Medford stretched Its Oregon
California league lead to a full
game over the Klamath Falls
Pelicans here last night as Steve
Crippen marked up his fifth
loop victory against no defeats
In pitching and batting the
Craters to an 11 to 2 conquest
of the hapless Grants Pass Mer
chants, who now have dropped
10 consecutive contests.
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,

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.

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

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.

scored a clean-cut decision over

- knockdowns, and for the most

Rangel, battling gamely,
sought to exchange blow for

the tornado of punchea unloosed
by Armstrong, who once held
three boxing titles at the same

Armstrong weighed 14.5V4 to
