Lumberjacks, 15 to 12, here yesterday In fan tastic exhibition that produced about everything in the book, in cluding a Crater lineup-shift that put Manager Dutch Lieber back of the plate and Norm Worthley, regular catcher, on the pitching mound. Meanwhile, the Klamath Falls Pelicans downed the Grants Pass Merchants twice in a double header at Klamath Falls to stay two tilts back of the Craters, with only four to play. Worthley was the third Med ford flinger to see action, and he received credit for the vic tory. Jim Snyder, the former Crrls southpaw, lasted only two-plus innings against his for mer teammates, Lieber being forced to take over in the third inning with two on and none away. The boss, still unable to cut loose, staggered through the fifth, but In the sixth he went behind the plate -nd Worthley transferred to the mound to fin Ish out the weird contest. Uphill Fight The Craters had .3 come from far behind to win and for a time It looked like they couldn't do it. The 'Jacks lumped Into a 3 to 0 lead In the first "rame. and after the locals got a pair in the second the visitors came back to score four more In the third for a 7 to 2 bulge. Sny der, In this Inning, walked two, committed two wild pitches and balked once, at which point Lie ber took up the flinging chores. A squeeze play tallied one run ner, Lieber walked Shlpman and Crenshaw's double scored Ship man before he retired the side. Dorris got another run in the fifth to Increase its lead to 8 to 2, but in the Crater half seven straight hits drove Bill Cecil to cover, created seven runs for a 8 to 8 Crater lead and forced Bart Goldbar to come to Cecil's rescue. Goldbar finished the game and was charged with the defeat. With one gone, Fawcett open ed the big fifth with an Infield single. Worthley doubled and Wray, Lieber, Waite and Gltzen smacked consecutive singles. When Swanson dropped a double into left center for two r ":s. that was the signal for Goldbar to assume the mound Job, and he retired the side without fu.--ther damage. Lead Changes Worthley, stting the sixth Inning, was promptly rocked for four blows and three runs to put Dorris back In the lead, 11 to 9, but the Craters bounceC. back In their half for three and a 12 to 1 1 margin. A walk to Worthley, singles by Lieber, Waite and Swanson, an error and a balk accounted for the tallies. Just to make certain of the victory, the locals punched three more across In the seventh to go ahead, 15 to 11. Snyder's single. Fawcetts sacrifice and singles by Wray, Lieber and Waite did the Job. Dorris got its final run in the eighth. Lieber got four blows, lnclud l g a double, for the Craters, and Swanson hit a double and two singles to drive in four runs, In cluding those that put the Cra ters ahead in the fifth and sixth innings. Goldbar hit two triples for the 'Jacks. Clyde Carlstrom, who was scheduled to pitch for Dorris, was involved in an accident Sat urday night, Injuring his wrist, and Bill Cecil, who lost to the Craters Saturday night, 8 to 3, was forced to attempt an "iron man" stunt and pitch Sunday, also. 130.15 for Jos It was announced that $30 65 was collected from the fans for Pvt. Joe Dickinson, who notched his sixth win against one defeat Saturday night before leaving here with his platoon for an un announced station. The money will be mailed him as soon as his address is learned. Grants Pass comes here next week-end for games Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.

Acorns Nip Beavers Twice, 7-3 and 3-1; Angels Capture Pair By The Associated Press The Los Angeles Angels, who climbed to top place in the Pa- cine coast league race nearly three weeks ago, increased their advantage over their nearest con tenders by trouncing Seattle in all three of their weekend games. The Angels' victories In the single game Saturday and in Sunday s doubloheader left them four full games ahead of the second-place Sacramento club, which won two of its four weekend games. San Francisco won both of Its Sunday games with Sacramento, to 1 and 9 to 0. Portland's decp-divlng Beav ers plumbed the league depths still further, losing two more to Oakland the fifth and sixth games in a row 7 to 3 and 3 to 1. Hope for at least one victory looked fair for the Beavers in the opening game. They had the count tied at 2 until the eighth when the Oaks connected for five hits and five runs off Ad Llska. Two of the runs, however. were scored on a wild throw by Marvin Owen, third baseman. In the second game Manuel Salveson held the Beavers to seven hits, two of them home runs, one by Ted Norbett, the other by Owen. There were none on base either time. The second game was a vic tory for Norbert Kleinke in his first start with Oakland since he arrived last Friday from Memphis in the Southern Association. There are no regular games today but a North-South all-star game will be played at Holly wood today. Score: Portland ...3 7 1 Oakland 7 11 1 Liska and Leovich; Salveson and Glenn.

