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.
