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."

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. The first-year players on hand
included George Washington, a
253-pound fullback who never
played college football, and Wis
consin's Ron Locklin and Jim
Patton of Mississippi. Locklin
and Patton are defensive backs.
