Two up and four to go that'i

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

Medford, as before mentioned,

Pelicans. While the Craters are
meeting Grants Pass next week

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

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.

it sensationally by melting six

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.
