TEW MCDPORO (OREGON) MAIL TRIBONB Thursday. March 30. 1958 TOWN I fiSEMLL SAGS E HERE FRIDAY Experienced Locals Play Eagle Point Medford high baseball team will open Its 1950 Southern Ore gon conference season Friday when it meets Eagle Point high on the local high school field at I p.m. with the Black Tornado rated again "the team to beat" for conference championship honors. Last year the local youths were on a six or seven game win nine streak without a defeat when all these carries were can celled out due to one of the Tor nado plavers being declared in eligible. This boy could not play and Medford inererjy iosi an ex perienced player. Possible Pitchers Coach Alex McDonald did not Indicate yesterday who would hurl for the Tornado tomorrow but it probably will lie between Darrell Wooten, Terry Maddox and Jack Turk. Gary Boshears probably will handle the caicn lng chores lor Meaiora. Medford has a well experienc ed team with most of the youths on the squad well-versed in fun damentals even though some of them are still in Junior nign. The startine infield against the Eagles tomorrow probably will find Connie Holzgang play ing at third base, "Scooter" Loop at short, Don Coss at second and either Don Denman or Don Wil kinson at first base. Outfield Roster Jim Whitby may draw down thp renterfield Dost and Maddox is likely to be in right field if he does not pitch. The left field position player was not so cer tain today. McDonald has a wealth of ma terial for every position on the team and competition nas Dcen tough for each spot. Three of four boys are seeking each of the positions in many cases. And equally pleasing to the coach is that many of them are sopho mores or freshmen. , Early word from Eagle Point was that the hoys coacnea oy "Shy" Callaghan lack pitching but that much of the rest of the team has had experience. The Eagles have had little practice this spring due to mud and rain. Giants Drop Game 5-3 To Chicago Nationals Phoenix, Ariz., Mar. 30(U.R) Jack Kramer and Sal Maglie, two of the New York Giants' pitch ing hopes, were hit hard as the Chicago Cubs defeated the Gi ants, 5 to 3, yesterday. Andy Pafko and Phil Cavar retta hit homers for the Cubs who raked Kramer and Maglie for 12 hits. .Tribune Stars Stage Comeback To Edge Portland 4-3 San Francisco, Mar. 30 (U.R) .TiiHoine bv their first two per formances, you can count the de fending champion Hollywood Stars "in" on the 1950 Pacific Coast league pennant race on spirit alone. Manager Fred Haney appar ently has Instilled the same never-say-die attitude into 'he club that brought it to the top last year. As a result, the boys aren't quitting, no matter what the odds, until that well-known last out. Portland in Lead Last night was a good exam pie. Trailing Portland, 0-3, going Corky King Loses Decision at G.P. Joe Carothers, Grants Pass middleweight, hit too hard and too often for Corky King, Med ford and Oakland, Cal., and walked off with the decision in their main event boxing match at Grants Pass last night. It was the first promotional effort of Bill Berry. King put Carothers on the deck for an eight count in the third round but other than that, he wasn't quite capable of han dling the Indian boy.

Lacy, Medford, knocked out Norman Stagner, Grants Pass (Z): Bill Sanders, Grants Pass, decisioned Dick Stevenson, San Francisco; Circus Bogart and One Round Hogan drew (exhibition), and Kirk Ain- cham, Medford, knocked out R B.

