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.

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

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.

(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.

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." ...

Glendale 1 to 0. The only run
was in the first inning. Bob
Fasel doubled, stole third and
romped home on a line single
by Ken Trautman.
