Studs Work
With Stress
On Hitting
The Medford Cheney Studs
with little ballyhoo so far this
spring have started in earnest to
build their 1952 club.
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.
Ducks Blast

three Idaho pitchers in the first
frame. Buck Shiller gave up

the side. He then went on to
pitch a creditable game.
Jim Livesay, the Webfoots'
leftficlder, paced Oregon batters
with four for five, including two
doubles. The Vandals' Flip Kelff
ner and Mel Brown paced Idaho
at the plate with two hits each.

Demos' Hopes Narrow
For Orderly Conclave
Washington (U.R) Democrat
ic Party leaders have all but
abandoned hope for an orderly
four-day national convention.
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.

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.

tlons, Democrats are speculating
that it is unlikely that any can

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

Democrats oppose his leadership
of the Southern fight against
civil rights legislation.
