.,4 Medford-Ashland Tilt Halted in 5th Canto "Rain, rain go away. Come again 2t the end of May." Although not popular with the farmers, that's the current saying in .high school baseball circles. The wet weather yesterday Interrupted M e d f o r d high's fourth and final diamond clash of the season with Ashland and washed out the remaining base ball rivalry planned for this week end by the Black Tornado. Medford and Ashland strug gled through the rain for 4Vfc Innings here yesterday and, while showers finally halted after a last hard downpour, the clubs yielded to the fact that the field was too wet and "mud dy for continuing the struggle. Medford was leading 4 to 3 at the time. Four and one-half Innings, according to the book, can con stitute a game but Coach Alex McDonald of Medford acknowl edged the desire of Coach Snuffy Smith and his Ashland charges to continue despite the wet and mud. Mutual agreement was reached to continue the scrap at a later day. And several extra innings may be played "for kicks." No Eugene Trip Called off also because of rain this week in the Willamette valley was Medford's trip to Eu gene. The Tornado was to have met the University of Oregon Frosh in a single game today. A doubleheader with Eugene high had been slated for Saturday. - Medford packed all its runs Into the first inning yesterday while Ashland's Grizzlies surged in the top of the fifth for their three. Ed McCulIough led off the Tornado's first batting turn with a single. Frank Rector also safe- tied. McCulIough went to third and Rector stretched to second on the throw in. Ed then tallied on a wild pitch "by Hurler Gene Parent and Frank got to third. After Dick McLaughlin fanned. Lorin Jacobs boomed the ball Into right field. It bounced over Fielder Don Olson and went for home run. Larry Gober got to first base on Shortstop Pete Cotton's field ing miscue and stole second. Ed Reinking slapped the ball into the left pasture for a triple to drive in Medford's fourth run. Rector Doubles Only other Tornado batter to tag Parent for a hit was Frank Rector. His fly ball dropped be tween two fielders In the second canto for a , double. , However Ernie Tyler and McCulIough struck out and Dick McLaughlin We're Proud Of Our TOP VALUE USED CARS See Our Used Cot Adv.

Ashland loaded the bags on Medford Sophomore Chucker Tyler in the first inning. After two batters retired Parent singled, Phil Sword walked and Jim Sutherlin singled. However Lance Locke flied out to center field to end the threat. Tyler retired Grizzly batters In order during the second and third tussles but infield errors put him in a tough spot in the fourth.

Bill Work man socked a fly ball for the third out. In the fifth Ashland got to the tiring Tyler for four hits. Cot ton, Bob Alley and Jack Lane got successive singles to load the bases. Parent hit into a dou ble play ball which allowed Cot ton to score and Alley to perch on third base. Medford seemed pretty well out of trouble but Sword walked and Sutherlin followed with a double for the third run: Sides Relieves At that point, with rain start ing to shower hard, Duane Sides relieved Tyler. He struck out Locke" to end the inning. The clubs swarmed into the stands to await the end of the downpour. Rain showers, light to heavy, had fallen during most of the action. After the last heavy shower let up Ashland returned to the field to warm up although the pitcher's mound the batter's box and base paths were soaked, chewed up and slippery. The Grizzlies, after the fifth inning turn of events, were eager to go on with the game but after the Medford con cession agreed to come back and finish another day. Sutherlin and Rector were the only ones to get more than one hit in the mix. Each collected two. Tyler walked two men along with giving up six hits in 4 2-3 innings. Sides whiffed the only batter he faced. Parent held Medford to five hits, struck but five and walked none in four stanzas. LINESCOREi Ashland 000 03 Medford 400 4 Parent and Sword: Tyler.

It pairs Yoggi Hus sane and Gerry Hunter against Champ Thomas and Bonnie Bart lett. While the men will not be per mitted to wrestle the women, under any circumstances, Lillard pointed out that the match of fers many possibilities for fire works. Hussane is anxious to even the score for a defeat by Thomas last week and Miss Hunter is still boiling over Miss Bartlett's refusal to assist her in unethical tactics while they were tag team partners on the last card. Both Hussane and Hunter are well known for their activity outside the ring and to what use this will be put to take advantage of Thomas and his partner remain to be seen. Two other matches, each wor thy of top billing, have been carded. The middle event sends popular Cyclone Cobb against Joe Hahn and in the opener newcomer Logger Porter tackles Larry Presnell.' Starting time is 8:30 p.m. with doors to open an hour earlier.
