day in the Oregon Golf associa

UNCERTAIN WAGER
Hiud at the Medford Studs
Scott Valley Stars baseball
gam Wednesday night after
the Studs scored 10 runs in
the first inning: o
First voice 111 bet the
Studs don't score 10 runs this
Inning." .
Second . voice "I'll take
that bet."
(Second . voice lost. The
Studs scored only four runs
in the second frame.).
TIGHTER SHOES HELP ,
Like clothes make" the man,
hoe mav make the Ditcher in
baseball. Success of Lefty Jim
Kelly on the mound for ne aiea
ford Studs his last couple of
time out has been attributed to
;his shoes. Jim recently switched
from size 12 to size 10 and the
nntrcrer fit for his tootsies ap
parently has paid off. He struck
out 21 batters against Scott Val
ley on Wednesday night.
APPRECIATION CHANCE
When the outstanding young
aggregation, the Washington
Cheney Studs battle the Mad
ford Cheney Studs at the fair
grounds on July 9 and 10, the
games, themselves, should be
attraction enough. But it
would be fine sort of gesture
If Medford fans would turn out
In large numbers and make the
dates a sort of "appreciation
week end" for Ben and Fran
cis Cheney of Cheney Lumber,
company and their right hand
nan. Bill Aikwilh. It is inter
esting to speculate on what
the status of semifinal baseball
hare would be if i were not
lor their enthusiasm for the
port and for their efforts. It
might be that there would be
no semi-pro ball here at all.
GOUGED IN MIDDLE
In a story earlier this week
concerning a Rogue . River Re
triever club picnic trial, parts of
two paragraphs right in the mid
dle somehow were left out and
the works were really fouled up.
At least one dog was listed for
the wrong owner,
o The part skipped told that Cin
dy, a labrador female owned and
handled by Lee Skaggs, won the
puppy stakes and that derby
honors were taken by Rip, a lab
rador male, owned and handled
by Gene Hunt. Cindy is one of
four dogs in the race for the
club's puppy trophy for season
performance in picnic trials. The
others are Lucinda, a labrador
female, owned by Otto Spores;
Joe a golden male owned by
VT T nit Kirinner anA f tiio-F a
labrador male, owned by Sid
Menasco and handled by Carl
Newell.
Rip is in contention with Meg,
owned by William McAllister,
for the derby stake prize.
The Gun club and Jackson
County Chamber of Commerce
have cooperated in mailing out
some 1.500 letters with lists of
motels and hotels hare to shoot

states. Two carloads of clay
targets, a total of more than
200.000 "pigeons," have ar
rived here.
July 10 will be a clean-up
day at the club in preparation
for the tourney. PITA Presi
dent Ed W. Pease said that it
is hoped to have a membership
party or dinner session at the
clubhouse some night next
week to make general plans
for the shoot and outline the

Brovia Eyes
Regular Job
With Reds
By SCOTT BAILLIE
Oakland, Calif. (U.R) When
Joe Brovia, the Pacific Coast
League's favorite hitter, joins the
Cincinnati Redlegs today he will
try and talk General Manager
Gabe Paul into letting him play
regular In the outfield.
"Signed as a pinch hitter
only?" Brovia exclaimed yester
day while discussing his pur
chase from Oakland. "Gee, 1
dunno. Maybe I'll go on back
to the Coast League if that's
nope. I've been waiting to get
into the majors for 16 years so
guess it's okay. But I'm going
to do a little talking to Mr. Paul
about the setup anyway."
, Paul said yesterday in Cincin
nati that Brovia had been bought
only for use as a pinch hitter
and that he was a poor fielder.
Joe has had his bad moments in
the outfield but doesn't go for
the idea of being rated with
Smead Jolley. the PCL fence
buster of 20 years ago whose
catastrophes in the outfield still
have 'em chuckling around the
big leagues. : '
Will Show Em
"I'm an all-around ballplayer
and I think I'll show them that,"
the 33-year-old Brovia said. - .
The intense, moody slugger
who wears the knee-bands of his
pants in the. general vicinity of
his ankles never has seen a
major league in his -life but
shows no fear.
"I'm looking forward to hit
ting against big , league stuff,"
he said. "I'm so excited about it
I haven't eaten for two days.
Who do I want to face most?
Robin Roberts of the Phils. All
you hear about is the great stuff
he has and now I want to see
for myself."
Brovia is deserting his right
field spot with, Oakland sport
ing a .332 batting average. Out
side of short hitches in the West
ern International League and
Pioneer League he never has
played away from the PCL since
1941. His first year in profes
sional baseball was at El Paso of
the Arizona Texas League where
he hit .383 in 1940. His lifetime
PCL average is .302.

