Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, JULY 13, 1942. Jack McDonald Faces Joe Corbett In Tonight's Main Mat Match EYE RETURN 10 OLD Bob Kruse And Prince In Semi-Windup Soldier Buccola And Olsen Open. Jack McDonald. "Sockeye" to hi grappling fan supporters, matches his elbow-punching and durability against tht 238-pound heft and tremendous strength of Australian Joe Corbett In the one-hour main event of tonight's Mack Llllard mat program in the armory. Supporting this top attraction Prince Selaki Mihalikls, stung by his setback at McDonald's hands last week, will attempt to regain winning form against Broccoli Bob Kruse in the six round middle event, and Cliff Olsen will go against Joe Buc cola, wrestling instructor at Hamilton field, in the four round opener slated to start at 8:30. McDonald, in pounding Ml halikis into submission last Mon day night, looked like the Mc Donald of old, the McDonald who went out there and simply punched and hammered until bis opponent slumped to the eanvas. The big fellow felt mighty happy after that victory over Mihalikls, and Intimated that from now on he would conduct his mat activity along the same lines. May Be Brawl - It Sockeye does follow those hammer-endtongs tactics against Corbett, fans will witness a real knock-down brawl. Corbett, al though he prefers to stay scien tific, is no slouch at the rough tuff, and can be expected to trade wallops with anybody who so desires, Including McDonald. McDonald has a special incen tive for wanting to beat Corbett. Right now he has the iristde track for the match with "The Angel," the grotesque French men who'll be here July 27, but if he loses to Corbett Mack Llllard may see fit to put Mi halikls or some other matman in against "The Angel." For this reason McDonald will leave no tone unturned In an attempt to take care of Corbett with as much dispatch as possible.

J FRENCH DEFEATS PIRATES, 2 TO 1 FOR TOTH IN ROW By Austin Beelmear Associated Press Sports Writer Lefty Larry French, leading pitcher of the major leagues and only undeefated hurler among all the regular starters, has turned out to be one of the biggest bargains since the Indi ans turned loose the Island of Manhattan. The Brooklyn Dodgers pick ed up French for the waiver price of $7,900 late last season and the 33-year-old left-hander hasn't been beaten since. He won his tenth game of the year yesterday, holding the Pittsburgh Pirates to three hits in pitching the Dodgers to a 2-1 decision in the first game of a doubleheader. The Dodgers lost the second game and watched their Nation al league lead shrink to eight lengths, but French reached the halfway mark In a season that promises to be his best in the majors. His best previous year was 1938, when he won 18 and lost nine for the Chicago Cubs. If French continues his pace, he may cost the Dodgers plenty by October, for he has a trick contract calling for a salary based on the number'of innings he pitches and the number of games he wins. The Pirates came from behind with a four-run rally in the eighth Inning to down the Dod gers, 8-4, in the second game. The St. Louis Cardinals drew one game closer to the leaders by whipping the Boston Braves, 3-1 and 0-3. In the American league, the first place New York Yankees also divided a double Din dui boosted their led to four and a half games with the help of the St. Louis Browns. While the Yankees were losing to the De troit Tigers, 6-4, and winning, 3-1 in 13 Innings, the Browns pinned a double defeat on the second place Boston Red Sox, 1-0, and 10-6. silverTonsTays IN BALL TOURNEY Sllverton.

