Billy Hulen Says:
"Dickinson Day"
Slated Sunday;
General on Hand
Pvt. Joseph Dickinson of
Cedarville, N. J., the gentleman
who is currently pitching and
batting the Medford Craters to
what is expected to become an
Oregon - California league pea
nant three weeks hence, if not
sooner, is going to be honored
with a "day next Sunday after
noon at the fairgrounds ball
yard. As an expression of their gra
titude to the big righthander for
the herculean work he has
been doing In the buttle down
the home stretch, the board of
directors of the Medford Ath
letic association has designated
next Sunday, when the Craters
clash with the Dorris (Cal.)
Lumberjacks In the second
game of their two-game series,
as "Joe Dickinson uay.
And, as a feature of the
"day," Major General Charles
H. Gerhardt. commander of
the 91st infantry division at
Cantp White, will present to
Joe a gift from the Medford
Athletic association. A major
general, himself a great base-,
.ball player and all-around
athlete while at West Point,
will stand beside another
grand ball player, a private,
and place in his hands a token
of the esteem in which he Is
held by the "front office."
Local fans and fannettes, who
have watched Joe mow down
enemy hitters, knock in run af
ter run for his own team, field
his position In flawless style and
contribute that pitching strength
the Craters needed to forge into
a -full two-game lead over the
Klamath Falls Pelicans, will
also have the opportunity of
making their contribution to the
quiet, likeable . "ball player's
ball player."
A box will be placed at the
entrance to the grandstand and
U. S. legal tender placed there
will be collected and the "purse"
handed over to Joe, probably
along about the seventh inning.
And friends, that box oughta be
tilled to overflowing.
While It Is sometimes bad for
team morale to single out a cer
tain player and accord him
most of the credit for a club's
success especially in semi-pro
ball where the performers work
on a gratia basis we don't think
any of the Craters will begrudge
Joe the plaudits we are giving
him.
Joe Joined the Craters when
the pitching situation was be
coming very bleak. Manager
Dutch Lleber's arm had Just
gone sour on him. Lefty Al
Wimer was having trouble
with his control and only
Steve Crlppen, released last
week-end to Grants Pass, was
available for regular duty.
Joe stepped in, with the
Craters and Klamath tied for
the lead, and since then has
won five and lost one. Now,
lmtead of the locals and Pell
cans being tied, the Medfords
are two games out front with
only six to play a big, beau
tiful lead.
Not alone has Joe done yeo
man's work on the mound. He
is hitting a terrific .481, tops for
all Crater batsmen, and plenty
of those blows have chased run
ners across the plate.
Especially appropriate is the
designation of next Sunday as
"Joe Dickinson Day," for at that
time the Craters will play the
team that Joe, on July 18 and
19. defeated twice is as many
days. That week-end Is the
hightllglit of Jie's career with
the Craters. He whipped the
'Jacks, 10 to 4 in a twilight
game Saturday, then came right
back the next afternoon to fling
eight frames and receive credit
for the 17 to 9 Medford victory.
In civilian life Joe is a profes
sional baseball player, the prop
erty of the Chicago Cubs. The
28-year-old soldier spent last
season with Milwaukle In the
American association and Madi
son in the Three-Eye league.
When the war is over Joe plans
to take up where he left off.
working at the Job he loves,
the Job of playing baseball, but
right now he is engaged In a
greater task. The task of whip
ping the axis.
The baseball he pitches for
the Craters represents his re
crestion while in the army.
And brother, this town is
lucky that Joe happens to be
stationed here. "Joe Dickin
son Day" will alford every
body the opportunity of shew
ing Joe Just how glad we are
that he is on duty In Medford.
Dickinson, with three hits In
fcur trips against Grants Pass
Saturday night, raised his bat
ting average from .433 to .481
to take over the Individual
Crater clubbing lead. The aver

