Cubans j Cheney Studs Collide
On Friday; Names Nightmarish
But Performance Should Please
The roster of the Havana Cu
bans baseball team appears to
be the result of a typesetter's
nightmare but despite the
. trouble specators may have in
pronouncing the names of the
players, the prediction is that
the fans will be pleased when
the Cubans perform here on Fri
day against the Medford Cheney
Studs.
Play ball," will be called at
8 p.m.
The lads with the troublesome
names and Spanish lingo have
proved that they can vie with
the best on the road with a rec
ord of 79 wins in 110 games last
year. And they will be out to
show that, .English or Spanish,
the old ball game is the same
in any language.
Ail-Round Star
Juan Armenteros, catcher, is
rated a fine all-around star and
Nicolas Sol, first baseman, is
listed as a flashy mitman and
good hitter. Eugenio Hojas, sec
ond baseman, has the reputation
of a clutch hitter. Julian Lom
billo, third base, is highly re
garded for his arm and hitting
and Aldo Solvent, shortstop is
listed as the mainstay of the
infield.
Among the outfielders Fran
cisco Hcrrera is classed as a
hard hitter being watched by
scouts, Isauro Baltran as a sure
flyhawk and Rafael Ibanez as a
speedster and hustler.
Roberto Leiva is listed as the
star of the pitching staff and
Rafael Guerra as the veteran
with experience in minor loop
ball. Other chuckers are Alberto
Rice, Pedro Vridiveso, and Dag
oberto Nunez. '
Rough on Opposition
When action gets good and
hot the Cubans reportedly start
jabbering in Spanish. Th i s
stream' of words is rough on
opposing players. More than
once rival managers have com
plained, only to be greeted with
more of the same jabbering.
The club is sponsored by the
Kansas City Monarchs who feel
that there are two or three ma
jor loop prospects on the squad.

2 Chinese Teams Allowed
To Take Part
By LEO H. PETERSON
United Press Sports Edilcr
Helsinki U.R) The Interna
tional Olympic committee de
cided Thursday to let both the
Nationalist and Communist Chi
nese teams compete in the 1952
games.
The decision came in answer
to one of the two largest politi
cal problems facing the Olympics
in sport's version of the .cold
war. The other problem
whether to let both East and
West Germany participate will
be decided Friday.
Reds Accused
The IOC voted to let the Reds
into the 1952 games after the
Chinese Nationalist spokesman
had accused the Communists of
kidnapping and perhaps murder
ing the Nationalist Olympic
chairman.
Otto Mayer of the Interna
tional Olympic committee an
nounced the decision. "We
thought that the fundamental
rule of the Olympic games is to
bring the youth of the world to
gether," he said.
It is rated as one of the better
traveling ball clubs in the coun
try. Manager Hoosier Hoffard
probably will send Clarence
Mellbye to the mound against
the Cubans, Alex McDonald may
be on hand for an infield spot.
Both Mellbye and McDonald
have been unavailable for mid
week play because of summer
school attendance.
Thursday. July 17, 1952
in Olympics
The vote was 33 to 20 in fa
vor of admitting both sides.
The IOC also approved fi
nally the selection of Melbourne,
Australia, for the 1956 games.
Name Said Forged
Guhsun Ho, representing the
Chinese Nationalist Committee,
charged. that the Reds had killed
or imprisoned Prof. Sljow Ti
Tung, president of the Chinese
Nationalist Olympic committee.
He said also that the Chinese
Communists had forged Tung's
name to an application for the
Red Chinese to compete.
As for the United States, the
American ledger today, two days
before the formal start of the
games, was balanced at one vic
tory and one defeat.
The victory came in an inter
national political issue when
Avery Brundage, chairman of
the U. S. Olympic committee,
was elected president of the In
International Olympic commit
tee; the defeat when the U. S..
soccer, team, as expected, was
eliminated by Italy, 8 to 0, in
the qualifying round.
MILLERS TO PRACTICE
Manager Ben Fagone of the
Central Point Millers" baseball
aggregation has called a prac
tice for 6 p.m. Friday at the
field . in . Central '. Point. The
Millers, who nicked Glendale 1
to 0 last week-end,' will tussle at
Grants Pass this Sunday. The
Merchants are tied for first place
in the Rogue Valley loop with
Cave Junction.
CUBAN TO APPEAR Juan
Armeneros, above, is catcher for
the Havana Cubans baseball club
which will contend with the Med
ford Cheney Studs at 8 p.m. Fri
day at the fairgrounds ball park
here.

