STUDS STANDOUT POSES WITH SPONSOR Luther
Carr, left, "all everything" athlete and hard slugging out
fielder of the Washington Cheney Studs, is pictured here with
Ben Cheney, who sponsors the club in Seattle-Tacoma area
competition. Carr, whose exploits are heralded in track and
on the football field as' well as on the diamond, is a standout
on the youthful Cheney crew which will battle the Medf ord
Cheney Studs at the fairgrounds here on Saturday and Sun
. day, July 9 and 10. Ben is also backer of the Medford club.
Only 18, Carr is stamped as a sure fire bet for professional
stardom as a centerfielder. The grad of Lincoln high,.Tacoma,
led the Studs in batting last year with a .399 average and was
the outstanding player in the Washington amateur tourna-'
merit. He is rated a potential ail-American football halfback
and brought glee to University of Washington fans when he
- announced he will enroll at that school this fall. At Lincoln,
he reeled off many long-scoring runs. He set a new high
school broad jump record of 23 feet 7 inches this spring and
has run the 100-yard dash in :09.9.

The Washington Cheney Studs',
young but sparkling baseball
aggregation of the Seattle-Tacoma
area, don't have the long
history of their Medford coun
terparts but the flashy "kids"
contingent already has estab
lished a championship and star
building reputation. And that
means that the Medford Studs
nine should have its hands full
next Saturday and Sunday, July
9 and 10, when it plays host to
the Washington gang.
While the Studs, Oregon ver
sion, have been a going organza
tion at Medford or Central Point
since the war years, the Wash
ington group has existed just
since 1952 'and took the Studs
name only last year.
Ben B. Cheney, Central Point
and Tacoma lumberman, long n
advocate of the horsehide sport,
took over the sponsorship .of the
club in, the spring of 1954.,-The
aggregation of young ball play
ers played previously under the
sponsorship of the Seattle R ai
mers. .
Former Hi-Stars
Torchy Torrence, now vice-
president of the Rainiers, insti
gated the team, feeling as does
Cheney, the need for developing
young players in the state. , In
1952 and 1953 the club was cal
led the Rainer Hi-Stars. Both
seasons the team won the city
and state championships only to
loss at the American Baseball
congress regional finals in Wat
erton, S. D. -
The team won 38 and lost 11
in 1953. Shortstop Bob Jacobs,
still with the dub and scheduled
to : play h e r e next -week-end,
made the all-tournament region
al team at the age. of 16.
Under new sponsorship last
year, the Studs of Washington
continued under the exeprienced
managerial guidance of Joe Bud-
nick, ex-University of Washing
ton player. The Studs last year
won the Seattle city champion
ship and took four straight
games to cop the state , crown
easily. .
Northwest Champions
They went on last year to
the northwest. regional cham
pionship and their pitcher, Mon
te Geiger from i University of
Washington, was acclaimed most
valuable player Infielder Dick
Naish ran a close second. Team
record last year was 51 wins
and IS losses. .
Cheney's Washington Studs
expect to see .action, in more
than -55 games this year, trav
eling in the northwest and in
Canada. Fifteen, exhibitions have
been billed , with professional
Northwest League teams. They
are automatically entered in the
state" ABC playoffs.- This year
the Studs are in the Cascade
League. '
McCloud Foe
Of Cheney 9
Wednesday
Medford's Cheney Studs will
try to run their victory string
to six straight over Northern
Californian League rivals when
they take on one of the top
clubs in that circuit here Wed
nesday night.' ; '
McCloud will be the opposi
tion for the Studs in the non-
league ruckus. The Loggers at
present are tied with Tulelake
for leadership of the California
loop. -
t For the Studs it will be the
fourth foe from the NCL this
year. They have trimmed Yreka
three times, Mt. Shasta once at
Scott Valley once.
Flay Tulelake
Latest victory for McCloud
was a wild 13 to 12 nod over
Dunsmuir. The Loggers headed
12 to 2 at one stage of action.
Today and Monday the McCloud
nine has the chance to take over
the loop lead alone. It wai
matched against Tulelake today
and on the holiday will - scrap
Oorris, the. cellar team in the
cucuit. f
While the Loggers will have
a couple of tussles over the
It ng week end, the Studs are
involved in three. They played a
St uthern Oregon League scuffle
1 st night at Coquh-'e aid meet
that team again this afternoon in
league play and on Monday in
non-loop action.
Just ; whom the Studs - will
have on the hill against Mc
Cloud -depends on what order
the pitchers are used at Coquille
andon how much they are, used.

Poston raced the 1,945 miles
in his F84E in three hours, 32
minutes an average speed of
546.505 miles per hour to win
the race of Air National Guard
pilots.
He was the first of the 19
pilots finishing the race to flash
across the finish line. . Three
others were , forced out. of the
race due to trouble.
Made One Step
Poston, a 35-year-old veteran
pilot of two years, said he had
to make one stop.
"I had to put down in Lincoln,
Neb., for more fuel," he said. "I
got in and out of there as fast
as I could and didn't even take
time out for coffee."
Poston flew P-38's-in the Pa
cific area during World War II
and was credited with shooting
down three enemy planes and
one probable. He also flew 25
missions over Korea in the more
recent conflict and is now a full
time National Air Guardsman,
serving as base detachment com
mander at Lockburn Air Force
Base, Columbus.
Poston's average speed was
less than the speed which won
the race a year ago. It also was
far less than the speed of many
other entrants. But officials used
a new scoring system this year.
Planes Handicapped
They handicapped all planes,
figuring in the size of fuel tanks
and other factors. Poston, who
had one of the biggest handicaps,
was finally given an adjusted
time lower than all other, fin
ishers. ,f
The fastest pilot was Capt.
George C. McCrory of Pennsyl
vania's Air National Guard. He
roared the distance at the av
erage speed of 611.27 miles per
hour. His elapsed flying time
was some 18 minutes less than
that of last year's winner, Lt.
Charles J. Young Jr., of New
Jersey.
McCrory had only a small
handicap for his F84F however
and unofficially was listed sixth.
Second place went to . Capt.
Arnold G. Wackerman, of Tona
w'anda, N.Y., whose average
speed was only 491.27 miles per
hour and who took nearly 47
minutes longer to fly the dis
tance than McCrory.
Jack M. Burden of Houston,
Texas, was third. His average
speed was 496.22 miles per hour.
Three, Didn't Finish
Three pilots didn't finish.
Capt. Dale Connolly of Illinois
blew a tire as he landed at Buck
ley Naval Air station in Denver,
and although he brought his
plane to a halt on the runway
without further damage, he de
cided not to continue because the
time needed to replace the tire
gave him no chance to win.
Capt. W. Russell Miller of Con
necticut landed at Battle Creek,
Mich., and no reason was given
for his decision not to continue.
Capt. Charles Carmichael of
Charlotte, N. C. dropped out of
the race at Dee Moines, when his
F86A blew a tire as he braked
to a stop to refuel. The plane was
undamaged.
