SOLDIER HURLER
OF CRATERS GETS
Army Orders Cancels Plans
For Joe Dickinson Day-
Ceremony Last Night.
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.

FIRE LOSS LIGHT
A fire In the fuel bin at the
Southern Oregon Sugar Pine
company sawmill at Central
Point, apparently itarted by a
cinder from a smokestack, yes
terday morning did nominal
damage thanks to the quick ac
tion of the state forest patrol.
Two bumper trucks were dis
patched to the mill by the for
est patrol, and the blaze was
brought under control In about
30 minutes, It was announced by
Chauncey Florey, manager of
the sawmill. Slight damage was
done motors and machinery.
Another fire Friday noon de
stroyed a house and barn at Cas
cade Gorge in the Prospect vi
cinity, the fire also starting a
conflagration on a nearby 29

Brooklyn, Aug. 1 (JP) Pete
Reiser, batting on borrowed
time, smacked three-run hom
er in the eighth inning today
and the tallies were exactly
enough to give the Brooklyn
Dodgers a 9-8 decision over the
Chicago Cubs.
The Dodgers, whp were des
tined to win an argument soon
er or later, finally prevailed
upon an umpire to chance
decision .although it probably
couldn t happen any place ex
cept in Brooklyn.
With the Dodgers leading, 8 2
and two men on and two out,
Reiser cut at a 2-2 pitch which
he barely ticked. The ball pop
ped into the mitt of Catcher
Clyde McCullough and Umpire
Lee Ballanfant called the Na
tional league batting leader out
on strikes.
But the Dodgers claimed that
the ball struck the dirt before
McCullough caught It and Um
pire Babe Pinelli backed them
up In their protest. Ballanfant
reversed his decision and called
Reiser back to the plate.
Pistol Pete smashed Hiram
Blthorn's next pitch over the
fight field wall for three runs
that didn't look especially im
porttant at the time.
However, the Cubs went to
work on Curt Davis in the top
half of the ninth and drove him
to the showers, scoring four runs
on six of their 11 hits before Ed
Head put out the fire.
Davis gained credit for the
victory, his 11th of the season
compared with five defeats.

WH1RLAWAY LOSES
ON SLOPPY TRACK
TO IRISjLHORSE
Defeat Stuns Crowd-
Rounders Leads All The
Way At Arlington.
Chicago, Aug. 1 (JP) A gal
lant Irish-bred colt named
Rounders stunned a crowd of
30,000 by defeating Whirlaway,
turfdom's leading money win
ner, by three and a half lengths
in winning the 323,000 added
Arlington handicap today.
'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. Smith piloting
him, pulled in front immedi
ately after the start and lead all
the way.
Rounders ran the mile and a
quarter in 2:04.
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.

held by Edna Soltysiak of the
Olyneville Boys club auxiliary
of New York.
Miss Merki's two new state
marks were 1:09.1 in the 110
yard freestyle for girl under
16, a half -second better than the
record held by her teammate
Brenda Helser, and in the 440
yard women's freestyle which
she did in 5:32.4 to beat her own
mark of 5:35.
Suzanne Zimmerman of Mult
nomah club turned the 110-yard
women's backstroke in 1:17.5 for
