Newspaper Page TextCheney Studs Skirmish Roseburg At Medford on Saturday, Sunday The Medford Cheney Studs, who want badly to gain the win column in Southwestern Oregon league baseball standings this week-end, today announced the acquisition of reenforcements from the Seattle area. The three new players, who are expected to join the Studs for their games with the Rose burg Umpqua Chiefs at the fair grounds here Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, are Herb Karpel, John Penso and Pete Bianch. Karpel is a veteran coast leaguer who played for Seattle. He possibly will be on the mound for Cheney on Saturday night against the strong Chiefs crew. Infieldert Penso and Bianchl are both infielders. Penso has ben a part time coach of the Seattle Rain iers and Bianchi is a veteran of semi-pro ball in the Seattle area. Medford will take on a re juvenated Roseburg club which will be after its fourth and fifth wins against no setbacks. The Chiefs are piloted this season by a veteran semi-pro manager. Earl Sargent. He has lined up i team with considerable powei at the plate and good defense in the field. Chief pitchers are Dave Mann Mickey Coen and Buzz Sporer Mann, who won coastwide re cognition as a Oregon State col lege grid back last fall, has been ineligible for baseball at the school. Coen is a Roseburg high product. Sporer, a Western In ternational league veteran, is the relief ace. Ex-Dodger Roseburg may have John Far rell, Portlander, at first base; Barney Koch, former Brooklyn Dodger, at second; John Keller, Portlander, at shortstop, and George Sanders at third. Al Simpson is catcher - and Hal Zurcher, Baker and Coreris, outfielders. The Chiefs showed signs of being a hot contender In the fast Sawdust loop when they swept two games in their open ing series with Coquille last week-end. They collected 27 hits while pitchers Mann and Coen gave up just six hits among them. Medford, southpawed into submission last week, has hope of doing better in the hitting de partment this time since the Chief mound staff lacks a left-hander. If Karpel takes to the mound Saturday, Manager Hoos ier Hoffard's choice for starting hurler Sunday will lie between Paul Gehrman and Clarence Mellbye. League Split The Sawdust loop was split down the middle after the open ing series last week. In addition to the sweeps by Drain over Medford and Roseburg over Coquille, Bandon nabbed two games from Coos Bay-North Bend.
