still up in the air today as Pa
cific Coast conference leaders

in case an enforcement problem
should arise at one of the three
regular board members' schools.

New Faces Numerous
On Roster of Studs;
Improvements Seen
Buy
Philadelphia (U.R) Sid Gor
don was slated today to assume
an important role of pinch-hitter
and general utility man
which the New York Giants
hope will aid them in their ef
forts to overtake the Brooklyn
Dodgers.
The 36-year-old right handed
slugger was purchased from the
Pittsburgh Pirates Monday
night "for an amount well above
the $10,000 waiver price." He is
due to join the Giants before to
night's game with the Philadel
phia Phils.
Gordon was hitting only .170
for the Pirates but is recognized
as a dangerous long-ball threat.
He is capable of playing third
base or the outfield well and
probably could catch in an emer
gency. He had a lifetime batting
average of .286 and had hit 195
home runs before the season
started.
The Phillies, meanwhile, pur
chased pitcher Bob Kuzava from
the Baltimore Orioles and' re
turned pitcher Lynn Lovenguth
to Syracuse in the International
League. Kuzava had an 0-1 rec
ord for the Orioles but Philadel
phia General Manager Roy Ha
rney said "He should be able to
help us I know there is nothing
wrong with his arm."
SIGNS WITH STEELERS
Pittsburgh (U.R) Rookie full
back Lemuel Harkeynof Em
poria (Kan.) College, one of the
nation's leading ground gainers
last season, today signed his
1955 contract with the Pitts
burgh Steelers of the National
Football League.
Recruiting efforts by Player
Manager Clarence Mellbye and
Business Manager Bill Askwith
for the Medford Cheney Studs
baseball squad have been aimed
improving weaknesses apparent
in 1954. And the two skippers
are looking forward to the
league season with the hope that
they have a real contender in the
Southern Oregon. League in
place of the club which finished
in the cellar last year.
Medford will entertain Rose
burg here Saturday night and
Sunday afternoon in the opening
series for both teams. Other tus
sles will take Grants Pass to
Drain and Bend to Corvallis.
Bandon will get a bye.
Askwith, in announcing the
Studs' roster today, anticipated
better hitting, stronger pitching
and improved infield play on the
part of the Cheney nine. A good
number of the old hands are
ticketed to return but new faces
will outnumber the old on- the
17-man roster. Most of the hands
had some semi-pro experience
and the majority have played
varsity, junior varsity or fresh
man college ball. Two of the
Studs active playing squad mem
bers have ex-pro classification.
Ex-Pro Pitcher
Among new faces will be War
ren Noyes, veteran pro and semi
professional pitcher; Bob Selsor,
infielder from University of Cal
ifornia at Los Angeles; Ritchie
Price, infielder from Southern
Oregon college; Marv Scherpf,
sophomore pitcher from Linfield
college; Jim McAbee, catcher for
the strong Talent high crew; Jim
Kelly, sophCmore twirler at
Santa Clara university, and Bill