By Austin Bealmaar Associated Press Sports Writer. The Brooklyn Dodgers, who might not be so far along with their work had they met the New York Giants more often tangle with their hecklers from Harlem this evening in a contest that has generated more excite ment in Gotham than any base ball battle since the last world series. Army relief will be the principal beneficiary. With everybody who goes through the gates buying ticket and many others purchas ing ducats without going to the game, officials won't be satisfied with anything less than $100 000. The extra special attraction will be Van Llngle Mungo, new addition to the Giants' pitching staff, hurling against the Dodg ers, whose uniform he wore when he was the terror of the majors not so many years ago. A quirk in the schedule has kept the two teams apart since Memorial day. In 11 outings this season, the Dodgers won six and the Giants five. Whitlow Wyatt will be Brooklyn's starting pitcher for this evening's Joust, which opens a four-game series. The Giants helped the Dodg ers preserve their nine-game lead yesterday by slitting a doubleheader with the second- place St. Louis Cardinals, which is all the Dodgers could do with the Chicago Cubs. "Bums" Split" It took the Dodgers ten In- n'ngs to tura back the Cubs, 5-4, in the first gone. In the second game, Claude Passeau pitched the Cubs to a 7-8 triumph. Carl Hubbell pitched the Giants to a 7-1 decision over the Cardinals. Then Mort Cooper tossed a four-hitter at the Giants and the Cards won, 3-2. The Cincinnati Reds clung to their one-game third-place mar gin over the Giants by splitting with the Be .ton Braves. Al Jav- ery blanked the Reds 7-0 on five hits in the Virst game, but Cin cinnati took the second, 4-2. The Pittsburgh Pirates dump ed the Philadelphia Phils, 4-2, and 3-2, and hopped over the Cubs into fifth place. In the American league, the New York Yar.kees downed the St. Louis Browns twice. A two run homer by Tommy Henrich led the Yanks to a 4-2 victory over St. Louis In the opener and Ernie Bonham blanked the Browns, 10-0, in the nightcap. although he yielded ten hits. The Indians nosed out the Philadelphia Athletics, 4 3 and 4-2. The Detroit Tigers knocked the Boston R 1 Sox into third place by four percentage points, taking the first game, 8-4, as Paul (Dizzy) Trout pitched seven hi. ball and contributed a three run homer. The Tigers annexed the second, 6-2. 1 Washington's scheduled double header at Chicago was postponed. Harbert and Harrison Duel Today in St. Paul Playoff By Charles Chamberlain St. Paul, Aug. 3 VP) Two of golf's "H" boys, Chick Harbert and Dutch Harrison, climb around the rugged Keller public links in an 18-hole playoff for the St. Paul open golf champion ship today and the $1,000 that goes with first place. They fin ished all square Sunday with 280 strokes each eight under par at the end of the regulation 72 holes. Probably more important to i them than the coin is the title which will advance the fortun ate winner farther up the ladder to fame. Both, Harbert of Battle Creek, Mich., and Harrison, the Arkan sas Traveler working out of Harrisburg, Pa., have been tab bed by their compatriots as the up-and-coming golfers of the day players whose names might someday rest beside those of Ben Hogan, Craig wood, Byron Nelson and others in the fan-clan. Therefore, an additional punch has been added to this playoff. Both boys are former Texas open champions, the 27-year-old Harbert winning' it this year In a playoff with Hogan. and Har rison taking it in 1938. Both have figured in quite a bit of prize money during their com paratively short bids for places in golf's front ranks. UOWTH STAMD (By the Associated Press) Em DROWNS IN LAKE La Grande. Ore..

The best ship joinery classes of the entire state war produc tion training set-up are being conducted in Medford according to Clem C. Clarke, Salem, assistant state supervisor of the war training. Mr. Clarke was in Medford Saturday to inspect the local classes. Mr. Clarke states that Med ford is unusually fortunate in having Richard Anderson of Rogue River to instruct the ship joinery classes.

Medrick, in charge of war production training for Medford. Mr. Hedrlck states that at present Mr. Anderson has two classes with about 30 men in training. The classes are con ducted three nights a week in three-hour sessions and place ment in shipyards is absolutely sure when the classes are com pleted Mr. Hedrick and Mr. Clarke pointed out that only men of some carpentering ex perience should apply for the classes since Mr. Anderson can not spend time training in basic carpenter work.
