MedfordWTrtbunb ipaDnmrs BUD KASTNER On All-Star National Loop Umps Told To Be Realistic About New Regulations Tampa, Fla. (U.R) It's up to the umpires now to determine just how strictly baseball's two new, hotly-disputed rules will be observed in the National League. League President Warren C. Gils, in a conference here Wednesday, told his umpires not to be "too strict" in the apply ing of the new measures the one calling for pitchers to throw the ball within 20 seconds and the" other making a catcher stay In a small box until the ball is thrown. Just how strict is "too strict" Giles didn't say, but he empha sized that he wants the umpires to be "realistic" about the rules. OREGON B PREP TANGLE STARTS Salem (U.R) Eight class B high school basketball teams Baseball Briefs Fullerton, Calif. (U.R) Third baseman Buz Clarkston tied the score with a homerun in the eighth inning and then scored the winning run in the 11th yes terday, as Los Angeles edged Seattle 7-6 in a Pacific Coast League training camp game. BOTTLER HOMERS Glendale, Calif. (U.R) Catch er Bill Bottler hit a pair of homers and converted pitcher Dick Waibel, playing the out field, stroked another yesterday as the Portland Beavers played a five inning intra-squad game. EOLONS COMBED . Yuma, Ariz. (U.R) The Oak land Oaks combed two Sacra mento right-handers for 15 hits last night and took advantage of four Solon errors to win their third exhibition game of the training season 11-8. ZARILLA CHANCE GOOD Ontario, Calif. (U.R) Al Za rilla, veteran major leaguer who hit only .216 with Seattle last year, today was given a good chance to land a "starting posi tion with San Diego if the warm weather continues to agree with him. Manager Bob Elliott said Zarilla has been hitting the ball at a good clip during training, and with Dick Sisler retired and Earl Rapp holding out, the Padres are in need of capable flyhawks. They open their exhi bition season tomorrow against the Los Angeles Angels. The first golden retrievers were brought to this continent about 1900 by retired British army officers who settled in Can ada.

PROMPT DELIVERY Mc Andrews Road Phone 2-5271 GLENN PETERSON Second Team Giles said it won't be neces sary for the umpires to use a stopwatch to time the 20 seconds because "we timed lots of pitch ers last season and found they averaged 14 seconds in deliver ing the ball." "I also don't think we need to be too strict about requiring the catchers to keep their feet within the new 43-inch box, unless an umpire believes an at tempt is being made to issue an intentional base on balls," said Giles. Both pitchers and catchers have been complaining about the rule in spring training, say ing that it will lead to many wild pitches.

In twenty years Perhaps yon may know all. Dinah Cralk. A Bostonian demands the "brown-eyed honey blonde" be removed from the top position of our Horses & Women De partment list of the 69 varieties of blondes. He claims no woman with brown eyes can be styled a blonde. That it is "anthropolo gically impossible." Brown eyes, says he, make a woman a "Medi terranean type." A "true blonde" must be "a Nordic type." To be classed as a "blonde," a woman must have blue eyes, or blue grey eyes, he says. I have in structed our Horses & Women experts to check thoroughly this claim. Sidelights Tallulah Bankhead was 35 when she married for the first time. . . . Benny Fields intro duced that style of vocalizing known as "crooning." Then Russ Colombo took it up. After him, Bing Crosby. . . . The most spins ters are born under the sign of Virgo (August 25-September 33.) Or, so the stargazers. Almost Confidential There is nothing to that claim that oysters are only good in the "R" months. They are good all the year around. And at their best in May. ... A woman doesn't care what a man says about her new hat as long as he notices it without being asked, "How do you like my new hat?" It is the male interest, not the criticism, that counts. Test Are you a fast thinker? If so take out your watch. A person,. who is mentally on the beam should answer the following question in five seconds or less. What two consecutive months each have 31 days? Records A 36-year-old Cambridge, O., resident recently had her seventh successful Caesarean operation. This is said to be the United States record. The attending physician said usually women were unable to undergo more than two Caesarean operations. Guess I have heard of many wom en who have had three or more Caesarean operations. Also while seven such operations may be the American record, it is far from the world's record. That, I believe, is 19 successful Caesar ean operations on one woman! Getting Married In Massachusetts it is legal for a girl of 12 to be married with parental consent. Imagine having your 12 year old daugh ter ask you, "Papa, may I marry the boy next door?" The boy would have tp be at least 14. That would be some married couple A 14 year old husband and a 12 year old wife. Wonder if it has ever happened in Massa chusetts. Asides How long a smoke should the average size cigar provide? A. Tampa, Fla., manufacturer says one of his cigars will give: "Forty-five minutes of slow, even burning smoking pleasure." . . . As to what is the "ideal femi nine figure" there is much dif ference of opinion. According to the Hollywoodians it is, "bust 38; waist, 23, and hips, 34." Measure your wife at once, sir. Maybe she is film starring ma terial. Grapefruit Loop Grind Underway By UNITED PRESS It's a rookie's world in the spring and the hopeful new comers were the center of at tention today as 14 of the 16 major league teams began the long Grapefruit League grind that leadS to a "date for two" in the World Series. Only the world champion New York Giants and the Baltimore Orioles were Idle but both will swing into action Friday. There after, there'll be scarcely a day when all the teams aren't play ing at least against minor league competition. With rookies sprinkled throughout virtually every line up, the opening-day schedule was: Brooklyn vs. Milwaukee at Miami, Chicago Cubs vs. Cleve land at Tucson, Cincinnati vs. Chicago White Sox at Tampa, Philadelphia vs. Detroit at Clear water, Pittsburgh vs. Kansas City at Fort Myers, St. Louis vs. Yankees at St. Petersburg and Washington vs. Boston at Sara sota. BABE READY Augusta, Ga. (U.R) Babe Zaharias, who hates to miss the big ones, will take on the field today in the Woman's Title-holders Golf Tournament. The Babe, who missed tournaments in Sar asota, Fla., and Jacksonville, Fla., recently because of poor health, said she has had plenty of rest and is "ready to go." GRACIE WINNER St. Aueustine. Fla.

