Red Sox 95; Mays, Medford Cheney Studs wrap ped up their 1955 Southern Ore gon League baseball slate in ap- propriate style in a week-end marred, however, by the biggest rhubarb of the season at the fairgrounds ball diamond. The Studs in one of their standout performances of the year turned back Coquille 13 to 4 on Saturday night and over took the Loggers 12 to 11 on Sunday to sweep the SOL finale series. Saturday night s scramble was interrupted for 40 minutes when Coquille threatened to quit the tussle if Umpire Darrell Cope- land continued at his post be hind the plate Intercession by League President Don Faber was required to get the contest moving again. Thedelay made the fourth inning an hour long and the whole scuffle consum ed 3V2 hours. Means by which the Studs won the two games contrasted sharp ly. On Saturday they pushed over five runs, enough to win, in the initial canto and padded out their count with markers in five other frames. Seven-hit hurling by Jim Kelly and good defensive play held down the Loggers, who, nevertheless, did get to Kelly and mass some pow er in the middle innings. On Sunday with Bob Selsor in the hero's role the Studs had to surge for four runs in the ninth inning to overcome Coquille. Selsor singled with the bases packed and one man out to drive in Jack Cooney with the win ning run. Medford had to erase a 4 to 11 deficit in the last three in nings of" the game. Each club pounded out 11 hits in the first six innings of the fuss but the Loggers were better able to com bine their bingles in that stage of the hassle and they had the help of five walks off Terry Maddox, Medford starting hurl er, while the Studs got only one off Skeeter Ellis. Score after six inning was 9 to 4. But in the last three cantos Medford outhit Coquille 11 to two. Derald Wooton, who contrib uted four hits, including a homer and a double, and three runs batted in for the afternoon, was also sufficiently effective as re lief moundsman. He put out the Logger fire in the sixth panel, faltered for a walk and two hits for two runs in the seventh but steadied through the eighth and ninth. Start Closing The Studs began to close the gap in their part of the seventh frame on a triple by Selsor, double by Bill McLean and sin gle by Maddox for a pair of tallies. Medford got two more runs in the eighth on doubles by Jack Cooney and Selsor and a single by Derald Wooton. That cut the count to 11 to 8. In the ninth McLean got on base on an error and Maddox doubled. Dave Douglass relieved Eliis on the. hill. Ed McCullough tagged him for a fly which drop ped in to right field for a single, scoring McLean. Maddox tallied on a passed ball and McCullough. went to second. Jack Fassett singled to left and Cooney fol lowed with a blast to right which was bobbled by Outfield er Joe Marchand. But Cooney got credit for driving in McCul lough with the tying marker. Derald Wooton was intention ally walked. Ron Maurer forced Fassett at home and Bill Pilgram came into pitch. Then Selsor came through. Wooton's homer came with one man on base in the first inning. Three hits gave Medford two runs in the fifth. Coquille scored once in the filth on a single by Lou Villea scusa and a double by Ellis and twice in the third on an error, a walk and hits by the same two Browns Nip GB Packers By UNITED PRESS The Cleveland Browns, who parlayed a stout defense and the kicking of Lou Groza to nine straight professional football di vision titles, appeared to have shored up the defensive holes that were so obvious in their re cent game with the College All Stars. The collegians daringly bolt ed through the veteran Cleve land line while former Notre Dame quarterback Ralph Gug lielmi, now of the Washington Redskins, completed 10 of 19 passes for 129 yards in a 30-27 upset for the defending National Football league champions. But it was like old times Sat urday night when the Browns rode over the Green Bay Pack ers, 13-7, on the strength of two field goals by Groza and a bril liant last-ditch goal line stand. The Giants bottled up the San Francisco Forty-Niners' running game and swept to four touch downs themselves in a 28-17 vic tory before 49,000 fans in Seat tle, Wash., while the Cardinals downed the Chicago Bears, 21-6, before 20,000 fans in the Gator bowl in Jacksonville, Fla.

