Rivals in the 2 p.m. second tussle of a two-game stand are the Medford Cheney Studs and the Washington Cheney Studs, both sponsored by Cheney For est Products. The crews engaged in '.t.eir opening ruckus here last night. Medford's edition of the Studs aims to atone for two setbacks at the hands of the Seattle-Ta- coma nine last year. The Wash ingtonians seek this season to uphold their prestige as last year's runner up for the Ameri can Baseball congress national mantle. They are the defending Washington and northwest titlists in ABC competition.. On Friday night the Washing ton club lost a 3 to 8 verdict to the Klamath Falls Lakers, a potent independent team. But the Studs of the Evergreen state were to be joined by four top players for their Medford series and should be stronger for their series here. Top Hitters Join The players missing the Klam- ath appearance but coming here were Monte Geiger and George Kritsonis, pitcher - outfielders, Mel Manley, outfielder, and Jim Harney infield. Statistics show them as top hitters for the Se-attle-Tacoma squad. Either Gei ger or Kritsonis is to be on the hill today. One of the two was to have thrown last night. Manager Jack Cooney will name his pitcher from Derald Wooton. Don White and Bob Sel sor with one of the three to have been the starter last night. Ron Dodge may handle the catching for the Washington nine. Ozzie Williams could be at first with Harney at second, Walski or Don Jacobs at third and George Grant or Jim Yurina at shortstop. Outfielders will be named from among Luther Carr, Kritsonis, Mel Manley, Roy Crit ser, Dick Binford and Geiger. Joe Budnich is manager. Medford Starters Likely starters for Medford are Frank Roelandt, catcher; Cooney first base; Bill Martell, second; Jim Taylor, third; Twink Paolo Rosi Trims Lopes New York (U.R) At last, 28-year-old Paolo Rosi from Italy has a "reputation" and the promise of a fight with a rank ing lightweight because of his upset, unanimous 10-round de cision over Joey Lopes of Sac ramento, Calif., at Madison Square Garden Friday night. Matchmaker Billy Brown said "I'll put Rosi oack in the Garden with Larry Boardman on Aug. 24 or 31." Boardman of Marl borough, Conn., is the fifth-ranking contender. Balding, hard-hitting Rosi whom none of the ranking 135 pounders wanted to fight "until he gets a reputation" had 25- year-old Lopes on his knees at the final bell in their excellent TV-radio scrap Friday night. Rosi weighed 137Vi pounds to Lopes' 134. Dellinger Plans August Wedding Eugene (U.R) Bill Dellin ger, University of Oregon track star and member of the United States Olympic team, will marry Miss Myrna Joan Mattheyer of Springfield August 12. Announcement of the engage ment and wedding date was made Friday by the bride-to-be's par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Itto H. Hat- theyer. The wedding will be in the First Baptist church here. Dellinger, whose home also is in Springfield, won the 5000- meter run in the recent Olympic trials at Los Angeles. He will represent the United States in this event in the Olympic Games in Australia in November. Springfield will honor the runner with a "Bill Dellinger Day" Monday. Hand Injury Postpones Elorde-Gallardo Bout San Jose, Calif. (U.R) A bout scheduled for Tuesday night be tween featherweights Flash Elorde of Manila and Dave Gal lardo has been postponed until Tuesday, July 24. because Elorde hurt his hand while training.

Cheney will be on hand for the game. . MDfOK&TKIBUlfl Grants Pass Legion Trips Medford-CP; JUNIOR LEGION" STANDINGS W. L. Pet.

