( Chez May Pitch Saturday's Game Joe Chez, former Medford high and semi-pro pitcher in this area, may be on the mound Sat urday when the Stanford univer sity varsity baseball team is scheduled to play. Chez', a sophomore at Stanford this year, hurled the Indians to 8 4 to 3 victory over California Monday of this week and is said to be leading the California In tercollegiate Baseball association pitchers with two wins and no defeats. Reports here were that the Medfordite has won six games and lost none during the entire season. Chez in the game against Cali fornia not only got credit for a victory as a pitcher but also contributed two hits in three tries at the plate, including a two-bagger, and scored one run. County Class B Nines Slated Friday Games Jackson county class B high school baseball games scheduled Friday send St. Mary's of Med ford to Talent and Prospect to Rogue River high. "Play ball" will be about 3 p.m. The originally slated game for tomorrow between Butte Falls and Phoenix at Phoenix will be played Saturday at 2 p.m. Jack sonville draws a bye this week. Bauer Sisters Now Pro Ranks New York, Apr. 13 (U.R) Are professional lady golfers cuter than amateurs? Up until today, most "critics" would have said "no" in loud chorus, but now things are dif ferent. The pros have just given themselves two doses of glamor with the addition of the beauti ful Bauer sisters, 22-year-old Alice and 16-year-old Marlene. There's no denying the sweet singing sweethearts from Mid land, Tex., pack plenty of gal lery appeal. And there's also no doubt that they figure to be big winners in the pro ranks. Philadelphia Fighters Win AAU Championships Boston, Apr. 13 (U.R) Eight simon-pure champions, t h r e e from Philadelphia, gave profes sional ring promoters a squint at the future today as they head ed homeward with amateur box ing's top awards from the 62nd annual AAU championships at the Garden. The Philadelphia team copped top honors at the three-day mara thon of maul. The Quaker City squad captured the flyweight, lightweight and walterweight titles.

Rarely if ever does a loser en ter the winner's circle no mat ter what the sport but perhaps Joe Chez and the rest of the Stanford unversity baseball squad figure they are going to be exceptions to this "rule ' this spring and summer. The local boy tells us that if the Indians win the California Intercollegiate Baseball associa tion title they probably will go to the national intercollegiate tournament back east. But if Stanford should lose out on this trip the boys still can look forward to a visit to Hawaii for several games. The Hawaii trip is in the cards whether they win or lose out west the trip back east only if they win. Of course the trip to the big national tournament would be a big thing for Joe and his team mates but just think what a visit to Hawaii might be like! The local Kiwanis club should be congratulated as well as thanked for putting up a trophy and a handsome one too for' the winner in the fifth annual Rogue relays here Saturday aft ernoon. The event needs a shot in the arm from the fans. Not that the Rogue relays ever lack interest among the boys but often the crowds of onlookers has been small considering that the event almost every year tells pretty much who the lead ers will be in the Hayward re lays a week later. The trophy given by the Kiwanians will go to the win ner this year for keeping un til next spring. A school must win the award three years to keep permanent possession. Incidentally, don't get the purpose behind the recently formed Athletics Booster club wrong. The organization was formed to promote local athletics, to be of whatever help it can furnish in bettering athletics and as an aid in selling tickets, interesting fans and the like. It is not organized to criticize coaches or players as are some such clubs. The Medford club wants to build up rather than tear down whether it is school, semi-pro, amateur or profession al sports that are being played. Tricky baseball with "Do you know the rules" questions crop up about this time every year and are of interest to fans of the diamond sport who like their technicalities. Here is one that may not be old but perhaps it will bring some discussion in the local hot stove league: Runners on first and third with one out. Batter hits long fly to outfield and runners on first and third break for second and home respectively. Fielder makes spectacular catch for sec ond out. Man on first runs dbck, tags up and tries for second. Meantime runner on third, leaving too soon, has scored. Runner on second gets into run down and finally is -retired for third out. With three out you can't retire anyone else so what happens if the ball is thrown to third and does run score? Hockey New Westminster, winner of the Pacific Coast Hockey league northern division title, will meet Los Angeles in the southland Saturday night in the first game of a playoff series for the league crown. The Royals downed the Van couver Canucks 3 to 2 lust night in a hard-played overtime con test to win the northern cham pionship in the seventh game of a best-out-of-seven series. OSC Rooks Thinclads Vie with Ducks Today Corvallis, Apr. 13 (U.R) Ore gon State s Rook track team, un der the mentorage of Grant (Doc) Swan, will open its 1950 season here today against the University of Oregon rrosh. The Duckling meet will be the first of three duels for the fresh men, who will host Oregon Col lege of Education and Clark junior college here April 21 and travel to Eugene May 18 to square off with the Frosh again. Russia Pilots Given Order of Red Banner London, Apr. 13 (U.R) Mos cow announced the award of Or ier of the Red Banner today to four Russian airmen "for excel lent fulfillment of their serv ice duty." The brief announcement broad cast by Radio Moscow gave no indication of the reason for the award. However, the circumstances gave rise to speculation that the men were the fighter pilots who intercepted an American four engined plane over Latvia Satur day.

Fenton, who is making his initial appearance here, was brought in by the Atlas to make the other half of a rough and tough combination. Local fans already know of the unorthodox graopling characteristics of the self-stvled greatest wrestler in America. The Atlas told Lillard that, while Fenton naturally isn't as good as he, the Canadian is reputedly an expert in Jhe roughhouse department. Belcastro. on the other hand. has been wrestling in Medford Government Cuts Poultry Support Washington, Apr. 13 (U.R) The government today unexpect edly withdrew price support from all poultry. Agriculture officials said this could mean cheaper prices for turkey during the holiday sea son next fall. The agriculture department announced that for the first time in nine years there will be no support for 1950 crop of turkeys and chickens. This is the first year since 1941 that support are not required by lav.. . The decision was made in the face of reports indicating that farmers are planning to boost production of poultry meat this year. Portland. Ore.. Apr. 13 (U.R) Pacific northwest poultry produ cers, hatcherymen and proces sors said today that they were "completely surprised" by the government's announcement it will not support chicken and turkey prices this year. E. L. (Roy) Martindale, repre sentative of the Columbia Pro duce company, said the govern ment action came 90 days too late for area turkey producers because a majority already are brooding poults or have ordered them for delivery by May 1.

His choice of Skaaland as a part ner as a surprise to many local fans but Belcastro explained that he feels Skaaland is a def inite comer in the grappling wars and, while lacking some what in experience, makes up for it in smoothness. Local fol lowers of the cauliflower indus try have taken the good looking Norwegian to their hearts and are expected to be on Hand in droves to cheer him on.

(Slats) Bill, Oregon State college basketball coach, said to day that the national trend ap soared to be for the wide-open brand of basketball.
