At Klamath Falls 8, Medford 1 (Sunday.) Lieut. Norman Lewis of the 61st Infantry Division flung a beautiful three-hit masterpiece at Klamath Falls Saturday night to give the Medford Craters a 3 to 1 victory over the Pelicans and the 1942 Oregon-California league championship. Klamath came back Sunday to edge out the locals, 8 to 7, but the game was a mere formality, as that Saturday night victory irrevo cably clinched the pennant for Dutch Lieber's hustling crew. With the regular loop schedule completed, the Craters and Pell cans now face a three-game series for the President's cup, the first tilt to bo played here Wednesday night at 9 o'clock. The second contest is slated for Klamath Falls next Saturday night, and if a third and decid ing game is needed it will be staged in Medford Sunday, Aug ust 30. Lieber Leaving Manager Dutch Lieber will say farewell to Medford follow ing Wednesday night s game. Ha is leaving Thursday morning to report to his draft board in Oakland, Calif., for induction Into the army, and in recognition of his service here during the past two years the Medford Ath letic Association has designated the Wednesday game as "Lieber Night." The year's largest crowd Is expected to be on hand to send Big Dutch on his way into the service. Lieut. Lewis, pitching the pennant-clincher Saturday night, fired that left-handed curve and fast ball past a dozen Pelicans or the third strike. Two of the three measly blows he allowed were scratchers, and for seven innings the Klamaths were un able to reach home plate. While the army southpaw was handcuffing the hard-hitting Pel icans, the Craters were collecting even blows off Virgil Haynes, Klamath fireballer. The locals bunched -Al W ray's double, Lieber's single and an error for a run in the first inning, picked up another in the fourth on walks to John Citzen and Lewis, and Norm Worthley's single, and completed their scoring in the ninth on Lewis' walk and Worth ley's second single. After being blanked for seven frames, the Pelicans finally broke through for their lone tally in the eighth on a walk and Hatfield's single. Madden Hits Haynes fanned six Craters and pitched a nice game, but his teammates couldn't cope with the Lewis benders. Dun Madden got three of Med ford's six hits, Worthley got two and Lieber and Wray accounted for one apiece, Larsen collected two of Klamath's bingles and Hatfield the other. Klamath snatched the Sunday game with a four-run burst in the eighth Inning, after the Cra ters had led to that point. Jim Snyder, Crater southpaw, yield ed 13 hits in going the route, while Kenny Bcnham, Pelican righthander, gave the Craters nine blows. Lange and Snyder each hit twice for the locals, while Man ager Ernie Bihop made three of Klamath's hits. Scores: (Saturday) Medford 3 7 2 Klamath 13 2 Lewis and Worthley;; Haynes and Gocidurd, Gros.

Br Gayle Talbot Associated Press Sports Writer After what happened to their pitchers in last month's all-star game, the National league master minds should be giving them selves a good mental kicking every time they read Al Javery's name in a box score these days. The Boston Braves' string bean currently is about the hot test pitcher in either league, fast living up to Manager Casey Sten gel's solemn prediction of the spring that he would be recog nized as one of the game's great hurlers before the season ended. When he blanked the Dodgers 2 to 0 in seven innings yester day, setting the league leaders down with a single hit, Javery completed his 19th consecutive inning without having allowed a run. In his last four games, in which he has defeated Brooklyn twice and Cincinnati and New York once each, the tall young man from Auburn, Mass., has given up exactly one run. Five of his 10 victories this year have been shutouts, which is tall pitching for a seventh place out fit.

Home runs by Joe DImagglo and Joe Gordon, each with, a mate on base, paced the Yankees to an 11-2 victory over the Ath letics in a six-inning affair at Shlbe Park. Detroit came from behind twice to win two decisions over the Chicago White Sox, 3-2 and Cleveland and the St. Louis Biowns battled all afternoon to a stand-off. the Indians winning the first game 3-2 in 11 Innings and the scrapping Browns tak ing the second 6-1.
