Milikian tallied on a ground out by Bob Paolinetti. Sid Seeman next sin gled to bring home Mayer, giv ing the Loggers a 2 to 1 edge. The side retired when Short stop Bob Selsor fielded Ted Toreson's swat, stepped on sec ond and threw to first base for double play. , Kelly struck out the first bat ter he faced in the eighth inning.

Washington Studs Don't Take Medford Nine Lightly For Series This Week End The Washington Cheney Studs the Evergreen State's stand out semi-pro baseball team for two straight years, reportedly won't be taking anything for granted Saturday night and Sun day afternoon when they come here to meet the Medford ver sion of the Cheney Studs.
