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

team. Here it is:
Hal Chase, first base; Rogers
Hornsby, second base; Hans

Cincinnati Captures Six In
Row From Boston
Derringer Flings 3 1 Win.
By Judson Bailey
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
Houdinl at his best could not
have turned the tables on the
Boston Braves as swiftly and
completely as the Cincinnati
Reds performed the trick ' this
last week-end.
Before Friday the Reds were
floundering futilely in the sec
ond division of the National
league and tha Braves, who had
been a bold second (or quite a
spell, still were holding deter
minedly to third place.
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.

Reiser Nears Phelps
In Race for Batting
Lead of Senior Loop
New York, June B. (Pi The
American league has been hav
ing a two-man race for batting
honors almost since the opening
of the season and now tha Na
tional league is getting some of
the same.
Pete Reiser, last year's bat
ting champion in the senior
circuit, has been sprinting dur
ing the last week and today had
a lusty .363 average, close on
the heels of Gordon (Babe)
Phelps, Pittsburgh catcher.
Phelp ha been out of action
because of a spiked heel and
made his first appearances In
the Pirate lineup in more than
a week on Sunday. He was
called on to pinch hit twice and
made one hit to inflate his aver
age to .373.
On the same day Reiser made
six hits.
Joe Gordon of the New York
Yankees, riding the crest of a
25-game batting streak, still is
the American league leader with
.388, 13 points ahead of Bobby
Doerr of the Boston Red Sox.
The Yankees and Red Sox,
between them, held seven places
among the top 10 hitters in their
league. Four Dodgers were
among the National league lead
ers, but otherwise the places
were well distributed with the
tenth man dropping below .300
for the first time this season.
