SfffifS Fanfare By DICK JEWETT -Mall Trlbunt Sports Editor News that the Cheney Studi now have Medford's Far West Baseball league franchise is particularly welcome because of the hope it brings for the future of professional baseball here. The franchise was included in the "package" in which the semi-pro club took over the fac ilities of Rogue Valley Baseball at the county fairgrounds ball park. A bill of sale on the trans action has been filed with the Jackson county clerk. The prop erty was signed over by R, W. Frame, president, of Rogue Val ley Baseball. Transfer of the franchise means that the Studs under President Ben Cheney, who is also president of the Cheney Oregon Lumber company, can, if the club sees fit and con ditions warrant, make the switch into pro ball. This possi bility is qualified by another if and when. The Far West league suspended operations for this year and the prospects for 1953 are unknown. i We sincerely hope for revival of the circuit. RIGHT STEP We hesitate to make re marks that might be con strued as slaps at these who have worked hard In past years to make a go of pre ball here. But we feel It is a step in the right direction to have the franchise in the hands of the lumberman and his or ganisation. Such ownership points to ward more eiiicient and har monious operation- It's well known that too many cooks can spoil the pot Cheney has a deep interest In baseball and has consider able experience with team op-, oration. He has been willing to spend a siseable amount of money each year to field and maintain a team. We would like nothing better than to see the Studs eventually make the swing to pro participation. PREP FOR SEASON At the moment the Cheney organization is preparing for its second season in the semi-pro Southwestern Oregon league. The club previously announced plans to renovate the fair It gaounds -ball park. Legal en I ; tanglements up to now have pre t vented work. H Cheney has reported lnten- ' tions of fielding a strong team h ibf Medford. There are already i: j j... . u S Paul Gehrman, Alex McDonald, 1 Clarence Mellbye, Frank Roe j landt and Clyde Blevins on the 1 roster. Several high school and ': college stars will be added when school is out. I MUST KEEP INTEREST 1 It will be a task of the semi- I pro Studs to keep Interest in baseball alive and to build up J that interest to facilitate the return of pro ball to the com- I munity. That can be done by fielding a topnotch team I which will keep fans coming I out. i It's support at the gate that keeps a club, at least a pro club, operating. A semi-pro aggregation of good caliber and color should be able to stimulate fan enthusiasm and gate receipts and thereby en courage the return of the pro fessional sport. PLAN 11-MAN Three Jackson county B high schools, which have been play ing six-man football, will make rthe switch to Il-man grid comp etition next fall. They are Tal ent, Jacksonville and St. Mary's of Medford.

MEAT LOCKER at Shady Cove SUNNY SIDE SERVICE STATION at Ruch REPUBLICAN UrAIVMIAOTEQC 2 Play Off In Golf Open Portland U.B Tacoma's Chuck Congdon and Portland's Bob Duden were scheduled to play off for the Oregon Open Golf champion ship Thursday. They were all tied up at 282 at the end of the regulation 72 holes of play Wednesday, Congdon shot a hot final nine in 30 strokes to gain the tie with Duden. Three-Way Tie Dick Yost of Portland finished in a three-way tie for third place at 28S along with Harold West, Pendleton, and Ray Honsberger, Clarkston, Wash. Harry Umbinettl, Seattle, had 286; Frank Newell, Tacoma, 287, and Glenn Spivey, Longview, had an even par of 288. George Harrington, Medford shot a 302 for the 72 holes in the Oregon Open Golf tourney this week at Portland. Al Wil liams, pro at Medford's Rogue Valley Country club, tabulated 134 for 36 holes but did not qualify for Wednesday play. is that Prospect is undecided but probably won't enter in the 11-man game because of lack of manpower. None of the three schools which have made the decision for 11-man will have great man power, however. At Jackson ville where the change was ap proved by the school board this week, a turnout of approxi mately 29 lads is anticipated. For St. Mary's its a matter of going along with the others in order to provide rivalry for its athletes. BETTER SCHEDULING The four B schools Men tioned were the only ones in the county six-man loop last fall and played a home and home schedule among them selves. Under the 11-man plan the schools will not have to travel far to get competition out of their own circuit. They can schedule the small A schools in Jackson county. Two schools which would have formed natural loop with Talent, Jacksonville and St. Mary's, move frum B into A classification next fall. They pre Phoenix and Rogue River. The B schools under the new program may not reach the heights in stale rivalry that Jacksonville did last year or Talent the previous three years. But more beys will get to see more action in any given game. That in Itself is a worthy reason for making the change. Additional Talent Show Winners Named Additional winners in the amateur talent contest staged last Saturday night by the Mar ine Corps league were an nounced today. ' Taking first prize in the Jun ior