"Our Infield of Mike Lohbeck at first, Al Bolen at third, Russ Stuart at short and Norman Harms at second looks good," Nelson beamed. Veterans Don Gersbach and Lloyd Jones have shown good form on the mound, as have rookie Don Dirks and Vern Her man." Nelson indicated. Outfield Help The Medford playing manager said he could "use some help in the outfield." Nelson himself will handle the catching duties. The Rogues today released eight players, including six pit chers. Released were Ray Fren na, outfielder; Joe Yanchuck, catcher, and pitchers Mel Gol lcgos, Buddy Closs, Ralph Dykes, Jim Luker, Lloyd Anderson and Roland Depee. The club has shown "lots of hustle," Nelson stated. Infield Play Good Nelson was especially proud of the showing of the infield. The double-play combination of Stuart and Harms has captured the skipper's eye. Stuart, a Duarte high school prep star, hit .218 for Reno of the Sunset league last year. Harms hit .380 for Idaho Falls of the Pioneer league last year in eight games before being side lined for the year with a broken leg. Medford lost a 5-4, 10 inning contest to Idaho Falls Sunday at Elks field, spring training park for both teams. Idaho Drills Lonaer Idaho Falls, a week ahead of the Rogues in training, garnered eight hits off of Closs. Dirks, Depee and Dykes. Three Russett tossers held Medford to three blows. Medford scored three times In the second on two walks, two errors and a hit. Idaho took the lead In the fifth with two runs, but the Rogues tied it up in the ninth by taking advantage of two Russett bobbles. A double sacrifice and single accounted for the winning tally in the tenth. Medford breaks camp in Santa Maria April 21 and opens the 1950 season April 26 in Pitts burg.

Rogue Relay On Saturday Klamath Falls will be defend ing its 1949 Rogue relays title Saturday afternoon when the fifth annual event draws four schools of southern Oregon to the Medford high field with events slated to start at 1:30 p.m. Medford won second in the Rogues last year and then went on to place second in the Hay wards behind Klamath Falls. The Tornado, however, did win the state track meet, which in cludes both relays and straight track events. The Rogue relays, recognized throughout Oregon among high schools as a good indication of top schools in the Hayward re lays, was started in 1946 by Bill Bowerman, now track coach at the University of Oregon.' Bowerman's idea was to use it as a "arm-up" for the Hay wards which come one to two weeks later in the spring each year. Every year the Rogues re lays have proven more than Just a "warm-up" as with few excep tions the winners down Here have been top teams in the Hay wards. Eleven events will be run off Saturday afternoon at the local field wilh six of thern so-called field events and five running, including the always popular distance medley.

Recently the last silver salmon of the 1949 run was counted over Gold Ray dam near Med ford. This run totaled 9,440 sil vers, including 405 jacks or young male silver salmon. In 1946, only 3,840 silvers were tallied over counting boards at the dam fish ladder, Rivers said. The bulk of the silvers reached their spawning grounds in No vember and December and 285 spawning female silvers were stripped of their eggs at the Butte Falls fish hatchery. These fkh yielded 774,000 eggs. Young silvers hatched from these eggs will be held for a year at the hatchery and released at 6 to 8 inches in length. Normally a young silver salmon spends a year in fresh water before going to sea and it is during this pe riod that the greatest loss is sus tained, continued Rivers. The present practice of plant ing yearling silvers from the Butte Falls hatchery coupled with the game commission's irri gation screening activities on the Rogue are believed responsible for the large 1949 run. he said. Butte Falls Gun Club Holds Meet Butte Falls, Apr. 12 Butte Falls Gun club held a regular meeting April 5 at the home of Clay Conley. Thirty-five mem bers and visitors were present. New members joining the club were George Rowden, Max Richmond and Robert Beeman. An executive of the big game division of the game commis sion spoke on getting elk in this region. He explained that the methods of catching them were too costly. He also stressed the fact that they would harm the country more than help it as they would eat the deer's food. Cole Rivers, game commission er and biologist, spoke on distri bution of fish, how they deter mined how many fish to put into each stream, and how they were trying to develop better fishing grounds. The business meeting followed with a discussion of how to bet ter the clubhouse. They also dis cussed possibility of building a community hall. Bill Thomas was appointed head of this group.
