came the topf avorite lor the
coveted women's title at the
Wimbledon Tennis champion
ships Saturday by defeating
Louise Brough, the reigning
queen of that tournament, 2-6,
6-4. 6-4.
The triumph, scored in the
Women's Final of the Northern

Miss Gibson her ninth straight
European Singles title.
But the victory took on add
ed significance because Mis

ranked U. S. woman star, in the
semi-finals. The Wimbledon

ROSEBURG, GP CAPTURE
JUNIOR LEGION OPENERS
An unearned marker gave
Roseburg a 1 to 0 nod over Med
ford - Central Point American
Legion junior baseball team Fri
day evening in a tangle featur
ing a tight, terrific pitching duel
between Dick Smith and Henry
Putney.
Putney, hurling his one and
only tussle for the Medford Le
gion nine this season, allowed
only one hit. The Medford-CP
crew smashed two bingles off
Dick Smith, tosser of Glide high
school's state B title team.
The ruckus was the opener in
Oregon District 43 for both
teams. In another district scrape
Grants Pass whacked Myrtle
Point 7 to 1.
Roseburg, playing on its home
diamond got the lone run of
the game in the first inning. Ron
Beamer drew a base on balls.
He went to second on a passed
ball. Then Bill Rudzik flied to
right field. In the dusk the ball
popped out of Fred Herrmann's
glove. That permitted Beamer to
score.
Nose Broken
It wasn't until the sixth In
ning that Roseburg got its hit
off Putney. And oddly the smash
by Roger Bissonette broke the
nose of, Jim Putney, brother of
the Medford twirler. The ball
took a bad hop, struck the third
baseman anrl knocked him out.

baseball park here.
The hassle is billed for 2 p.m.
Bend and Medford opened the
series last night.
Pearce and Zaniker both are
from Oregon State college. A
Bend uniform was worn by
Pearce last summer.
Manager Jack Cooney is ex
pected to choose between Jim
Kelly and Jerry Droscher for
this afternoon's pitching assign
ment. The pitching choice for
either team could depend much
on how last night's game went.
Cooney also has Don White, Bill
Selsor, Derald Wooton and Ter
ry Maddox on the Stud tossing
staff. Skipper Chris Christenson
of Bend also has Ray Lundy
who played for Molalla last

got the hits off Smith. Owsley
led off the game with a double
and Peery singled in the fifth.
Smith struck out 12 Medford
Central Point batsmen and Hen
ry Putney recorded six whiffs.
The Grants Pass fray at Myr
tle Creek was called in the top

Jantze, however, has signed a
St. Louis Cards pact and his
availability for the week end was
uncertain.
-Christenson is a former OSC
player and has won all-state
semi-pro honors. He is coach at
Corvallis high school. Jantze, an
Oregon Stater, was Bend's most
valuable player last season.
Luby, also a catcher, played
OSC Rook ball this year. Roth
was with Coos Bay-North Bend
in 1955.
Both Medford and Bend are
members of the Southern Ore
gon league. However, this week
end's games are non-counters.

when Medford goes to Drain.

ored Fabius in the stretch at
Delaware Park Saturday to win
the $50,300 Leonard Richards

lengths.
Fabius, winner of the Preak-:
ness and Jersey stakes in his last
two starts, was an odds-on favor

26.241 turf fans, but he let them
down badly.

William H. Pringle, national
president of the Izaak Walton
League of America, and Rollin
E. Bowles, Oregon division IWL
president, will be taken on a
tour of the upper Rogue river
Wednesday. .
The jaunt will be made with
the present hopes for flood con
trol measures and with past pro
posals for development of Rogue
basin water resources in mind.

