Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1942. Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Craters To Try "Ladies' Night" For Attendance We don't know what the reas on Is, whether its the rubber situation, the weather, a lack of interest in everything but the war, or a combination, of those three things, but the fact re mains that the 1942 Craters aren't drawing the crowds you would expect in a "boom" town such as Medford is at the pres ent time. The Bear Photo series last week-end, which should have packed the grandstand both games, pulled only several hun dred spectators per tussle. This was Just a fair showing, but much better than the previous games played here, most ot which were staged before throngs not any larger than those of last season, the poorest from an attendance standpoint of any in the past four or five years. In an effort to stimulate -more interest in the club and . baseball in general, the Med ford Athletic Association will try a "ladies' night" deal fox the Oregon-California loop game with Grants Pass thin evening. Patterned after Wrestling Promoter Mack Lll lard's occasional "ladies' nights" mat programs, every feminine fan accompanied by a paying customer, either male or female, will be admitted free. We owe Dwlght Catherwood n apology. In figuring batting averages last week, we listed the Crater left fielder as having hit 14 times in 44 trips to the plate for an average of .318, Rechecklng the box scores of all Oregon-California loop games It was discovered that Cather wood is hitting at a hefty .373 dip, on IS blows in 40 tries.. So, to keep the record clear, we hereby Increase Dwight's plate figure 57 points, which puts him in a tie with Al Wray Lightner for fourth place In the Individual Crater batting race. Baseball men have claimed, time and again, that the Pacific Coast league doesn't produce a double-A brand of ball, but a glance at the various leaders In the major leagues discloses ex PCL players are doing all right for themselves. In the National league Dolph Camllll, former Sacramento first baseman now with Brook lyn, is in second place in the home run race, having clouted 10 round-trippers. Larry French, ex-Portland southpaw, Is lead Ing the loop with six wins and no los. The American league shows even more clearly that beys out of the Coast circuit are Just about tops in the former wheel. Joe Cordon. ex-Oakland. Is leading the league in batting, with Bobby Doerr, ex-San Diego. In second place. Ted Williams, ex-San Diego, has scored the most runs, and Dom Di Maggio. ex-Seals, Is second. Williams is also lead ing the league In home runs. rht Fftldtnt soys we iheuld folre VACATIONS!

It's no novelty for the Pepper box's team to lead the Pacific Coast league. It had a 19-game margin over the field in mid- season last year, the first for the former St. Louis Cardinal star as manager. Then, long before the year of the big rubber short age, the Sacs lost their bounce. They collapsed in the stretch to finish behind Seattle. "I worried all the time last year," drawled the one-time wild hoss of the Osage, on his first 1942 appearance in the town that beat him out ot the 1041 pennant. "Even when my team was on top, I'll bet I worried more than the rest of the man agers together. "But this year it's different. We got off to a terrible start. We couldn't hit and we were do ing everything wrong. But while we were way down there in the standings (and Sacramento scraped the bottom) I never worried. I knew we had a good ball club, a good fighting club, and now it's beginning to show." "By the end of the season. ha predicted, "I think this year's team will have the best batting average. The pitching s also good this year, but it was good last year, even when the team hit its slump."