Jewelers Upset Mobilgas
7 to 6 in Softball League
Softball games at the high
school field tonight will be be
tween the .Crater Babes and
Eagle Point girls at 7:30
o'clock and Central Point and
YMCA men's nines.
On Friday the Central
Point girls meet Butte Falls at
7:30 p.m. and the Central
Point men play National
Guard.
Andy's Jewelers became the
whiz kids of the Medford Soft
ball association Wednesday night
when they rose up from a cel
lar position and knocked Mobil
gas from the men's league lead
ership in the biggest upset of
the season.
The Jeweler's, mostly Medford
high boys, won 7 to 6 to rise
to a sixth place deadlock in the
nine team standings- and pull
the Flying Red Horsemen down
to third place in the circuit. It
was the first win in the loop for
Andy's and the second loss in
six games for Mobilgas.
National Guard also ' pulled
out of the cellar to share sixth
spot with the Jewelers when it
topped Crater Lions 6 to 4 Wed
nesday and the Lions slipped
from seventh position to last.
CONTROL TROUBLE
Pitcher Bill Singler of Mobil
gas, who hurled a no-hitter last
week, had control trouble last
night and it contributed consid
erably to the downfall of his
team. He walked 19 men. Singler
and Duke Anderson, Andy's pit
cher, each gave up five hits. The
Jewelers gave their thrower sen
sational support on several oc
casions but their fielding was
, shaky at times.
A four-run rampage in the
sixth frame won the game for
Andy's. The scoring broke up a
3 to 3 knot. Andy's utilized four
walks, singles by Curt Holz
gang and John Niles, a double
by Ned Landers, an error, wild
pitch and a stolen base.
GASMEN THREATEN
Mobilgas almost overtook the
Jewelers in the seventh stanza
with a three run rally on hits
by Wilkinson and Donahoe, three
errors and a wild pitch. It was
a tense inning with fans on
the edges of their seats until
the final out.
Mobilgas got a run in the sec
ond inning on a hit by Ron'Sing
ler and a couple of errors but
Andy's went on top 2 to 1 in
the same canto, utilizing a hit by
Anderson, two walks, a fielder's
choice and two errors for a pair
of runs.
Hardtop Car
Races Friday
Second in the series of weekly
hardtop auto races at the sher
iff's posse grounds on Sage road
will be staged Friday with time
trials set for 7 p.m. and the first
race for 7:45 p.m.
A standard program is antici
pated. That will mean a number
of heat races, a trophy dash, a
special event, a consolation race,
a B main and main event.
25 Entries
Possibly 25 cars will be en
tered Friday from northern Cali
fornia and southern Oregon
communities with a number of
Medford drivers slated to vie.
Among the favorites will be
Frank Danley, Yreka, main
event winner in the California
city two weeks consecutively,
and Bernie Miller, Grants Pass,
victor in the big event here last
week.
The track, slick last, week, is
expected to be in better shape
this time and the usual number
of thrills, spills and smash-ups
are foreseen.
Despite all the bumps and
bangs, hardtop car racing is con
sidered safe. The vehicles are
specially built to stand up under
hard knocks and to protect the
drivers.
Vince Di Maggio struck out
134 times with the Boston
Braves in 1938.

indsJ
The Gasmen knotted the game
on a walk, stolen base, error and
flyout by John Darland in the
third Inning. But Burton Wil
liams of Andy's was equal to the
challenge. He met a fat pitch
squarely and rammed it into
deep left field for a home run
and a 3 to 2 Jeweler's lead. A
hit batter, a wild pitch and
single by Carl Reich enabled
Mobilgas to tie up the fray in
the fifth.
FIELDING GEMS
Fielding 'gems were a long
run and snag of a fly by Niles
of Andy's in the third stanza
and a diving catch in the fourth
by another Jeweler's outfielder,
Ned Landers.
In the other game the Guards
men got their tallies in bunches
of three. The runs in the third
frame came on hits by Matejka,
Dick Phillips and Burns, an er
ror, two fielder's choices and
a wild pitch. Scores in the sixth
were on a hit by Matejka, a
walk, a hit batter and two er
rors. Crater Lions took a 4 to 3 lead
by pushing over all their runs
in the fifth on singles by Norton
Smith and Ralph Seely, three
walks, an error and a fielder's
choice.
Dick Phillips was heavy hit
ter in the contest with three for
four. On the mound he held the
Lions to four bingles.
