, 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. Lewis walked in the
Medford third, advanced on
Fawcett's sacrifice and scored
on Norm Worthley's single to
center to put the Craters ahead,

their half for four runs to clinch
the affair.

three runs batted in, led the

and Martindale both got two
blows for the losers. The Med

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

Albany, Aug. 10 UP) Albany

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.
