' V' BOAT RACES COMING SOON Plans are being made for the annual outboard motorboat races that will be held later this year on Emigrant lake east of Ashland on the road to Klamath Falls. The above picture shows a scene taken during the 1949 races there, when racers from throughout Oregon took part. The baseball season for the valley is not too far distant and even now fans are talking about players, chances for a pennant (school and pro), rules and the like. At the request of many base ball fans this column plans to print the major changes in rules made this season and also some of the interpretations and clari fications put out by major and minor leagues. Interpretations may differ somewhat between leagues but the rules cannot be altered. One of the clarifications that probably few fans will notice but which should help th. players a great deal is lh. definition of th. "strike zone." Major League Umpire Bill Stewart says "there is no new strike zone. It is merely that . . . the rule defining the strike zone has been worded correctly." The rule book under "Base ball Definitions." code 63 now says, "THE STRIKE ZONE is that space over nome plate which is between the batter's armpits and the top of his knee when he assumes his natural stance." The idea that the crouching batter is going to cause trouble is far off the mark as this crouch will be disregarded by the um pire. When a batter -goes into such a position in order to nar row the strike zone, the umpire will call the pitch for the na tural batting stance: Wa took in the movies of the trip along the summit of lha Cascade mountains made two winters ago in a Sno-cat by men measuring snow depths and irrigation water potential ities when th. Central Point Sportsman's club met lha oth er evening. Not only were those color mo vies well worm s-eeing dui we also visited a mighty fine and up-to-date clubhouse. Southern Oregon can well be proud oi rue clubhouse at Central Point and H- ,r--ra-,d Cliin club's house. While the one nearer Medford h; sp:ice including a lounge on the second floor with huge balcony overlooking the trapshoot grounds, the Central Point clubhouse can be enlarged along similar lines when neces sary. If quantity can count for any thing Medford high should have crackerjnek track team this year. Loaches Bob Newland. Lee HOME TOWN NEWS Let WM. SWARTZ & SpN drive your plumbing blues away.

Pep Easily Outpoints Frenchman In New York New York, Mar. 18 U.R Ray Famechon's sorry showing against Featherweight Champion Willie Pep probably will force the New York boxing commis sion to revive the custom of mak ing every foreign fighter show his ability in a small club before being given a main event at Madison Square Garden. ramechon of f ranee tried to take the world title from Pep at the Garden Friday night but he lost the unanimous 15-round de cision by a margin more lop sided than the 18-5 betting price.

Atlas Sought Thursday Promoter Mack Lillard is at tempting to sign the Great Atlas to go against Frank Stojack, former coast junior heavyweight champion, in the feature match of next Thursday night's wres tling card at the armory. The Atlas was holding out for a guarantee which wouid be dif ficult for towns much larger than Medford to meet, Lillard said, but he hoped to persuade the self-styled greatest wrestler in America to accept the match. In the meantime, the mat im pressario honed to find foes for Jack O'Reilly, the Australian roughneck, and Tough Tony Ross, the Salem terror, to round out the card. "If we can't get The Atlas." Lillard said, "we will have some other outstanding grapplcr to go against Stojack." Grace DcMoss Success Defending Golf Title , Pebble Beach. Cal.. Mar. 18 (U.R) Grace DeMoss.
