Jun. 7. 1958 Capital Squirrels Face New Danger placed throughout the park and specially treated nesting mate rial placed in the new ones in an effort to halt the spread of the disease, he added. Meantime, he warned, persons in the habit of feeding the little rodents should avoid contact with them inasmuch as the dis ease, a skin disorder, is trans missible to humans. The spokesman said NCP nat uralists first learned of the sca bies outbreak in the park through an anonymous tip, ap parently from a close observer Summer Swim Classes Sefef Eagle Point Eagle Point Children of Eagle Point area, eight years of age and older, who are inter ested in learning to swim may register for swim classes for the summer at Eagle Point high school office.

MedforivTribuni; IPdDffiT Washington (U.R) White sylvania Avenue. House squirrels, hitherto faced with banishment if found Asked if any of the diseased rodents had made their way to White House grounds, an NCP spokesman said, "We just don't know but we're watching." The spokesman said that at the end of the squirrel nesting season, about June 1, as many of the squirrels as can be trapped will be sent to the National Zoological Park for examination and treatment. scratching up President Eisen hower's putting green, are now confronted with danger from an other quarter. An outbreak of scabies among squirrels in Lafayette Park, op posite the White House, has been discovered by National Capital Parks observers who are watch ing anxiously to see if-the con tagion will spread across Penn- Studs Defeat Yreka In Season Starter Old nesting boxes will be re- of squirrel life there. A four-run outburst in the sixth inning, featuring a home run blast by outfielder John Kovenz. was tha highlight last night as the Medford Cheney Studs ushered in their 1956 semi pro baseball season with a 9 to 5 non-league verdict over the Yreka, Calif.. Indians. The splurge gave the Studs, who gave evidence of power at the plate for their forthcoming Southern Oregon League cam paign, a comfortable cushion against a short rally by the In dians in the ninth frame. Med ford had gone into the sixth canto with a slim 4 to 3 margin. The Studs, who don't go to the post in the SOL until June 16, now turn their attention to a non-loop series with the Bend Loggers, fellow loop members. Bend comes here for games this Saturday night and Sunday after noon. KoYenz Shines Kovenz, coach of the state A-l runner-up Medford nign KlaiK Tornado, was the batting star for the Studs last night. He slammed the ball into fair terri tory three times in four trips to the plate and had four runs batted in. driving in two each with a triple and his homer. The Studs management has con structed a low fence 18 to 20 feet inside the old outfield wall to help boost the total of homers in the park but Kovenz socked the ball over the outer barrier with room to spare. His tap is the first by a Stud player to clear the right field wall. Jerry Droscher, like Kovenz making his debut in a Cheney uniform, pitched five-hit ball against Yreka but at times had trouble finding the plate. He issued 11 bases on balls, four of them in the opening inning. Droscher had seven strikeouts and hurled effectively through the middle innings then walked a couple of men each in the eighth and ninth frames. Eight Medford Hits The Studs clubbed eight hits off two of the three Yreka throwers and would have had nine safeties had not Derald Wooton been called out for fail ure to touch first sack on a rap which was good for three bases. Yreka pitchers walked five and whiffed five. The Indians got a single run in the first inning on the four bases on balls and a fielder's op tion. Wooton, playing third base, made two assists in cutting off scores at home plate. Medford came back, with two markers in the opening frame. After Doy Gatlin grounded out. Dick Toney singled. First Base man Jack Clark gave Wooton life at bat by dropping a pop foul. Then Wooton forced Toney at second base, taking first on the fielder's option. He went to second on a wild pitch. Frank Roelandt walked and both run ners advanced on a balk by hurler Dennis Bennett. Kovenz then tripled to center field to tally Wooton and Roelandt. Yreka combined singles by Clark and Don Costello with two Cheney misplays for two runs and a 3 to 2 lead in the third in ning. Medford went back on top 4 to 3 with two runs in the fourth. Kovenz was safe at first base on a hot grounder that first baseman Clark managed only to knock down. Manager Jack Cooney sacrificed Kovenz to sec ond. Jim Steffen got to first base when pitcher Bennett muffed his easy grounder. Bob Selsor was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Aids Own Caul Then Droscher helped his own cause with a two-base hit to left field, bringing home Kovenz and Steffen. In the sixth panel Dick Toney singled and went to second base on a passed ball. Wooton safetied him home, swiped second and went to third on a balk. Roe landt drew a base on balls. On a double steal try. catcher De Rushia's peg to second was bad and second baseman Dick Hock aday couldn't handle it. Wooton scored and Roelandt was safe. Kovenz smashed his homer with Roelandt tagging home ahead of him. The Indians got two runs in the ninth on a hit by DeRushia, an error, two bases on balls, a ground out and a wild pitch. Cheney crossed the home rubber for the last time in the final frame when Toney walked and stole second and Wooton fol lowed with his long rap. Toney hit two for three and Wooton two for five in the tussle and DeRushia two for four. MNESCORES: Vrek 103 000 002 S S 3 Medford 200 204 Olx 9 S 3 Bennett. Root (6.

Patent Issued on Metal Building Washington (U.R) The gov ernment has issued a patent on a framelcss, corrugated metal building capable of resisting much of the shock of an atomic blast. The building, designed and manufactured by ,the Behlen Manufacturing Co., Columbus, Neb., derives its unusual strength from its deeply corrugat ed panels which are bolted to a concrete footing and to each oth er. Other similar panels are bolt ed together to form the roof. Two of these buildings were tested in an atomic exercise at Yucca Flat, Nev., last year, and both survived the blast. The one located nearest "ground zero," point of detonation, suffered some damage, but the Federal Civil Defense administration de clared it to be intact and "offer- each other one three times.