Coquille used hits by Marchand, Garner and Joe Rowell in the sixth and three errors for three runs. Hit Four for Five Wooton fanned six in his 3 23 innings of relief. McLean and Wooton hit four for five, Selsor four for six, Cooney three for five and Cooney three for six. Selsor drove in three runs and Maurer two. Medford's five markers in the first inning Saturday came on singles by Jack Fassett, Jack Cooney, Derald Wooton and Jim Kelly. An error, Terry Maddox's fielder's option and a walk helped. For a single run in the third for a 6 to 0 lead, Cooney tripled to centerfield and tallied with two out on a wild pitch. Co quille got one run back in the fourth panel on singles by Roy Harrington and Chuck Humble and two walks. The Studs loaded the bags on two walks and a hit batter be fore the big beef in the fourth. After play resumed Selsor smashed a three bagger down the first base line to score three runs. Score was 10 to 1 in the fifth after Fassett singled, Coon ey walked, Maddox forced Cooney at second and Derald Wooton safetied to bring home Fassett. Roof Sags In the sixth canto the roof sagged against Medford Pitcher Kelly. He yielded a double to Pat Patterson, . singles to Don Mallott, Joe Rowell and Bill Pil gram and one walk. There was an error and fielder's option and when the stanza ended Coquille had three more runs. Gains Objective Medford got a single tally in the seventh on three walks and a rap by Selsor and padded out its count in the eighth with two runs when Cooney doubled and Derald Wooton tripled. Kelly, who reported last week that he wished to pitch one more good game before the end of the season, pretty well accomplished his objective. He struck out nine batters and gave free passes to five. In the first' three innings he set down all batters in order, fanning six. The middle innings, four, five and six, when he yield ed all of his hits and four walks were roughest. He faced only 10 men in the last three frames. PilgT-am for Coquille struck out eight in 6 13 innings but he had issued 10 bases on balls when he was replaced by Doug lass in the seventh. Cooney,' Derald Wooton and Kelly were Medford's heavy sluggers, each with three clouts. Cooney had a single, double and triple in four turns. Wooton three-baggered in one of his four official trips, and Kelley, who had five turns, socked a double. Wooton drove in four runs and Selsor (two for five, one a triple) brought in three. Kelly had two RBIs. Fassett hit two for five. No Logger batter got more than one hit but Mallot scored two runners. Team Off Field The disgusting rhubarb, oc curred after Coquille temper flared on the third pitch to Bob Selsor. Umpire Copeland called it a ball. Logger Manager Doug lass indicated his team would not continue the game with Copeland behind the plate. Studs Business Manager Bill Askwith appeared willing to have Cope and Ted Schopf, first base arbiter, switch posts, but Copeland as head limp stuck up for his rights. Douglass finally pulled the Loggers off the field. After long argument League President Don Faber went down from the stand and informed the Coquille nine that it had to" go ahead and play ball. Copeland finished the inning behind the plate then switched with Schopf.

Staters, SVSetro Knot 7-7 in Shrine Fracas Portland (U.R) A Port land Metropolitan all-star squad broke a four-game losing streak before 16,703 fans Saturday night, holding the State team to a 7-7 deadlock in the eighth annual Shriners' hospital all-star football game. Shooting for their fifth in a row victory, the State stars wound up instead with the first tie in the history of the series. Both touchdowns were made in the first quarter. The State team scored early when Neil Scheidel of South Salem inter cepted a pass and scored a few plays later from four yards out. Late in the first period the Metro lads came back to tie up the ball game. Ted Miller of Milwaukee climaxed an 84-yard drive with a touchdown plunge and then drove to pay dirt for the extra point. It took quarterback Miller two tries to make the conversion. He made it on the second after the Staters had been penalized for illegal use of hands. Another penalty scotched the State victory hopes in the fourth quarter. North Salem's Terry Salisbury punched into the end zone from three yards out, but a backfield in motion error nul lified the TD. The Metros then tightened up and knocked down two State passes Following the stalemated con test, Gene Schutzler, 169-pound back from Lake Oswego high school, took the most valuable player award. Other honors went to Vel West, La Grande, who was vot ed top State lineman. Neal Scheidel of South Salem was named outstanding State back. For the Metros, Bob Sturgis of Milwaukie was named best lineman and -Don Laudenslager of Gresham, best ball carrier. CHAMP GOES 4 ROUNDS Grossinger, N. Y.
