MedforvQ&Tribune iPCDnBirs Jim Kelly To Chuck Against McCloud Nine Lefthander Jim Kelly, who twirled a seven-hitter last week against a California team and fanned 21 batters, gets another opportunity against a Bear state crew tonight. He's been named starting pitcher for the Medford Cheney Studs when they face the McCloud Loggers at the fairgrounds park here. Game time is 8 P.m. It is a non-league fray. Business Manager Bill Ask with reported that Marv Scherpf likely will get the call should Kelly require relief. McCloud is one of the front runners in the Northern Cali fornia loop and may give the Studs a harder time of it than previous NCL contingents have provided. Reports of last week's NCL activity have not been received here but McCloud was tied with Tulelake for the lead going into the holiday affairs and one of the two scuffles scheduled was against Tulelake. Seeks 61h Decision Medford has yet to fall to a Northern California foe this sea son. The Studs have beaten Yreka three times and Mt. Sha sta and Scott Valley each once, That has the Studs tonight aim ing for its sixth straight success against clubs from south of the border. It was agamst Scott Val ley that Kelly got his last week's victory- The McCloud pitcher may be picked from among Don Nichols, Toreson and Kersten. Askwith will be field manag er for the Studs tonight since the regular skipper, Clarence Mellbye, is spending a few days with relatives at Silverton. Picking up the pieces of last week end's Southern Oregon Hillman Robbins Picked To Keep Colonial Title Memphis, Tenn. (U.R) A field which reads like a "who's who" in Southern golf opened a five-day battle today to block Hillman Bobbins' bid for his fifth straight Colonial Invitation golf tournament championship. The slender Memphis swinger has won the Colonial four times running since 1951, an almost unheard of feat for a tournament of this caliber. Some 130 golfers teed off this morning to open two days of medal qualifying for 30 cham pionship berths. Robbins and Walker Cupper Dale Morey of Martinsville. Ind., were auto matically qualified for the cham pionship flight, Robbins because he is defending champ and Morey because of his record and the fact he was unable to get here until Thursday. Robbins, the national intercol legiate champ, is favored to re tain his crown. But he faces stiff competition from players like Morey and Don F. Bisplinghoff of Orlando, Fla., North-South amateur champ and a semi-finalist in the British Amateur. U1285 flOOKT (F I t. KTIllH HO 111 tUII 1(1111 tf HITS HE CUU SMIRK OISTIUIIS CM PUT - UliaOII.
