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.

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.
Kovenz indicated that Henry '
Putney may be the twirler for
the Roseburg appearance tomor
row with Dick McLaughlin do
ing the catching. Dennis King
may be at first base, Larry Per
kins at second, Jim Putney at i
third and Gordon Owsley at sec
ond. Probable outfielders are
Ron Peery, Eldon Francis and
Fred Herrmann. j
Herrmann on Club !
Herrmann' is a Crater High'
player and is scheduled to see .
pitching duties for the Legion
nine. The other members of the
crew are from Medford high
and, except for Francis, were
on the Black Tornado's state A-l
runner-up club. Francis is a
javelin thrower on the track
team.
Sides said that 12 youths will
make the trip to Roseburg. The
team worked out yesterday eve- j
ning at the senior high diamond
and was to drill again at 5 p.m.
today. The manager is urging
every eligible boy interested in
the Central Point and Medford
areas to turn out. Boys born af
ter September 1, 1938 may par
ticipate. Medford and Roseburg tussles
are planned as night encounters
with the local club to vie at the
fairgrounds ball park. Grants
Pass and Myrtle Creek will play
home games in the afternoon.
Almost all games are set for I
Tuesdays and Fridays. Kovenz
said it is hoped to work other
games into the schedule.
