Despite the fact that L. L.

"I have never heard of a quad angular meet where the entry w.is limited to two men," the Medford coach said, "or any other meet, for that matter. I will enter three ath letes In most of the events, and If Deal wants to scratch one of them he can do so." One of the highlights will be the mile run between Chris Barker, Tiger distance man, and Gordon McCol lum, ace mller of tho Cavemen squad.

PETERS 5PI BASEBALL SKIPPER OPTIMISTIC AFTER SEEING1RK0UT Balkovick Says Medford Has Making of Fine Club . Practice Today, Satur dayPlay Weed Sunday Intensive training for the Sou the -ern Oregon league season really began for the Medford ball club yesterday afternoon as Mike Balkovick, newly signed manager, sent his charges through a- tough two-hour workout at the fairgrounds field. "From what I have seen so far," the manager said after hi first ten sion with the team, "It look like we will have a pretty sweet club" The turnout yesterday was rather small, but what It lacked In quan tity It more than made up for In quality, hustle and fire. About lb players answered Balkovick practice call, and after an hour of hitting practice, with Eay ErlckAon serving them up, went Into the field foi Infield and outfield practice. Infield Looks Good. Yesterday was the first time the team was able to work on ground bails, double plays and other Inner garden maneuvers, and the result brought a large grin to the new skip per' face. With Donovan on third Dick Lewis at the short patch, Wally Rlckert on second and1 Virgil Swan son on first, it was Immediately ap parent that the infield would be the least of Balkovlck's worries. The quartet handled the ball in near mid -season form and Donny Dono van, especially, loosed leady to opin the season. The short, husky third baseman, who played with Medford two years , ago, fires bullets across that riia imond. His uncanny ability to thrvw I strikes to first base from any posl ! tton and his amazrug ease of motion stamps htm as one of the finest in- fielders to ever perform locally. Dono van hit over .400 with Medford two years ago In the Southern Oregon circuit. Also working In the infield was Hoffman on third, Buddy Howard on second and Sammy Van Dyke on first. There was little to choose be tween the competing players, ind when Virgil Swanson retired after catching a ball on hi fingernail, which split, Hoffman tried his tiand at first with Van Dyke. Both fielded the post nicely. Hot With Wat Club. Outfielders chasing fly balls were Johnny Smith, Ray Lewis and George Oitxen, and they gave a bint of po tential offensive power by smashing the ball far and wide during hitting practice. Along with Manager Balkovick be hind the plate was Conrad, a new comer from eastern Oregon, Short and heavy set. Conrad looked like a nice receiver. Balkovlrk displayed a machine-gun arm, and figures to do the catching for the local in case nobody better shows up. The squad will work out this after noon at 5 o'clock at the fairgrounds, and also tomorrow afternoon at the tame time. The club travels to Wfl Sunday to tangle with the Sons of Italy of the Northern California lea gue in the final and only practice game before the opening of the sea son, May 2 at Grants Pass, HOW THEY?
