For the past two week-ends the Studs, under the tutorage of veteran manager Hoosier Hof fard, have been working out with stress placed on hitting. They play Southern Oregon college at 2 p.m. Sunday at Ash land. The Medford Cheney Studs have been performing success fully In and out of Medford for the past four years. In 1948 and 1950 the Studs were champions of the Southern Oregon Base ball league and second in this same league In 1949. Last year the Studs placed second in the Southwestern Oregon Baseball league better known as the Saw dust league. The Studs do not have a com plex baseball organization but are headed by Ben Cheney, pres ident, who also patrols the third base coaching box. The team manager is Paul (Hoosier) Hof fard, veteran ball player and home run hitter who' paced many a Medford team with a victory by this long ball hitting in his playing days. These two plan to give the Medford and Rogue River Val ley fans good baseball this year and the coming years. They have built their ball club up from the bottom to a top contender with definite improvements each year. Their team will be com posed mostly of local players with a few additional outsiders. The Cheney Stud organization plans to give Medford publicity with a hustling ball club that will please all the Medford base ball fans and bring them out to the ball games.

They think it is much more likely that the Democratic Con vention, which starts in Chicago July 21, will turn into a free-for-all fight for the presidential nomination. One Ballot Unseen While the Democrats are not expecting a repeat of their 1924 convention with Its more than 100 ballots, neither do they ex pect a one-ballot nomination which has been the rule in the past four national conventions. Including favorite sons, it now appears that as many as 10 or more names may go before the Chicago convention. On the basis of present indica- Tacoma Plane Crash Kills Three Persons Tacoma (U.R) Three persons were dead and another ir criti cal condition Friday after their Stinson light plane crashed in flames Thursday night, narrow ly missing three children who were playing in the yard of their horn a. The victims were Willis Jones, 42; his son, Jean Paul Jones, VA and Bob Joslyn, 40. The pilot, Richard Dexter, 35, suffered compound fractures of the leg, second and third de gree burns, and multiple bruises and lacerations. The plane crashed while at tempting a landing at Sky Har bor airport on the north out skirts of the city. The craft had just taken off and was circling back toward the field when it suddenly veered, struck a power line and burst into flames. It fell to earth in the yard of the E. A. Brown home. Dead line Sunday Classlfleda la .1 noon Saturdaya tlons, Democrats are speculating that it is unlikely that any can didate will have more than a quarter of the 1,230 delegates on the first ballot; Kefauver Seen in Front One usually well - informed party official believes that Sen. Estes Kefauver (D.-Tenn.) will be the front-runner on the first ballot with about 325 delegates, followed by Sen. Richard B. Rus sell (D.-Ga.) with something short of 300. Kefauver faces heavy resist ance from organization Demo crats in many states. Similarly, Russell may have trouble gain ing ground because Northern Democrats oppose his leadership of the Southern fight against civil rights legislation. The names of Mutual Security Administrator W. Averell Harri man, Vice-President Alben W. Barkley, Sen. Robert S. Kerr (D. Okla.), Gov. G. Mennen Williams of Michigan, Sen. Brlen McMa hon (D.-Conn.), and Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D.-Minn.) also are ex pected to be placed in nomination.