Rule Probably Ousted New York, Mar. 30 (U.R) It looks like basketball will be "40-minute game" again. That was expected to be the substance of an announcement to be made today by the national basketball rules committee, which is holding its annual meet ing here to frame a playing code for the 1950-51 season. The committee was expected to adopt a proposal made by the basketball coaches of the nation that the "two-minute rule" on the books for the past season be wiped out. The coaches, who concluded their annual convention yester day, recommended by a 63 to 21' vote that the two-minute rule be abandoned, that in its place the Track Meet On Saturday Medford high trackmen will open their formal Southern Ore gon conference season Saturday starting at 2 p.m. with a dual meet against Klamath Falls on the local cinders with a close meet in sight before either school wins. Last weeks "short distance track meet with Grants Pass hieh was more of a "tune-up' and opportunity for coaches of both schools to see now ineir Drosrjects can do under pressure. Medford won this meet 92 to 27. Coaches Bob Newland, Fred SDieeelbere and Lee Ragsdale of the Black Tornado thinclad sauad expect Klamath to pro vide about the toughest opposi tion Meaford will face this year. As defending state champion Medford is even more on the spot. Warmer and sunny weather for several days this week has given local boys an opportunity to "loosen up" a bit and indica tions are that given a good day Saturday the Tornado will be a hard combination to beat. Ortiz Gains Nod In Eugene Fight Eugene, Ore., Mar. 30 (U.R Luis Ortiz, 162, of San Jose, Cal., last night decisioned Davey Ball, 159. Dexter, Ore., in the eigni- round main bout here.

Hockey By United Press San Dipun and Los Angeles battle Saturday night in the first game of the soutnern envision playoffs for the Pacific Coast unAiro., loamm title while New Westminster collides with the; winner of tonight's Tacoma-Van- j couver contest in the nonnern sector. The winners of the lour-oui- of-seven division playoffs win then meet for the coast title and the Phil Henderson memorial trophy. San Diego s SKynawns mi berth in the semi-finals last ight by downing the San Fran cisco ShamrocKs ( to o m overtime game. The New West minster Rovals. meanwhile, were eliminating Seattle s lronmen 2 to 0. Airplane Spin Versus Full Nelson Tonight Georges Dusette, the powerful French-Canadian, and Frank Sto- 1ack. former coast junior heavy weight champion, will have their work cut out for themselves at the armory tonight when they mix It up in the feature match of Mack Lillard's three-ply card Both are past masters at their chosen profession and are smooth performers. Dusette s full nelson is rivaled only by that of the Great Atlas in the Junior heavyweight divi sion while Stojack possesses one of the game's most dangerous airplane spins and also is an ex pert with the dropkick. The winner will probably be the one who gets his pet maneuver ap plied first. Leo Walllck will oit his deadly pile driver, the hold which has disabled several opponents in the past few months, against Tough Tony Ross in the middle match. While Wallick is some what rough, Ross is downright dirty when it comes to wrestling but if he gets too playful. Wal lick probably will apply a double dose of his pet whammy which should slow Brother Ross con siderably. Those who like their grappling along the straight and narrow will be delighted in the Danno-Mi-Donald - Charley Carr set-to which opens the card at 8:30 o.m. Doors will open at 7:30 and Lillard says several choice ring side seats are still available. mm Jd-&j rule should allow a team to waive a free throw at any time during the game to take the ball out of bounds at mid-court. Under the two-minute rule, a team fouled during the final two minutes of the game had to at tempt the free throw (or throws) and also was given possession of the ball. Usually Okays Plans The national rules committee is not obliged to adopt the rec ommendations of the coaches' as sociation, but in the past the committee invariably has done so. In returning to the 40-minute game with one code covering the entire game the coaches recommended something not seen since 1945. However, the coaches also took steps to prevent the parade of substitutions which used to mar the final two minutes under the "waive" rule. That was the annoyance that started the whole "two minute" furore, for as each substitution stopped the clock, the last two minutes took some times 12 minutes to play. Rogues Add New Pitcher Addition of another pitcher to the roster of the Medford Rogues (Nuggets) of the class D Far West Baseball league was an nounced today by Business Man ager Mel Carpenter. Donal Dirks, Livingston, Cal., who is 6 feet tall and weighs 180 pounds was described by Car penter as a pro prospect who had been sought by many major league scouts and finally was signed by the New York Giants. The 19-year-old youth is a rookie signed by Mickey Shader of the Giants scouting staff on the coast. Dirks was assigned to the Rogues by the Giants with whom the local club has a work ing agreement this season. Straight Kentucky Bourbon in all its Glory!
