MEDFORDtf&TRIBUNt Fanfare By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sports Editor Central Point-Medford Ameri can Legion junior baseball play ers and team officials and man agers have come through with a showing of good sportsmanship which is deserving of praise and mention despite the fact that there is some feeling nothing should be said on the matter. They had good basis to pro test their Thursday interdistrict game with Roseburg because of an ineligible Lockwood player but passed up the opportunity in the interests of good sports manship, on the premise that tsames should be won on the field and on the idea that a pro test, too, could be taken as an alibi for defeat. Elsewhere in today's sports section is a story in which Pitcher Jerry Droscher of Rose burg's Lockwood Motors was de clared ineligible for Legion bail. That evidence was shown to Roseburg officials before the CP-Medford game but Droscher was called on to pitch anyway. The Lockwoods added another win to the one over the CP Meds Wednesday and claimed the right to enter state semi finals. Droscher pitched for the semi-pro Roseburg Chiefs against the Medford Cheney Studs early in the season. Semi-pro ball dis qualifies a boy for Legion play. LUCCHESI SKIPPER Frank Lucchesi. ex - Med ford Rogues professional base ball manager, is managing the Pioneer League all-stars to night in a game against Great Falls. He is skipper of the Pocatello Bannocks this year. Lucchesi piloted the Rogues in 1951. GORBOUS TRADE PRIZE A number of Philadelphia baseball fans feel that Glen Gorbous, ex-Medford Nugget, was the prize of the trade when the Phillies of the National League obtained him in their deal earlier this year with the Cincinnati Reds. Th3t's the word from Mel Carpenter, former Medford pro baseball business manager. Car penter, now with a truck sales firm at Eureka, Calif., wrote to Mr. and Mrs. Ken Hamner, of Holland hotel, concerning a trip to Philadelphia. He visited with Gorbous, who said he wished to be remembered to fans here, and saw several Phillies' games. Gor bous, first player from a Med ford club of the now defunct Far West League to reach the majors, is maintaining a good batting average, Mel reported. Glen was here In 1949. Mel was business manager three years of the Medford club's four of operation, 1949, 1950 and 1951. STEELE TO DEFEND Earle Steele. ex-Medford high and ex-University of Ore gon gridder. likely will see duty with the Los Angeles Rams as a defensive halfback. Harry Glickman, who heads Oregon Sports Attractions, says that Steele probably won't understudy Norm Van Saddler Refuses To Concede Bout Manila (U.R) World feath erweight champion Sandy Sad dler indignantly refused Satur day to concede he lost Wednes day's 10-round non-title bout to Flash Elorde of the Philippines. Saddler was nursing a twin black eye suffered in the bloody fight with 21-year-old, unranked Elorde when he left by plane for Tokyo. "Did he win?" Saddler asked. "Heck, no. All he did was hit and run. What kind of fight was that anyway?" Referee Unfair The Negro fighter said the referee, U. S. Army Major Jack Sullivan of Tokyo who scored the fight eight rounds to two in favor of the Filipino, was unfair. "A good referee goes by what he sees, not what the other guy tells him," Saddler said. "What did he do? He turned the people against me." Mimicking Sullivan, Saddler said, "It was a laugh." He paused and then went on: "Well, that's it. A stranger has a very rough going in a town where he fights a hometown boy. But the idea of him going 10 rounds with a champion kills me." He said, however, that Elorde was "all right. He has a bright future. He will develop into a good fighter." Studs Eye 'Jacks Series; Have Means of Comparison FLORISTS VICTORS Corvallis (U.R) The Erv Lind Florits of Portland defeated the Phoenix, Ariz., Queens, 8-1, here Friday night in a women's Softball game. Brocklin at the quarterback spot. Steele succeeded Van as Oregon's quarterback in 1949. Glickman is sponsor of the Rams versus Pittsburgh Steel ers pro grid fray in Portland on August 6 and the Rams ver sus New York Giants mix on August 28. The sports pro moter also mentions a success ful fishing trip experienced by Van Brocklin on Rogue river. Security Changes May Be Needed For Ike's Arms Data Trade Plan By CHARLES CORDDRY United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Govern ment legal quarters debated Sat urday whether President Eisen hower's plan for swapping arms data with Russia can be carried out without any changes in security laws. A spokesman for Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell Jr. described the plan advanced at Geneva as "legally feasible." That implied a