Medford's Rogues exploded
tnr three runs in the eighth in
ninB last night after LaVerre
Hprrmann had hurled near per-
iM hall to hold the Willows
r-nrrfinals at bay and the local
Far West league club copped its
ir.t uli-inrv in nine games, this
im hv 5 to 2.
Thu nonular Central Point
youth limited the Cards to seven
hits and two unearned runs as
he rana ud his 10th victory
.oalrnt five defeats in 1950,
Except in the first and eighth
innings Herrmann never was in
serious trouble, although leadoff
mpn in the second and sevemn
frames got hits but never got
beyond second base. A nifty
double play from Herrmann to
Haddock to Cooney stopped one
Card rally.
Freeman Geit Three
Church Freeman, Medford's
iur rpnterfielder. rapped out
three line hits in four trips to
further indicate he will be a
tough batter to get out. He also
made a nice running catch at
his knees of a sinking line drive
to the fifth.
The Rogues' three winning
runs in the eighth inning started
as Don Williams walked, went
to third as Bob Haddock reached
first on an error and scored as
Johnny Popovich singled to left
eenter. Milt Martin and Lloyd
Jones reached on fielder's
choices and each scored as Jack
Cooney lined a single to left
center.
The hit by Popovich was a
beauty and caught Willows com
pletely off guard. The Cards
third baseman and first base
man had pulled way in on the
infield grass expecting a bunt
and the shortstop was covering
second base very close when Pop
ovich grounded the ball through
the infield about where the
shortstop would play.
Firit Time Here
The Rogues had tried this play
several times in games played
here but each time it missed fire
for one reason or another. On
the road Medford had had more
success.
Medford picked up one run in
the first stanza when Russ
Stuart walked, went to third as
Freeman lined a single to left

Lt. Gov. William T. Carroll of

night and saw his son, Jimmy, in

wore a fielder's mitt in his hip

"On my way to practice with

Jimmy replied.

standard-sized playing field. The
diamond Is tailored to fit young
lungs and young legs.
The distance between home
plate and the pitcher's box is 40
feet, four inches, instead of 60
feet. The run between bases has
been cut to junior size and the
barrier or spot where a chap
can connect for a home run is
only 180 feet.
The kids this year are beating
their young brains out.
There will be a Little league
world series August 23 to 26 at
Williamsport, Pa.
Col. W. H. (Cappy) Wells, who
is plugging the league, told me
all about it.
Started in 1938
He said the Little league start
ed in 1938. The kids pay no
dough but if a sponsor wants to
get into the swim he puts up a
couple of hundred bucks for uni
forms and he has a team on his
hands. Then he has to get a local
volunteer to manage the boys.
The U. S. Rubber company is
putting in a hunk of the overall
dough, too.
The various leagues locally
at least operate something like
the big leagues, except they work
on a point system instead of a
dollar system. .
Say in Cleveland, 36,000 theo
retical points are pitched into a
pool. So many points for a play
er. A pitcher with a 15-1 record
might command top points and
so on down the line.
According to Cappy, the per
formance has proved an interest
ing experiment in democracy.

Argue Game
Action on the protest f led by
the Roseburg Chiefs against the
Central Point Studs over post-
ponment of the scheduled South
ern Oregon league baseball game
between the two teams last Sun
day was still to be acted upon
by the league directors as of to
day.
The Roseburg team alleges
that the Central Point manage
ment phoned the Chiefs mana
ger Saturday noon saying can
celing the game because it had
rained for 18 hours at Central
Point and showers were predict
ed for the Sabbath.
According to Roseburg reports
the Chiefs manager, Earl Sar
gent, tr ed to get the game mov
ed to Roseburg but the Central
Point management vetoed the
idea.
Secretary J. Q. Adams of the
semi-pro league is reported to
have suggested that Roseburg
file a protest with his office. The
Roseburg manager believes that
Central Point used the weather
as an excuse whereas lack of two
players was the real reason.
