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.

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

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

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.
STILL SEEK COACH
St. Mary's high reportedly
is still looking for a coach to
replace Ed Hummel. The ex
Portland university athlete,
after one year here took a
coaching post with Central
Catholic high in his home
town. Billings, Mont.
