A seven-run scorefest in the
first inning, ability of Pitcher
Fred Paine to scatter the nine
hits he gave up and the inability
of the home club to "hit 'em
where they ain't" on other oc
casions when they slapped the
ball helped the Bend Loggers
defeat the Medford Cheney
Studs It, to 1 yesterday after
noon and salvage the final com
bat of a three-game Southern
Oregon Baseball League series
at the fairgrounds park here. -
Medford trimmed the Lorgers
8 to 2 Saturday afternoon and
10 to 5 Saturday evening to
cop the series 2 and 1.
The Studs of Medford took
their turns with the big innings
on Saturday and it was with
vengeance that the central Ore
gonians determinedly romped
out in the opening canto of yes
terday's finale.
In other games Drain retain
ed its percentage tie for first
in the circuit by winning Sun
day games from Coquille 13 to
e-3 and 8 to 3 after dropping a
4 to 3 nod to the Coquille nine
on Saturday. Medford has third
spot in the standings.
Chuck Christensen, Maurice
Rasmussen, Ron Bowen and
Fred Paine each collected hits
off Medford starter Jerry Dro
scher in the canto. The twirler
bobbled a bunt and yielded two
bases on ballr and a flyout sac
rifice to account for five runs
A third base on balls filled up
the bases again and the young
Roseburg tosser gave way to
Jim Kelly with two men out
Rasmussen singled off Kelly to
drive in two more runs, both
charged to Droscher, who put
the men on base.
The Loggers got only four
hits after the big splurge. All
were off Kelly and each in a
separate inning. Derald Wooton
finished the game on the hill- for
Medford and was credited with
four full innings of hitless ball
in one of the bright spots de
spite defeat for the Studs.
One rap allowed by Kelly
was a second-inning solo homer
over the right field fence by
Jan Dinnell. In the fifth inning
Dinncl singled off Kelly and
Denny Lenaburg drew a base
on balls Fred Bennion's sacrifice
advanced the runs. Kim Brad
shaw fanned and Kelly was one
pitch away from whiffing Fred
Paine for the third out when a
wild toss permitted Dinnell to
score.
Kelly gave up singles to Ras
mussen and Bowen and walks
to three men In the sixth inning
and two runs crossed home.
Wooton took over on the mound
with none away and fanned
three consecutive batters to put
out the fire.
The former pro walked a man
In each of the three last innings
but struck out one more batter
and had good fielding support
to blank Bend the rest of the
way. There were two double
plays, Shortstop Dick Toney to
Second Baseman Twmk Feeler-
son to First Baseman Jack Coo-
ney in the eighth frame and
Wooton (who nabbed a liner) to
Cooney in the ninth.
Cooney doubled to right field
In the eighth stanza and went
to third base on a passed ball.
Wooton cracked a long fiy that
might have gone over the left
field fence had not Rasmussen
snagged It. Cooney scored after
the catch to prevent a Medford
shutout.
Paine struck out only two bat
ters and walked three. The
Studs were connecting with the
ball but couldn't get it through
or over the fielders sufficiently.
They hit in every frame except
the ninth but only in the fourth
panel when Wooton and Bill
, Martell singled could they get
more than one safety. Medford
hits came on most occasions
with' two men out.
John Kovenz hit three times
in four times up for Medford
and Jim Steffen slugged two for
four. Dinnel hit two for two.
Rasmussen three for five. Chris-
tenson two for three and Bowen
two for five for Bend.
Medford pitchers fanned eight
batters and walked 10.
Bill Martell's grand slam horn
er in the seventh inning was
the highlight of the 5-all dead
lock and the Studs picked up
a run in the eighth to round
out the scoring.
The Studs got only eight hits
to 13 by Bend but put a number
of their hits together with a hit
batter and four of the eight
walks issued by Bend tosser
Stan Dmochowsky. While six
errors were charged against the
Medforditcs, they came through
with three double plays to hold
down the Loggers. And Right
fielder Jim Steffen made one
fine throw to nip a Bend run
ner at the plate.
Medford came from behind
once and broke two ties in the
Saturday brush. Bend utilized
a double by Ron Bowen and
singles by Dmochowsky and
Dinnel for first inning tallies.
Medford came back with three
runs in the frame. Twink Peder
soa and Cooney got hits. Tiers
were two errors, a hit batter a
passed ball and a fielder's op
tion. Bend tied up the fray In the
third canto on doubles by Bowen
and Dinnel. The Studs went on
top 5 to 3 in the fifth. A bases
on balls, singles by John Kovenz
and Frank Roelandt and a
groundout by Cooney got the
two runs. Singles by Dinnel and
Bennion and an error got Bend
a run in the fifth panel. In the
seventh Rasmussen, Dmochow
sky and Dinnel got safeties to
knot the game.
In the seventh Kovenz drew
a walk but was picked off first
base in a disputed decision.
Then Roelandt, Cooney and
Wooton got free passes to load
the bags. Martell followed with
his homer. Bend players pro
tested that the ball had bounced
over the fence and was a ground
rule double. They were over
ruled by i plate umpire Virgil
Swanson. Even a two bagger,
however, would have given the
Studs runs enough to win.
Dick Toney's single, Cooney's
two-baser and an error were
combined for the eighth inning
run.

Final Trials
On LA Track
By HAL WOOD
.United Press Sports Writer
Bakersfield, Calif. (U.R) The
nation's hard-working athletes,
honed to razor-sharp condition
after a month-long series of top
competitions, moved into Los
Angeles today for the long
awaited Olympic trials.
Nearly 300 athletes and just
about as many officials from the
AAU, NCAA and the armed
forces, will get down to the busi
ness of seeing who will get the
trip to Australia next November.
The competition opens on Fri
day and finishes on Saturday.
The final testing ground for
the Olympic trials was the Na
tional AAU track and field meet
that ended here Saturday night.
The athletes proved that they are
in tip-top condition by smashing
eight National AAU records;
breaking one world mark and
tieing another.
Best Examples
The best examples of the phy
sical fitness of the athletes came
in two events:
(1) The 800-melers, where
Arnie Sowell won, but the first
seven men finishing broke a
seven-year-old mark. Sowell was
clocked in 1:47.6 against a 1:50.0
mark set by Johnny Woodruff in
1937;
And (2) the pole vault, where
18 men started and it took ex
actly five hours before Rev. Bob
Richards cleared the bar at 15
feet and was declared the win
ner. Among the other records set
were the world mark of 13.4 in
the 110-meter high hurdles by
Jack Davis of the Navy; the
world-equalling mark of 10.2 by
Monday. June 25, 1958

seconds better than a 1934 record

The new field marks were a
59 'feet, 1M inch toss by Ken
Bantum to beat Perry O'Brien
in the shot; and Harold Connol
ly's 205 feet, 10V4 inch hammer
throw.
yesterday in a preliminary to
