ning of the English Derby.

huge crowd.
Drivers Finish in Tie
In Ashland Track Event
It was a photo finish in the
semi-main Saturday night at the
Ashland speedway when two
hardtops received the checkered
flag at the same time.
Jerrv Jennings driving A-10
and Wally Cannon in A-20 were
deadlocked when the flag was
dropped. As the result of the tie
both drivers and officials de
cided that it would be necessary
to have a drive off between the
two drivers.
The race was a'five lap event
which resulted in both cars end
ing up against the crash wall in
the fourth lap. Both drivers man
aged to pull away from the wall
to continue the race with Jen
nings winning the race.
Crock Hunter won the main
event and a heat race. Ed Butler
took the trophy dash and a heat.
Other heat winners were Dick
Imhausen and Jennings.
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.
The stadium was used origin
ally as a baseball field and later
converted to a speedway. The
recreation department wants the
city to take over the field as a
recreational facility. Provided a
plan can be worked out with
stadium bond holders, the city
will use the stadium for its 50
softball teams and the Oregon
state softball championships,
slated for Agust of this year.
Purchase of the stadium would
depend on a vote of the people
at the next general election.
Mims Takes On
Charley Green
St. Louis, Mo. (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.
Green has won 42 and lost 12
of his 54 fights, knocking out 27
while compiling the record. He
won both his 1955 appearances,
taking a unanimous decision
over Don Grant and stopping
Zeke Robinson in the second
round.
Mims, whose record is not
quite as spectacular, probably
has an edge in the class of oppon
ents faced. He has 5 draws, 15
losses and has knocked out nine
Fanfare
By DICK JEWETT
Mail Tribune Sports Editor
With a club which is felt
should be a strong contender in
the Southern Oregon Baseball
League this year and with an
ambitious schedule which brings
some potent semi-pro clubs to
the fairgrounds, the Medford
Cheney Studs are hopeful of
fine support from fans this sea
son.
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. D'Olivo admitted the
sore arm to Coach John McGin
nis before the game but insisted
on taking his mound turn.
Vancouver Pinball
Bill Passes Reading
Vancouver, Wash. (U.R) A
jmove to license pinball ma
chines in Vancouver for parks
and recreation purposes passed
a first reading at the city coun
cil meeting here last niht. Ap
proval at another hearing June
7 would restore the devices to
taverns and bars in the city
across the river from Portland.
Officials believed the pinball
license would create between
S22.000 and $30,000 per year at
$40 per month fee for each
machine.
Two petitions bearing signa
tures of some 800 persons op
posed to pinballs were submitted
to the council last night but the
ordinance was approved by a 6
to 1 vote.
Eugene Subdues
Bear Nine 12-7
By UNITED PRESS
All three winners in the
Northwest league went to work

chee scored three times in the
first inning and six times in the
