Score of the Ashland-Jackson-ville game was not reported. Dennis Painter tossed a one hitter for the Tigers, walking two and whiffing eight. Bill An horn held the Tigers to three hits. He walked five and struck out the same number. One unassisted double play helped Central Point. Louis Al varez snagged a liner and step ped on second base for the twin kill. Lone Pine and the Wildcats played on the Shorty Miles' field in Medford with the Piners reportedly getting four homers over a short outfield. Grants Pass defeated Medford 5 to 4 in a practice Cub game on Wednesday. - Johnny Jones permitted GP only two hits. One was a triple. The Climate city boys came from behind in the last inning when Jones yielded three walks along with a single. Medford got six hits but could not use them for sufficient runs. A regular league fray be tween the Ashland and Medford Cubs was postponed. SHORT- SCORES: , R H. E Med. Wildcats 13 6 5 Lone Pine ; 15 7 6 Defley, Piland (1), Defley (4) and Miles;- Lowry and Griffin, Shotgunners coming to Med ford from throughout the west will compete for some 20 cham pionships next week in the an nual Grand Pacific tournament of Pacific International Trap- shooting association. And a good share of last year's titlists are expected to be on hand to de fend their laurels. Activity at Medford Gun club begins with practice on Wednes day. Championship competition will run Thursday through Sun day in class, singles, doubles and handicap events. . Principal defenders, naturally, will be Arnold Riegger, Seattle Last year at Spokane 4ie won high over-all and all-around, Class AA at 16 yards, the A doubles, the singles at 16 yards and the Grand Pacific handi cap. J. Roach, Victoria, B.C., fired 200 straight for Class A honors last year. J. Bateman, Othello, Wash., won Class B, Dr. L Schilke, Aberdeen, Wash., C, and Dr. B.. Allen. Los Angeles, D.

The Sox travel to Grants Pass for the feature series Saturday and Sunday in the SOL. Other contests are Medford at Rose- burg and Coquille at Bend. Ban don has a bye. Grants Pass, if it still has the personnel on hand it had last week end, should prove a tough er customer for Drain than at the opening of the season when the Black Sox claimed two triumphs. The Elks last week end, of course, knocked off Co quille which had been dead locked with the Sox. Coquille is the only club so far to bowl over Drain in League play. At Bend both ' Logger clubs will be out to improve on their first-time-around series. Coquille and Bend divided in their start er series. Medford lost its previous games to Roseburg and the lat est series should indicate whether rejuvenation has taken place with a change in Cheney Studs' managers. The Medford nine will see its first SOL rivalry under the helm of Jack Cooney, first baseman, who has replaced Clarence Mellbye in the player-skipper role. Joyce Vanairsdale, Newport, Wash. Mike Simpson, Portland, won junior and Ken Jones, Con don, sub-jtmior. H. B. and Har vey Carlisle were father and son champions. Dr. G. E. Henton, Portland copped the over 70 trophy and E. G. Henselman, Medford, the 65-70 prize. Law rence and Olive Holland, Reno, Nev., were husband and wife winners. The tournament, biggest trap shot in importance in Medford history, may draw some 300 shooters from eight western states and British Columbia. Reservations are already in from the Canadian province and from Los Angeles. Medford club members will hold practice on Sunday with one' of the main objectives to check all 10 traps to see that they are in working order for the shoot. All shooters have been urged to turn out in order that traps can be given a thorough workout. CP-MEDFORD LEGION 9 HAS SUNDAY ENCOUNTER Advertising in a program to be distributed at the game and a small admission charge for adults and teenagers Those are the means by which some funds will be raised Sunday for the Central Point-Medford American Legion junior baseball nine when it plays Ashland at the fair grounds ball yard. The funds will help the Dis trict 44 championship aggrega tion through its interdistrict play-offs starting next week. Sunday's diamond action will be the only one in Medford over the week end for local fans. It will be non-district since the regular league season is past and the CP-Meds are filling in prior to entering state eliminations. The tangle is to go nine full innings and will find Ashland, a district contender until last week end, attempting to gain some measure of revenge. CP Medf ord holds four wins over the Lithians so far this year. Thre Pitchers All three home club pitchers are billed to see duty with Fred Herrmann, Duane Sides and Henry Putney to toss three in nings each.

The Douglas county boys have come to consider the posse oval an "easy money" track. They've generally taken just about all of the pot from the local car jock eys. Whitey Dage headed the Roseburg gang last time out on the Medford track by capturing both the A main and the A trophy dash. Attempt to bring the track record back within their own circle and to outgun the Rose burg invaders will keep the Med ford and vicinity drivers busy throughout the whole evening. Their anticipated extra effort could mean tense entertainment for the spectators. Mark Eyed Johny Boomer, Crescent City, Calif., established a new Jeckson County speedway time trial lap mark of 19.80 seconds last week and hopes to be back to improve on the mark. Meanwhile a flock of local skippers have set their sights on bettering the new stan dard themselves. . Bob Christie, the veteran RAIN STYMIES TOURNEY Ft.

Eight young sters from 16 to 21 years old will be picked to comprise the squad next month. Glendale's leadership in the Rogue Valley baseball league is safe this week but its margin at the head of the circuit could be whittled down. Camp White is host to Glen dale in a Sunday fucc. Other loop encounters are Butte Falls at Grants Pass, and Eagle Point at Ashland. Currently Glendale holds a 1 Vi game spread over Grants Pass and Camp White, which are tied for second place. Camp White inflicted on Glendale the only setback it has suffered this sea son.

Only change in team positions resulting from last week end's scuffles was the Grants Pass climb into second spot deadlock. Buy At Czildsrs Srpplj 3 QUALITY . BLOCKS Bricks, Fines Drain Til 727 W.
