TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE NAVAL AIR TEAM FACES ALL-STARS II Harvey Storey Leads Pow erful Nine Against Best Local Talent; Tilt Free. The scintillating U. S. Naval Air Station baseball team from Klamath Falls which has been beaten only once this season, invades the fairgrounds park this afternoon to tackle the best outfit that could be formed in this area the Medford Camp White league All-Stars. The game, which begins at 2 o'clock sharp, will be free to all mili tary personnel and civilians, Led by Shortstop Harvey Storey, the ex-Chicago Cub, San Francisco Seal and Los An seles Angel, the navymen will present a lineup top-heavy with .former professionals and one that has three times whipped clubs from the local circuit. WPRC twice traveled to Klamath Falls to face the fliers, and twice were shellacked,, by scores of 11 to 4 and 21 to 3. The Medford Craters, who won the loop pennant, were soundly thumped, 14 to 7. The local clubs Just couldn't cope with the- power-laden bats of the fliers. Crippen To Pitch Manager Paul Freer of the All-Stars hopes that the veteran Steve Crippen, with his slow curve, excellent control and savvy will be able to silence the thunder in the navy war clubs. Crippen, who tossed a three-hitter last Sunday as the Craters defeated WPRC for the phampionship, has not yet pitch ed against the navy outfit, and he may prove to be the puzzle needed for an All-Star victory. The All-Stars will also have Ted Bergoid, WPRC lefthander and Don Safford, Crater south paw, available for mound scrv- ', Twirling for the filers will probably be Fred Gay, port Slder who has spent many years In professional baseball with Portland, Hollywood, Oakland and San Francisco of the Pa cific Coast league, and the Kan sas City Blues of the American Association. Gay hurled for the Blues in 1938, when they de feated Newark of the Interna tional league, four games to three in the Junior World Series. Also on the navy hill staff Is Jim Olsen, formerly with the San Diego Padres. Team Has Power Freer has selected his All Stars with the eye to creating as much batting strength as pos sible, Heavy stickers are Homer Sullivan, first base; Don WU key, second base; Paul Lucldo, left field; Virgil Swanson, cen ter field and Dave Otte, right field. Freer also is a good hit ter, and if he catches will in crease the potency of the All Star attack. Balance of the lineup will see Harold Lange at third and Tony D'Ambrosio at short. Either Freer, Hoag or firocker will do the receiving. . Leading batsmen of the fliers are Storey, Ensign F. Rickey, third base, nephew of Branch Rickey, general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers; Franny Mil ler, left fielder; Bcrnia Avcrlll, right fielder and son of Earl Avcrlll; Cassldy, first base and Ritenour, catcher.
