Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: 0-C Flag Chase Is 3-Way Fight; Merchants Weak Thus far the Oregon-California league pennant race, exactly one-fourth of which is history. hai been atrictly a three-cornered battle among the Medford Crater, Klamath Falls Pelicani and Dorris (Cal.) Lumberjacks. Tha trio are deadlocked for the loop leadership, each with four wins and two losses, while he hapleci Grants Pass Mer chants art .burled deeply in the cellar with six straight setbacks. Each of the three top clubs have beaten Grants Pass twice, while their two defeats apiece have been suffered at the hands of the other leaders. The truth may be painful to Grants Pass supporters, but un less the Merchants do a lot of strengthening quickly they can just about be counted out of tha 24-game marathon. They don't have the hitting nor the fielding to offer much conten tion in the championship race. and their pitching could stand some Improvement. Grants Pass Is an awfully young team, being composed almost entirely of high school players, soma of whom have a't even been graduated. They are good looking bunch of boys, and enjoyed a whale oi season la prep competition, but right now can't quite hold their own with the more ex perienced Medford, Klamath Falls and Dorris clubs. Local fans ahould get plenty of value received for their dough tha coming week-end, when Red Tolbert'i fast-stepping Lumber Jacks come hert for a two-game erica Saturday night and Sun day afternoon. Tha series will be tha second the two clubs have played, each team winning game earlier in the season. Tha veteran Clyde Carlstrom, curve-balling righthander, will probably work the first contest for Dorris, with Bob Snider, a capable lefthander, taking the mound for tha visitors in the Sunday afternoon fracas. Carl strom. In three league starts, has yet to lose game. Like Curt Davis of "Dem Bums," he seems to be getting better with age. Manager Dutch Lleber of the Craters ha been forced to do little Infield revising, due to Alex McDonald, third baseman, leaving town for tha summer. Tha boss has shifted Don Faw cert from second to third and put Johnny G'.tzen, who played for tha University of Oregon freshman team this spring, at tha keystone. Fawcett looks grand on third base. In the Grants Pais twin bill Sunday he handled 11 chances perfectly, and In the opening game had four atraight assists, throwing out all three hitters In the second Inning and the first man up la the third. Citsen, la the two tilts, handled his post satisfactorily and will no doubt remain there. Before Mickey Shader, Cin cinnati Reds' scout, left town Sunday, w induced htm to pick n all-time major league all-star team. Here it is: Hal Chase, first base; Rogers Hornsby, second base; Hans Wagner, shortstop; Pie Traynor. third base; Ty CoLb, left field; Tris Speaker, centerfield; Babe Ruth, right field; Chief Meyers, catcher, and Walter Johnson. Christy Mathewson and Grover Cleveland Alexander, pitchers Pvt. Dick Lewis writes from Ft Lewis that he plans to turn out for the fort's baseball team and that "1 think 1 can hold down the shortpatch if my arm holds out. 1 only wish Al Light ner could be here with me."

Then Casey Stengel led his bsnd into an ambush at Cincin nati and in four days tha Reds beat the Braves six times lift ing Cincinnati to third and drop ing Boston to a groggy fifth. The Reds completed their sweep yesterday with a 3-1 triumph on the three-hit hurl ing of big Paul Derringer. Yank Win For eight innings tha right hander had a no-hit game and the only Boston player to get on base reached first through an error In the opening inning. Derringer finally was tapped for three singles and a run in the ninth. There was only ona other game scheduled in tha major leagues yesterday and in this the New York Yankees squeezed out an 11-10 decision over Cleve land when Replef Pitcher Tom Ferrlck made a wild throw on Joe Gordon's sacrifice bunt with two on base in the 11th inning. It was a suitable payoff for a game in which each club used three pitchers and the world champions made 16 hit and three errors to Cleveland's 19 hits and two mlscues.
