the following: We offered to lign an agreement with the Union identical with the existing agreement between the Union and the Medford Corpora tion, which offer was rejected by the Union. W can conceive of no reason why we should not ba accorded equal treatment with Medford Corporation unlets it Is because the Union feels that sine wa are a smaller and weaker Institution it can exact from us greater con cessions. The statement that w hsva discriminated against members of tha Union is not true. The facts with reference to this matter are these: For some time tha production of our night shift has fallen below tha production of tha day shift. In an effort to remedy this condi tion it was decided to try a different sawyer and edgerman on tho night shift. For this purpose w selected two men, one a union man, and the other a non-union man. Tha non-union man acquiesced in this change willingly and cheerfully, but the union man absolutely re futed to make the change and we felt there was no alternative but to discharge him.
