In the 'Frisco Chronicle's semi-pro baseball section Mon day was a note concerning the trip to Medf ord to be taken next week-end by the Bear Photo team of San Francisco. Quoting the Chronicle: "The Bear Photos are taking to the road next week-end for a two-game en gagement with the Medford, Ore., club. The Bears, who have won six games out of nine this ear, have a game set for Sat urday night and then play a second on Sunday afternoon. This is about the longest trip of the year for the Bears, who will depend on the pitching ability of Bob Pcrret and Cookie Pera In the Medford series." Alto In the column was the following "dope" on the Bear Photosi "Skipper Johnny Ma rettl of the Bear Photo nine says that the reason the team has been winning the major ity of tts games this year Is becai.se of the high class work of Sammy Gomes, outfielder) Al (Papi) Chiaruccl. catcher and Solly Costa, shortstop. The latter two are 20 year-old youngters and Jutt recently graduated irom the Junior team." An env way to designate In dividual face cloths and bath towels is to assign diff rc.it col ors to each member of the fam ily. Then mark the ariicles with washable colored threads.

Tomorrow morning the Med ford Craters may be resting all alone at the top of the heap in the torrid Oregon California league pennant race, for tonight at 9 o'clock they entertain the cellarlte Grants Pass Merchants at the fairgrounds park. Currently deadlocked for first place with the Klamath Falls Pelicans, each club having won six and lost two games, the Crat ers can take over the undisputed loop leadership by whacking the Merchants, who have failed to capture a game in eight starts. Manager Dutch Lieber of the locals was undecided today which pitcher he would send against the visitors, but it was believed that Steve Crippen was the logical choice. Crippen. who has won four straight. worked against Dorris last Sat urday night, while Lieber and Wlmer divided the mound chores in the Sunday game. Two New Players Grants Pass, wh'ch has been strengthened by the acquisition of Bob Normyle of Glendale and George Hagedorn of the State league Sllverton Red Sox, Is ex pected to have either Rusty Martindale or Bob Gehrlnger on the rubber.

(AP) Big Ten athletes upset their Pacific coast foes last night to break for the first time the track mastery the westerners have enjoyed in the six years the two conferences have been meeting. Fresh from dominating the national Intercollegiate meet at Lincoln, Neb., the best the coast boys could do was capture first places in six of the 13 events with Southern California, the N.C.A.A. champion, winning two of them. The point totals were 69 2-3 to 37 1-3 in favor of the Big Ten, which never before had come within 24 points of winning. The Big Ten took all three places In the discus throw while the coast stars slammed the shotput event. There were two double win ners. California's Hal Davis won the 100-yard dash In 9.5 and the 220 in 20.4, both new meet rec ords, and Ohio State's Bob Wright took both hurdles. He set a record of 14 seconds flat In the 120-yard highs. Other rec ords were not threatened. Only one of the meet's three exhibition performances was suc cessful, Dwight Eddleman, Cen tralis, 111., prep high jumper, cleared 6 feet, 6 inches, two inches above the collegians' best. The Great Lakes naval training station mile relay team finished last as the coast quartet won, and Cornelius Warmerdam failed in three attempts to clear 15 feet In the pole vault. Suffering from a twisted left ankle suffered in a New York charity show Sunday, Warmer dam had to settle for a 14-foot, 2 lnch performance. Young Shortstop Is Signed by Red Scout Eugene, June 17.

M D OPEN XROOSHUL' Slaughter's Homer Gives St. Louis 4-3 Win Over Giants Red Sox Torrid. By Sid Feder Associated Press Sports Writer. This is Just to let the happy Gowanus girls and boys in gen eral and Larry MacPhail's Brooklyn Bums In particular in on a little secret . . . there really is another team in the National league. The way the pats on the back are bouncing arbund the Flat bush side of the East river these days, no one seems to realize that the Dodgers may be in a fight for that pennant yet. But just in case it's been overlooked over there, the St. Louis Cardi nals are on the prowl. And with six wins in a row and 14 out of their last 17, they are strictly not an outfit to be brushed off like a blonde hair on your coat lapel. At any rate, the season's first "crooshal" series is cooking up to start Thursday, when the used-to-be gas housers wheel their circus into Ebbets field. At this writing, the Cards are Just 4Vi games away, having dis posed of the Giants 4-3 yester day on the strength of Enos Slaughter's tenth-inning homer. And, taking another chunk out of the same steak, it might be pointed out that the Red Sox, over in the American league, also can still make trouble, even if the New York Yankees are bouncing along on a nine-game lead after splitting their five hour twin bill with Detroit yes terday. For, the Red Sox, spark ed by Lefty Judd's six-hit curv ing, knocked off the bewildered Brownies from St. Louis 4-2 last night to run their winning streak to nine count 'em in a row. Yanks Divide Over in the American league, the Yanks and Tigers put on something new starting a double header in Detroit at 3 p. m. the Bronx boys blew the first game 7-6 on Rudy York's 14th homer of the year and Jimmy Bloodworth s eighth. And they were on the way to kicking the after-piece away when the Detroits loaded the bases on Hank Borowy in the ninth inning. But Fireman Johnny Murphy arrived with his hook-and-laddcr curve as usual to save a 5-3 decision and keep Barowy among the sea sons undefeated elbowers with five wins. Completing the American MRS.
