Studs Face Bearded Nine
In Game Here Wednesday
The famed House of David
baseball team from Beloit, Wis.,
will furnish the opposition for
the Medford Cheney Studs in a
game starting at 8 p.m. Wednes
day at the fairgrounds park, and
the contest has been booked as
one of the major sports attrac
tions in this area this season.
The bearded aggregation is
managed by George Anderson,
a utility player who has been
with the Davids since 1923 and
has piloted the group since 1942.
The Davids, who have been
touring the northwest, promise
to provide entertainment which
is said to be worth the price of
admission alone. Bobo Nicher
son, the Screwball of Baseball,
takes part in the famous "pep
per game" in the fifth inning,
Oregon Man
WinsWorld's
Longest Race
Redding, Calif. (U.R) Ar
vid Nyleen, Willamania, Ore.,
swept into Kutras lake 13 min
utes ahead of seven other big
boats to win the tortuous, 316-
mile Stockton-Redding . diamond
cup race Saturday.
Nyleen traveled the distance
up the Sacramento river and
through the turbulent waters of
Jron Canyon and China Chutes
in seven hours, nine mintes and
36 3-5 seconds. Harold Concklin,
Ephrata, Wash., was second
with a lapsed timeQof seven hours
and 22 minutes and 21 seconds.
Nyleen took a $1,000 pot, and
another $1,000 went to the next
three finishers, including Conck
lin, Frank Pennisi, Daly City
(7:27.54) and M. A. Bailes, Oak
land (7:36.22 3-5).
One Mishap
In the one mishap that marred
Fje world's longest outboard
race, the boat driven by Al W.
ipnes, Hollywood, flipped over
near Isleton, but he climbed back
in and finished the race unhurt.
Four classes of boats finished
a two-day race over the same
course Saturday with Don Quin
livariVa Torrance airplane pilot,
winding the "big" DU class in
7:38.35. H&was followed by Mike
Lehikaine, Oakland (10:46.31).
Bud-David, Modesto, won the
AU class in 9:54.23; Lavere
Brown, Salinas, 'took the BU
class in 8:26.51; and Don Schwar
zenbach, Los Angeles, won the
"36" class in 9:03.50.
and contributes to the amusing
side of the contest.
Comedy by Bobo
Among Nickerson's tactics are
bat juggling and pantomine
pitching to the New York Yan
kees. During the game, he
clowns along base lines, "assists"
umpires and demonstrates how
not to hit and run bases.
Bobo also holds the world's
record of catching a baseball
dropped from an airplane flying
650 feet above ground.
But aside from comedy, the
Davids provide good competition
for any team with a roster of
players who have had major
league, minor league, college
baseball and service background
Traveling Players
Among players on the travel
ing squad are pitchers Homer
Garner, Bill Lavello, John Bo
dine, Edward Logan, Bill Tim-
ko, James Keenan, Chuck Liska,

Tarn O'Shanter's "All American"

with a 69 for 207.
Thomson, making his third ap
pearance in the event and who
led the tourney at this same
point last year, began the day
two strokes up on iord and ne
increased the margin to three
after nine holes yesterday, when
he was two under par with a

But Ford chipped four inches
from the pin on the 10th hole to
pull a stroke closer with an
eagle and he gained another
stroke with a par on the 14th
compared to Thomson's bogie

The Chicago White Sox lead
in the American league pennant
race was reduced to one percen
tage point Saturday when the
cellar-dwelling Baltimore Or
ioles walloped the Pale Hose,
8-1, behind the home-run hit
ting of Dale Philley and Gus
Triandos.
The New York Yankees and
the Cleveland Indians both blew
excellent chances to take over
the lead. The Yankees suffered
a 7-5 defeat at the hands of the
Detroit Tigers, while the Wash
ington Senators edged the In
dians, 6-5.
Following these upsets, Chi
cago held down first place with
a .594 percentage, while New
York and Cleveland had identi
cal marks of .593.
The Orioles wrecked the
White Sox with a six-run upris
ing in the third inning, picking
up four runs on a grand-slam
homer by Philley and adding two
more on a homer by Triandos.
Erv Palica held the White Sox
to three hits in seven innings
as he gained his first victory
since May 17.
The fifth-place Tigers,, who
now trial Chicago by 5V4 games,
rallied for four runs in the sev
enth inning to defeat the Yan
kees. Pinch singles by Jim Del
sing and Frank House highlight
ed the Tigers' uprising and help
ed offset a three-run homer by
Yogi Berra in the eighth.
Relief Pitching Wins
Fine relief pitching by Spec
Shea enabled the Senators to
defeat the Indians. The ex-Yankee
right-hander choked off a
Cleveland rally in the sixth In
ning and went on to complete
3 2-3 innings of shutout pitching.
The Kansas City Athletics ral
lied for three runs in the ninth
inning to defeat the Boston Red
Sox, 6-5. The Red Sox, who re
mained two games back of Chi
cago, gained a 5-3 lead with
three runs in the seventh but
Kansas City struck' back to post
its second straight victory over
Boston.
There were surprises, too, in
the National league as the Pitts
burgh Pirates handed the Mil
waukee Braves their fourth
straight loss, 2-0, and the Cin
cinnati Redlegs walloped the
New York Giants, 13-4.
Bob Friend limited the Braves
to five hits as he outdueled Ray
Crone and registered his eighth
triumph of the season. Crone
allowed only seven hits, but one
of them was a fourth inning hom
er by Dale Long.
Drives in 5 Runs
Wally Post drove In five runs
with a homer and a double as
Ted Kluszewski walloped his
36th homer to lead the Redlegs
to victory. Art Fowler missed
a shutout when he gave up three
singles, a sacrifice fly and a three
run homer to Sid Gordon in
the ninth.
In a night game at St. Louis,
the Philadelphia Phillies edged
the Cardinals, 5-3, on a two-run
homer by Stan Lopata in the
eighth inning. Former St. Louis
Pitcher Murry Dickson halted his
old mates with six hits in gain
ing his ninth triumph of the year.
Harvey Haddix was the loser.
