EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Wednesday, July 16, 1952
Davids Thrash Studs 8 to 3;
Havana Cubans Here on Friday
Their language may seem
strange but the Havana Cubans
reportedly will play Daserjau as
it should be played on Friday
night when they take on the
Medfcrd Cheney Studs at the
fairgrounds ball parK nere.
It will be the second fray of
the week for the Studs against
a barnstorming crew. Game
time is set for 8 o'clock.
Fans, according to the ad
vance raves, will get a big kick
out of the Cubans, for, when
a fray gets good and hot, they
start jabbering in Spanish.
Signals in Spanish
Also, instead of using tricky
signals to instruct runners and
batters, the Cubans come right
out and yell the instructions.
But there is a catch. They do it
in Spanish. Sponsor Ben Cheney
and Manager Hoosier Hoffard
of the Studs will have to have
Spanish dictionaries to keep pace
with the colored visitors.
The Cubans play ball too.
They are fast and are good field
ers. They have good throwing
arms and when they have good
pitching fans get to see some
fancy throwing and fielding.
House of David has met the
Cubans a number of times. The
Davids strategy in opposing the
Cubans has been to "hit 'em
where they ain't."
Clarence Mellbye is slated to
chuck for the Studs on Friday.
A hard - slugging House of
David baseball nine, whammed
out 13 hits and capitalized on
six Stud errors to thump the
Medford Cheney Studs 8 to 3
at the fairgrounds ball park
Tuesday night.
Showing more strength than
the club they fielded here last
summer, the Davids cracked
most of their hits for extra bas
es. They swatted seven doubles
and one triple. Homer Garner
headed the bearded gang with
two doubles and a triple.
As the Davids were having a
big evening at the plate off the
offerings of pitcher Marty Hume,
Hurler Bob Bell held the Studs
to seven well scattered hits, no
more than one an inning except
for two singles in the ninth.
Terry Maddox got the only Med
ford base blow, a three-bagger.
Davids Take Lead
The bewiskered crew took
the lead in the first inning with
two runs on doubles by Frank
"Williams and Alec Ballis and a
single by Garner. Snuffy Smith
in center field made a nifty knee-
high catch of a fly ball to pre
vent further trouble for Med-ford.
In the second the Studs caught
up at 2 to 2. George Sanders,
Crescent City resident playing
shortstop for Medford, got on
base on a walk. He scored on
Maddox's triple and Maddox tal
lied when Bell made a bad throw
to first base trying to pick off
Don Fawcett who had walked.
In the fourth frame the Dav
ids went ahead 4 to 2 on a pair
of runs produced on a single
by Ballis, a double by Bob Mit
chell and two errors. The edge
went to 5 to 2 in the seventh
when Bill Brady walked and
Garner two-baggered him home.
Bags Loaded
Medford loaded the bags in
its batting turn in the seventh.
Roelandt singled, Smith walked
and Fawcett was hit by a pitch.
Roelandt crossed home on Bell's
miff of a rap by Ned Landers.
The Studs had previously load
ed the bags in the fifth inning
but Smith was thrown out at-

Walt Dropo
Ties Record
Washington (U.R) A helpless
Walt Dropo stood in the batter's
box and prayed but his prayers
went unanswered, he sadly ad
mitted Wednesday.
The broad-shouldered Detroit
first sacker, who tied an all-
time major league record, by
rapping out his 12th consecutive
base hit in Tuesday nights sec
ond game against Washington,
wanted that 13th hit badly.
"I felt I could get it, too," he
said. "Why not? I was hitting
the ball real well."
Foul Caught
He picked on Lou Sleater's
first pitch in the seventh inning
and raised a foul near the first
base stands.
"I just stood there and prayed
that the ball would fall into the
stands," he sighed. "I watched
it all the way and my heart sank
when Mickey Grasso, Washing
ton catcher squeezed it for the
out."
Before Grasso made the catch,
Dropo tied the record for 12
straight hits established by
Frank (Pinky) Higgins of the
Red Sox on June 19 and 21,
1938.
one of Bell's pitches got by
Catcher George Anderson. That
retired the side.
The Davids got another two
markers in the eighth on two
basers by Frank Cerillo and
Mitchell and an error. Their fi
nal run was in the ninth on a
double by Garner and single by
Bell.
Line-Up Differs
Medford's line-up was some
what different from the usual
with Sanders at shortstop, Mad
dox in right field, Fawcett at
second base, Tom O'Donnel at
third and Landers relieving
George Gitzen at first base in
the sixth stanza.
Pitcher Marty Hume and
O'Donnell, are both from Sac
ramento Junior college. They
have seen previous action with
the Studs but were making
their Medford debut. It was a
rough night for both. Four er
rors were charged to O'Donnell
Sanders appeared against the
Studs in a Roseburg uniform
early in the season.

hit shutout for Camp White. The
Camp Whiters got only five hits
themselves off Eagle Point's
Lewis but the Eagle Point throw
er issued seven walks and heaved
three wild pitches. Biggest in
ning for Camp White was the
fourth when three runs scored
on three walks, an error, a wild
pitch and a hit by Singler.
Ten In Sixth
The Eagle Point women un
leashed a 10-run barrage in the
sixth inning to bounce Butte
Falls. Bigham got two raps in
the canto and Hickson, Hoffman,
Ballard and Jackson each, one.
It was a close fray until the big
eruption. The score was 6 to 6
at the end of five innings.
