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. Second hand info

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

high school.

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. This
loss, if there is war with Russia

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,"