Col. Paul Weiland, Medford
IWL state director, and Cole Riv
ers, Grants Pass, district fish bi
ologist of the Oregon State
game commission, and possibly
others will take Pringle and
and Bowles on the Rogue trip.
Pringle, of Pierre, S.D,, is cur
rently visiting Walton chapters
around the country. He will at
tend a joint meeting of the Jack
son County, Ashland and Rogue
River (Grants Pass) chapters at
Grants Pass Wednesday evening.
A picnic dinner is, planned at
6:45 p.m.
Arrives by Plane
The national president will ar
rive at the Medford airport from
San Francisco on Wednesday
morning. Bowles will arrive on a
later plane from Portland. Prin
gle will be in Oregon until June
18. He is expected to visit three
IWL chapters in Portland and a
Sunday afternoon party is plan
ned for him. Pringle was elevat
ed to the presidency after having
served as chairman of the IWL
national executive board.
Jackson county Waltonians
have expressed their favor to
ward Rogue flood control but are
opposed to any multi-purpose de
velopment plan which would
mean the end of salmon and
steelhead runs in the river. Prin
gle is expected to hear the views
of members of all three chapters
on the matter.
Unscreened turbine intakes
have been listed as possibly
the No. 1 factor in decline of
salmon and steelhead runs on
the Rogue. Ideal is making prep
arations now for screening in
takes at its plant. The federal
House of Representatives has ap
proved and the Senate is consid
ering a $208,000 allocation for
screens at Savage Rapids.

Fanfare
Efforts of Frank Mprris, for
mer AU-American track star at
Medford high school, to over
come the crippling effects of
polio and return to topflight
hurdle competition were related
in some detail last week by Al
Gould in his Campus Canvass
column in the Oregon Journal.
The Journal sportswriter de
scribed Morris as "quite an ex
ample for the faint of heart.
Said Al, "He's giving it a big
battle. Even if he never makes
it all the way back to his goal,
his perserverance in winning
his lonesome personal battle will
have won him fully as many
admirers as did his tremendous
competition on - the track in
earlier days."
Morris, who finished Medford
high in 1951, set state records
of :14.4 and :19.3 in the high and
low hurdles for the Black Tor
nado. He set the state AAU prep
marks of :14.7 and 20.1. From
Medford hS went to University
of Washington where as a fresh
man he -won both high and low
hurdles in the Northern Division.
Frank then transferred to Ore
gon and it was during his year
of ineligibility that polio struck.
LEG MUSCLES DAMAGED
The star athlete recovered
from the illness but the mus
cles of his legs, particularly
the right, were hit. Many
thought his track days were
over. Not Frank. Gould re
ported that Morris' gutty try.
through fierce determination
and personal sacrifice, have
carried him a long distance
toward recovery but that, even
now, after hours of driving
himself over the track and
working out constantly, Frank
is still far short of his goal
of returning to rivalry on top
flight level.
His right leg, lead leg for
hurdling, didn't have the re
- action 'speed of his Medford
high and Washington hurdling
days.
Gould said that Morris is
spending most of his time at
the high jump pit now and
clearing 5 feet 9 inches con
sistently. His leg isn't quite
the handicap it is in hurdling.
"In years to come," Gould
concluded, "he might well be
wiped off the books (by hav
ing his records broken) but
he'll not be forgotten. Fight
ers like that live forever and
are never forgotten."
FISH STORY
This is a fish, story we've been
holding on to for some time:
Ivan Ekberg of the radio sta
tion KYJC staff knows how to
catch that fish that got away
the other fellow's fish. 'Angling
with Orville Pettijohn on Rogue
river one day this spring, Ekberg
brought in a trout with a hook
and leader in its mouth. The two
went on another occasion to
their fishing spot above Gold
Hill. Ekberg caught another fish
with a hook and leader in its
mouth. They went a third time
to the same place and the same
thing happened.
Each time the trout was eight
or nine inches long. Ekberg
swears that he kept the fish each
time and that it was the same
trout grabbing' his hook.
PUTNEYS TO BEAVERTON
Jim and Henry Putney, twins
and third baseman and pitcher
for Medford high school, were
to leave this week end for
Beaverton where they will
make their home and attend
high school next year. The two
appeared at Roseburg on Fri
day in the only Legion game
they'll play in for Medford
this season. Both will be much
missed by the Legion squad
this summer and by the Med
ford high teem next spring.
They will enter Beaverton
high as seniors.
