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.'

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

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

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. ,'

EVERGREEN LEAGUE
Final week's bowling in the
Evergreen League made only
one change in the standings.
Pierce Motor Freighers moved
up one game, and tied Medford
Barbers Local for the top spot.
A three-game play-off will be
scheduled. Championship play
offs will wait the results of the
half play-off.
No great scores were made by
most of the bowlers in the last
regular evening, but youth won
over age when Grant Burroughs
again won the family honors by
bettering his dad, Jerry Grant
had the high series for the even

Swimmers Conquer
Colorado River
Las Vegas, Nev. (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.

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. "

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

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.
