TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, July 20. 19S2 rTHIBUNl Studs Subdue Cubans 5 to 3 in Exhibition The Medford Cheney Studs played one of their defensive games for eight innings then survived a wobbly ninth canto Friday night to defeat the pep less barnstorming Havana Cu ban baseball contingent 5 to 3 at the fairgrounds here. Medford, with only one harm less error charged up went into the final frame with a 5 to 1 advantage. But before the Studs could retire the side and claim victory, the Cubans picked up two additional runs on three misplays and three hits, one of them a double by Francisco Herrera. Three consecutive hits by Snuffy Smith, Terry Maddox and George Sanders in the sec ond inning brought the Studs a run and gave them a lead they never relinquished. In the third stanza the Cheney crew got a couple of markers for a 3 to 0 margin. The bases were filled on hits by Jack Gordon and Don Fawcett, a fielder's choice by Frank Roelandt and a walk to Smith. Maddox drove in two runners with a single. Gordon Doubles Roelandt singled and Gordon two - Daggered in the fifth in ning for another counter. The Cubans got a single run in the seventh on a walk to Aldo Sal vent and double by Isauro Belt ran. Medford's fifth score was in the same inning when Moose Blevins doubled and Roelandt singled. Roelandt was the heavy hitter for the Studs with a double and two singles in four trips to the plate. He got on base every time at bat, once on a fielder's choice and was driven home by team mates for two of the runs. Mad dox and Gordon each "hit two for four, Gordon rapping a two baser, and each drove in two runs. Smith and Maddox came up with fine catches in the outfield. Smith made a stumbling snag of a fly ball after a long run. Gordon made a sensational back- Little Mo Wins Penn Tourney , Haverford, Pa. (U.PJ Mau reen (Little Mo) Connolly, already owner of the U. S., Wimbledon and Irish tennis titles, added another Saturday, when she defeated Mrs. Bunny Harshaw Vosters I of Philadel phia, 6-2, 6-0, to win the Penn sylvania and Eastern States championship for the third straight year. The -J 7-year-old wizard from San Diego, Calif., required only 28 minutes to trip Mrs. Vosters, Philadelphia and Middle States champion, and wrap up another crown in her first start since her international victories abroad early this month. So potent was Miss Connolly's overhand and flawless her back hand, she built up a 4-0 lead in her first set before hert blonde opponent could register her first game-triumph at Merion Cricket club. post, enabling him to throw out a runner in the fourth pining. Taggad in Ninth Clarence Mellbye, hurling for the Studs, scattered three hits before he was tagged for three more in the ninth, he walked three men and struck out five. The fray was a fast encounter and was played in about one and one -half hours. The Cubans appeared to lack the flash and classiness men tioned in their advance public ity but it probably was because of road weariness. Medford is playing two games this week-end at Roseburg in its Southwestern Oregon Base ball league campaign. Today's tussle is set for 2 p.m. Roseburg (daylight) time, or 1 p.m., Med ford (standard) time.

Nurmi Trots With Torch On Last Leg Helsinki (U.R) Paavo Nur mi, a ghost from the sporfs glorious past, carried the Olym pic torch on its last leg of the relay from Greece Saturday as the 1952 games began with pomp and pageantry. From 1920 to 1928 the famed "Flying Finn" won nine Olym pic medals. Now he is balding and 55, the owner of a little Helsinki haberdashery. But he relived his hours of glory and he trotted into the stadium with the torch to the mighty cheers of 70,000 spectators. A steady rain pelted Olympic stadium as the colorful cere mony was unreeled in the trad ition of ancient Greece. A total of 5,297 athletes from 69 nations paraded their colors. Salute Barks After the parade there was a pause and then the staccato bark of a 21-gun salute that her alded the approach of the Olym pic torch, brought by relays aft er being lighted from a fire on Mount Olympus in Greece. The host nation always picks the runner to carry the torch the last lap and his name re mains a deep secret until the moment of the ceremony. Saturday as it was announ ced the great Nurmi would bear the torch a mighty cheer burst from the crowd. Nurmi raced in, holding aloft the light ed torch. Break Ranks The athletes who had paraded into the stadium broke ranks to line the running track. Their team leaders urged them to get back in formation. But they would not budge from their van tage points. Instead, they stood and cheered as Nurmi circled the stadium. His stride still has its picture perfect fascination. Nurmi carried the torch to the bowl underneath the Olym pic flag and lighted the Olympic flame which will burn for the two weeks' duration of the games. Another cheer broke from the crowd. It was a ting ling spectacle. Nurmi then passed the torch to another great Finish runner of yore, Hannes Kolehmainer. He. carried it upstairs to the top of a 225-foot tower where an other flame was blazed. NRA Leader To Talk Here Frank L. Wyman, general sec retary of the National Rifle as sociation, Washington, D.
