SHERIFF'S POSSE Baseball Drama in One Act NEEDED AT HOME HITS BY MAZZERA AND OLSEN CINCH Mound Weakness Hurts Metiford's Pennant Chances Two up and four to go that'i the way the Craters atand In the Oregon California league pennant race, and while ordi narily auch a situation would call (or the laying of plant for the championship celebration, in tr.j cose of the locals their posi tion Is not so enviable as It would seem to appear. The trouble, of course. Is the rather desperate pitching plight Now that Pvt. Joe Dickinson has been transferred, the Craters lack a (linger who can be de pended upon to go the route Manager Dutch Lieber can't do it with his arm In its present ailing condition. Southpaw Jim Snyder was terribly wild against Dorris Sunday and had to be yanked in the third frame. Young Al Wimer is also plagued by wildness and Norm Worthley, though he managed to go four innings Sunday, is a catcher by trade, and not an elbower. The Craters won that Sun day game, IS to 12, simply by outslugglng the opposition, and It appears like they'll have to operate along the same lines If they capture the (lag. It's practically a cinch nobody la going to step in there and give the locals glittering mound stint in any of the remaining four contests. The first two of these last four games will be against Grants Pass here next week-end, and by all rules the Craters should take both of them. They've beat en the Merchants six times hand running, and the cellaritea have managed to win only two loop games out of 20 starts. The following week-end, how ever, it will be a different story, for on August 19 and 18 the Craters travel to Klamath Falls foi a two-game set that will end the league schedule. And, the Pelicans are pure poison for the Craters when playing in Klam ath Falls, the lone trip of the locals to Klamath resulting In a double win (or the opposition. The Klamaths even pounded DLklnson (or a decisive victory. Medford, as before mentioned, it two games in front of the Pelicans. While the Craters are meeting Grants Pass next week end, Klamath and Dorris -will bt engaging in another of their bitter series. In case Medford and Klamath both sweep their aeries next week-end, the Craters will face the Pelicans In the wlndup set still with their two game lead. That'll most certainly place the heavy pressure on the Pell cans, for they will then have to take both games to tie Medford (or the pennant and necessitate a playoff game or aeries. But the heat will be on Medford, too. what with its dearth of first-line pitching, and it It entirely possible the Pelicans will be able to wal lop the locals twice. Deadline (or signing new play en was last Saturday night, and In an effort to bolster the mound eta.'f Manager Lieber acquired a eouthpaw pitcher by the name of Lewis, just arrived at Camp White. Lewis told Lieber that he had had son., semi-pro ex perience. Lewis, the skipper said, would pitch to the batters before next Saturday night's gane, and In case he shows enough stuff will probably work the Sunday tilt against the Merchants.

TILT JNSEVENTH Sam Gibson Gets Credit For Victory In Tight Mound Duel 9,000 See Game Hollywood, Aug. 4 (AP The pitchers did all that was ex pected of them last night, and the hitters next to nothing - at the southern contingent won the second annual Pacific Coast league all-star ball game 1-0 over its northern rivals. The latent might in the South't power-packed lineup sparked only once, and then briefly, and the game was a pitcher's duel from start to finish, if you can call anything a duel in which seven tossers participated. The tally came in the last of the seventh. Outfielder Mel Mazzera, San Diego, rifled a double against the centerfield boards, and went to third as the Angels' Eddie Mayo ground Earney Olsen, dropped a line single into left, scoring Maz zera. It was the second annual triumph (or the South. (Los An geles, Hollywood, San Deigo and San Francisco.) Sacramento's Clarence Been was pitching (or the North (Port land, Seattle, Sacramento and Oakland), so was charged with the defeat. Old Sam Gibson was working for the South at the time, and was credited with the victory. Hitt Scarce Although there were a dozen broadbacka in the lineups last night who are hitting .300 or better, the North collected only fU.hitt and the South tlx. And the opposing pitchers didn't is sus a walk, and fanned 10 be tween them. The North got only one run ner as far at second base, Jack Hoover's error, only one of the evening, and stealing second. Altogether, 35 players partici pated, and a big turnout of 9,000 witnessed the game. Score: R. H. E.

CD rBh MfeLI 7 Mriar'iHi 7 H i this action picture In Detroit of after being hit by a wild throw OODGERS DEFEAT E CALLED IN NINTH By JUDSON BAILEY Associated Press Sports Writer The dimout on the east coast blacked out the ninth inning of a bitter battle between the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants last night, leaving 57,303 spectators in confusion, and made continuance of the twi-night form of baseball In New York a matter of doubt. About ail the (ans were sure of as they scrambled out of the Polo Grounds was that the Na tional league champions had won the ball game 7-4 with Dixie Walker belting a three run homer In the third inning and Dolph Camilli hitting the Jackpot in the seventh Inning with a clout against the right field root while the bases were loaded. These two tremendous blows gave Whitlow ,Wyatt hie 13th victory against three defeats and spoiled Van Lingle Mungo's out ing against his former team mates. The Giants also scored four runs, everyone will attest, but some of the details are like ly to be fuzzy along with the account of the game's ending. Trailing by three runs the Giants came to bat in the last half of the ninth and Bill Wer ber singled on the first pitch, then Mel Ott walked. The crowd was in an uproar, sensing that Wyatt was weakening, and that Babe Young, who had hit a homer earlier, was next at bat. to be followed by Willard Mar shall and Buster Maynard, a couple of sluggers. Hovever, Umpire George Makerkurth at this point sig nalled the game was over be cause of the dimout rules, which prohibit outdoor floodlights in the New York area for more than one hour after sundown. The Giant-Dodger contest was the only major league game yesterday, an open date which most of the clubs filled with exhibitions including one in which the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Philadelphia Athletics 3-2 at Cooperstown, baseball's birthplace.

Gandhi Makes Plea to India's Princes Bombay, Aug. 4 IP) Mohan dis K. Gandhi appealed today in his weekly newspaper Harijan to the Indian princes to share their powers with the people rather than remain tied to the "imperial chariot wheel" of Bri tain which guarantees their authority. The appeal followed closely upon a warning to the British that, unless they grant India in dependence, discontented elem ents will welcome a Japanese invasion. He told the princes forebod ingly that if the British imperial machine were wrecked, "they will disappear" unless they have thrown in their lot with the Indian nation. 2Big!
