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.