Frank Good Named
Oregon City Coach
Oregon City (U.R) Oregon

Look for this sign. "
Studs are Mellbye at third base,
Selsor at shortstop. Price at sec
ond base and Jack Cooney at
third. Mellbye is a veteran with
the Studs and manager for the
second year. He may pitch in a
pinch. Selsor played for Brook
ings in the league last year and
was the leading hitter in the
circuit. He could also see some
third base and relief pitching
duty.
Price played for Hilt, Calif.,
last season, and two years ago
was a slugger for Brookings in
the former Southwestern Oregon
League. Cooney is a Studs per
former back after absence last
year. He played for the pro Med
ford Rogues in 1950 and in 1951
at Muskogee, Okla., was top hit
ter in the Western Association.
McCullough on Squad
Ed McCullough, who finishes
Medford high this spring, will
De a utility infielder as well as
possibly seeing some outfield
and pitching duty. Harvey Tonn,
Crater high with the Studs last
year, is utility first baseman. Me
Cullough has American Legion
junior background.
McAbee will join the club fol
lowing the state B baseball tour
ney. He has had American Le
gion junior baseball experience
with Medford. Slated also as reg
ular catcher is Howard Morris, a
regular with the Studs last year.
He is doing well as a Linfield
college jayvee and will join the
club following school exams
Frank Roelandt, ex-Stud who is
to go to North Dakota in June,
will catch the Roseburg series,
Askwith said.
As for pitchers, Noyes, a
Seattlite, comes well recom
mended. He pitched for Troy,
Mont., in the American Baseball
congress tourney last year, los
ing 1 to 0 in 10 innings to Nor
gan's Beavers, Portland, with a
four-hitter. The righthander
counts four years of pro ball, two
with Boise in the Pioneer League
and two in the Western Inter
national with a Washington
team. He pitched for Blaine,
Wash., last year and for several
years with Everett, Wash., and
has seen action in the semi-pro
tourney. He can also see outfield
service.
Maddox Back
Another righthander will be
Terry Maddox, Studs' vet, who
for University of Oregon this
season has been the top pitcher
in the Northern Division with an
impressive record. He'll be
counted upon in the outfield,
also. Kay Kelley, from Crater
high, is also a rightie.
A lefthander is Scherpf, who
cpmpiled a 4-0 record for Lin
field last year as a freshman and
won the Wildcats final game of
the year after having been laid
up with an ankle sprain. Out
sider Jim Kelly reportedly is
doing well for the Broncs in col
lege. He was at Brookings last
summer and is ex-St. Mary's
high here.
McLean, who has played for
Southern Oregon college and
for Brookings, is expected to be
in center field with Maddox in
right when not pitching. Larry
Bigham, jayvee player at Lin
field, Carrigan on the Oregon
State college Rooks crew and
John Niles, who has played ball
for Southern Oregon college, are
left field contenders.
4 Games in 5 Days
Carrigan and Bigham are ex
Crater high. Both were with the
Studs last year, Bigham in the
early part of the season. Niles is
ex-Medford high and has played
in the Rogue Valley League.
Cliff Piland and Askwith will
be coaches.
The Studs on Saturday begin
a stretch of four games in five
days. After the Roseburg series,
they go to Yreka, Calif., for a
non-loop tussle on Monday, Me
morial day. On Wednesday, June
1, they tackle Yreka here.
Since college exams won't be
out of the way, a number of the
Medford players won't be on
hand this week end. The line-up
for the Roseburg series will be
announced later this week.
PCC Track
Meet At UO
Opens Friday
University of Oregon, Eugene
The country's finest collegiate
track and field championship
will be staged at Hayward Field
next Friday and Saturday when
the nine teams of the Pacific
Coast Conference hold their 25th
annual meet.
Southern California is again
the heavy favorite to win the
title, but the battle between
UCLA and Stanford for second
place should be a hot one and
the individual championship
scrambles rate among the best
in the meet's history.
Preliminaries are set for 3:30
p.m. on Friday in the field
events with running events set
for 30 minutes later. The same
schedule will apply for the finals
on Saturday. There will be no
admission charge for the pre
liminaries. Reserved, general ad
mission on Saturday tickets will
be sold Saturday.
Leo Harris, director of the
meet, said both dashes Aid the
hurdles races will finish on the
east side of Hayward Field and
the 440, 880, mile, two mile and
relay will end on the west side.
Tickets may be ordered by writ
ing to McArthur Court and ap
plicants should specify which
finish line they prefer in or
dering reserved seats.
The mile run is certain to
excite considerable local interest
as Bill Dellinger, a surprise win
ner of both the PCC and NCAA
championships last year as a
sophomore, faces some of the
best milers in the country in the
defense of his crown.
Southern California's Marty
Montgomery and Sid Wing have
both bettered 4:12 this season
and Bob Seaman, the sensation
al UCLA sophomore, has run
4:10.7 in his first varsity cam
paign. Dellinger has been coming
along slowly and has a best time
of 4:12.2, but his backers point
out he did not run his best races
last year until the last three
meets.
Southern California will also
bring Ernie Shelton, the one
shoed high jumper, who has been
consistent at 6-10 all season and
is considered to be the best
threat in the world to the legen
dary seven-foot mark.

Only One Day Game
Set on Anniversary
Of First Arc Tilt
New York (U.R) There
was only one afternoon base
ball game scheduled today on
the 20th anniversary of night
baseball in the majors.
That was in Chicago where
the Cubs play the Cardinals at
Wrigley Field, the only park
in the majors not equipped
with lights.
There won't be a night game
at Cincinnati, where on May
20, 1935 the Reds defeated the
Phils, 2-1, before 20,422 fans.
President Roosevelt pushed a
button in the White House
which turned on the lights at
Crosley Field and started a
new era in the national past
lime. The reason Cincinnati
is'nt observing the anniver
sary is because the Redlegs
are at Milwaukee for a game
at night, of course.

Don Sample
Cycle Field
Meet Victor
Don Sample, Medford, took
main laurels in the motorcycle
field meet held at Copper on
Sunday, 22, with an easy score
of 24 points.
His two closest competitors
tied for second place with a total
of 12. They were Sid Knox, Ash
land, and Floyd Young, Talent.
Each event was a fast moving,
competitive duel. There were a
few minor spills but nothing
amounting to more than a few
scratches, bruises and some
twisted cycle forks.
Main attraction of the day was
the ten lap "scrambles" run
which took the riders around an
oval track, into a very sharp
corner, around some trees then
back onto the oval track. The
oval became very dusty as the
spring rains had not penetrated
the surface very deep. Contest
ants were hampered by the con
dition. This event was also won by
hard-riding Don Sample. Second
place winner was Jerry Neitzel,
Central Point, who was making
his debut on a race track. Third
position went to Bud Reynen,
Ashland, who also set a good
pace throughout the event.
Rogue Ramblers Motorcycle
club expressed their thanks to
clubs and spectators for their
participation in making the day
a successful one.