Richard L. Neu berger that recommendations for changes in the Veterans Admin istration set up, contained in the report of the Hoover commis sion, would not affect the pres ent policy at Camp White, fur nishes occasion for a brief re view of what has been accom plished here in the past sii years. Developing a domiciliary sta tion midway between the large hospital centers of the Pacific Coast was not an easy task. The VA officials who came here in the beginning, some of whom are still on the job, found a de serted Army hospital, unfurnish ed and rank with weeds and neglected. The prospect was hardly en couraging for adapting the place for the comfort and care of 500 invalid and aging veterans. The support of the citizens of South ern Oregon was pledged. The work of volunteers was integrat ed in the task undertaken by the engineering division, to ef fect the necessary physical im provements, and the corps of recreation specialists, forming the nucleus of special services. The need for additional domi ciliary accommodations in this area became evident, so the au thorized bed capacity was in creased to 818, to relieve pri marily the congestion at the Saw telle home in Los Angeles. Many questioned the prospect of making an acceptable veter ans home in this "neck of the woods." it war regarded as too far from town, and too remote for medical attention available in the cities. A competent staff, it was believed, could not be per suaded to live in such an "isolat ed" part of. the world. Boredom would drive away the personnel as well as the veterans it was intended to house, it was main tained by those who held doubts of feasibility of the project. Today, a "family atmosphere' pervades the little community. A score or more children at tend school at Eagle Point, two miles distant. There are over 200 civil service employees and 100 members working at the station. They show no signs of dissatis faction with the environment, which is known locally as the "Agate desert." Those among the home mem bers who came to see, and re mained to stay, have been im pressed by the hospitality which SVJE OKI SEE ME BEAT AtlL leases ADDED WIDTH LENGTH STRENGTH COMFORT ALL ED;- MADE IT THE WORLD'S LARGEST W1UTS MOTOtS, INC, TUd 1, Ohl Stevens Kaiser-Willys, Inc. 505 N. Central Medford Phone 3-3655 News and Notes From Camp White has been shown toward them by the personnel. Domiciliary Officer Ralph Ruf fin, who reported here first in March, 1949, is still here, and knows as much as any man about the trials and tribulations en dured and experienced by the membership. Whenever anyone asks him what they are able to do for the men at Camp White, he points to the "garden spot" cultivated by a badly disabled veteran who could scarcely move when he arrived. Satur day, he was seen pushing a wheelbarrow in the chill atmos phere to a place where he could pick up a little fertilizer for his spring planting of flowers. A zealous spirit soon permeat ed the whole valley. Everyone, including the volunteers and the men who wanted to be active, furnished an exhuberance in promoting the interests, shows and publicity that kept things humming. "There is never a dull moment at Camp White," came to be a byword. The report of this western flavor in veterans homes went up and down the coast and was carried back to Washington, where the importance of the sta tion as a vital part of the system was emphasized. There is an atmosphere of calm at Camp White now, which seems to signify that a desirable place for a home for veterans has been established. Those Who are here want it to continue to develop along this line. There is always a waiting list to get into Camp White, and those that leave soon want to return. New Truck-Tractor Unit Being Developed A new tractor unit, developed for Pacific Intermountain Ex press, has made trial runs in the western states and Was re cently through Medford, it was reported today by company of ficials. The unit has several depart ures from conventional truck tractor units, including two sets of wheels on tandem axles, all of which turn when the vehicle goes around a corner, air sus pension instead of steel springs, a new flat type diesel engine, a "wrap-around" windshield, and other changes. , If proven succesessful in field trials, the units will be ordered for P-I-E runs west of Denver.'

Gov. Paul L. Patterson yesterday exercised his veto power for this first time this legislative session. The governor returned to the legislature without his signature a bill revising procedure for changing boundaries of Union high school districts. He said it seemed to him im proper to "authorize the enlarge ment or reduction of the boun daries of such district without the people affected having a voice in the change of the boun daries of the district that they themselves have created." ' The governor also objected to the method used by the legisla ture in changing the law. He pointed out that a present law provides for changing bounda ries of union high school dis tricts and he added that any change should be made either by amendment of the .statute or repeal so that the intent of the legislature would be clear. The governor signed 14 bills, including one doing away with permanent wildlife refuges; one allowing the state board of high er education to spend gift mon eys without legislative appro priation, and one authorizing the state highway commission is every ounce your best bourbon buy... because: j p &woanee is bottled at I pj tbepeakofperfection! j I KENTUCKY 'STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKY 16 PROOF EARLY TIMES DISTILLERY COMPANY LOUISVILLE 1; KENTUCKY -512) especially for Northwest Pastures! - v3o Zftm 'uTJjftrarasie eras rsisasffissaiiesiscssf: war ia leefira m i .