Byron Nelson Crushes Clayton Heafner

IN PLAYOFF DUEL
Heafner, Shooting 71, Leads
Only Once Eagle on
Fifth Turning Point.
By GAYLE TALBOT
Chicago, July 28 (JP) Byron
Nelson, one of the greatest of
modern linksmen waa home
ward bound today with $2,300
In his hip pocket, once again
having demonstrated that when
the big money Is on the line he
virtually Is unbeatable.
The demonstration came as
the grand finale to that golfing
circus known as the Tarn O'
Shanter $13,000 open tourna
ment. Yesterday Nelson crushed big
Clayton Heafner of Durham, N.
C, by four atrokei in their 18-
hole playoff for the champion
ship of the dizziest of all golf
events. The pair had tied at the
end of the regular 72 boles,
with totals of 280.
Atones for Collapse
Ai though to atone for his
unaccountable lapse of the prev
ious day, when he soared to an
inglorious 77 on the fourth
round, the ex-Texan took Tarn
O'Shanter'i soggy acres apart
with a 87 five under par to
send Heafner down for the
count.
Not that Heafner weakned.
The big fellow stayed in there
gamely all the way to score his
71.
Aside from his one terrible
round. Nelson shot these scores
at Tarn O'Shanter: 87-71-3-7
270.
Yesterday Nelson was out In
33, back in 34. He was down to
Heafner only once during the
play-off Two up at the turn,
he was converting it into rout
toward the close.
Probably the mat wss de
cided as early as the fifth hole
where Nelson, already 1-up,
blasted Into the hole from
about 33 feet for an eagle two
to beat Heafners birdie three.
After that experience Heafner
must have realized it was no
use.

club at the club outdoor range

twenty shots at 100 yards, with
metallic sights.
The two Waddell's were tops
on the civilian team, living up
to their Camp Perry traditions,

30 cal. shots, Richmond and
Tuttle, finished In last place.
Major Merrill of the 383d in
fantry placed at the top of the
service men with Sergeant Crow
ley of -the 381st Infantry, in
second place. The army men
were firing under a handicap
by reason of using the civilian

hope that other matches may be
arranged In the future.

TO "THE ANGEL"
IN 15 MUTES
Sockeye Jack McDonald
knows now what It's like to
grapple a mountain of granite.
For IS minutes he tugged and
heaved and threw his 213
pounds against the hulking
frame of Maurice "The Angel"
Tillet in the main event of last
nights armory mat program,
and when it was all over the
net result was: McDonald, no
falls; "The Angel," two falls.
Sockeye, himself quite a man.
couldn't do a thing with the
273-pound Tillet, who certainly
lived up to his reputation as be
ing "the world's ugliest wrest
ler," and one of the toughest.
Not on'y did McDonald fail
to budge Tillet with his Sunday
de luxe shots, but he actually
knocked himself goofy trying to
sonnenburg the French mon
strosity to the canvas.
This incredible operation oc
curred after the pair had
traded clouts and arm holds for
15 minutes, with the overflow
crowd roaring futile encourage
ment to McDonald. Sockeye
fired a dropkick to The An
gel's" button, and wound up
on the seat of his own pants.
Changing his tactics, McDon
ald then rebounded off the
ropes and sent himself crashing
head-on Into the bulging stom
ach of Mr. Tillet. A moment
later Sockeye was clawing at
the canvas, having, for a mo
ment, no Interest in the pro
ceedings. He had knocked him
self plumb goofy on that cast-
iron "Anger torso.
This was the signal for Tillet
to create his first fall. He
waited until McDonald had
climbed shakily to his feet, then
grabbed him in his famous bear
hug and powered him to the
mat for a press and fall.
Still shaken to the soles of
his feet, McDonald dropped the
next tumble three minutes after
the gong. Somehow he managed
to hoist "The Angel" to his
shoulders for what, apparently,
was to be a body slam, but it
was too great an effort. Slowly
Sockeye's leg gave way under
him, down he went with Tillet
in the saddle, and that was all
there was to it. Tillet merely
lay on top of the weary Mc
Donald while Referee Earl
Yoakley tolled off the count.
Tillet wasn't very active, but
he didnt' have to be. He waddled
around the ring taking every
thing Sockeye tossed his way.
and occaMonaly throwing short
Jolts at McDonald s chin that
rocked the latter back on his
heels. He was simply too pow
erful and too rugged for his
lighter opponent.
Joe Corbett defeated Pete
Belcastro In the middle event
when Pete, with the falls stand
ing one each, didn't wait for
the fifth-round bell to start his
rough stuff. He rushed fiom his
corner and proceeded to work
Corbett over, with the result
that Joe wai awarded the fall
and match "n a foul.
Corbett employed a press to
take the first fall in the third
found, and Belcastro used
punches and a press to even the
score in the fifth.
Irish Jim Casey took the
lone fall of his match with
Pedro Brazil, using a reverse
Japanese scissors and press in
the fourth and final round to
gain the tumhle.
Promoter Mack Llllard an
nounced there would be no more
matches here for the next two
or three weeks.