tentative belief that the Presi dent might authorize Russia to receive military data and carry out air reconnaissance under his executive power. But the Justice Department conceded that a lot of legal study would be involved if Russia were to accept the dramatic Eisenhower proposal. Defense Department lawyers, pointing out that final decisions on the laws would rest with the Justice Department, said never theless that they saw at least two possible barriers to execu tive action without congressional action. They cited the espionagj laws and the Atomic Energy Act. Wants Congressional Approval In any case, many officials as sumed, Mr. Eisenhower would want some sort of congressional approval before exchanging de tailed military establishment blueprints with Rusisa and go ing ahead with aerial photogra phy over this country and the Soviet Union. That would be in line with Mr. Eisenhower's rec ord of seeking congressional co operation. Most of the laws concerning military flights and disclosures of military information are per missive that is, they author ize the President to spell out what is secret. For example, the executive branch of the government bans flights over specific atomic ener gy installations and air bases and describes what zones of the country commercial planes and military aircraft may enter with out prior clearance. Flight plans must be filed in advance by planes going into air defense identification zones laid out along the western, northern and eastern borders of the country. Planes venturing into these areas off schedule or unannounc ed are intercepted by jet fight ers and inspected to determine whether they are friendly. Some Changes Necessary Defense Department lawyers said a "hasty glance" at several Jaws suggested the possibility that some changes might be necessary before the arms data swapping plan could go forward. They cited espionage law pro visions covering the transmittal of defense information to foreign governments, the photographing and sketching of defense instal lations and air reconnaissance of such installations. They also cited atomic energy law provi sions covering disclosure of re stricted data such as manufac ture of atomic weapons. Generally speaking, however, these lawyers held that Cong ress gave the President author ity to decide what military in formation is secret and thus he can change classifications on his own initiative. How do the Medford Cheney Studs compare to the Coos Bay North Bend Lumberjacks whom they play here this Wednesday and Thursday nights? Some of the answer is being given this week end at North Bend. For the 'Jacks are hosts to the Washington Cheney Studs in a two game baseball series. Advance billing of the Wash ington team, before it beat Med ford here 9 to 2 and 8 to 6 ear lier this month, listed the Seat-tle-Tacoma nine as the tougest Medford would face this season. Now the tendency is to give that rating to Coos Bay-North Bend. While light is being thrown on the comparison issue, the Studs are contemplating a big assignment in the forthcoming engagement with Manager Curly Leiningers gang. They have the experiece of past years in games with the bay area team. Ex Professionals The Lumberjacks boast a wealth of ex-professional, ex collegiate and semi-pro talent. Campbell Breaks "Water Barrier" In Jet Speedboat Lake Ullswater, England !U.R) Donald Campbell, battling agonizing pain in his back, be came the first man ever to break through the 200-mile-an-hour "water barrier" and live Satur day as he set a world speed re cord in his jet-powered boat. Campbell, 34-year-old son of England's late speedboat king, Sir Malcolm Campbell, rocket ed his two and one-half ton turbojet-driven hydroplane twice over a measured kilometer course at an average speed of 202.32 miles-per-hour. Water con ditions on this unruffled lake were ideal. Campbell thus recaptured for Britain the record held by Stan ley Sayres of Seattle, Wash. It was a dramatic victory of courage over the unknown "bar rier" which had claimed the lives of the only two men known to have broken it before. Every minute of the race across this picturesque lake was stark ag ony for Campbell, who had slip ped a vertebra during trial runs and refused to give up his speed quest. After the race, Campbell promptly announced he wants to take his jet boat to the United States to seek still faster speeds on American waters. Outstanding Rookies Work Out for Giants Salem, Ore. (U.R) Jim Lee Howell, head coach of the New York football Giants, said Saturday four practice sessions have convinced him the team has a standout group of rookie candidates. Howell and his staff put 19 rookies through morning and afternoon drills Friday and Sat urday.
