Chicago White Sox never gave It
a second thought as the ball
whistled past his ears and into
center field.
That was In the third Inning
at Detroit yesterday, but before
the finish that hit loomed bigger
to Haynes than the mightiest
home run ever smashed. For
when it was all over and the
White Sox were 8 to 0 winners
over the Tigers, Haynes had
come within Just' one pitch of
turning in the first perfect no-
hit game in the Major Leagues
in exactly 23 years.
In the only other Major Lea
gue game yesterday, the Boston
Red Sox won their fourth
straight game, topping the visit
ing Washington Senators, 8 to 4,
to qualify as baseball's "hot and
cold" club. The Red Sox, who
dronoed their first eight games
continued to get adequate pitch
ing and timely hitting to pro-
Jong their streak on the right
side of the books. The senators
got only four hits, three of them
by George Blnks.
All other games were post
poned because of rain.
CUB DRAFTED
Chicago, May 2 (U.R) The
Chicago Cubs were left with
only five outfielders today with
the drafting of Cecil Garriott,
28-year-old reserve. Garriott or
iginally was classified 4-F but
he was called up for re-examination
yesterday and was accepted.
Panama was the heart of the
Spanish Empire in the New
World in the 16th century.

Two newcomers will be Intro

Mack Lillnrd calls one of his
strongest cards In severs
months.
Kenny Ackles, who has been
headlining bouts at Hollywood
Legion Stadium, one- of the
toughest places in the country
to make good, will be making
his initial- appearance in south
ern Oregon, meeting popular
Georges Dusette, coast champion

Ackles Is said to be every bit as
clever as Dusette and has a wide
variety of holds at his command,
Antone Leone, who comes di
rect from Oyster Bay, N. Y., to
the northwest, is inclined to
rough things up a bit, an oppor
tunity which will undoubtedly
given him when he faces Ter
rible Tony Ross in the three-
round opener.
Not to be overlooked Is the
long-awaited six round main

" 2 TbaoainaltCarjojta,
Enthusiasm Is running high
toward a summer Softball league
in Medford. Several players and
team managers who have been
connected with the sport here In
years gone by favor reviving the
league. Consensus of opinion
seems to favor playing one night
a week, and not more than two
nights a week, with six or eight
teams making up the circuit.
Sam Jennings, who has spon
sored teams here for the past 12
years, said yesterday he has
made a hurried check of players
and there seams 'to be consider
able enthusiasm. Jennings said
the players he contacted would
like to tee the league started and
he added he would be glad to
sponsor a team.
Ray Singler, who has played
Softball in Medford for nearly
20 years, is anxious fo see the
sport revived and said he could.
be counted on to do all possible
to promote a summer league.
Ray Lewis, who acted as man
ager of the last league in Med
ford, said he was highly in favor
of re-organization and would be
glad to help In any way. His du
ties may prevent him from act
ing as manager again, Lewis said.
but he is anxious to call a meet
ing and get the thing started.
E. H. Hedrick, city superin
tendent of schools, said the high
school football field and lights
would be available for a summer
league. Hedrick said the expens
es came to about $10 a night J
when the league was operating
four nights a week a couple of
years ago. The lights on the
high school football field were
paid for by three seasons of toft-
ball, Hedrick said.
Hedrick suggested a twilight
league be formed and offered
use of, the high school baseball
diamond for this purpose. He
said his office would find some
way to caruy the expense of such
league. Then If the league
showed signs of being a success.
Hedrick said, it could be moved
Into a night circuit. Most of the
players and spectators contacted
on the matter prefer a night lea
gue, however.
A clerk at Lamport s Sporting
Goods store said they have a
good assortment of equipment
on hand although It is hard to
get. The bats are said to be of a
low quality but would be good
enough to "get by."
A meeting will probably be
called some time the first part of
next week at which time organi
zation plans will be discussed.
