"Angels" can do bad as well
as good for people, or at least
so think local baseball fans who
went out to see the Medford
Rogues take on the Pittsburg
Diamonds last night at the fair
grounds as the local Far west

home park stay,
A fellow by the name or joe

Wildness on the part of two
new hurlers in the Kogues
camp Glen Hyatt and "Manny"
Vargas helped no little in giv
ing Pittsburg the victory. The
visitors also combed the two lo
cal boys for 12 hits and made
them count to better vantage
than did the Rogues hitters.
Five of those who drew walks
off Rogues' hurlers later scored
and two other free passes set
previous baserunners in position
to score on later hits. Hyatt
showed Dlenty of "stuff and
speed while Vargas showed the
need for more playing ana conditioning.
Don Williams of the Rogues
snared a towering drive off the
right field fence in the eighth
inning off the bat of Hilly tnos.

did so. John Popovich, a new
comer, snared a liner at his shoe
tops in the fourth for another
fielding gem.
Medford lost the services of
Shortstop Russ Stuart for sev
eral days when a liner he knock
ed down bounded up and hit
him over the left eye in the first
inning. Player Manager Tommy
Nelson took his place and later
when Al Bolen was ejected for
protesting a called strike too
loud, Nelson moved to third and
Lloyd Jones went to short.
The Rogues picked up one run
in the fourth inning on a walk
to Jack Cooney and a texas
league double to right by Bob
Haddock, the first hit made off
Pitcher Angel. Two more scor
ed in the fifth on singles by
Popovich, Bolen, Vargas and
Nelson.
The final two Medford runs
in the ninth inning were manu
