Klamath Council Eyes Purchase Of Gem Stadium Klamath Falls (U.R) The Klamath Falls city council has been asked by Bob Bonney, city park and recreation director, to take immediate action on a pro posal to purchase Gem stadium situated just outside the city limits.

(U.R) Holly Mims, whose busy fists have earned him the number four spot among the middleweights, and Charley Green, a knockout artist from California, will meet at the Arena tonight in a nationally televised 10-round match.

Studs officials point out that if the local club is well-backed by fans, if attendance at games is good, more and stronger teams can be brought in here next year. Future caliber of the Studs and their competition de pends much on gate receipts since Cheney Forest Products is "going it alone" in fieVling the team. Business Manager Bill Askwith has pointed out that the Studs are soliciting no aid from other business firms. CHENEY OBLIGATION The Cheney club, itself, however, has an obligation. That is lo display good, hustl ing, hard-hilling colorful base ball of the kind which will . make fans want to come back. Player Manager Clarence Mell bye and Bill Askwiih feel that Studs' hitting power, pitching and infield play will be im proved over last year. There should be-an upsurge in base ball interest here if the recruit ing efforts prove out. DEBUT SATURDAY Medf ord's semi - pros make their debut here Saturday night and Sunday afternoon against Roseburg. Not all of the Studs' talent will be on hand since not all high school and college boys will be availabe. There may be some "temporaries" in the line up. However, all clubs of the Southern Oregon League will be in the same predicament for week or two. SORE ARM NO-HITTER When Dave D'Olivo hurled a no-hit no-run victory for Klam ath Falls over the Grants Pass high baseball team last week he accomplished the feat with a sore arm.
