Marchy Schwartz Named Acting Stanford Grid Mentor Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Unknown Shatters Par ARABIAN, CRAIG Slicker of Film Fame Star Of Circus Sea Lion Troupe WY: rail Joe Dickinson's Pitching Ignites Crater Flag Hope Two things happened over the week-end to send soaring the hopes of Med ford diamond fans that the Craters are streaking down the road to an Oregon- California league pennant. One was the terrific hitting assault launched by the locals in their double conquest of San Francisco's Bear Photos by scores of 14 to 12 and 12 to 1 The other, and most Import ant, was the glittering pitching accomplishment of Pvt. Joe Dickinson of the U. S. army, a big righthander with plenty of what It takes. If Joseph hangs around all season, Mr. and Mrs. John Q Phan allow, Klamath Falls end Dorris might as well settle down to a fight for second place. We are inclined to the same opinion. Dickinson's three-hit trick in the Sunday game was a gaudy piece of work, especially in view of the fact that he elbowed four scoreless frames Saturday night to save the game for the Craters, yielding but one blow over that stretch. Couple those two games to gether and you get Dickinson pitching 13 consecutive Innings, allowing only four hits and one run, and that unearned. And. don't let anybody tell you the San Franciscans didn't have tome good hitters up there swinging. Besldss that three-quarter arm fast ball and curve that Joseph slams down from the hill, his control, thus far, has . been perfect. He went nine i. innings against Grants Pass last Wednesday night without yielding a walk, nor did he Issue a pais in his four-Inning Job Saturday and his nine inning operation Sunday. So, that adds up to 22 consecutive walkless innings for Mr. Dick- Joe's relief stint Saturday night was something to behold. Lefty Al Wlmcr started the sixth Inning and was so wild he walked the first three men to face him. With the bates loaded and none away Dickin son took over, got the first man out on a force at the plate, fanned Giraldl for the second out and made Lodlgianl pop to Worthley to retire the side. The score at the time was 13 to 12 for the Craters, so it can safely be said that Dickinson's hurling saved the thing. Joe, 29 years old, has been In organized baseball for five ' years. He started last season with Milwaukie In the Ameri can Association, where he won one and lost four before being sent to Madison in the Three Eye loop, where he captured four and dropped 10 for a seventh place club. His earned run average at Madison was 5.14. He fielded 1.000 In both leagues. Dickinson, whose home Is In Cedarvllle, N. J., broke Into pro fessional baseball In 1937 with Cornwall, Ont., of the Canadian American league, class C. In his first season he won 20 games and lost seven, and came right back the following year to notch 21 wins against nine: losses for the same team. These two great seasons earned him a chance with Thr Rivers In the class B Provincial whl. and there, in 1839, he captured 15 and lost seven. Continuing up ward he spent the 1940 cam paign with Milwaukie. win ning two and losing four while participating in 41 games in relief roles. Joe Is a plrasnnt, very quiet chap. He doesn't talk much unless you get him started on baseball, and then you realize how murh he loves the game Loves the game, did we say? Well, Joe wolktd clear out to the fairgrounds pnrk one prac tice afternoon to ak Manager Dutch Liebrr f"r a tryout.

APPLY MEDFORD CORPORATION TO JOIN SERVICE Exact Status of Schwartz Not Revealed Coach Shaughnessy-Schooled. Palo Alto, Calif., June 23 fPiStanford university had its third football coach within as many months today. Marchmont Schwartz, former Indian backfield coach, took over the Job which Jim Lawson held less than three months, but under the title of acting di rector of football. Graduate manager Al Masters disclosed that the board of ath letic control last night granted Lawson a temporary leave of absence to allow him to accept a navy commission and awarded the "acting" title to Schwartz. Lawson held the post through spring training. He took over in March when Clark Shaughnessy went to the University of Mary land. Masters declined to say whe ther Schwartz' appointment was designed as a stop-gap until a new coach was appointed or whether he was likely to re main "for the duration. The fact that Lawson was granted a "temporary leave of absence would seem to leave the Job open for him upon his discharge from the navy. Schwartz is a Shaughnessy- schooled man. He played foot ball at Loyola university when Shaughnessy coach varsity at the New Orleans school. He also coached backfield at the Uni versity of Chicago in 1934 when Shaughnessy was head man. and served under the T-forma-tion expert here for two years. The new Indian grid cniet is 33 years old and a graduate of Notre Dame. COLLEGE GOLFERS EYE WAR SERVICE South Bend, Ind., June S3. (P) The next stop for many college golfers after the Nation al Intercollegiate tournament ends will be in Uncle Sam's armed forces. A third of the 33 players com peting are seniors.

Marse Joe Unworrled Over Slump of World Champions By Jud-on Bailey Associated Press Sports Writer The New York Yankees are In the sharpest sort of a slump. They have lost six of their last eight games, five In a row last week-end, yet Manager Joseph McCarthy professes that he is not even annoyed. There Is no real rsason why . he should be. After losing all these games to first division clubs the world champions re main seven full games In front of the second place Boston Red Sox in the American league. "I'm not worried at all," Marse Joe told writers with the world champions yesterday "Our pitchers held up all right, didn't they? And you know those fellows can hit, don I you?" This is all too true. The Yankees' pitching has held up beautifully. In two of the games they lost the New York pitchers allowed only five hits; In two others they gave up only six safeties, but were beaten. The hitting has been notable for Its absence, but no one doubts that Joe Dl Muggio Charley Keller, Bill Dickey, Joe Gordon and the rest can hit and will hit. As an aftermath ot their recent batting streaks Gor don went hltless In four conse cutive games and Buddy Hassett dldn t connect in 23 timos at bat. It must be some consolation for the rest of the American league, though, to have Mc Carthy admit that the Yank ecs are Just like other clubs even If the standings don't show it. The Yanks finish off their western invasion this week with scries against the struggling St Louis Browns and Chicago White Sox while the Red Sox are running Into Detroit and Cleveland In succession. In the National league the Brooklyn Dodgers have a 7'1 game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals and will devote this week to repulsing the Pitts burgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds.

