Medford's Cheney Studs con- elude their season- Opponents of the Studs at the fairgrounds park here will be the Coos Bay-North Bend Lumberjacks. Game time i& 2 p.m. The hassle Is the second fray In a two-game series that opened here last night. It will be the final game of the regular South western Oregon League second half schedule for both teams. Hopes were still alive for the Lumberjacks before last night's engagement here for addition ac tion in the SWOL. However, the hopes were slim. For, only a series sweep coupled with two Drain losses to Coqullle, could knot the Jacks and Drain for the second half crown. Drain was favored to win at least one. If not both, of its tussles with Brookings this week end. For Medford, the season has been a dismal one. The Studs wound up in sixth place in the first half. They are in danger of ending the cellar in the second part of the campaign- But, if they can pull a victory out of the fire today, they will gain some measures of satisfaction. Generally, when the Studs and Lumberjacks collide, a whale of a battle results and its hoped that the final hassle here this season be another lulu. Med ford will be after its first vic tory over CB-NB this season. The Jacks won two on the coast in the first half 12 to 4 and 3 to 2. Coos Bay-North Bend will put Trains Combine Talents As Tri-City Raps Salem Br UNITED PRESS Ray and Len Train combined talents Friday night to lead the Tri-City Braves to a 14-6 victory over the, Salem Senators in a Western International League baseball game at Kennewick, Wash.

REMINDER ISSUED Portland Anglers fishing for sea-run cutthroat trout or "harvest trout" in the coastal streams are reminded by the State Game Commission of the basic bag limit for trout. The regulation states that the bag limit ia "10 fish per day, not more than 5 of which may be 12 inches or over. . . " Since most of the sea-run cutthroat exceed 12 inches in length, the second clause of the regulation should be noticed especially. Fishermen are liable for arrest if they keep more than 5 trout per day over 12 inches long. For all practical purposes, the daily bag limit on "bluebacks" is 5.
