UNI SIPCDIFirS Fanfare H ly DICK JIWETT Mail TribuM Sports Editor Alter all the uncertainty and several contradictory report!, this department hopes that Hose burg finally IS in the Southern Oregon Baseball League and that the entry is on firm footing. No sarcasm is intended. This writer is among those who have wanted to see Roseburg in the loop since it's healthy for the circuit to have that city as the hub of fast semi-pro ball in southern Oregon. But to hear one report one day and the exact opposite the next is disconcert ing. May we add our welcome to the SOL's newest member. Just what the Brookings popu lace feels about the withdrawal of the Beavers from Jhe SOL isn't known her. Nevertheless, the finance problems and the poor condition of the playing field mentioned by Pete Les meister in - his letter to the league are evidence that the resi dents of that coast community, as-a whole, are not greatly con cerned and won't miss the league. Lesmeister has been business manager of the Beavers. From the viewpoint of other clubs We're certain that all feel that the bow out of Brook ings will serve the best inter ests of the circuit, considering the long jaunt required of most teams and condition of the field there. Of course the trips from Bandon and Coquille to Bend, and vice versa, still are consid erable Journeys. PERRY SKIPPERS WOOTON Remember Ray Parry, the Little Buffalo, who managed she Redding Browns of the now defunct Far West Base ball League. And remember - She beefs that he was involved in when the Browns played at Medford? He's still a master in the rhubarb department. Perry now manages Cedar Rapids. la., of the Class B .Three I League. Its the Brook lyn Dodger farm club for which Derald Wooton, ex Medford high, is now a pitch er.' Grant of Portland. Roosevelt's 1:31.5 time is best REICH HAS :10.04 When Frank Reich, Eagle Point, won the 100-yard dash last Saturday in the Rogue River invitational, his time was :10.04 rather than the :10.4 inadvertently turned in. His rime compares to :09.9 by Roosevelt's Strong and Eu gene's Jim Brown. Huey Hat ten, 'Jefferson, Portland, has a :10 flat clocking. A t-foot 1-inch high jump by Bob Johnston, Crater, eompares to 8-3 by Bob Barr, . Gresham, and 8-2Vs by Bud Toombs, Nyssa. Ted Stanfield, Rogue River, has a 21-5 broad jump while the state's best so ' far this season is listed at 21-8 by Hoddy Schepman, North Bend. Jerry Christian, Elmira, has gone 21-6. ABSENCE EVENS MEET When Eagle Point's Reich and Bob Stewart were missing from a dual track tiff in Phoenix on Wednesday because of sickness it was considered 'quite an evening factor. DONT PICK UP FAWNS Fawning season is again at hand. C. R. Shepard, district game agent, has pointed out. He warned that it is a viola tion of law to pick up and re move young deer, or, for that matter, the 'young of any game animal from its natural habitat. ... Under no conditions will permits be issued for holding of fawns, Shepard stated., He mentioned that a doe will leave her fawn for several hours at a time while she searches for food. People shouldn't jump to the conclu sion that the young animal has been abandoned, he said. The other day, in a game In which Wooton was starting pitcher. Perry and Jack Kil loren of the Quincy. III., Gems touched off a riotous battle royal. It started when Kil- lfTn thm niniiH. eamsv init , third with spikes flashing high. Perry was guarding the - sack. After the riot subsided, sTom Incaviglia. a Medford Dodger of 1948. replaced Per ry at third base. CLANCY WITH BRONCS In a yarn on the Mail Tribune sports pages this week, Pitcher Jim Clancy was listed as winner of his first game for the Lewis- ton Broncs of the Northwest League. Clancy .was on the Med ford Rogues aggregation of the Far West League in 1951. ENCLOSING STANDS Bill Askwith, business man ager of the Medford Cheney ' Studs of the Southern Oregon Baseball League, has reported that work at the fairgrounds bell park is being completed this week. Back of the stands facing she highway is being enclosed. Bill said this move, la addition to helping the ap pearance of the park, cuts off She draft of cold air which has seeped through She stands. It is figured that fans will be more comfortable at night games. The latest improvement goes long with the partial cover en one of the stands. It was erected last year and casts shade over the entire stand during afternoon games. TORNADO MEN TOPS Four Medford high track and field men have the best marks in Oregon prep competition to far, according to information Bob Swan, sports writer for the Fortland Oregonian, has been aDie to pics: up. The best in the state Ttmrdnt by Medfordites are Wally Lar son, :15.3 in the high hurdles; Don Crowl, :51 in the quarter- mile; Eldon Francis. 189 feet 1 inch In the javelin, and Lew Breazeale, 12-3VS in the pole vault. In the 220-vard dash. nn Mm ris, Medford, with :22.2 is listed second best to Julius Strnnff Roosevelt. Portland. -21. fl. Th 2:02.1 by Medford's Jack Pool is second to the 2:00.3 by Jim Grelle, Lincoln, Portland. Med ford's quartet of Dan Morris Wally Larson, Don Gray and Don Crowl shares the second low 880-yard relay time, 1:33.8 with TERM DISLIKED Frank DeSouza, former Med ford postmaster and now a city judge for Phoenix and Jackson ville, objects to the term ."tech nical knockout" being used when a fight is stopped by cuts or other such injuries. He feels that a phrase such as "fight stopped" would do more justice to the defeated fighter. He brought out that a fighter now technically knocked out is often leading in points when a head butt or similar incident causes a-fight to be halted. SPEEDBOATER HURT Jack Schauble, Shady Cove, suffered a serious back injury in a speedboating mishap last Sunday and members of the Western Speedboat association re using the accident to em phasise one of the rules laid down in connection with their June 5 - regatta at Emigrant lake. Schauble and Jerry Me Grew, Medford, were trying out their boats side by side when they hit a wake from a fishing boat. The Shady Cove racer's boat flipped. A fishing boat race is plan ned as a morning event of the regatta and the accident illus trates the reason why . the WSA will have the lake cleared of the fishing craft before the faster racing hulls get on the water. ,' Theyll Do It Every Time 1 By Jimmy Hatlo TO rt4VEVOJ 84CK- T VJPVPD CPZLIZLED WOW M Ir.Ll Vm!

