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-

already owner of the U. S.,

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.

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

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.

Don Moore
Nabs Hardtop
Main Race
Don Moore, Yreka, Calif., cop
ped the 20-lap main Friday in
hardtop auto races at the sher
iff's posse grounds here.
The races saw one driver, Bob
Wilmot, sent to a local hospital
for a checkup after his car
crashed in the third heat.
Most thrilling crash of the
evening occurred in the main
event when Rusty Phillips' ma
chine tangled with another and
his car slammed into a light
pole. Bill Robinson went
through the fence on the west
turn in the 13th lap of the same
romp.
Bob Wright was forced to quit
when his vehicle tore out three
fence posts in the trophy dash.
12 Cars on Hand
Twelve cars were on hand for
the races and only six were left
when the 'night's activity was
completed. An estimated six
drivers from Yreka reportedly
were turned back by police at
the Oregon border, because
their autos lacked licenses or
ICC tags, l
Woody Thomason, Yreka, was
second in the main and Andv
Bergman, Yreka, was third.
Moore won the trophy dash
and the third heat. Bernie Mil
ler, Grants Pass, followed Moore
in the trophy run and Robinson
was third. Thomason trailed
Moore in the heat and Richard
Peterson. Yreka, was next.
Miller Wins
Miller rolled in first in the ini
tial heat, Rusty Phillips came in
second and Don Phillips third.
Wright annexed the second
heat top honors, Bergman was
runner-up and Robinson got
third place. Robinson sped home
first in the fourth heat. Richard
Paterson, Yreka, came in second
and Herb James third.
Cliff McGilvery, car owner
but not a regular driver, won
the special event. Final heat
honors went to Rusty Phillips.
Two-Run Rally
Gives Seals Win
San Francisco, July 19 (U.R)
Pitcher Bill Bevans, aided
by a two-run eighth inning rally
from his teammates, kept San
Francisco out of the Pacific
Coast league cellar today with
a 3 to 1 victory over last-placed
Sacramento.
The win, the Seals' fourth
against the Solons, clinched the
seven game series.
Both clubs scored in the first,
Sacramento on singles by Bob
Dillinger and Len Attyd, Ritch
ie Myers' sacrifice and Don Tay
lor's infield out. The Seals scor
ed their run when Jim Moran
walked, Joe Grace fired a single
to right field sending Moran to
third, and Frank Kalin flied out,
Moran tagging up after the
catch.
The Seals broke the tie with
two runs in the eighth, which
proved enough for the win.
Moran doubled, Grace drew an
intentional walk. Kalin then
singled to center, scoring Mor
an and sending Grace to third.
Sacramento third baseman Ed
die Backman stumbled and fell
on Ray Artig's swinging bunt,
which was scored as an infield
single, and Gace came across
with the Seal's third run.
In tomorrow's doubleheader,
the Seals will send to the hill
Elmer Singleton, (9-10) and Wal
ter Clough (1-2) against two un
announced Solon hurlers.
