IX MTDFORD (ORECJOrT) MAIL TRIBUKB Monday. May . 18 MEDFORDvWTMBUW Roseburg Tops Studs 3-1 for Series Split Roseburg'a Umpqua Chiefs tayed in the thick of the scrap for the Southwestern Oregon league baseball pennant Sunday by tripping the Medford Cheney Studs 3 to 1 at the fairgrounds park here. Sunday triumph gave the Chiefs a week-end split with the Studs and their third win against one loss. For the Studs the Saturday night 6 to 1 decis ion gave them their first win In the circuit and got them out of the cellar. Drain continued unmarred at the head of the loop as Roy Hel ser hurled a two-hit 1 to 0 shut out over Coquille Saturday and Jerry Cade chucked the Black Sox to a 4 to 2 win over the Log gers on Sunday. Bandon, also unbeaten, kept its first place deadlock with Drain by beating Brookings 11 to 1 and 2 to 1 in a Sunday doublebill. Drain and Bandon each have won four. Runt Unearned Two unearned runs provided Roseburg with the margin of victory over Medford on Sun day. Chucker Derald Wooton, Medford high senior making his first appearance of the season with the Studs, allowed only four hits but three of these and two of the five walks he issued figured in the scoring, along with a pair of infielder's muffs. In the third stanza Barney Koch of the Chiefs got to first base when his grounder was mis handled by Bill Selsor, Studs' shortstop. Al Simpson walked then George Sanders doubled, coring Koch. Chief hurler Mickey Coen drew a base on balls In the fifth Inning, John Keller sacrificed him to second, then Marvin Cart wright, Studs' second sacker, erred on Koch's grounder. Simp son hit a ground ball that forced Koch out at second but Coen tal lied on the play. In the seventh frame Koch singled and Simpson tripled for one run. Score in Second The Studs' lone marker was scored in the second frame when Cartwrlght hit, Norm Luclch sacrificed and Clarence Mcllbye singled. Coen the winning hurler gave up seven hits but, to equalize his performance with Wooton's, walked only two. Coen fanned five and Wooton nine. The two throwers renewed a rivalry that began In high school competi tion. The Roseburg tosser Sunday was backed by errorless support that Included one double piny. Hal Zurcher, out in centerficld, helped stem a possible Stud ral ly in the ninth inning with a one-handed stab, after a consid erable run of Lucich'a long fly that would have been good for extra bases. Studs Tilly On Saturday the Studs got two runs In the third stanza on an error, a sacrifice by George Gitzen and double by Paul Gehrman. They tallied twice again in the fourth on hits by Frank Roeland and Snuffy Smith, a wild pitch and an er ror. Consecutive hits by Moose Blevins, Alex McDonald and Roelandt, a stolen base and an error were responsible for two additional runs In the fifth. Dusky Dave Mann, Roseburg pitcher was relieved In the fifth but all runs were charged to him. Roseburg scored in the fouth. The three Seattle additions to the Studs, Herb Karpel, John Penso and Pete Bianchi, did not come to Medford during the week-end. It was learned that Oliey would be Ineligible for the Roseburg series since they were signed only last Monday. In games next week-end Med ford plays at Coquille, Bandon at Roseburg and Coos Bay-North Bend at Brookings. nox SCORE: (Sunday Game): Roieburc AB Keller, H 4 Koch. 2b 4 Simpson, c ...... 2 Sanders, 3b 3 Forrell, lb 4 Baker.
