f t , Two (gtaigy mm Spirit Foreseen in 'Civil War1 Two baseball aggregations, both having the same sponsor and each determined not to be shown up by the other, will aim to outdo each other this week end at the fairgrounds ball yard here. The "civil war" with antici- pated high spirited contention matches the Medford Cheney Studs of the Southern Oregon League with the Washington Studs of the Cascade League in the Puget Sound area. They scrap at 8 p.m. on Saturday and at 2 p.m. on Sunday. J'Play ball" will be the theme and only ceremony may be pre game introduction of players. The Cheney team from Wash ington will be made up of young players while the Medford nine will be a combination of young and veteran players. However, the Washingtonians have plenty of experience and solid baseball background despite their youth. Last year the club was Seattle city, Washington state and north west regional titlist of the Amer ican Baseball Congress. Several of the players have received most valuable player or all-star recog notion. A 14-man roster, players and a manager, was announced today for the Washington club. Infield- ers will include Bob Jacobs from West Seattle high, Dick Minice from Cleveland high of Seattle, and Dick Naish from Seattle uni versity. Both Jacobs and Minice r 'Lit r ii'n' '!' , '"o'i"'" ''"jjfflr- T'MM-JwtfBriin' n " ill SHINES FOR WASHINGTON STUDS Baseball fans will have the opportunity to see a player who has awed spectators of the Puget Sound area with his all-around athletic ability Saturday night and Sunday afternoon when the Washington Cheney Studs are here for their baseball engagement with the Medford Cheney Studs. The raved about athlete is, of course, Luther Carr (above) up from Tacoma's Lincoln high. A crackerjack baseball outfield er, Carr is equally at home oh the football field and on the cinder track. His long football runs wowed Tacoma fans and Carr, in addition to being a sprinter, holds the Washington prep broad jump record. Only 18 now, Carr was with the Studs last year and paced them in hitting. His tremendous speed is an asset once he gets on base. Carr is a six-footer who weighs around 180 pounds.

Naish ranked high in the estimation of experts at last year's regional tourney. Among outfielders are Luther Carr from Lincoln high' of Ta coma and Ray Christianson of University of Washington. Both flayed in the Seattle-State af fair, Christianson as a catcner. Carr is the most publicized play er on the club because of his all-around athletic ability. He led the Studs in the hitting de partment last year although just 17. Pitchers, top men of the Che ney staff, coming will be Monte Geiger, George Kritsonis and Ron Georger. Geiger, from U of W, was most valuable player in the regional fray last year. Kritsonis is from Seattle U. and Georger from Lincoln high of Tacoma. Joe Budnick is skipper of the team. The main contingent is ex pected to arrive here by plane from Portland about 4 p.m. Sat urday. They are to travel from Tacoma by car. One car, with equipment, is to drive all the way to Medford and may have a couple of players in addition to the 13 listed. The team will stay at Pulvers motel. The Medford Studs will have Warren Noyes, Terry Maddox, Derald Wooton and Jim Kelly available for pitching duty this week end. Marv Scherpf is un likely to see duty. His wrist was bruised by a batted ball against McCloud, Calif., on Wed nesday. Ron Maurer and Howard Mor ris may share the catching with Jack Cooney at first base, Jack Fassett at second, Ed McCul lough at third and Bob Selsor at shortstop. Choices in the out field may be among Chuck De Autremont, Bill McLean, , Mad dox, Wooton and Noyes. Both teams are sponsored by Cheney Lumber company.. Ben Cheney of the firm has said that often, when he gets to see one of his teams play, it loses. He's sure of a winner this time. The young Washingtonians are a strong unit but the competition the Medford Studs have faced this season is considered tougher even than the other team has met.

" ) ' L J Clash RVL Contests This Sunday . Rivalry resumes in the Rogue Valley Baseball League this Sun day after a lay-off over the holi day week end. The schedule calls for Butte Falls at Eagle Point, Ashland at Glendale and Grants Pass at Camp White. Glendale will be out to strengthen hold on first place in the standings while the Camp Whiters will aim at ending the dispute concerning their right to sole hold on second position. Whiters say that before their last meeting with Grants Pass the teams agreed that the fracas would be a league counter. Grants Pass was just bowing into the circuit. A later report from Grants Pass was that the affair had been ruled out as a league fray. Camp White, however, has not been notified of any such action. ROGUE VALLEY LEAGUE STANDINGS W. L. Pet.
