PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JULY 5, 1942. Craters Take 6-5 Thriller From San Francisco Baseball Team SAME CLUBS PLAY EOF SERIES Dickinson Pitches, Bats Nan gano Drayage Into Defeat . Fawcett Hit Decides. The Med ford Craters captured stirring Fourth of July base ball battle from Nangano Dray age of San Francisco here yes terday afternoon, 8 to o, as Pvt. Joe Dickinson whiffed eight, scattered a dozen hits beautifully and drove half his teams' tallies across the plate with a double and a single In four trips. The same two teams play the second game of their series this afternoon at 2:30, with Steve Crippen slated to toil on the Crater mound and Walt HJort. a righthander, bearing the pitch' ing burden for the Califor nians. Nangano Drayage was an 11th hour substitution for the Owl Drug company nine, previously scheduled to come here for a two-tilt set. But, because new schedules of the Southern Pa cific and Greyhound Lines wouldn't have enabled the Owl Drug players to arrive back in San Francisco in time to go to work on their defense project jobs Monday, the Drayage club was substituted. And what a fight they put upl The California club was ahead once, the score was tied twice, and it was anybody's ball game until Don Fawcett, In the seventh Inning, shattered 5-all deadlock with a double to right field scoring Dwlght Cather wood with the deciding run. Catherwood had reached first on an error and advanced to second on Mai.ager Dutch Lleb er's blow to center. Hits Bunched Bud Beck, a stocky, half-pint righthander with a baffling underhand curve and fair hard one, yielded only eight hits, four less than Dickinson, but the Craters buiiched theirs at the right moments Especially did Dickinson come through with mates en the sacks. Pvt. Joe's first knock in the clutch came in the second In ning. After Walte, a new out fielder, reached first on a field ers' choice and went to second on an error, Johnny Citzen sin gled him home following Faw cett's hit batsman. DicMnson then scored Fawcett and Gltzen with a double to right-center. The visitors. In their half of the second, had taken a 2 to 0 lead on D. Ahcrn's looper Into left, F. Ahcm's sharp single to the same spot and a fielders' choice that saw Gitzen drop Ferranttl's fly but recover it In time to force Burke, who had forced F. Ahe-n .at second base. V. Ahern scored on the play and Manager Jim Smith tripled to right counting Ferrantti. The NanRanos came right back In the third for another run to tie It at 3-aIl. Beck dou bled to center and, after Flynn and Mullens singled to fill the bases, scored on an Infield out. Joe Singles The Craters went ahead, B to 3, in the fourth when Fawcett beat out a hit to third base, went to second on an error and scored on Gltien's healthy liner to center. Gltzen reached third when the centerflelder threw wild to the plate, and Dickinson singled to right for the run. ' Dickinson blanked the San Franciscans In the fourth, fifth and sixth, but In the seventh they tied the score at 8 to 5 on D. Ahern's Insldethe-park hom er behind Tlynn's single to left Aherns smash struck a rock in front of Catherwood. veered sharply to the right and rolled to the rlghtfield fence. The Craters then came back In their half of the seventh for the tlebreaklng tally, and Pvt. Joe hurled perfect ball in the eighth and ninth frames to clinch the victory. As usual, the big righthand er's control was remarkable. He didn't walk a man. In 39 In nings. Dickinson has Issued only one pass. The soldier's fast ball seemed to be faster than ever and his curve snapped off with abrupt suddenness. Flossy ritldlng The game was Jammed with great fielding plays, one of the WINDOWS and DOORS PADGHAM 1103 1301 Court St. best being Walte's barehanded stop of F. Ahern's drive down the left field line. Waite dashed almost to the line, cut off the ball and made a perfect throw to second base to hold Ahern to a single. Catherwood came up with a great running catch and Swaryck, at short, made a beau tiful stop of Mullens' drive to his right In the fifth Inning, al though he couldn't quite throw him out. Mullens, Nangano shortstop, handled six chances in spectac ular fashion. One of the year's largest crowds saw the game, and everybody was of the opinion the Nangano's were far stronger than the Bear Photos, whom the Craters whipped twice two weeks ago.

I ! ax ALL n r v Service Team T IS PROSPECT FOR 1! Citizens of Medford went with out their traditional Fourth of July fireworks yesterday, but for those who like their wres tling straight or mixed there'll be pyrotechnics aplenty in the armory Monday night. Certain to produce wild, half raising action is the one-hour main event, In which Sockeye Jack McDonald will attempt to even the score with Prince Se laki Mihalikis. Last week Mi halikis, in a savage fracas, whipped the tough ex-logger by virtue of throwing him out of the ring and causing the latter to injure his back on the edge of the platform. McDonald, one of the hardest losers in the industry, bitterly demanded a rematch and Mi halikis, who isn't afraid of any wrestler now doing business, granted the request with pleas ure. Mihalikis likes McDonald about as well as McDonald likes him, and is supremely confident he can make it two in a row over the big fellow. Sockeye doesn't subscribe to this theory Barefoot Bob Kruse, the Os wego broccoli king, will return to face Handsome Pedro Brazil, the South American heavy weight champion, In the six round middle event. Although Brazil, a big favorite here, will have a large weight advantage over Kruse, the latter will more or less offset that disadvantage by superior experience and foul tactics. Only the four-round opener, which will get under way at 8:30 sharp. Is earmarked for 100 per cent legitimate action. In this match Irish Jim Casey and Alberto Corral will exchange clean and scientific maneuvers, with Casey appearing to have the edge. ALASKA WAR ZONE Anehorace, Alaska, July 4 (.?( MaJ. Gen. Simon B.