section was Paulette Chinn, five-year-old daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Paul Chinn, 718 West Second street. Paulette gave a tap dance number. Second. were the Ayres twins, Judy and Jackie, and Jerry Chennault, all seven years old, and third went to Sondra Hanv ilton and Paula Seott, also sev en, the announcement said. Both the second and third place wln ners were dance numbers. Patsy White, first place win ner in the senior division, U a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. White, 311 Howard street, and a sophomore in Medford senior high school. Meeting! - Morse Hopes Supreme Court Will Clarify Steel Seizure Issue Hope that the United States Supreme Court through its de cision on the steel controversy will settle the long debated issue on the, extent and limitation of the president's power to act to protect the security of the coun try was expressed here Wednes day by U. S. Sen. Wayne Morse. Oregon s junior senator spoke at the luncheon meeting of Med ford Kiwanians at Rogue Valley Country club. He was on the first lap of a tour through the state in attempt to persuade vot ers not to ballot for him in the primary for the Republican presi dential nomination. Morse spoke at Southern Ore gon college yesterday afternoon and at Coos Bay last night. Historic Debate The senator brought out that the limitations on the executive power of the president under the constitution have been subject of historic debate and have never been defined by the supreme court. He declared that the court has avoided decision on the is sue in the past. Morse's talk centered around the steel controversy which he termed "probably the hottest issue in the country." He criti cized President Truman, saying the president made a great mis take not stepping into the pic ture before the "11th hour." The senator warned, however, that seizure by one man is dan gerous if Congress has no check. He mentioned the so-called Cor- win theory concerning the presi dent's executive power, that, even though the chief executive may act to protect national se curity, Congress has checking power through legislation, Says "Sad Fact" Nevertheless, it is the "sad fact," according to Morse, that Congress has not passed such legislation before. Morse spoke of his efforts at seizure legislation and his ores ently ro-offered bill. He said that he yesterday had telephoned an amendment to the bill, which would provide that the president through the department of jus tice can ask a temperary injunc tion before a strike or stoppage. The Taft-Hartley law, since an injunction cannot be obtain ed until after an act, was a worth less scrap of paper in the steel controversy, Morse maintained He declared that there should have been legislation to stop the cooling of the furnaces. A law is needed in emergency cases to nip a stoppage at the beginning he said. Mandatory Law Needed It should be the duty of the president where, there is a stoppage, Morse asserted, to use the legislation at hand the Taft Hartley law. But he remarked on the need for mandatory legis lation, pointing out that the Taft Hartley act was only permissive or discretionary. Morse reported that Secretary of Defense Robert Lovett had submitted an affidavit to the president that if the furnaces of the steel mills cooled, it would take two to three weeks to get them into operation again.

Sixth and Fir - Since 1908 - Phone 2-6251 within a year, would be trans lated Into the loss of several hundred lives, Lovett maintain ed, according to Morse. There was not a line on Lov ett's point in the decision of David A. Pine, federal district judge, Morse said. Judge Fine ruled that the president did not have "unlimited" power to seize industry. If the Supreme Court does not avoid the issue it will have to come to grips with the question on whether Lovett was right, Morse remarked. Seeks Report The senator said he would never be satisfied until the "big brass" comes before congres sional committees and report there is air superiority in Europe and Asia. If Lovett is right, ac cording to Morse, this country will pay a price on its own soil and will get out of Korea. Morse spoke of his obligation to Oregonians of leadership in the Senate and said he had no intention of playing politics with economic and military security. At Southern Oregon college Morse appealed for rededication of spiritual values and affirma tion of principle above expedi ency in government. He said that legislators must act more closely in accordance to views of their constituents, but do so only if such action is consistent with the public good. The senator places the blame on the individual citizen for lowering of ethical standards in government, pointing to the number who seek selfish inter ests or rights not legally theirs. Morse warned that Americans must protect the freedom to choose their representatives and not let conventions, caucuses and courthouse gangs run the show. He pleaded for sound capital' ism hitched to sound democracy," Astoria, Lakeview Join in Time Change BY UNITED PRESS Astoria and Lakeview will move their clocks ahead one hour Sunday to join the voluntary movement to adopt daylight time in Oregon. , Warrenton was expected to fol low the action of Astoria.
