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. .

sity T)f Washington. He's swatting
.269 for the Studs.
Manley, .400, is a clutch hitter,
who was named to the all-state

handler William Haast said to

outrun the deadly cobra venom
in the veins of an 18-year-old

Haast, who claims a transfu

bite victims, was sped toward
New Orleans in the jet Thurs
day night in a desperate attempt
to save Miss Irene Laub after
she was bitten by the dread rep

from her snake farm at La

Lew Hoad Gains Net
Title at Wimbledon
Wimbledon, England (U.P.)
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.

No Definite Cure
Known for Ileitis
York Harbor, Me. 4U.R) Dr.
Arnold C. 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.

Stevenson Tours
Parched Croplands
In Midwest States
Creston, Iowa (U.R) Adlai
E. Stevenson today drove into
dry croplands of Northwestern
Missouri for more roadside talks
with farmers on the second day
of his farm belt tour.
The Democratic presidential
aspirant followed a flexible
schedule which allowed him to
stop at will at farms along the
way. He made his first over
night stop here Thursday night
on his four-day trip through
drought stricken areas of Iowa,
Missouri and Nebraska.
Stevenson's visit to Iowa came
on the heels of a soaking four
inch rain which began falling
Sunday. He took advantage of
the rainfall to boost his party.
Compliments of Democrats
"We sent the rain ahead with
the compliments of the Demo
cratic party," Stevenson said. .
He announced he had come to
Iowa to get first hand reports
from the farmers about falling
prices on their products.
"I would be able to learn very .
little from Secretary Benson in
Washington," he gibed.
The former Illinois governor
shed his coat and tie before sit
ting down cross-legged for dis
cussions with tanned farmers in
Seymour and Maloy.
The farmers did most of the
talking. At times, Stevenson sim
ply sat and listened as the farm
ers fell to arguing among them
selves about their problems and
the best solutions.
He said he wanted to "educate
myself on why farmers are go
ing broke."
