The Med ford Craters captured

ball battle from Nangano Dray
age of San Francisco here yes
terday afternoon, 8 to o, as
Pvt. Joe Dickinson whiffed

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.

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.

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.