(U.R) Two rubber-suited frogmen swam in to the upper end of Lake Mead last night, thus completing a 26 day, 279-mile swim down the Colorado river through the Grand Canyon. William K. Beer, 26, and John Daggett, 27, both of Los An geles, arrived in good condition. They said, "it was very cold in the water" but the bizarre trip "was uneventful." Beer and Daggett entered the Colorado river at Xee's Ferry at the southern entrance to the Grand Canyon Easter Sunday. No word was heard from them for eight days and they were feared dead, until they climbed a trail and turned up at the Grand Canyon Villa Lodge. Friday. May t, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN. ROGUE LEAGUE TRACK MEET AT ASHLAND ON SATURDAY v. for a clean sweep in 1954-1955 rivalry. Comets Hava Depth The Comets get top rating on thebasis of other meet results this year and on their depth. Other schools haw some good individual performers but Crater should have more strength throughout. Largest school in the loop, Crater will have 34 entries in the tussle. The four schools formerly completed in the JDJ League, now disbanded. They'll be out to better marks set Jn the former circuit and, if they have good weather, a number" of records should be "exceeded. Their per formances will give an indica tion of what chance some of the athletes have in the Class A district engagement next week. All four of the Rogue schools are in A-2 category in enrollments. First annual Rogue League track meet is scheduled Satur day. The four-school encounter will be at the Southern Oregon college track at Ashland. " Preliminaries are set for '10 a.m. and the meet will continue until late . afternoon. Partici pants will be Phoenix, Crater, Eagle Point and Illinois Valley.

TITLE AT STAKE Zanesville, O. (U.R) Mary Jane Stebbins, 11, prepared her equipment today to defend her pogo-stick jumping champion ship title against 40 other young sters. Mary Jane claimed the title after bouncing up and down 6,201 consecutive times in one hour. VIKINGS WIN Portland (U.R) Pitcher Mike Menath struck out seven and held Linfield to six hits yes terday as Portland State blank ed the Wildcats 5-0 in a non league baseball game here. St. Mary's high pulled into a temporary tie for second place and kept hopes alive in the Jackson County B league base ball race yesterday by swamp ing Rogue River ,18 to 2 at the fairgrounds. The fracas had been set for Friday but was moved up to pre vent conflict with another Rogue River activity. Victory was the fourth in the league for the Cru saders who have lost once. All St. Mary's hopes for a loop title could be dashed today. Prospect was to have played at Talent this afternoon. A Talent win could complete an unbeaten B loop this season for the Bull dogs and give them the crown, while a Prospect decision would give the Cougars a .first place tie with the Bulldogs and neces sitate a play-off. A Prospect win today and a St. Mary's win over Jacksonville on Monday at the fairgrounds would mean a three-way dead lock for the toga. The Crusaders sewed up their Rogue River game with a 10-run splurge in the first inning. They got another three in the second frame and four in the fifth. The first inning runs came on only two hits, one a home run by Dick Paup.

Wafer Flow Increase Improves Situation Portland (U.R) A slight in crease in water flow in the Pa cific Northwest has improved the region's power situation de spite the fact that Grand Coulee Dam is producing 700,000 kilo watts less than capacity. The Bonneville Power Admin istration today said it has also lost about 200,000 kilowatts at Hungry Horse Dam. The genera tion will be decreased at the dam until about July 1 for repairs to the tail race. - Bonneville and other federal dams were operating at 15 per cent above normal capacity to make up generation shortages, according to the BPA.
