With this brief ceremony the

Wakefield Comeback
Gets Encouraging Start
Tulsa, Okla. (U.R) Dick
Wakefield's "last-chance come
back" with the New York Giants
was off to an encouraging start.
The one-time $52,000 bonus
beauty, often described as one
of the most talented and least
ambitious players of his age,
made his debut with the Giants
by hammering a pinch-hit double
in the sixth inning of their game
with the Cleveland Indians
Wednesday.
Manager Leo Durocher said he
would try Wakefield in left field,
then in right, "and just move him
around and look him over."
Medford Baseballers
1st Loop Fray Friday
Medford high school's baseball
nine opens its district No. 6 A-l
campaign Friday on its home
field. The Black Tornado takes
on Klamath Falls at 3:15 p.m. ,
There will be an admission
charge to the game.
Medford will be launching
what amounts to a district title
defense. Last year the Tornado
was champion of a district made
up of four large Class A high
schools and five small Class A
schools and went to the state
tourney. This year the large and
small A schools in this area are
in separate districts. The champs
of the two districts will play-off
for a state tourney berth.
Klamath Falls and Grants Pass
are the only . other schools in
Medford's district this season.
Medford will go into the Fri
day contest as favorite. Klamath
Falls has lost twice to Grants

a certainty" and that details of
the plan probably would be an
nounced after the next meeting.
From now on I feel most swim
mers will try the hard way-
England to France," he said.
Burwill's optimism reflected
the buoyancy of this channel
port's unique industry despite
last summer's near-death blow,
when 18 people swam the chan
nel in a single day, pilots, boat
men, grease sellers, dieticians
and others who had been thriv
ing on channel aspirants saw the
end of an era.
Feat Mad Race
"But after thinking it over
all winter," Burwill said, "we've
decided that all it did was take
the France-to-England swim out
of the class of a feat and make
it a race. We think lots of people
will come over just to try to
lower the record of the Egyptian
Hamad who crossed in 12 hours
and 12 minutes.
"The England to France swim,
tougher because of the rough
tides, is still a feat, however.
Only a handful of people have
done it."
"Besides," he added even more
cheerfully, "if you were the kind
of man or woman who wanted to
swim the channel you wouldn't
be satisfied until you have done
it both ways."
Burwill already has been ap
proached to act as pilot for half
a dozen aspirants. Before com
mitting himself he is waiting
word from Florence Chadwick
of San Diego, Calif., whose wom
en's France to England record
of 13 hours and 20 minutes was
beaten last year by Britain's
burly, blonde Brenda Fisher in
12 hours and 42 minutes.
"Florence swam on a bad
day," Burwill said, "and she
wants to recapture the record
for the United States."
TROUT RECORD GOOD
Chattanooga, Tenn. (U.R)
Veteran Dizzy Trout, slower but
still as resourceful a pitcher as
there is, seemed certain to rotate
effectively as one of the Detroit
Tigers' starting four. Trout made
his spring record 4-0 Wednesday
as he pitched seven innings in
Detroit s 9-3 victory over Chat
tanooga.

Medford. Only one of the Grants

This year's Klamath crew Is
built around four lettermen. Top
returnees are Ron Owings. third
baseman, and George Hanson,
first base. The others are Ralph
Carroll, pitcher, and Kenny
Young, catcher. The Pels have
yet to hit the win column. They
have lost twice to Redding. Calif.,
in addition to Grants Pass.
Either Carroll or Freddy Fie

Derald Wooton is scheduled to

some doubt today as to whether
Medford Second Baseman Curt

He was hit in the head by a

Covey Hurt,
Coach Bob Newland reported
that Covey sustained a tibia dis
location while broad jumping
and that the bone pinched a
lower leg nerve. The injured leg
will be in a cast for some time,
Newland said, and Covey is lost
for the season. '
Covey was state B dash champ
performing for Phoenix last year
and was regarded as the top
sprinter in southern Oregon this
season. He was being counted
upon to pick up a sizable num
ber of points for Medford in the
1952 campaign.
Loss of Covey undoubtedly
will mean more duty for Sprinter
Duane Goodman. He is expected
to take Covey's spot in the 880
yard relay in the meet here this
week-end. Goodman had the sec
ond best time this week in the
220-yard dash. Other leading
Medford dash men are . Dennis
Davis, Frank Baize and Bill
Reddin.
Broad Jumper Norm Hanscom
is also lost for the Rogue relays,
Newland stated. He has the flu.
The annual relay tussle is
scheduled for the Medford oval
Saturday afternoon with Grants
Pass, Klamath Falls, Ashland
and Crater invited to participate
with Medford. The Tornado has
won the meet two years in a row
and can gain the Medford Ki
wanis club trophy permanently
with a third triumph.
Grants Pass is expected to pro
vide the greatest competition
for Medford. -
Relays are planned in six run
ning events and three field
events. There will be individual
participation in other field tests.
