By Hank Green Take away last night's sixth inning and add two or three lo cal hits when men were on base and the Medford Rogues prob ably would have come through with their first victory of this series over the Redding Browns instead of losing 7 to 5 at the fairgrounds.

June 8 (U.R) A jittery bunch of golfers teed off in the first round of the na tional open today, skeptical of how they might do over the course chosen for the golden an niversary of America's biggest tournament. Practice rounds still left them timorous about the 6,694 yard par 70 layout of the Merion golf course. They (eared the light ning fast greens and the tough rough of the championship east course. A total of 165 was entered with 18 holes scheduled today. 18 tomorrow and the final 36 Saturday. Most of them from Sammy Snead favored at 3'4 to one on down, figured there were many more trouble holes than thev wished to olay. But most differed on which holes might cause the most trouble. Ben Hogan, who thinks his game is "pretty sharp" and who is second choice to fanead in the betting at four to one, figured this might be the greatest three putt tournament in history Grants Pass Coaches Receive Raise in Pay Grants Pass, Ore., June 8 ;U.R) Head athletic coaches in Grants Pass schools have been given pay raises of $130 annually by the school board.
