Medford Rogues nd the Pitt
burg Diamonds will open a three
game Far West league baseball
series at the fairgrounds park to
night with single games between
the two topnotch nines also
acheduled Wednesday and Thurs
day evenings at 7:45.
Either Jack Lloyd or Glen
Hyatt, the latter a newcomer to
the Rogues' mound staff, will be
on the mound tonight. Player
Manager Tommy Nelson was un
decided this morning which he
would use. Hyatt only arrived
here yesterday and Nelson may
give him a rest first.
M.hn Falli Sands
Hyatt came to the local club
from Idaho Falls of the class C
Pioneer league, along with Out-
fielder Mike ropovicn, me mi
ter a rookie but said to have good
possibilities. Hyatt is an experi
enced pitcher. Nelson said.
The Rogues scheduled a work
out this noon at the fairgrounds
park, with batting and infield
practice stressed. The drill was
expected to be a relatively brief
one so the players need not spend
too much time in the hot sun.
As of this morning the Rogues
are in second place in the Far
West league standings, 1V4 games
behind league-leading Klamath
Falls and a full game ahead of
third-place Pittsburg.
Other League Garnet
Other class D league games
scheduled early this week in
California and Oregon send Reno
to Eugene, Willows to Redding
nd Klamath Falls to Marysville.
With the possibility that the
high-flying Klamath Gems may
get a rough reception at Marys
ville, wins for the Rogues this
week with Pittsburg and late this
week with Reno could help boost
the Medford club into first place
once again.
This week Thursday night
fans at the fairgrounds will see
Max Patkin, nationally famous
baseball clown. In action. His an
tics as a coach, batter, fielder and
in similar roles on the baseball
diamond are famous wherever
baseball is played.

Wallick
Eyes Win
Over Atlas
Leo Wallick, aware of his poor
showing against the Great Atlas
last week, today told Promoter
Mack Lillard via telephone from
Portland that he was grateful
for the return match with the
self-styled greatest wrestler in
the world and would pull all the
stops in an effort to gain a vic
tory when they meet In the main
event of the armory wrestling
card Thursday night.
Wallick said he knew better
than to turn his back on his op
ponent, as he did last week
when arguing with Referee Earl
Yoakley. That was the mistake
which cost me the match," Wal
lick said, "but it will be differ
ent this time."
Belcasiro Vs. Gray
Pete Belcastro, burning be
cause he was again shunted to
the background in his desire for
a crack at either Wallick or the
Atlas, is expected to unleash fury
only as Belcastro can wnen ne
clashes with Karl Gray in the
semi-windup. Belcastro wants to
show Lillard that he belongs in
the ring with either of the main
eventers and he doesn't want
Gray to be a stumbling block.
The Eddie Williams-Ted Bell
curtain raiser should provide the
most exacting fan with all that
can be desired in a scientific
match. They are well-versed in
their chosen profession and none
of the hair-pulling and gouging
stuff is expected.
All matches will be for 45 min
utes or two out of three falls
with the first one to go on at
8:30 p. m.
Giants, Dodgers Deal
In Players Expected
New York, May 16 u.P.)

the Brooklyn Dodgers and New
York Giants, possibly involving
a Dodger pitcher.
Leo (The Lip) Durocher, Giant
manager, was over to visit Dodg
er President Branch Rickey last
night and their huddle - lasted
well into the night. There was
little doubt that Leo came to
see his old boss about a possible
deal.
The Dodgers have 30 players
on their roster and must trim to
25 by midnight tomorrow to
meet the player limit.
Baumholtz of Angels
Big Surprise in PCL
San Francisco, May 16 (U.PJ
One of the surprising items
about the surprising Los Angeles
Angels, who presently are occu
pying the rarified atmosphere of
the first division in the Pacific
Coast league race, is a little out
fielder.
His name is Frank Conrad
Baumholtz and in his 170-pound
frame he has been packing tne
dynamite that has given Mana
ger Bill Kelly's Seraphs a spark
they have lacked in recent sea
sons. Currently, the 30-year-old out
fielder is sporting a .455 batting
average far and away the best
in the PCL.
10 Years in Pros
. It was just 10 years ago that
Baumholtz broke in with River
side, then in class C. California
Dot Kielty
Leads Golf
Newcastle, Northern Ire., May
16 (U.P.) Dot Kielty of Los An
geles advanced to the fourth
round of the British Women's
amateur golf championship to
day with a 4 and 3 victory over
Mrs. Mervyn Pilch of kngiana
as favored Grace Lenczyk of
Newington, Conn., was elimi
nated. Miss Kielty thus became the
last remaining American hope to
win the British title. Two other
U. S. women were eliminated in
yesterday's opening round while
Miss Peggy Kirk of Findaly, O.,
remained in the U. S. and de
faulted her first round match.
Miss Lenczyk, one of the
leading tournament favorites,
was beaten in the third round by
Elizabeth Price of England. 2
and 1. Miss Kielty will play her
fourth round match this after
noon.
league. He was four years in the
service, but in his other five
years of campaigning he has
been in the charmed .300 circle
only once.
That came in 1946 when he
clouted a .343 rate for Colum
bia in the South Atlantic league
and got a bid to the majors.
Of course, no one, including
the management, is expecting
Frank to maintain his present
pace. But even if he drops 100
points and comes in with a .355
average for the season, all will
be satisfied i n c 1 u ding the
Baumholtz family, for it will
earn him another shot at the
majors.
Games This Wesk
The Seraph outfield star will
get a chance to test his bat wiz
ardry this week against the San
Francisco Seal pitching in the
southland. If he finds the pick
ings as easy as some of the other
batters around the coast have,
then he should have a field day.
Elsewhere around the circuit,
Oakland plays host to Holly
wood, Seattle visits Sacramento
and Portland goes to San Diego.
Fleming Leading
PCL in Batting
San Francisco, May 16 U.R)
Les Fleming, the San Francisco
powerhouse first baseman, has
only a .329 batting average, but
he leads the Pacific Coast league
in home runs With 10, and in
runs batted in with 46 on 52 hits.
According to statistics releas
ed today and including games of
May 13, Frank Baumholtz of Los
Angeles tops the hitters with a
remarkable .455 average in the
31 games he has played.
Al Lien, San Francisco lefty,
is the top hurler with six wins
and no defeats.
