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.

Stojack Vs. 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."
