The Medford Crater and the Don-Is. (Cal.) Lumberjack! clash at 2:30 this afternoon at the fair grounds park in the second game of their two-game Oregon-Cali fornia league aeries, but It won't be "Joe Dickinson Day" as or iginally planned. . It won't be "Joe Dickinson Day" because the army, yester day morning ordered the platoon of the 44th division, which has been on guard duty at the muni cipal airport, transferred to an other post, to leave here at 8 a. m. today. Pvt. Joe Dickinson was attached to this platoon. So, Pvt. Joe Dickinson is no longer a member of the Craters. He has gone with his platoon to some undesignated point and his "day," of course, was of neces sity cancelled. There was noth ing anybody could do about the matter. Major General Charles H. Gerhardt, commander of the Blst division at Camp White, even requested that the depar ture time of Joe a platoon be de layed to enable Joe to pitch against Dorr is today, and be on hand for hia "day." But it was all to no avail. The platoon was ordered to move this morning, and it moved, as no doubt it should in time of war In order to make the best of a disheartening but unavoidable situation. Jo was given his "day" last night. In the seventh inning E. C. (Jerry) Jerome, substituting for . General Ger hardt. who was originally scheduled to participate in the Sunday ceremonies but was un able to do so last night, pre sented to Pvt. Dickinson a hand some gift from the Medford Ath letic Association. The gift was a gold-plated wrlstwatch bracelet, with the army crest on top and this engraving on the back: "Joe Dickinson From The Medford Athletic Association." When Joe learned of the "marching" orders of his plat oon, he asked Manager Dutch Lieber to let him pitch last night's game, and the skipper readily agreed. So, today It will be Jim Snyder, the ex-Dorrls southpaw now with the Craters, firing against his old teammates, with Norm Worthley back of the plate, Lieber on first, Gitzen on second, Swaryck on short, Fawcett on third, Waite In left, Wray in center and Hoffard In right. For the Lumberjacks Clyde Carlstro mwas expected to do the hurling with Bart Goldbar wearing the mask and protect or. In other league action. Klam aUi Falls, up to last night two games back of the Craters In the pennant race, entertains the cel larlte Grants Pass Merchants in the second game of their two game aet.

Davis gained credit for the victory, his 11th of the season compared with five defeats. Chicago 8 11 1 Brooklyn 9 14 1 Schmltz, Fleming (2), Bithorn (7) and McCullough; Davis, Head (9) and Owen.

'The sloppy condition of the track and the top-weighted im post of 130 pounds were contrib uting factors In the crushing defeat of Whlrly who won the 1941 Kentucky Derby. Round ers carried only 103 pounds. The imported Rounders, own ed by Emersan F- Woodward, wealthy Texas oil ooerator. with Jockey F. A.

Staretor, second to Whirlaway In the Kentucky Derby a year ago, was third, eight lengths further back. Pumogun was fourth and Sirocco last. The soggy track all but ruined the race. Four were scratched from the original field of nine. They were L. B. Mayer's Read ing, 2nd, Darby Dan farm's best seller. Hal Price Headley's Equitable and B. B. Robinson's No Competition. In the judgment of the bet tors, Whirlaway was regarded as a positive cinch to pick up a check of $ 22.000 as the win ner's share of the purse and wrap it around his already fab ulous bank roll of $443,336. In stead, Whirly collected $4,000 as second money. ST. PAULTOURNEY St. Paul, Minn.. Aug. 1 (JP) Stroking consistent subpar golf.
