TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Studs To Bid For Second At Bandon Bidding for second position in the Southern Oregon Baseball League, the Medford Cheney Studs head for the coast this week end. They will be guests of the Bandon Millers Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. The Studs will have to do better than they did in the first half series with the Millers and they'll have to have help from the league-pacing Drain Black Sox to improve fully on their position. Other conflicts in the circuit are Coquille against Drain and Grants Pass against Roseburg. During the first half of the cam paign Coquille's Loggers handed the Sox the only losses they've had in the loop so far. Medford split with the Millers and Grants Pass divided with the Chiefs. Protest Hangs. The Studs are deadlocked with Bend for third place at present although a Grants Pass protest still hangs over one game. ."o decision has been reached on the GP beef which arose last Saturday night. It will take a pair of Cheney victories over the Millers and a revenge sweep by Drain over Coquille to Get Medford lone grasp on second position. The Studs trail the Loggers by one full game. A split with Bandon and two Drain wins or a dual win over the Millers and a Sox Logger split would give Medford a tie for second." A double loss to Bandon could drop the Studs into fourth or fifth position. Grants Pass and Roseburg will be out to break a deadlock for fifth. Attention Bowlers!

MEDFORDSlSTRIBUNB SEPODrnTTS Gold Cup Race: 1904 and 1955 SEATTLE'S 48TH RUNNING of the Gold Cup Race, world series of speed boat racing, on Sunday, August 7, will be a far cry from the first race for the American Power Boat Association's trophy back in 1904. In that first rare, Standard (top picture), owned by C. C. Riotte of the Columbia Yacht Club, won with a top heat speed of 23.6 miles per hour. Last year, Slo Mo V of Seattle, w on the 1954 Gold Cup with a best heat speed of 99.7 miles per hour. In lower picture, SIo-Mo-Shun V (nearest camera) follows the fabulous "IV", which set the world's straightaway mile speed record of 178.497 mph in May of 1952. (Picture of Standard courtesy of Natl. Assn. Engine and Boat MJgs.) Fanfare The act of Herb Peterson, Portland, state American Legion junior baseball commission chairman, in declaring Jerry Droscher, Roseburg Legion hur ler eligible last week end. was not consistent with a ruling he handed down against a player on the Medford Legion squad a year ago. According to the rule book we've seen, boys are not eligible to compete m American Legion junior baseball if they have played in an advertised semi professional baseball game. Manager Alva Perkins of the Medford team (Central Point Medford this year) has a letter received from Peterson last year saying that Donn Johnson, a shortstop candidate, was in eligible because he appeared in a Medford Cheney Studs fracas before the Legion season was underway. The last week end in May this season Droscher was winning pitcher for the Rose burg Chiefs against Medford's Studs. Yet he is declared eligible. Johnson, from Crater high, merely went in briefly as a base runner in one inning while the Roseburg youth played the whole game. j WONDER WHY ! We wonder why the ruling one way one time and the I complete reversal the next? ! It doesn't seem quite right. 1 We have nothing against lhe fine Roseburg team and their talented ace pitcher, but the ' rule book should be inter , preted the same for every j team even for innocent vio I lations. Otherwise there is un ; fair hardship on the club I which tries to live up to the letter of the book and dis : heartening to the players. Per .kins has made every effort to see that local players are : eligible. MAY NEED REVISION Actually, we see no harm in a boy playing in a semi-pro game, before his Legion slate or Only 1 0 DOffi ON All Hunting AND Camping Supplies! 111. 4 fo)ogue (? 1 1 On Approved jJJ U Credit I ' i By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sports Editor after it, so long as he receives no compensation other than the opportunity to play with and against more experienced play ers. Perhaps, the Legion rules now in the book could dc altered to clearly permit such participa tion. It's often the case tnat young high school baseballers come in handy to semi-pro clubs in the early season before col lege athletes can compete. COONEY HITS HARD Manager Jack Cooney, wielding a potent bludgeon, in the two Grants Pass games last week end and the Wednes day Coos Bay-North Bend con test set a terrific example for his Cheney Studs. If all the Studs' baseballers would fol low, Medford might have the hittingest team in semi-pro baseball. Nine hits in nine turns at bat is sensational. We slipped one hit in a Thursday story. Cooney had a 10 for 13 slugging mark for three games through last Wednesday night. His record for five games through that time was 16 for 24, a hefty .567. CHECK TO WRONG PLACE Harold Ashton, grad this year of Medford high who has been working on the Mail Tribune news staff this summer, has been operating a clearing house arrangement to channel results of Southern Oregon League baseball games to five daily papers interested. But he's had a hard time getting his first check from the league. His name was given wrong to League Sec retary Walt Reese, who mailed the check to Al Gould of the Oregon Journal instead of to Ashton.
