- Medford maintained its full
two-game Oregon- California
League leadership by whipping
the DorrU (Cal.) 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.

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.

IN RELIEF TILT
$1C0,CC3 For Army Fund
, Expected Mungo To
Fling For New Yorkers.
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.

Portland, Aug. 3JP Lon
Stlner, Oregon State College
coach, left last night for Evans
ton, 111., where he will be one
of the four coaches of the col
lege all-star football team which
plays the professional champion
Chicago Betrs late in August.
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. He pointed out
that Mr. Anderson was trained
in this work in his native
Sweden. The local classes are
out-ranking those being con
ducted in Portland, Clarke says.
Had Retired
Mr. Anderson has been a
seaman, and during the last
world war did ship joinery work
in Los Angeles. He later was
chief maintenance man for the
Harold Lloyd estates near Hol
lywood and then retired to a
home on the Rogue River. When
the present war broke out Mr.
Anderson, who is but 60, ap
plied at the local employment
office for any work at which he
would be useful and was sent
to E. H. 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.
Thousands Needed
Thousands of mon are need
ed for ship Joinery work, Mr.
Clarke stated and he urged any
one interested to see Mr. Hed
rlck at his office In the city
hall. Welding classes are also
being conducted and in a short
time there will be vacancies
available In these. These
workers are also assured of
ready work, Mr. Clarke said,
and he pointed out that wage
in both types of work are ex
cellent. The joinery and welding class
es are conducted at the shop
of the senior high school on
South Oakdale avenue.
