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.

Pass And Craters Clash
Pepper Martin
Worry and
By Jim Hutcheson
Seattle, June 24 Pepper Martin, having shed his baby
teeth as a class AA league baseball manager, has learned to
quit worrying and his Sacramento ball club is up there on top
again.
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."

niHin inning error
By Al Wright Gives
Contest To Padres
(By the Associated Press)
A fumbled grounder set the
stage for a final effort by San
Diego to win last night's Coast
league baseball game with Port
land and the Padres cashed in
for a 8-5 victory.
The Beavers led by one run
going into the ninth and had two
men out when Al Wright, sec
ond baseman, fumbled a ground
er that would have ended the
inning and set the stage for the
next play.
With two men on base. John
Hill singled to drive in two runs
and win the game.
Portland took an early lead
and Ted Norbert, Beaver out
fielder, belted a homer in the
eighth to break a four-to-four
tie which the Padres earned in
the sixth.
Sam Gibson. 42-year-old Dit
cher for the San Francisco Seals,
is setting an example for Paci
fic Coast league hurlers this
season.
Gibson displayed his crafty
wares last night as he worked
over Oakland batters for a five
hitter that gave the Seals a 4 to
2 win and halted a four-game
losing streak.
At Los Angeles, the Angels.
showed off their league-leading
batting pace by cracking out
three home runs to defeat Holly
wood, 8 to 6. .
A postponement k e d t the
league-leading Sacramento Sol-
ons Idle at Seattle, but a double-
header is set for tonight to make
up for the unplayed game.

As Yanks Stop Browns
By Judson Bailer
Associated Press Sports Writer
The Brooklyn Dodgers have
erased virtually all question of
tneir retaining the National
league pennant, out they are
giving their fans something to
ponder in the way of batting
and most valuable player hon
ors. Pete Reiser and Joe Medwick
are away out in front of every
one else in the league In batting
ana it is generally conceded
that they are the two foremost
candidates for recognition this
year as the most valuable play
er In the league.
But the records would seem
to show that laughing Larry
French is Just about as valuable
as any other one man on the
Dodgers. He stepped into the
breach against last night In a
relief role to beat the Pittsburgh
Pirates 6-2 for his sixth triumph
without a defeat this year.
The New York Yankees came
out of their slump by nosing out
the St. Louis Browns 6-5 with
a 14-hlt barrage including three
safeties by Joe Gordon and a
like number by Joe Dl Maggio.
