Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Say:: Worthley Stars In Two Contests Against Klamath Norm Worthley must be what the boys call real "money player," for In that week-end Klamath Falli lerlei, a series that taw the Craters twice pull out with heart-stopping one-run victories to take over the Oregon-California league leader ship, the rifle-armed catcher had himself a time, both at the hit ting dish and as regards defense. Tha luntnr hiah roach, who was shifted in mid-season from shortstop to the receiving post knn whA lnplHntjillv. has been practically terrific wearing the so-called "tools ol Ignorance, nrn una nf 4h nrincinal reasons why the Craters bopped their chiet rivals in ooin mis. In Saturday night's opener. Worthley whaled a triple and Hniihln In five trim. In Sunday's affair he belted two doubles and a single in five chances. This adds up to five blows in 10 tries cool. BOO average for the set and, the beauty of those three doubles, one triple and one single is tnai eacn ana every one of them figured In producing Anri hrother. runs were at a premium those two nip- ana-tuck Dau games. Worthley's first blow Satur day night, a triple, drove in Swaryck with the first tally of the game, and a moment later the triple scored on an outfield fly. His double in the same fracas, coming in the last of the ninth inning, put the winning run on base, for Worthley scored on a wild pitch after going to third on Wrays Infield blngle. His plat work was vn more effectlv In Sunday's contest. In th lliat l nln he doubled and scored onWiay'sdoubl for th first Medford run. In th seventh h gave tb Cret an a S to 1 lead by pasUnf his second double to scor LUbar. who had welked. Then. In th ninth, with th score tied at 3-3. h followed Bwaryck's singl with another that put th latter en second. In position to score th win ning tun on Wray's elout. Besides making life miserable for the Messra Virgil Haynes and Kenny Benham, Pelican pitchers, Worthley turned In a pair of beautiful defensive games Saturday night Hampton, who had singled .tried to steal sec ond, and Norm fired him out by three feet. In the same game n would havo cut down another base stealer Bishop in the ninth but Swaryck was slow In cover ing second and the ball went into centerfield. But, the best Worthley play of th series occurred In the ninth Inning of the Sunday clash when, after tagging out Bishop at the plate when th latter got trapped off third, he straighten ed up and shot the ball to Swaryck at second to catch Hampton off the base and com plete a double play that retired the side. Importance of this operation cant' be underestimat ed, for the score was tied at the time and one more Klamath run MIGHT hav given th Pelicans the contest. Yet. Worthley njoyd a swell series, and If he con tinues at his present pace local fans will forget all about Frankl Roelandt. For that matter, he has a better throw ing arm than Roelandt and Is probably as good a receiver. UniU the last series, however, he hadn't been hitting at Boelandt's last years .400 plus pace. Norm's five for 10 boosted his batting average from .303 to a lusty .349. biggest gain recorded by any of the Crater regulars.

Yankees GOMEZ PITCHES FOUR-HITBALL IN GOING ROUTE Nats Jolt Cleveland With 7-0 Blanking A's" Edge White Sox in 1 1 Frames. By Judsea Bailey (Associated Press Sports Writer) The American league has Just suffered another chill in the region of its pennant race. The New York Yankees beat down tha Detroit Tigers again yesterday 4-3 and the Washing. ton Senators surprisingly shut out the Cleveland Indians 7-0 in a night game. These result, coming as they did on tha heels of th Boston Red Sox' double somersault be fore the St Louis Browns Sun day, placed an emphatic damper on whatever rivals were rash enough to think the world cham pions were collapsing. All season long Detroit has been the most troublesome of the Yanks' opponents and the Tigers were tough to handle yesterday even though Lefty Gomez held them to four hits and fanned seven while going the route for th second time this year. Gomez pitched one-hit ball for six innings, but in th first frame he walked one batter, hit another, made a wild pitch and then walked two mora to fore in a run. In th seventh he gave three successive singles to load tha bases and then escaped with one run trickling across on a forceout and another on a fly. Seven Qames Behind Tha Cleveland Indians, who had won four straight and 11 of their last 14 (excluding a tie), meanwhile suffered a rude Jolt at the nation's capital and saw their third plnce distance from the leaders swell to seven games. Young Walter Masterson was the No. 1 boy for the Senators, holding Cleveland to three scat tered singles while his team mates pelted three pitchers for 10 hits. In the only other game, also a night session, the Philadelphia Athletics nosed out th Chicago Whit Sox 4-3 In 11 Innings. Phil Marchlldon allowed Chi cago Just eight hit and he started tha winning rally in the 11th with a singl after two wer out. Mike Kreevlch, who had hit his first homer of the year in th fifth, then waited out a base on balls from Johnny Humphries and Elmer Valo fol lowed with a run-scoring single. The only game scheduled In the National league, Philadel phia at Cincinnati, was post poned.
