IMO Rogues Split Double Header With Willows, 18-11 and 7-1, To Gain Tie for Third Place Bv Hank Gmn Mail Tribune Bperta Editor A sports fan seldom can say that he never gets his money's worth when he goes to see a class D league game and last night was no exception as the Medford Rogues won a wild affair 18 to 11 after dropping a close battle T to 1. In winning four out of five games in their initial 1950 home stand, the Rogues moved Into a tie with the Pittsburg Diamonds for third place In league stand ings. The fairgrounds had more than 1,000 people sitting In on the proceedings when the Rogues of the Far West league scored eight runs in the fourth and six in the sixth innings of the night cap to assure a local win after being behind at one point 11 to 1. First same of the twin bill with the Willows Cardinals saw Player-manager Ray Malgradi of the Californians just miss a no hit, no-run game. A long fly into deep right by Pitcher LaVerre Herrmann with Ray Cooney on base by virtue of an error, was lost in the sun and went for two bases. It was the only hit Medford made off Mal gradi and also scored the Rogues' only run. Herrmann went off the field last night with one unusual dis tinction, that of being both win ning and losing pitcher in the same evening. He was loser in the curtain-raiser and got credit for the win in the nightcap. Wildness on the part of four Medford hurlers in the first three innings of the finale nearly proved the downfall of the Rogues. Eight walks and a hit batsman plus three Cardinal's hits produced eight runs for the visitors in the third inning. Rogues Com To Life Medford made sure of a 3-1 record in the Willows series, however, by scoring eight runs in its half of the fourth stanza on walks to Russ Stuart and Don Williams, and two walks each to Al Bolen and Cooney, Milt Mar tin as 'nit batsman, an error and singles by Ray Adams and Bob Haddock. Bolen had a rather unusual record in the second game in that he walked his first five times up and then lined out viciously to the second baseman his sixth trip. The Rogues pushed over six tallies in the sixth inning on singles by Williams, Cooney, Haddock, Herrmann and Marc Guglielmo and Williams up for the second time, two walks to Bolen and an error, Face Marysville Medford Rogues head south Tuesday to open a three-game series at Marysville and play four more at Willows before com ing back to Medford on Tuesday, May 16, to start a three game aorips with Pittsbure followed bv four Far West league tilts with Reno. Nicely in Mound Debut For Seals San Francisco, May 8 (U.R) The Los Angeles Angels reai firmed this past week that they are doggedly bidding lor an ear ly Pacific Coast baseball lead. For the second week in succes sion, they won a series from op ponents above them on the lad der, with tneir victories m oun dav'.i doubleheader at San Fran Cisco at 8 to 5 and 10 to 2, they rose to take a commanding third position in the standings. At present, they are two and a half games benina nouywooa in sec ond position. Nicely on Mound The 13,000 fans at Seal Sta dium enjoyed the two games, even though they saw their Seals lose. The pleasure came from seeing superb pitching by Angel Cal McLish in the second game as he hurled his fifth win against one loss for the season. And it came closer to home when they watched clever-fielding Roy Nicely old Seal shortstop pitch the first two games of his career. Nicely, who has been working out in practice as a hurler, didn't do too badly. He was in on the ninth in the first game, allowing two walks, but then he settled down and retired the side. He was responsible, however, for two runs in the seventh inning of the second contest, to break his perfect record of no blam able counters. Beavers Divide Other games in the league saw Hollywood taking two games from Oakland, 11 to 4 and 3 to 2. Sacramento and Seattle di vided, the first going to the Solons 7 to 4, the second to the Rainier 1 to 0.

Underdog Seattle, which still has a long way to go to get out of the league cellar, took the se ries from Sacramento five games to two. Big Jim Wilson shut out the Sacs and allowed five hits in the second game. Bill Evans, the losing , hurler, gave only three hits. Stars Lose Series Despite Hollywood's double victory, the stars lost the series agninst Oakland four games to three. Portland and San Diego divid ed their series three games each, having been rained out at Beav erville Thursday. The Padres took the opener as Buster Ad ams, Jack Graham and Harry Simpson all clouted home runs.
