Dick inson pitching and Johnson catching the Medford Craters took over the undisputed Oregon-California league leadership by crushing the Grants Pass Merchants, 12 to 4, before skimpy crowd at the fairgrounds park last night. Dickinson, a big righthander with a zooming curve and plenty of "swift", struck out 13 Merchants and yielded only seven blows as his Crater team mates pounded Bob Gehringer, Grants Pass starboarder, for 18 hits, including four each by Manager Dutch Lieber and Dwight Catherwood. Dickinson's control was perfect, not a Mer chant receiving a base on balls.

By Judson Bailey (Associated Prist Sports Writer) The St. Louis Cardinals, rid ing the crest of a seven-game winning streak, will move into Brooklyn today for a five-game series with the Dodgers that may throw the National league pennant struggle back int a battle royal. Through quirks of the weather these two fierce rivals have met only four times thus far and of these games the Red birds have won three proving to the satisfaction of St. Louis, at least, that the Dodgers' 4V4 game lead is an uncertain bul wark. The Cardinals warmed up for today's important tussle (a twi light affair) by white-washing the New York Giants, 3-0. on the five-hit hurling of big Mort Cooper. The Dodgers showed no qualms at the approach of their challengers, turning back the Chicago Cubs, 5-1. Kirby Higbe pitched four-hit ball for his sixth victory. At Detroit Paul (Dizzy) Trout, who had been beaten five times in a row, hurled a five-hitter to hand the world champion New York Yankees their first shut out of the season as the Tigers won, 1-0. Phil Marchildon, the strong righthander of the Philadelphia Athletics, also ended a five game losing streak by pitching five-hit ball to beat the Chicago White Sox, 4-3. Elden Auker stopped a nine game winning streak ?or the Boston Red Sox and a seven game losing streak for the St. Louis Browns by hurling a six hit 6-3 victory. The Cleveland Indians nosed out the Washington Senators, 5 4, in a night game. The Cincinnati Reds captured Eugene, June 18 CJ) With Oscar Miller pitching effective baseball in the pinches the Eugene Athletics scored their fifth consecutive victory in the Oregon State league last night, defeating Silverton, 4-2.
