The 'Medford Craters feel no
shame for losing 7 to 3 to the
Klamath Falls Naval Air Station
at Klamath Falls Sunday after
noon. Navy had several players
in their lineup who have seen ac
tion in professional league and
Just had too much experience for,
Hie ureters.
Norm Worthley, former Med

athletic director at the air sta
tion, said Medford provided the
toughest oppoiition his team has
had all season and that includes
games with Klamath Falls Ma
rine barracks, alio in the South
ern Oregon league, and Fair-fleld-Suiian
Airbaie.
Before game time Worthley
told Craters Manager Paul Freer
that eats for Medford'g team and
supporters who made the trip,
would be on the Navy. Worth
ley added it was Navy policy to
feed visiting teams so much that
they would be unable to run
bases, better enabling Navy to
win the game.
So about IB Craters and fans
were treated to fine fried
chicken dinner but it didn't af
fect ..Medford's ..baae ..running;
they Juat didn't bunch hits at the
right time to get much of a
chance to run the sacks. Alter
the game Navy alio provided a
cold lunch.
The defeat, charged to Dick
Kidwell, was only the third
time the 22-year-old Merchant
Marine right hander had been
beaten since starting his career.

Munich, July 3 (U.R) Frie

man said he was not a Nazi him
self but that he knew a lot of
them, including one who espe
cially ought to be hanged.
"Hi name." said Herr Scher
er. "is Johann Kaiser and he is
a no eood. He lives at 35 Berg-
manstrasse. This K.aiser was ine
I raritr nf the narty cell in the
apartment house at that number
and he also was superinienaem
of the apartment.'
Nasi Frightened
About an hour later a very
shaken Nazi saw several Amer
icans file out of his apartment at
35 Bcrgmanstrasse. Kaiser was
scared He had not been mis
treated In anv way nor threat
ened nor even told that one oi
tris fellow citizens thougnt tie

Kaiser knew only that he had
been "denounced." To him had
happened the dread thing which
had been the fate of so many
Hermans especially Jews

American officer.

And as if there were not
enough terror in the knowledge
that .nmpwhere in this city he
had an enemv who had reported
him to the invaders, another
thought was dropped In Kaiser's
lap. very casually one oi me
group remarked to him:
"You know, ot course, mai wc

will rule this city."
"No," said Kaiser, "on, uoa,
no.
It was not true, of course, bui
Kaiser could not know that, or
he sure of It. The thought evi
dently cut like a whip and the
Americans let the Nazi think it
over.
Kaiser admitted instantly tnat
he was a party member, but he
had explanations and excuses.
"I was forced, " he said, in
10.34 I have been very good to
Jews. I always was very good to
jews and to Communists.

"My house was bombed In a

moser sadly.
"Yes, I knew of concentration

questions. "But 1 was surprised
to hear they were so bad. Unfor
tunately, I must believe what
you say about them is true."
"Were you a party member?"
"My God, no."
"Do you know the Russians
are coming here?"
Breitenmoser'g face fell. He
gulped at his beer and splut
tered: "Oh, oh. I would rather have
the Americans or British."
Breitenmoser said he knew
nothing of German atrocities
against Russians but that he
knew of Russian atrocities
against Germans.
Neither Breitenmoser nor
Scherer had heard the Nazi
story that New York, Washing

bombed.

they were very unhappy as they
