Due to much Interest in Klamath Falls as woll as Med ford a large crowd is expected. Monday night at 7:45 at the local park the Rogues will open a four-game series with Ray Perry and his Redding Browns, currently on top of the league standings. By Hank Green Baseball fans who treked out to the fairgrounds park Friday night saw one of the best played and pitched games from a Med ford standpoint that has been put on this season by the Rogues in the Far West league with the local boys copping a 4 to 2 vic tory. Jack Lloyd on the mound for the Rogues handcuffed the Klam ath Falls Gems effectively after a shiiky start with only one man getting as far as second base after the first inning in which the Gems had combined two walks and a long double for its only runs. Strikes Out Nine The big local righthander struck out nine, walked four and gave up but four scattered hits. Only in the Klamath half of the ninth did the Gems threaten after the first stanza. Medford in the meantime lash ed out seven hits and was aided by three of Klamath s misplays in making four runs. In the second innintr Don Wil liams wont all the wav to second when Shortstop Snuffy Sahlberg threw his ground ball by the iirsi Daseman lor an error. Wil liams went to third when Pitch er Gene Shirtledge tried to pick him off second and scored when Milt Martin reached first on a misplay. Rogues Score Pair Two Rogues' runs, scored In the third stanza when with one out Johnny Popovich drew a walk and scored as Bob Had dock rapped a triple Into tight center. Haddock in turn crossed the plate when with two out Al Bolen grounded a single into right center field. The boys manased bv Tnmmv Nelson pushed over their fourth and last run of the game in the fifth frame as Jack Cooney open ed with a walk, went to second as Popovich singled to left, stole tnira and scored after Williams had flied deep to right. Some heads-up base running in the eighth Inning by Bill Adams gave the lefthanded cen tcrfleldcr a double Instead of a one-baser Into right center. He saw the fielders were slow in picking up the ball and kept right on going after rounding first base. Martin's Tough Luck Martin had tough 1'ick in the hitting department with a vici ous liner to the shortstop In the tourth inning, another to center field In the sixth and a drive that almost knocked down the pitcher In the eighth. Medford lost a run In the verv first Inning when Rus.i Stuart drew a walk and was forced at second by Cooney. Coonev went to third on Haddock s sharp line single to right but when he tried to score he was called out at the plate. Most fans, Rogues' players and press box people thought Coonev was safe by a considerable mar gin, however. Klamalh AR R H PO T.

BARTLE GETS ONE HIT Dick Bartle. former first base man for the Medford Nuggets and now a regular with the Sa lem Senators of the class B Western International league, whacked out one hit in three tries Friday night and figured in n double plav as Salem lost H to 1 to Tri Cily. m Ml Petitions are out among Med ford baseball fans to bar homers in any ball park the Rogues play in and especially in Redding and Willows, where the fences are somewhat nearer home plate than they are at the fairgrounds ball orchard. ' Seriously, though. It has been homeruns often three in a game at those two California cities that have beaten the Rogues. Last week the Browns did the trick in three straight games at Redding and homers were largely responsible for Medford losses. The Rogues do not prstsnd to have homerun batting pow er, to spare, especially in the local park where some of the longest distances in the league exist to the barriers. Two or three on the local club are capable of homers but aren't what one would call "danger ous." Incidentally, don't blame the players too much when a "steal" goes haywire because more often than not it wasn't intended as a stolen base at all. What we mean is that usually with a man on first base or even on second if the set-up, is right, me Daiter is given tne sign to bunt as a sacrifice or to hit be hind the runner on a hit and run play to advance the runner a base or two. Any manager can tell you that not only will a young player miss the sign to bunt or hit but often will miss the ball itself, thus leaving the runner on his way to a base and without the aid of even a foul ball that would pre vent a plav from beine made on him. Manager Tommy Nelson of the Rogues tells of how one lo cal player missed a bunt sign in the first game of last Sun day's double-header and how another local boy was caught "stealing" because of that mis take. One of the most popular and toughest trapshoots in Oregon is scheduled today at the Medford Gun club when the 17th annual Mail Tribune shoot is held start ing at 9 a. m. As a matter of fact the whole week-end of activities at the lo cal club probably will attract 100 or more scattergunncrs from western Oregon and northern California. Some of the best traoshooting talent in this section of the Pa cific coast will be on hand so if you have some time today why not drop out to the gun club grounds west of the Crater Lake highway at Four Corners. Every one will be welcome, young and old. Opening of the Hawthorne park swimming pool scheduled ! lodav at 2 n. in. will herald a ni?w high in local recreation for young ! ana nin or meotora. The city has made a fine ; start toward a tull time recre ation program and park areas in which to conduct it. Per haps in another year or two a playground program such as most cities conduct can be opened at that and other city parks or schools. Playground programs for kids are not just using swings, see saws, swimming and wading OFANYFUU-SMOPFN CAR DELIVERED IN MEDFORD $1 76200 PLUS SALES TAX Iht Ntw rr pools and the like but also usu ally consist of classes in carving and bead work, baseball or soft ball, races, folk dancing and the like.
