It was Medford's seventh straight league victory and ninth in a row counting the two Bear Photo games, and placed the Craters in an enviable posi tion for their crucial two-game aeries against Klamath Falls at Klamath Falls Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. Crippen turned up with one of his best mound jobs, holding the Merchants to three blows, fanning eight and allowing nary an earned run. And Just to make certain of registering No. 8 win of the season he person ally whaled four runs across the plate with triple and two singles In five trips. Runs Unearned The red-head held Grants Pass hitless for five frames, al though the visitors picked up a run in the second on George Gitzen's walk, steal of second, an infield out and Crippen's wild pitch. Their other run was also unearned, coming in the ninth when Clark walked, stole second and third and tallied on Johnny Gitzen's error on Lath rop's grounder. The Merchants threatened to score on two other occasions, but fast double plays squelched the fires. Singlet by Paul (Hoosler) Hoffard and Laubach in the fifth out men on first and third, but Norm Worth ley nabbed G. Gitzen's smash and turned It Into a twin killing to Lieber via J. Gitzen. In the seventh, with the bases loaded by virtue of walks to Clayton and Hoffard and Laubach's double, Don Fawcett grabbed G. Gitzen's sizzler, tagged third and rifled the pellet to first for a two-ply slaughter. Bob Gehring, big righthander, started on the mound for the Merchants and gave seven hits and seven runs in six Innings. Southpaw Rusty Martindale fin ished the game and yielded four runs on six blows. The Craters got four runs In the third inning without bene fit of a hit. Three walks, a hit batsman, two errors by Short' stop Clark and ona by G. Gitzen were responsible. In the fifth the locals really went to work on Gehring Catherwood doubled to left and Lieber doubled to right. Mad den walked, and after J. Gitzen forced Lieber at third Crippen hit a two-run single to left to make the score 7 to 1. Lefty Hit Hard Martindale, who took over In the seventh, was immediately bounced for two more Crater tallies. Madden singled to left, raja SMART and COOL!

CENTRAL Gitzen went clear to second when Clayton booted his sacri fice bunt and Crippen drove them home with another single to left. The Craters picked up their last two runs In the eighth on Lieber's single, Gitzen's single and Swanson s blow to right. Crippen was master of the situation at all times and one of the three hits he allowed was of the scratchiest variety. It was a pop fly to the Infield that Swanson, Crippen and Fawcett let fall safely. At that, the Mer chants should have had another blow when Gehring smashed one to the left field boards and pulled up at third, but the pitcher failed to touch first. Al Wray Lightner celebrated his 23rd birthday with a single and double in four trips and a great running catch of John son's fly to short right-center in the eighth. The Crater center- fielder received a nice birthday present, too, a $3 bill for hitting tne r lynn electric sign in left. Box score: O RANTS PASS AB R R PO A Clayton. IB 2 0 0 S 1 Johnson.

Those two hardy perennials. Claude Passeau and William (Lucky Bucky) Walters, arc bid ding strongly for the pitching leadership of the National league again. Passeau pitched a four-hitter for the Chicago Cubs to beat the Philadelphia Phils, 3-1, and at tain his 11th victory, the most games any pitcher in the major leagues has won. Walters, like Passeau, hasn't had much help from his team mates, with Cincinnati ranking last in the league in both batting and fielding, yet last night he scored his eigMh success against five setbacks by holding the New York Giants to six hits over 10 innings to lead the Reds to a 4-3 decision in a twilight tussle. The Reds' triumph coincided with a double defeat for the St. Louis Cardinals to close the gap between second and third place to a single game. The Redbirds were beaten 8-2 and 3-1 at Boston by the Braves yesterday as Jim Tobin and rookie Willard Donovan turned in two nice pitching jobs. In the American league the New York Yankees captured their second straight decision over the St. Louis Browns. 6-4. with Joe DiMaggio, Charley Keller and Tom Henrlch each getting two hits. Broadway Charley Wagner came up with his second 1-0 victory in a row as the Boston Red Sox stopped the Detroit Tigers on his three-hit hurling. Lefty Al Milnar organized a five-hit 9-0 shutout of the Phil adelphia Athletics for the Cleve- i land Indians. John Humphries shut out the Washington Senators, 6-0, for' the Chicago White Sox. i Favorites Fall As Field Sliced To 16 In College Tourney By Charles Chamberlain South Bend, Ind., June 25 UP) Picking the next national intercollegiate golf champion is like playing the old blindfolded game of pinning on the donkey's tail. The field was cut from 64 to 16 players yesterday and many of the favorites fell. Earl Stew art of Louisiana state, the de fending champ, was virtually the only favorite left for today's 36-hole match play, which will shave the list to four semi-finalists. Players to watch were such outsiders as Jim Teale of Minne sota, who shot an unofficial 67 in crushing the chances of Dick Haskell, the northwestern ex caddy who qualified with a 142: Dale Mores, of L. S. U., who fired three birdies In a row to win his match; John Staltz and stylist Manuel de la Torre of Northwestern, and Midshipman David Paul of the U. S. naval acadamey. Eleven schools were repre sented today with L. S. U., Yale. Northwestern, Stanford and Washington having two men in the running. Two of the day's best third rounc' matches ap peared to be between Stewart and John Holmstrom of Illinois, the outgoing president of the in tercollegiate golf association; Ray Brownell of Stanford, last year's runner-up, and Harold GJolme of Washington.
