Medford Rogues to their only win over Klamath Falls last week Fiiday, was nominated to hurl for the local Far West league team tonight when the Rogues meet the Redding Browns at the fairgrounds park at 7:45. Single games are also slated with Manager Ray Perry and the Browns tomorrow and Thursday nights. By Hank Green Along with the move to elimi nate front rows of seats in churches and auditoriums be cause no one sits there, local baseball fans plan to do away with first innings in baseball games and maybe lengthening the game another inning or two to make up for this elimination. If it hadn't been for a six-run first inning last night the Med ford Rogues might have won a 8 to 5 victory over the league leading Redding Browns instead of dropping a 11 to 6 decision at the fairgrounds. Rogues Rally Late The Rogues rallied In the ninth inning for three runs and if the game had gone another inning or two the local pros might have built up more of a score and a win. Manager Ray Perry of the Browns clouted a homerun over the Eacls transfer sign in left cen ter with no one on board in the sixth Inning but the hardest blow of the game was First Basemar Bob Thompson's tremendnu' drive over the centerfield score board in the fifth. This was one of five that have gone over that barrier in the his tory of the fairgrounds with two of them cominR off the bats of Medford Nuggets' Bill Pinckard last year. It is 3B4 feet to the base of the fence at that point and Thompson's drive was still rising as it went over with one man on base. Ceatley Bad Shoulder Glean Geatley, obviously both ered by a bad shoulder, started for the Rogues but gave way to LaVerre Herrmann with none out and the bases full in the first Inning. Herrmann pitched good ball and the game was much more interesting than the score might Indicate. Singles by Sandy Sandberg, Ken MeGce, Don Gigll and Pitch er JkTike Dillon, walks to Perry and Rum Rosberg, Ernie Chou kalos' double and an error gave Redding those six runs. Medford threatened In every Inning but the first, fourth and eighth. In the second inning the Rogues put the first two men on ' se with no one out but could not score. Three other times Med ford had men on bBse with two nut hut did little. Two runs for the Rogues In the third inning were made on singles by Russ Stuart, Jack Coonev and Milt Martin and a long fly to right by Bob Had dock. They picked up another in the fifth stanza on a walk to Cooney, Haddock's double and Williams' grounding out. The three Medford runs In the ninth were manufactured on sin gles by Williams. Martin and Stuart, a walk to Al Bolen and wild pitch by Dillon. Stuart kept up his hefty hit ting of recent games by pound ing out three hits in six trips to the plate. In the last three games he has been hitting at a .555 pace. Iteflrtlni An R II TO A r.

W-'i-: Pick Savold To Win Bout Over British London, June 6 UR) Blond Lee Savold, wily ring veteran from Paterson, N.J., ruled a slight 7 to 5 choice to beat Bruce Woodcock of Britain tonight in their 15-round bout for partial recognition as world's heavy weight champion. Excited British fight fans who haven't seen a heavyweight title fight in 42 years were ex pected to fill all of the 50,000 seats at White City stadium and their sentimental betting might move the odds even closer to even money when the first bell rings. The winner will be hailed as the new champion, successor to the retired Joe Louis, only in Britain and Europe. Recognition was, of course, withheld by the United States National Boxing association which already has crowned Ez zard Charles of Cincinnati, C, champion in the 47 United States states it rules. New York state has so far recognized no new champion. Savold had a slight weight ad vantage at today's weigh in, scal ing iaz pounds to lBOVi for Woodcock. Citation Due In Handicap Albany. Cal..

Because of his unanimous 15 round decision over Villemain of France at the municipal stadium last night, brown-skinned Rob inson of New York has the as surance of the National Boxing association that he will get a shot at the 160-pound title before September 28. A very small part of that crown now belongs to him, since last night's bout was regarded by the Pennsylvania state boxing commission as a title fight. Two officials of the NBA Commissioner Abe J. Greene and President Fred Saddy repeated the NBA's edict today that the winner of the title fight between Champion Jake LaMotta and ex Champion Rocky Graziano at New York on June 28 must de fend against Robinson within 90 days. Villemain. c a 1 1 n e 1591& pounds to Sugar's 155, marched after the retreating Robinson in every round like a determined bulldog; but it was Robinson who landed the most blows and threatened at least three times to tag rugged Robert with the first knockout of his career.

Bob Chesnes Moved Down Pittsburgh, June 5 (U.R) Bob Chesnes, the once-cocky Pittsburgh pitcher, left for New Orleans of the Southern associ ation today much quieter and more determined than when he came to the Pirates in a $100,000 deal two years ago. The 29-year-old right-hander, who was optioned to the Double A club yesterday while Pitts burgh brought up 20-year-old Vernon Law to take his place, is going down to the minors al most at his own request. "I am willing to go back to the minors," he told Manager Billy Meyer, 'where I can work my arm back in shape. 1 would like to remain in the Pittsburgh organization because I think I can come back later and help the Pirates." Chesnes. bothered by a sore arm, had a three-and-three re cord with the Buccaneers this season. In 1948, the Pirates purchased the swaggering hur- ler from San Francisco of the Pacific Coast League for $65,000 in cash and four players valued at $35,000. Tacoma Wins Score, 10-4 By United Press All was supposed to be quiet on the Western International league front last night. But Ta coma and Spokane decided to make up one of their games that had been rained out earlier in the season. The Indians probably wish they hadn't. Although Spokane outhit the league leaders 15-14, they don't pay off on those figures. Taco ma walked off the field with a 10 to 4 victory, six runs coming in the last inning when they shelled Rookie Jim Holder from the mound. The win put Tacoma 714 games head of the pack.
