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.

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