At Medford 6, Klamath Falls S (Saturday). At Dorris 9-7, Grants Pass 11-3 (Sunday doubleheader). Al Wray's tremendous blow against the right centerf ield fence in tha last half of the ninth inning, scoring Jack Swar yck from second base, gave Medford a 4 to 3 victory over the Klamath Falls Pelicans here yesterday and sent the Craters soaring into first place in the sizzling Oregon-C alitornia league pennant race. The Craters' Sunday conquest followed an equally hair-raising win they turned in over the Pelicans Saturday night, by a count of 8 to5, and moved them Into the loop leadership by a full game over Ernie Bishop's Klamaths. Both Medford victor ies were created in thrilling last-of-the-ninth "outbursts. Yesterday's contest, witnessed by the largest crowd of the sea son, was a scorcher from start to finish. Manager Dutch Lieber went the route for the Craters and pitched one of his headiest games. He yielded 10 hits, two more than his opponent, Skinny Kenny Benham, but when the situation threatened to become dangerous Big Dutch had what it takes to extinguish the fire. Worthley Hot Tha score was deadlocked at 3-3 when the Craters uncorked their game-winning explosion In their half of the ninth. Lieber. first up, grounded out, but Swaryck drove a single between second and third and Norm Worthley, who had a grand day with two doubles and a single, rifled a one-baser Into left, send ing Swaryck to second. Wray then unraveled his second two bagger of the afternoon, a 360- foot drive that smacked against the fence in right-center, and Swaryck carried the victory and the league lead across the plate. Doubles by worthley and Wray in the first inning gave Medford a 1 to 0 lead, but Klamath tied it in the third when Larson singled with two gone, stole second and. scored on Manager Bishop's single to left. The Craters took a 2 to 1 bulge In the fourth on Camp bell's walk, an error, a base on balls to Walte and Manager Lieber's long fly to Paul Crapo In center, and added another for a 3 to 1 margin in the seventh on Lieber's walk, Swaryck's sacrifice and Worthley ' double to left-center. That was the way It stood when Klamath went to bat in the eighth, but In that frame the visitors picked up one and then tied the score in the ninth. Marshall Eyestone's single to right and Gross' triple that bounced over Wray's head in centerfield accounted for the eighth-inning tally, and Swar yck's error on Bonhnm's boun der, followed by Bishop's triple to right-center, gave the Peli cans their game-tieing counter in the ninth. At this point tha Craters executed a spectacular double play that might have saved the game. Hampton, up following Bishop, hit a grounder to John Oitzen at second. Bishop, on third, was trapped as Gitzen smartly ran across 'the diamond and chased him Into Worthley. who marie the tag. In the mean time Hampton had rounded first and second and Worthley, after tagging Bishop, rifled the ball to Swaryck on second and Hampton was caught. That play retired the side. In the eighth, after Klamath had scored once, Swaryck came up with a sensational gloved stab of Dixon's liner to his left This play saved a run. as Gross was on third following his three bagger. Lirber fanned only one Peli can, but the strikeout came at a most opportune moment. With the bases loaded, two gone and one run already across in tne third inning, the manager whif-! led Paul Crnpo on a fast ball i Again in the sixth. Lieber dis played his courage in the clutch. Singles by Hampton and Crapo, and an error by Campbell, load ed the bags with nobody out. Lieber, however, made Eyestone pop to Fawcett, Gross foul out to Swaryck on first and Dixon force Crapo at third. Benham, lanky, bespectacled hurler from Whitman college, did a fine Job for the Pelicans, although his six walks, didn't help his own cause. He fanned five. Lieber, on the other hand issued no bases on balls. His curve worked nicely and his fast ball was available when needed. Saturday night's 'clash was also a thriller-diller. Behind by a 8 to 3 count going into the ninth, the Pelicans tied It on Pinch-Hitter Benham's single to center, an Infield out, Manager Bishop's single to right and two errors. After Bishop singled Benham across, he stole second and went to third when Worth- ley's throw went through Swar yck, covering the bag. Then. when the ball skidded through Wray's legs In centerfield Bish op came all the way home with the tieing run. That set the stage for the Cra ters' last-of-the-ninth outburst, started by Worthley'i screech ing double to left. Wray scratch ed a single to short and, after Hoffard grounded out, Lieber was Intentionally passed to load the bases. Benham, who re lieved Virgil Haynes on the Klamath mound in the ninth, then cut loose with a wild pitch with Gitzen at bat, and Worth ley scored the winning run. -Dickinson Wins Pvt. Joe Dickinson gave up 10 hits and fanned seven in flinging the entire game for the Craters, while Haynes. in his eight innings, yielded the same number of blows and fanned the same number. . It was sad week-end for Benham, for he was charged with both Klamath losses, his first defeats of the season. : Box score of Sunday's game: Klamath Falls Larson, Bishop, lb Hampton, 3b Crape, cf Hatlleld.
