SIGHT MZDTOBD (OBZOOH) MAIL TSXBUHS Studs Finish Season This Ueeti; Oppose Jaelio Saturday, Sunday Friday, Aogost II. 1S53 I J M. k i a ar. iviary s Eyes Season On Gridiron Medford'a Cheney Stud con clude their baseball season this week and. The Studs play host at the fairgrounds here to the tough Coos Bay-North Bend Lumber- . jacks. Games are at 8 p.m. Sat urday and 2 p.m. Sunday. It's been a rather dreary season for the Studs and they'll be out to . wind-up the year on a happy note. Medford had a Southwestern Oregon League make-up series set for next week end with Co quille here. However, Business Manager Tom MacLeod an- ' nounced that the games have been cancelled. He contacted Co- quille last night. The Loggers are disbanding for the year after this week end. Ho Bearing Games missed with Coquille were in the first half and had no bearing on the league diadem. The same is true of a pair of scuffles missed with Bandon, They, too, will not be made up. As the Studs face the Lumber- lack series, they are in the cel lar. Their week end aim will be to hop out of the lowly spot But, the highest they can go is sixth in the second half stand ings. Medford finished sixth in the first half. The Lumberjacks will bring a strong crew to Medford. Coos Bay-North Bend beat the Studs in both the first half combats. However, Medford generally is fired up for the Jacks and is rated a good chance of gaining victory. The bay nine has a strong pitching staff in Dick Bishop, Ward Rockey, Jay Ragni and Stan Blank. Ragni passed by a Western International loop as signment this summer to join the Lumberjacks. Rockey head ed the staff at last report with a record of four wins and no losses. Bishop had a three-three record, Ragni a two-one mark and Blank stood at one-two. It is not known here who will get the starting mound assignments for the Jacks this week. Dunn Played Here Coos Bay has Joe Sugura, .387 hitter, as catcher. At first base is the old vet. Buz Arlitt, who often comes through with timely hits. Al Cohen is second base man. Shortstop is Roy Nicely, .388 swatter, who covers a lot of territory at his post. Man ager Curley Leininger is third baseman. Dick Wenner, Jack Dunn and Johnny Kovenz, .417 walloper, are probably starting outfielders. Dunn has been seen in action here before. In 1949 he was a player for the Medford Nuggets professional nine. Probable opening pitchers for Medford for the final games are Elliott Fagan and Paul Gehr- man, with Clarence Mellbye and Terry Maddoz available for re lief. The infield will be picked from among Jack Cooney, Dick James, Jim Sinovic .and Don Fawcett and the outfield from among Maddox, Snuffy Smith, Moose Blevins, Earl O NeiL raw- cett and Paul Martin. t Suds Rap Portland 6-1; Hollywood Wins 2 Teams Booted In ABC Tussle Portland (U.R) Willamette and Hillsboro were out of the running in the double-elimina tion ABC tournament today, Oregon City edged Willamette 5-4 and Heales' Babes nosed out Hillsboro 4-3 in losers' bracket games.

Jack Fitzgerald TRANSFER & STORAGE CO. 8 & Fir PImm 2-4273 San Francisco U.R) Oak land's crushed fans discovered today that life still can be beau tiful ju3t as long as slugging Jim Marshall continues bis heroic battle for the coast league home run title. Marshall, who wears such tremendous price tag that the smart boys have dubbed him "Mr. Franchise," belted two more homers against Hollywood last night and drew to within five circuit clouts of the Stars Dale Long. The Twink first sack er paces the league with 27 round trippers, one more than Bill Howerton of the Acorns. Marshall now has 22, Hurt Lea The Compton clouter was go ing great guns in the home run derby in mid-July, then injured leg playing against Portland. and missed about 13 games. This left him considerably off the pace when he finally got back into the lineup. Now he is just as hot as the Oaks are cold. Hollywood crushed Oakland 7-3 last night despite the brace of homers that Marshall con tributed. The blows ran .his streak to three in two days. He slammed one against Mel Queen on Wednesday afternoon with the bases loaded. The triumph left the Stars comfortable 10 games ahead of Seattle, which downed Portland. Heard Bounced The Rainiers grabbed an early lead and went on to defeat the Beavers 6-1 behind effective 10- hit pitching by Vera Kinds- father. The Rainiers collected only eight hits off Jay Heard and Red Adams but bunched five of them in the first two innings. Heard lasted only two innings. During that time, Seattle reach ed him for five runs, four of them earned. Two of them came in the first inning on a double by Alex Gar- bowski, Clarence Maddern's sin gle, an error and a run-scoring infield out. Seattle scored three runs in the second on a walk, Goldy Goldsberry's double and singles by Tobin and Leo Thomas. Red Adams replaced Heard at the end of the two innings. Other Games San Diego swept to its fourth straight triumph over Sacra mento with the aid of a seven- Salem Whips Braves 9-5 By UNITED PRESS Salem's Senators brought their big guns into play and blasted a 9-5 win from Tri-City in a West ern International league game last night. Jerry Ballard helped alortg a five run fourth inning with a two-run homer and Jim Deyo contributed a triple and a dou ble good for five runs batted in. Spokane saw its league lead shaved to half a game by losing a 9-1 decision to Lewiston. In other games Edmonton downed Victoria 8-4; Wenatchee edged Yakima 7-5,' and Vancouver trounced Calgary 11-6.

P I S T O L S BINOCULARS AND SCOPES run splurge in the seventh frame that juiced the final score up to 9-5. It marked, the second time this week that the bordertown ers have rolled the Senators for seven runs in one frame. It hap pened before on Tuesday. Lloyd Dickey proved that the PCL is still a minor league by uncorking five wild pitches in the same inning for San Diego and still earning his seventh win of the year. Chesty Chet John son was deflated for his 13th reversal. San Francisco scored two runs in the 10th to down their Los Angeles tormentors, 5-3. Elmer Singleton, who was the third pitcher to climb the hill for Tommy Heath, came on in the ninth to get his 14th win. Nini Tornay singled in two runs off Randy Gumpert in that frame after Bud Hardin fumbled Leo Righetti's grounder to filj up the oases. Coach Eldon Durham will mold bis 1953 St Mary's high school football eleven with squad of some 10 lettermen and a big fullback transfer from California. He reported that practices tentatively are scheduled to start on August 31. The Crusaders will play a schedule of at least five games in the Jackson Coun ty Class B League. Durham Is hoping to arrange another game on September n. The transfer candidate is Jim Jones, 218 pounder from St. Vin cent's high of San Diego. He is listed as fast for his size and as a fair passer. Better Situation Lettermen backfield men ex pected to return are speedy Stan Read, Tim Dugan, Laval Meu- nier and Dick Paup. Anticipated returnees who lettered in the lines are Jim Link, a 195-pound- er, Ramon Elberts, Joe Hassler, Joe Lucas, Laddie Zwanz and Tom York. Durham said that the line should be heavy but not too fast. The grid situation appears to be in better shape than last year when the Crusaders made the swing back into 11-man compe tition after a number of years of six-man football. Last year St. Mary's wound up the season with a squad of 12 men. This season Durham is looking for ward to a squad of 18 to 23 boys.

Wrigley said he wants to "sit down and have a little chat"! with the field boss of the Cubs. "I'd like to let things cool off a little," Wrigley said. 'Every body's quite excited right now' and I don't think that the time ! for contract signing is here yet." Hack Mentioned There have been consistent rumors that Cavarretta, who guided the Cubs to a fifth place finish last year, will be replaced by Stan Hack, former Cub third baseman and currently manager of Los Angeles in the Pacific Coast league.
