Washington Studs Mine Plays Medford Cheney Aggregation Here This The Medford Cheney Studs, who appear this season to have just as good a chance as any other club to cop the Southern Oregon Baseball League bunting, take time out from their circuit this week end to engage in a couple of battles for prestige. In the second matching of two clubs who have their home dia monds far apart but who have the same sponsor, Medford's SOL crew plays host to the Washington Cheney Studs of Seattle and Tacoma. Scuffles are billed for 8 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at the fairgrounds diamond south of Medford. A pair of triumphs over the Washington's would be a big boost to the Medford team's stature. The SOL club operates under American Baseball Con gress rules. Last year the Seat-tle-Tacoma aggregation was runner-up for the national ABC title after taking the regional championship. Line-up of the Washingtonians this year in cludes a number of the 1955 squad plus a number of new players whom it is felt strength en the club and give it more depth at key spots. Standout Series Contention between the two clubs sponsored Cheney Forest Products is expected to produce one of the top semi-professional baseball series at Medford this summer. The local Studs will be out to even up matters for a couple of losses a year ago. They will go into the scrapes with the memory that they should have won at least one of the games in 1955 and will be out to make up for that. While the Washington Studs are billed as a possibly stronger team this season, the Medford counterpart looms as tougher than the 1955 edition. That could make this week ends rivalry close and spirited. . The Washington Studs, who are meeting the Lakers at Klam ath Falls tonight, will have a J I - -1 ! ' V$ BLENDED WHISKEY,. J J " V - .

Second baseman could be Jim Harney, from Seattle U., who is hitting .545 for Cheney.

Carr, former star in Tacoma prep athletics, is regarded as having a great future in baseball and football and will be a sophomore this fall at Univer sity T)f Washington. He's swatting .269 for the Studs. Manley, .400, is a clutch hitter, who was named to the all-state club. Critser, .312, also would see some pitching service.

Lew Hoad of Australia estab lished himself as the world's best amateur tennis player to day when he won the Wimble don's Men's Singles Champion ship by defeating his country man, Ken Rosewall, 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-4. A capacity center court crowd of 15,000, which included Prin cess Margaret, Prime Minister Anthony Eden and Prime Minis ter Robert G. Menzies of Aus tralia watched the all-Australian final. This was Hoad's first Wimble don singles championship and returned to Australia the big silver trophy won by Frank Sedgman in 1952. The triumph also put Hoad in position for a $100,000 professional offer in the United States next winter. He had considered such an offer last year but changed his mind and decided to remain amateur another year. Hoad's power, both on serv ice and ground strokes, was the deciding factor in this battle be tween the two Aussie 21-year-old "whiz kids" who had beaten Americans to reach the final. Rosewall, master of the delicate lob and the excellent backhand, won only the second set when his game reached its peak. The final round in women's singles, matching surprising Shirley Fry of St. Petersburg, Fla., and Britain's Angela Bux ton, will be held Saturday. Hoad and Rosewall both gained Bick, Hanen Win In Southwestern Coos Bay, Ore. (U.P.)

Jackson, president of the U.S. section of the Interna tional College of Surgeons, told a regional meeting of the group Thursday there is no known def inite cure for ileitis. Jackson said the disease may recur despite surgery. Jackson, a well known sur geon, said doctors are not in agreement about whether remo val of the diseased portion of the intestine is preferable where conditions permit a choice. However, he said the decision to operate on the President seemed "the best procedure un der the circumstances." "Regardless of the operation," Jackson said, "ileitis may re cur." He said some patients "re main well for many years while others develop a recurrence within a few mo-.ths." Gout Said No Longer Big Medical Problem Chicago U.R) Drugs have taken the sting out of gout, and it no longer is a great medical problem, according to a Buffalo, N. Y., physician. Dr. John H. Talbott told the annual clinical conference of the Chicago Medical Society that the drugs colchicine and benemid have made management of gout easier than that of other chronic joint ailments. Talbott, professor of medicine at the University of Buffalo and physician-in-chief at the Buffalo General hospital, said colchicine reduces significantly the inci dence of acute attacks of the disease. He said benemid serves to eliminate uric acid from the body. Gout, a metabolic disorder, is associated with an excess of uric acid in the blood and chalky deposits in cartilages of joints. It once was looked upon as a disease which made its victims grouchy 'old men who. suffered intensely. Talbott said the two drugs and a few diet measures com bine to form a simple treatment. "More than 90 per cent of those afflicted suffer surprising ly little and are able to lead nor mal lives, if they follow a rela tively simple schedule of man agement," he said.
