1 TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) Rogues, Peaches to Play Here Tonight, One Game Professional baseball will be a big item in the local sports picture today and Monday when the Medford Rogues tackle the Marvsvllle Peaches in a twin bill at 8:30 tonight and in a single game tomorrow at 7:45 at the fairgrounds ball park. The scheduled game between the two teams Inst Friday night was postponed because of Tain and cold. Manager Tommy Nelson of the Rogues said that Bill Francis and Bob Smith, both lefthanders, probably would hurl tonight's Far West league games. Should the Peaches use too many left handed batters, the Medford club may use a righthanded pitcher, however. Monday Hurler Unnamed The local player-manager did not indicate who would hurl for the Rogues on Monday evening. Nelson also indicated that he may remove himself from the active player list soon to make room for another veteran hurlor for the Rogues. He has-been bothered for sev eral weeks now by injuries to both ankles which cause him to limp and have kept him out of the lineup. Should he go onto the inactive list, however, he could still manage from the bench but would not play any. Rogun in Fourth The Rogues are in fourth place this morning by at least a half game after Redding defeated fifth-place Rrno in the only Far West game played Friday night. An article in the Marysville Appeal-Democrat last week in dicated the Peacljes are having financial troubles and that Rose burg, Ore., has asked the league to transfer the franchise of the Peaches to that city. Leave on Tuesday Neither league nor Roseburg baseball officials could be con tacted for comment Saturday evening. After Monday night's game the Rogues leave for Willows, Cal., where they open a three game series and then go on to Marysville for four games be fore returning to Medford July 4 for a doubleheader against Reno.
