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

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.

played in the Seattle-State all-
star game last month. Jacobs
was named most valuable player
and was an all-stte ABC player
last year at the ge of 16. 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.

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.

at U of W for a quarter. Since
