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

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. Sword and Sutherlin got
on base on success misplays,
Locke popped to first for an
automatic infield out. Sutherlin
was forced out at second on
Mark Fitches grounder and
Sword got to third. 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.

Mat Fans Get First Look
At Mixed Tag Go Saturday
Something new for valley
wrestling fans will be presented
for the first time at 'Merrick's
arena tomorrow night when
Mack Lillard offers a mixed tag
team match. 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.
