Leveling Off Noted in Track Performances University of Oregon, Eu gene - There was a general leveling off last week end in Northern division track and field performances and only seven marks were bettered as the season reached its half way mark.

MEDFORIXtf&JTRIBUNE ipflDmnr Robert C o r b i n, manager here for Oregon California Theaters, has announced that the Craterian Theatre will participate in television pre sentation of the Floyd Patter-son-Ingemar Johanson heavy weight boxing title bout. The bout will be staged at Yankee Stadium in New York and tentatively is set for June 25 There will be no home TV. Corbin is wondering wheth er interest is sufficient here to present theatre video of San Francisco Giant baseball games here on a regular basis. It's a possibility once Skiatron begins operations - if it can be shown financially feasible here. Admission to the theater for TV viewings of the Giants would be at a lesser rate than to the parks, themselves. Fans with opinions o n Geertsen Takes Over Bat Lead University of Oregon, Eu gene Norm Geertsen, Ida ho's second baseman took over the Northern division batting lead with a .429 aver age at the end of the second week of play with Don Dan iels of Washington close be hind with a .417 average.

Pitchers Tough Most of the teams experi enced trouble collecting base hits again last week as the pitchers tossed three shutouts and gave up only one run in two other games. .Oregon's hurlers have been the tough est, allowing their opposition only 10 runs in four games and a .183 batting average. Peterson tops the pitchers in strikeouts with 114 and has allowed 2.00 earned runs per game. Three of the all-win ning pitchers, Wheelr, Clay ton Smith of the Beavers and Earle Irving of the Huskies, have not allowed an earned run yet.

Main St., 2nd Floor Open Monday Evening till 8:00 By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sports Editor whether such TV would pay here should make their senti ments known to this depart ment or to Corbin, himself. Corbin has pointed out that the theatre system would have to purchase projection equip ment, at considerable expense, for such game telecasts, rather than lease it as it has done for fight TV. In the 1958 season the Jack son County Softball associa tion appeared on the upgrade after some lean years. But the circuit has run into a snag in arranging for 1959 operations. After loop administrator, Wil lard Barnum, had found eight to 10 teams interested in play ing, he learned that Memorial stadium, Camp White, will not be available to the asso ciation this season. The hard wear on the infield anticipat ed from heavy use of the Vet erans Administration Domi ciliary diamond is the report ed reason. Now Barnum is looking for field arrangements that the circuit can afford. He said that the association probably could get use of the Medford Senior high stadium here but that the cost would be more than the league can stand. He's looking into the possibil ity of Ashland facilities. As for twilight ball here, there's too much objection and for a variety of reasons such as limited hours of daylight and inability of players to get to the game scenes in time after leaving their jobs. Appears that the only real answer is a lighted city soft ball diamond such as residents were once led to believe would be set up in Hawthorne park. Some twilight league softball was played in the park a few years back but lights failed to become a real ity. By the way, some of you softball enthusiasts might jump in and give Barnum a hand with league matters. He hasn't had any help in trying to set up the loop.
