At Dorris 9, Klamath Falls 19, (Saturday). , , Dutch Lleber's Medford Crat ers assured themselves of no worse than a tie for the Oregon- California league championship here over the week-end by whip ping the Grants Pass Merchants, 8 to 4 Sunday afternoon after slugging out a 19 to 10 victory Saturday night. Meanwhile, the Klamath Falls Pelicans drubbed the Dorris, (Cal.) Lumberjacks, 11 to 10 and 19 to S in a two-game series to maintain their position two full tilts back of the Craters, with only two more games to play. These will be staged at Klamath Falls next Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, and the Crat ers need only one win to clinch the pennant. Lieut. Norman Lewis of New York City, stationed at Camp White and signed by the Craters a week ago Saturday, hurled the locals to their victory over the Merchants yesterday afternoon. The slender southpaw, with a swooping curve and an occasion al bullet-like fast ball, whiffed 19 batters and gave up seven blows before forced to the bench in the eighth inning with a blis ter on his finger. Snyder Relieves With the bases loaded and one away in that eighth, and the Craters leading 6 to 3, Southpaw Jim Snyder stepped into the breach and put out the Grants Pass fire with only one run scored, and that on a passed ball. He then retired three men in or der in the ninth to wind up the game. The game was strictly a battle of southpaws. Rusty Mnrtindale, the big Grants Pass high school lad, went the route for the Mer chants and turned in a fine seven-hit performance, and for a Grants Pass defensive crackup in the sixth inning he might have tripped the Craters. Medford. trailing by a 3-2 count in the sixth, tallied four times In that inning to stow away the contest, with Glen Swanson belting home the tle ing and edge run with a blister ing single off Shortstop E. Clark's glove. Al Wray started the Inning with a single down the left field line. Al Fleishman bunted and Third Baseman Jimmy Lewis fumbled the ball, Wray taking second. Both advanced a base on a wild pitch and Don Madden singled Infield to load the sacks. Swansnn then rifled his blow scoring Wray and Fleishman and putting Medford out front, 4-3. With Madden on third and Swanson on first. Johnny Gltzen bunted down the third base line and Lewis, after kicking the ball, picked It up and threw wild to first. Madden and' Swanson both scoring. Lewis was charg ed with two errors on the one play. Blister Troubles Lieut. Lewis fanned three men In a row In the seventh, but In the eighth that blister caused him to lose control. After Martlndale singled. Lewis walk ed Hacerdorn and hit Hanley to load the bases, at which point Snyder took over. Martindale scored on a passed ball: then, with the tying run on second base Snyder struck out Steve Crippen. who had already hit a double and single, with a fast ball down the middle. E. Clark filed out to end the rally. The Craters scored first In the second Inning on Swanson's walk. Glti-cn's hit-and-run single and Fawcett's fielders' choice, but the Merchants tied It In the third on Hagerdnrn's single, an infield out and . Clark's single to left. Lieut.

Martindale's infield blow and Hanley's triple to the right centcrfield boards put Grants Pass ahead, 3 to 2, in the sixth, but the Craters came back in their half for four runs to clinch the affair. Swanson, with two hits and three runs batted in, led the Crater attack, while Crippen and Martindale both got two blows for the losers. The Med ford victory marked their eighth in a row over Grants Pass, Wray Honored In recognition of his excellent play for the past three years, Centerfield Al Wray was pre sented a knife and chain from the Medford Athletic asociation. E. C. (Jerry) Jerome made the presentation and Al said a few words over the microphone.

Longest Game Of Year Won By Chicago, 10-8 Car dinals Slice Dodger Lead. By AUSTIN BEALMER Associated Press Sports Writer Most baseball teams will go to great lengths to win their games but few of them have had to go as far as the Chicago Cubs, who needed 18 innings yesterday to trip the Cincinnati Reds in the opener of a doubleheader. Twelve pitchers, the most ever used in a major league game, paraded to the mound In the struggle, longest in the majors this season and the seventh extra-winning affair for these two clubs in 13 meetings. Three times the Cubs figured they had it in the bag, but each time the Reds tied it up. Finally, Hiram minora, last of six cm cago hurlers, blanked the Reds for six straight innings and the Cubs sandwiched the 18th inning blows of Stan Hack and Dom Dallessandro between a walk and an outfield fly for two runs and a 10-8 decision. The game lasted five hours and was interrupted for another hour by weather in the 13th frame. That left only an hour of daylight for the second game, which the Reds won, 2-1, in four and a half Innings, with Bithorn the starting and losing hurler. Ott's Bunt Wins Meanwhile, the St. Louis Car dinals squeezed past the Pitts burgh Pirates, 4-3 and 2-1, to trim Brooklyn's lead to eight lengths. The Dodgers bumped into a postponement at Boston. At Philadelphia, the Giants tripped the Phils. 3-2 in the first game when Mel Ott laid down a 10th inning bunt with the bases loaded, but Bill McGee made' things easier in the second game, pitching a five-hit shutout as the Giants won, 2-0. In the American league, the New York Yankees increased their lead to a dozen games and the Boston Red Sox moved into second place, although neither team lifted a bat. It all came about when the Chicago Sox clipped the Cleve land Indians, 11-1 and 3-2, stretching their winning streak to eight games and dropping the tribe half a game behind the Red Sox. The Detroit Tigers had the help of 11 St. Louis errors as they downed the Browns, 9-3 and 31. Doubleheaders between the Yanks and Philadelphia Ath letics and the Red Sox and Washington Senators were .post poned until today. Albany Juniors Take Oregon Championship Albany, Aug. 10 UP) Albany swept a doubleheader here yes terday to defeat Portland. 16 to 7 and 11 to 8, for the state American Legion junior baseball title- After dropping the first con test of a three-game series, the Albany players recovered bat ting eyes to pound out 25 hits in the double bill. m.-,:.i:.j. -t Jfii n tvt 3k Making his first trip as bat boy with the Philadelphia Athletics is Connie Mack 3rd. 12 (right), grandson of the veteran manager of the A's.