For Industry Around You tell us your needs and ( don't ee sh.lV J rM NOT A I V," man y I Fanfare Bob Newland, coach of Med ford High school's perennial state championship track and field teams, has been named to a three-man committee to or ganize a National High School Track Coaches association. The appointment came while New- land was attending the Interna tional Track and Field clinic last month at Berkeley, Calif. Forrest Jameson, Palo Alto, Calif., was named chairman of the committee. Beverly S. Rockhold, Baytown, Tex., was the other man named. It is planned to pattern the prep tutor's organization after the National College Track Coaches association. There was some talk of the high school group having representation on the college association. Purpose of the organization, Newland re ported, would be to disseminate information from outstandmg coaches to others desiring it. SPOKE ON JAVELIN Nawland, only coach from n Orsgon high school at th international session, was al- 10 the only prep coach in the country lo have a part in the week-long clinic program. He spoke on javelin throwing along with Bud Held, world record holder, Frank Wetz ler, LaSalle college, and Ka leui Rampotti, Finland. Attendance at the clinic proved a great experience for the Medford mentor. Track coaches were on hand . from many countries nnd included a number who are coaches for their countries' Olympic games delegations. Newland said that in addition lo the regular clinic sessions in the mornings and. afternoons there were informal get-togethers in evenings and op portunities to watch the na tion's top college . athletes train for the NCAA meet and to talk to them. The Medford coach particu larly enjoyed talking to Gosta Holmer, Swedish Olympic coach, with whom he has cor responded, and Herb McKin ley, Jamaican 400-meter race. Holmer is a distance expert. He chatted with such college track stars as sprinters Bob by Morrow of Abilene Chris tian and Dave Sine of Duke and shotputier Ken Banlum of Manhattan. BREAKS VOW Roy Helser, manager of the Drain Black Sox of the South ern Oregon league, has had to eat his words. Brownie Valdez in his Roseburg News-Review column reports an early season conversation with the Drain pi lot in which Helser remarked that under no circumstances would he pitch this season not even in relief. The Linfield coach and ex-Portland Beaver twirler, nevertheless made a couple of relief appearances at Bend last week end. Drain has been the power house of the Southern Oregon circuit and its predecessor, the Southwestern Oregon loop. The Black Sox this season, however, are meeting sterner opposition in their efforts to defend their laurels. TRACK FINALS LIKE DREAM . "You shake your head and wonder if you haven't been dreaming." That's what Dick Strile had io say in the Eu gene Register Guard about the two days of Olympic trial finals last week end in the Los Angeles coliseum. He al so states, "We doubt rery much if more than a few track fans ... realised the tremendous talent paraded before them." Strife com ments that "the performanc es were to great that one falls lo grasp the significance of the 17 - record shattering events." He adds that "every event was so terrific thai you tend to lose the color and the drama of one really outstand ing performance."

Some days the sea is rough and boats cannot get out, according to the communication.

Mooching with herring and anchovies got the best results. Another coast re port is from Castle Rock camp, Smith River, where the first, salmon limit of the season was caught on July 4.

President Harry Glickman has announced that applications will be filled on a first-come, first served basis with preference for orders for both games. Four different members of the National Football league will dis play their talents in the two games. The first one matches the San Francisco 49ers with the New York Giants on Saturday night, September 8. On Saturday night, September 22, the Los Angeles Rams will play the Pittsburgh Steelers. This will be the first appear ance in Portland for the 49ers, who recently signed Frankie Al bert, one of the great quarter-1 backs of modern football, as their new head coach. McElhenny Back It is almost certain that Hugh McElhenny, the great All-American from Washington, will be able to play. McElhenny recent ly underwent surgery and the op eration on his injured foot will enable him to rejoin the foot ball's most explosive backfield along with Y. A. Tittle, John Henry Johnson and Joe Perry. The Giants return to familiar Oregon territory for the third straight time and will hold part of their summer training camp at Portland university from August 26 to September 12. The game between the Rams and Steelers is a rematch of their touchdown thriller of last year, won by the Rams 38 to 24. Norm Van Brocklin again heads the cast for the Rams, while Paul Cameron of UCLA and Johnny Lattner of Notre Dame are ex pected out of the service in time to lead the Steelers. Applications or tickets should be sent to Oregon Sports Attrac tion, 811 SW Washington ave.