"Mam IN STIFF BATTLE New York, June 23 VP) The National League at last has produced a rivalry for the bat ting leadership to equal the hot scrap Joe Gordon and Bobby Doerr have been having in the American League for so many weeks. The only difference is that the struggle for honors in the sen ior circuit is between two mem bers of the same team Pete Reiser and Joe Medwick, of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Reiser at present is on top with an average of .356, six points above Medwick, but the latter managed to get in front for one day last week and may maneuver Into the lead again at any time. Both have been slugging at a fast clip and have shown their ability to maintain a sustained pace. Medwick won the league bat ting title in 1937 and Reiser, of course, captured the crown last year as a rookie. Gordon and Doerr both slip ped last week, but held their re spective positions in the Amer ican League race with the Yan kee star on top at .367 and Doerr second at .351. No others could get close to the leaders in either league. Scores Yesterday By The Associated Pms Exhibition games: Salem W1L) 6 Portland (PCD 5. Sacramento PCD 8 Tacoma iWIL) 1.

IN TRIPLE DUTY Camp White's George Craig and Prince Selakl Mihalikls grappled to a guelling one-hour draw in the mam event of last night's armory mat program. but the feature of the card was the "iron man" performance of Sockeye Jack McDonald, who did everything but sell peanuts in the crowd. Cliff Olsen, slated to - face Alberto Corral in the opening event, didn't show up, but while they were waiting for him Mc Donald and Chief Thunderbird, scheduled for the semi-windup, opened the doings with a brutal affair captured by McDonald, two falls to one. Then, when Olsen still hadn't made his appearance, McDonald offered to take on Corral in a 30-mlnute or one-fall match Still groggy after his terrific struggle with the big Indian, Sockeye dropped this one to Corral when the latter employed sonnenberg's and a press after 14 minutes of tough stuff. To climax his evening's actlvl t.es, McDonald then climbed in--o Earl Yoakley's white pants and shirt and refereed the Mi-hallkis-Craig main event, which proved more of a workout than either of his own matches. Twice, in this top attraction, McDonald was forced to take a definite hand in the proceed ings, unce, alter Mihalikls had flattened Craig with a right hand wallop, McDonald punched the prince on the chin. Again, after the thing was over and Mihalikls was storming around slugging everybody in sight. Mcuonald took command to the extent of knocking the Arabian halfway through the ropes. All in ail McDonald had himself quite a tea party. The main event was one of the most bitterly-fought yet seen nere, a real "grudge" match. Although Craig had Mihalikls In hot water almost continuously during the early stages, the prince grabbed the first fall at the 45-mlnute mark with a Bos ton crab. Prior to this Craig had scored with a headlock that he kept clamped on for about 20 minutes. Nine minutes later the can tonment blacksmith got his equalizing tumble, using a series of anvil flips and a press to do the work. In the remaining six minutes neither grappler. de spite their most desperate ef forts, could break the deadlock. McDonald kept the boys fair ly clean, although the prince gave him a bad time of it. Mi halikis cried and moaned be cause he couldn't get away with much soiled stuff, and when he did manage to sneak in a punch or two Craig came right back with the same. McDonald's tussle with Thunderbird was Just as vicious. If not more so. The big Indian got his fall 10 seconds after the first round bell, rushing from his corner and rabbit-punching McDonald to the floor. McDonald, at the second- IT'S No job for ftocfftt-jolng after pictures with the stress and strain this one portrays.

Performing on the back of cantering ponies what ordinary termed seals are content to achiece on solid ground, Win ston's Equestrian Sea Lions lay undisputed claim to that fre quently over-worked term, worlds only." This unique trained animal exhibition holds center-ring billing with Russell Bros.' Great 3-Ring Circus which is to ap pear at Medford Monday, June 29, back of the Jackson school. Slicker, the ringmaster of the troupe, is termed by his trainer, Ii. W. Winston, as the smartest seal ever to gulp a fish. In fact, he's so smart Winston can round gong, gave Thunderbird some of his own medicine by streaking across the canvas, belting him on the Jaw and put ting him down with a aeries of hip locks for the fall. In the third round both grar piers simply slugged it out, with McDonald finally landing the payoff er and falling on the prone Indian. BEAVERS, 6 TO 5 Portland, June 23 P) The Salem Senators of the class B Western International league long a burr in the hide of the Pacific Coast league Portland Beavers, defeated the Coast leaguers again last night, 6-5, in an exhibition. Francis Dierickx, right-hand er who appears to have the num ber of the Coast leaguers repre senting this city repeated his two victories of last year, keep ing 10 hits well scattered. He had the game safely on his hip until the Beavers scored two runs in the eighth and momen tarily threatened.

Winston bought him from the fisherman who hauled him out of the ocean with a catch of halibut. And it wasn't long before he stood out in the Winston herd like a wart on a debutante's nose. Slicker is rated as a topflight actor by Henry Hathaway, the film director. Slicker has played In a number of picture, "Spawn of the North" and "Fisherman's Wharf" among them. Hathaway calls him "One Shot" Slicker be cause he never muffs a part and the camera only has to roll once for a perfect performance.
