Brookings Medford baseball fans will see the first barnstorming team to appear here this season when the House of David nine encounters the Medford Cheney Studs on Tuesday at the fairgrounds ball park. Starting time will be 8 p. m. The Davids, known for their beards as well as their playing ability over a period of more than 30 years, have made a large numer of appearanaces already this season in the Northwest and reportedly have been drawing well. Roster of the club leads off with Manager George Anderson, with the club since 1928 and ringleader of the famous pepper game vith which bewhiskered gang entertains fans wherever it travels. Anderson plays second base. Five pitchers are listed, Chas. Liska, Bon Mauel, Alex Balias, Terry Polaski and Lefty West- phal. Other members of the traveling baseball squad are Bill Brady, centerfield; Frank wil liams, shortstop; Dick Drain, third base; Morley Cato, right field; Chuck Chapetta, left field; Bob Mitchell, first base, and Ray Chew, catcher. The baseball club, organized in 1914 by the Israelite House of David colony of Benton Harbor, Mich., started making extensive road trips in 1919. With excep tion of the war years 1942 and through 1945, they have had a team on the road each year since 1919. The Davids have tried to main tain a strong and hustling club and as a result have built up a large following wherever they have been. During the past four seasons the club has played to more than 750,000 pay ing spectators. It is every day a different town for the bearded athletes. Strange faces and new wise cracks are the Davids' daily diet and they love it. Marty Hume, new addition to the Studs' pitching staff is ex pected to see mound duty on Tuesday. The Studs have another date with a traveling club this Fri day. They battle with the Ha vana Cubans at the fairgrounds here. MEDFORD SKIDS Drain was more firmly en Rrain was more firmly en trenched in first place and Med ford skidded into a three way knot for third position as the result of Southwestern Oregon Baseball league activity during the week-end. Coss Bay-North Bend got sole hold on second spot. The Medford Cheney Studs lost twice to Drain, 11 to 2 on Saturday and 4 to 3 on Sunday. Roseburg and Coquille divided, Coquille taking one game 11 to 1 and Roseburg the other 10 to 2. Coose Bay divided with Ban don, winning one fray 5 to 2 but dropping the other 3 to 4. Six errors that helped Drain to eight runs in the second in ning had the most to do with the Studs downfall on Saturday Medford got its only runs in the fourth stanza on hits by Alex McDonald, Snuffy Smith, Moose Blevins and Pete Bianchi and a fielder's choice by Frank Roe- landt. Sunday's game was a humding er with Medford taking a 1 to 0 score in the fifth inning, Med ford going ahead 2 to 1 in the seventh inning and the Black Sox coming back to get a 3 to 2 advantage in the sixth. Med ford knotted the game in the eighth. In the ninth Don Kirsch sing led and advanced on an error and a walk and Harve Storey drove him home with hone away for the Sox' game-winning run. For Medford's fourth inning run, McDonald doubled but was out on Roelandt's fielders choice, Jack Gordon singled and Roe landt scored on an error. In the seventh Smith singled, Bianchi singled and Tom O'Donnell hit a long fly which allows Smith to score. In the eighth frame, Clarence Mellbye and Jack Gordon got bingles and McDonald sacrificed.

Davids Here Tuesday; Two From Bedford Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY Helsinki U.R) Fearless Fraley's facts and figures: Paavo Nurmi, the Flying Finn of a quarter century ago, isn't as fast as he was when he won five Olympic medals, but he's doing much better financially. His haberdashery store is a mecca for visiting Olympic ath letes who go there to see the great track star and stay to buy expensive shirts and neckties but Nurmi is a grumpy man who rarely smiles, says but little and sends the customers away feel ing cheated by their visit . . . Hoop Bug Biles South African athletes reveal that their country has been bit ten by the 'basketball bug. In Durban, for instance, the game was introduced two years ago by a Mormon missionary. They now have 19 teams in two leagues which play in fire hous es, over garages, etc. . . Dr. For rest Phog Allen of Kansas, co coach of the U.S. Olympic team, points out that this parallels the growth of the game in the Unit ed States where it was invented. The U.S. track and field squad was completed with the arrival Dick Mills Stock Auto Race Victor Dick Mills, Grants Pass, rode to -victory in the major event Sunday in the stock car races at the speedway near the airport. He won the 20-lap main. Louis Kurz was a double win ner, taking the trophy dash and the semi-main event. Mills was second in the semi-main. Mishaps kept the wrecker busily employed but no one was hurt. Drivers found the track rough and cracked by the heat. Whaley Second Fred Whaley placed second in the main attraction and Chuck Pendleton was third. Bill Fitzsimmons was third in the semi-main. In the first heat race Whaley was first, Bud Kennedy second and Jess Netherland third. Pen dleton drove home first in the second heat, Whaley was next and Bob Clark took third. Pendleton posted the top trials time, 29.4 seconds. Fox Passes 100 Mark in Bingles Philadelphia U.R) Nelson (Nellie) Fox of the Chicago White Sox is the first' major leaguer to bag 100 hits this year, beating out the Cards' Stan Musial for the honor. Fox got an assist from rain in St. Louis which kept Musial, with 98 hits, idle. But he helped himself plenty by slamming seven hits during a double-header here to run his total away up to 106. Second high man in the American league is Fox's team mate, Eddie Robinson, with 97. BASEBALL COAST LEAGUE ' Oakland 10-2, Portland 8-1. 2nd game 9 innings. San Uiego -I. san ttancuw -u T.o.

Course Not Tough According to America's three marathon hopefuls, the Olmpic hill and - dale course isn't as tough as that over which the Boston marathon is run. The trio, Vic Dyrgall of Fort Lee, N.J., Tom Jones of Philadelphia and Ted Corbett of New York, explained that the first seven miles is virtually level and the last part is over only slightly rolling terrain . . . which -makes that 26-mile, 385-yard event a mere jaunt, hugh? . . . The Finns are friendly people but very few speak English and further complicating matters for visitors is a bus strike which has put Helsinki taxicabs at high premium . . . Prices on the whole are not much lower than in the United States. May Be Weakened John Davis of Brooklyn, the world champion weight lifter who is favored to capture the Olympic heavyweaight title. may not be in top strength. He has been suffering from dysen tery . . . Experts contend that at top strength he probably could break the Olympic record by more than 100 pounds in three lifts if he had larger hands. Jim Fuchs, the former Yale star who holds the world's shot putting record, injured his right hand to go with a taped ankle and a left knee from which the cartilege has been removed? But Coach Brutus Hamilton isn't worried, contending that "Fuchs is better when he has something wrong with him." ...
