Friday Julr 1. 1953 MEDFORDvG&TRIBUIII SIPdDIffiTrS Junior Legion Vie at Klamath on Sunday Victories which could virtual ly cinch the District 4 champion ship will be sought by the Cen tral Point - Medford American Legion junior baseball squad Sunday when it goes to Klamath Falls. An afternoon double bill is planned. If the, CP-Medford crew can get by the Cokes, it will need just a single triumph over Ash- land to wrap up the pennant. Klamath Falls and Lakeview al ready are out of championship contention but the only losses suffered by Ashland were to currently- unmarred CP-Medford. The CP-Meds could have their hands full Sunday. Their pre vious wins over the Cokes were by just 4 to 2 and 6 to 5 margins. Laval Meunier,. Eldon Francis and Ed Reinking have been the big men with -the bats for the locals so far into the campaign. Among those who have played the most Meunier heads the pack with a .500 hitting average. Fran cis is clubbing the horsehide at a .450 clip and Reinking has a 428 mark. Paul Eckel has a .667 record but has only six at-bats. No Rival Tiffs This Sunday . No action is slated Sunday in the Rogue Valley Baseball League. An open, date is listed in the schedule. While there is at least a couple of make-up games that could have been taken care of over the holiday week end, holi day plans of the individual play ers apparently are the factors which will prevent clubs from getting together. Some question as to the posi tion of Camp White and Grants Pass in the standings has come to light this week. When Camp White and Grants Pass contested on June 5, it was agreed before the tussle that the game vould count in the loop standings, ac cording to CW Manager Ive Mc Kinney. However,' Stars' Skip per Don Newman, without quot ing a source, told the Grants Pass Currier that the fracas had been ruled' out as a league counter. . McKinney said yesterday that that he has not been0 notified of any such action. Counting the game, which the Whiters won by a lopsided score, Camp White is in second place alone in the circuit. If it for mally declared king's-x, then CW and GP are tied in the standings. ROGUE V ALLEY LEAGUE W.
