Studs, Cuban Diamond
Nine Tangle Tonight
Baseball with a Spanish fla
vor. That will be menu at the fair
grounds ball park here this eve
ning when the Medford Cheney
Studs mix with the barnstorm
ing Havana Cubans. Game time
is 3 o'clock.
The Cubans have names that
fans may find hard to pro
nounce, they give their signals
orally in Spanish instead of ges
turing and they are likely to
burst out with a flood of Span
ish lingo when action gets good
and hot. Their verbosity may
prove a bit irksome to the Studs
but it should provide consider
able entertainment for the spec
tators. Not Lingo Alone
The Havana gang doesn't rely
on language alone, however.
There is plenty of baseball abil
ity on the squad and the spon
soring Kansas City Monarchs
feel there is major league timber
in the crew.
Advance information says the
Cubans play baseball as it
should be played. The Cubans
reportedly have a wealth of
speed, they are great fielders
and have good throwing arms.
If they get a well-pitched game
here fans may see some fancy
fielding and throwing.
Advice of a team that has
played the Cubans . numerous
times is to "hit 'em where they
ain't . . . for any time they get
their hands on the ball they will
throw you out."
rV-taai years!

STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY
86 Proof
With speedsters like Isauro
Beltran, outfielder, the Cubans
can be expected to utilize steal
and hit-and-run tactics. For just
plain hitting there is Francisco
Herrera, an outfielder, too, who
smacks the ball as if he wanted
to send it all the way to Cuba.
The Cubans have been ranked
with the top traveling teams
and rated capable of meeting the
best on the road. "They will
convince you of their class on
the field," it is said.
Manager Housier Hoffard of
the Studs probably will send
Clarence Mellbye to the pitch
ing mound tonight.
Estey Ousts
Lees in City
Golf Tourney
Portland (U.R) The field of
golfers still left in the Portland
city golf championships was
down to four Friday as Dick
Estey, Bob Atkinson, Ben
Hughes and Gene Maidment, all
of Portland, go into the semi
finals on the Eastmoreland
course.
Defending Champion Bill
Lees, Portland, was eliminated
Thursday by Estey of Columbia
Edgewater 1 up in a contest not
decided until the last stroke.
Atkinson got rid of Ralph
Dichter of Astoria, 2 . and 1 by
playing two-under-par golf with
two birdies and an eagle three
on the tenth hole.
Hughes reached the semis by
downing Roger Barendrick of
Portland 4 and 3 with five bird
ies and by bettering par by two
strokes on 15 holes.
Mrs. Herron Upset
Maidment turned in the best
card of the day with three under
par as he squashed Walt Mc
Guire, Portland, 5 and 3.
In the women's division, the
galleries saw one of the most
startling upsets in the history of
the tourney.
The upset came when Mrs.
Jack Laing of Portland held
four under par and carded six
birdies to eliminate Defending
Champion Mrs. J. C. Herron.
Mrs. Laing is playing only her
third year of competitive golf.
Others in the women's semi

who defeated Mrs. Arne Ber
nard, 3 and 2; and Mrs. Richard

lywood's great big righthander,
who may be pitching his way
back to the big leagues, goes
after his 15th victory of the sea
son Friday night. And he also
has a chance to stretch his team's
win streak to eight in a row.
He's Johnny Lindell, the Pa
cific Coast leagu'e'-winningest
pitcher. A former Yankee, Lin
dell has had major loop experi
ence both on the hill and in the
outfield.
So impressive has he been for
the Stars this season, he is con
sidered salable to a pennant con
tender in the race for the world
series. '
Divide Honors
Two of Lindell's mates, Red
Hunger and Jim Walsh, divided
a four-hitter last night to beat
San Diego, 2-1, before more than
9,000 fans. Munger. again re-m-
jured a shoulder muscle in the
fourth inning and left the game.
Carlos Bernier, a $3,500 steal
who is making the league bar
gain conscious, stroked home the
tally that gave Hollywood its
seventh in a row.
Oakland kept a game off the
pace by downing Seattle, 7-3.
John Van Cuyk's superb relief
pitching got the victory for start
er Lloyd Hittle. Van Cuyk al
lowed one hit in four innings
and fanned the side in the ninth.
Triple Aide
Oakland's big blow was Hank
Schenz' triple with the bags full
in the sixth. Johnny Ostrowski
had four for five.' And Sammy
Chapman, a former AU-Ameri-can
footballer and ex - major
league star, rapped out three,
one a double.
Los Angeles and Portland
split, the Bevos winning the
short opener, 4-2, and the Angels
taking the nightcap, 5-2. And.
before. 509 fans, San Francisco
won its third straight from Sac
ramento, 7-2.
Lefty Joe Hatten, who work
ed such a beautiful four-hitter
in winning Tuesday, threw one
pitch to Joe Brovia and got the
Angel loss. Brovia tapped the
pitch for a bloop single and
batted in Frank Austin.
No Runs Earned
Bull-neck Marino Pieretti, who
was in hot water with manager
Clay Hopper recently, allowed
five hits and no earned runs in
getting the decision.
The Angels took the nightcap
because Portland pitcher Red
Adams was wild. Adams would
