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.

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.

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.

went on to win in the 10th in
ning 4-3.
The night before, they came
from behind in the last inning
to tie the game, only to lose in
the extra frame.
As a matter of fact, the three
southern California teams look
as though they may do betU-r
than just a bit of all right in the
current Pacific Coast league
race.
Angels, Padres Tied
Los Angeles and San Diego
are tied at the top of the stand
ings with two victories and no
defeats each. The Padres edged

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

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.

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.