Chicks Owner Thinks
Radio, Video Can Be
Blessing to Baseball
By RUSS DALEY
Memphis, Tenn. (U.R) Leo
Burson, who - bought the - ball
park where he once peddled pea
nuts, figures that television and
radio can be the salvation in
stead of the death of minor lea
gue baseball. : 1 -
Burson, the new owner of the
Memphis Chicks of the Class AA
Southern Association, said to
day that baseball is in for a
boom" and that it will be part
ly because of and not in spite
of radio and television.
"The more channels we can
use to feed baseball and make it
felt in the American home will
enentually work in our favor
and bring more fans" he said. -
"We want to make fans want
to come out and see games. The
old idea was like an iron cur
tain. If you cut off radio and TV,
how are you going to educate
people as to what the spirit of
baseball really is?"
and was a 7-5 choice to defeat
the unseeded Nielsen.
Nielsen gained the title round
with a surprising victory over
Australia's Ken Rosewall.

Rocky, Arch
Matched in
Title Bout
By Jack Cuddy
New York (U.R) Unbeaten
Rocky Marciano and 38-year-old
Archie. Moore were matched to
day for a world heavyweight
championship fight at Yankee
Stadium on Sept. 20.
Announcing the match, pro
moter Jim Norris said heavy
weight champion Marciano
would receive 40 per cent of
the total net receipts and light
heavyweight champion Moore 20
per cent.
He said there would be no
home television but that he ex
pected it to be made available
on theater television throughout
the country. In addition, he is ne
gotiating for radio to the homes.
The match shapes up as a great
attraction because it pits un
beaten Marciano of Brockton,
Mass., against the most danger
ous puncher on his list since he
won the title from Jersey Joe
Walcott on Sept. 23, 1952, with
a sensational 13th round knock
out. The Walcott who tried to re
capture the tite on May 15, 1953,
had faded to a nitiful shadow of
himself. Rocky's other defenses
were aeainst Roland LaStarza
Ezzard Charles twice, and Don
f!nrkell.
Thirty-eight-year-old Moore of
San Diego, Calif., is not only a
dangerous puncher but a smarter
and more cunning boxer than
30-year-old Rocky. As the sixth
challenger for Marciano's title,
Archie will be the most confi
dent, for he is riding a string of
21 straight victories.
Another Dodger
Catcher Injured
Brooklyn U.R) The . injury-
riddled Brooklyn Dodgers finally
won a photo finish today X
rays on catcher Al Walker's
bruised left shoulder showed neg
ative and he will be back in the
lineup in a day or so.
Walker suffered the injury in
a collision at home plate when
he tagged out Willie Mays in the
Dodger victory over the Giants
Thursday. He was carried off the
field in considerable pain. Dr
Harold Wendler,, the Dodger
trainer, made a preliminary ex
amination and said he thought
Walker might be out some time,
Howell Upped
Until Walker is in shape to
play again, third stringer Dixie
Howell, who has been the chief
bullpen catcher, will take over
the mask and pads.
Meanwhile, Roy Campanella,
who had clinched the job as the
National League catcher in the
All-Star game at Milwaukee,
rested comfortable, trying to get
his injured knee in shape with'
out surgery. He has a loose spur
from a previous injury floating
in his kneecap, .and his doctors
uave prescrioea rest.
