The Medford Bombers, man aged and captained by Mike Me Culre, will clash with the Med ford Loggers, managed by Cur ley Wooldrldge and captained by Andy Anderson. Yes, they're both local teams and of course It won't be a demonstration of professional hockey. But if we can take the word uf Denny Edge, arena manager and ex pro star, the boys will display plenty of prowess at "the world's fastest game." , These two 10-man hockey clubs, which have been drilling under Edge for some time, rep resent the finest talent in Jack son county. It was the original Intention to form a four-team league here this winter, but Edge wisely decided to organ ize only two teams In order to concentrate the player-strength and provide a better brand of hockey. V Denny, who managed the Spokane Bombers te the Pac , Ule Ceast Hockey league title . last season, is enthusiastic , concerning several of the . county hockeylsts. especially Mark Marquess, a l-y ear-old ' flash living In Ashland, who Gr' formerly resided In Br-'no, da: Alberta, Canada, and played n with the Clippers In the Al b'c berte junior league.

Another local player Edge tatabs as far better than the aver age amateur Is Mike McGuire, whose previous experience was gained at St. Thomas college, St. Paul.

Leading the Loggers, accord ing to Edge, are J. H. Jewett, a former Princeton U and St. Nicholas, N. J., star; Alvin And erson, formerly of Sutler, Al berta, Canada, and a member of the Stealer Bombers, and Andy Anderson, who has played in Fernie, B. C; Longhead, Al berta and Saskatoon. Jewett.

Feb. 3.(4) Outfielder Johnny Cooney of Boston Braves and Catcher Rick Ferrell of the St. Louis Browns expect their clubs' shift back to Florida for spring train ing to benefit both teams. They said the Florida climate should help but the principal benefit would come from more ropresontative spring schedules and a better line on what to ex pect from the opposition in the reRtilar season. The Browns and Braves trained In San Antonio. Tex., last spring. This year Boston will hold its pre season sessions at Sanford and St. I.ouis at De land, bringing to 12 the number of ninjor league clubs training in Florida.

(P) Baseball's bit In this second world war la going to be something more substantial than Just help ing maintain the morale of the country. The major leagues decided, yesterday they would play two all-star games instead of one for the "bat and ball fund and in addition would try to get everyone on their payrolls from Commissioner Kenesaw M. Lan dis down to the batboys to ac cept 10 percent of their salaries in defense bonds. The National and American leagues were in almost contin uous session fcr seven hours yes terday and they considered oilier means of cooperating in the war effort such as exhibi tion games with service teams and admitting uniformed men free but their big accomplish ments were the double all-star spectacle and the payroll, plan. They agreed to play the first all-star game in a National league park in the east (prob ably the New York Giants' Polo Crounds) on Monday, July 6, and to follow this the next day with another skirmish between the same stars in an American league park in the west. The owners admitted an inclination to play this second game at nisht in the mammoth munici pal stadium at Cleveland, where they might attract 80,000 fans. It was agreed that the ad mission prices for the first game would be double the regular scale, while the second game would be played at ordinary prices, plus one dollar, each purchaser also would receive $1 in defense stamps with his ticket. By this means the magnates hoped to inflate to a quarter of million dollars the fund they have otvanized to buy baseball equipment for service camps. The two leagues were unable to reach complete agreement on night baseball and tossed this old argument back into Landis' lap at their special joint meet ing tod.iy. The National league voted to double the number of its night games to permit a maximum of 14 nocturnal con tests at home tor each club and this figure was agreeable to all members of the American league except the Washington Senators.
