MEDFORITRrE UNE Studs Bounce Yreka; Await Drain Series Medford Cheney Studs turned thrir serious attentions to a toueh wrek end strips with the Drain E!ak Sox today in the wake of a non-league semi-pro baseball triumph last night over the Yreka. Calif , Indian? The Cheney crew, which thumped Yreka 10 to 2 in the practice triumph, will have its Southern Oregon league leader ship at stake in Saturday after noon and evening and Sunday afternoon engagements with the Sox at the fairgrounds diamond here. A seven-run sixth inning was the big feature here last night as the Studs took their second verdict of the season from the Indians. The Medford club got seven-hit throwing" from Jim Kelly, who struck out 12 Yrekans and walked but three. Jack Cooney, with three hits in five times up. Terry Maddox with two binglcs in four tries and Dick Toney with two for Bilko Stars In PCL With Easy Swing By SCOTT BAILLIE San Francisco U.R- Steve Bilko, just another .250 hitter when in the National league, was murdering pitching in the Pacific Coast league today by "swinging easier." With only 65 games left to go this season, the mammoth first baseman has smashed a total of 39 home runs in 103 contests for Los Angeles and was batting a steady .380 to hogtie the field In both of those divisions. If Bilko could keep up the pace, he appeared destined to break the Coast League record of 60 home runs which was set by the late Tony Lazzeri at Salt Lake City in 1925. During that year, the future Yankee great had a 200-game schedule to work on. Pitching Little Different Yes, Cardinal fans, this is the same right-handed giant who batted .264 with your club in 1952. .251 in 1953 and around .220 in 1954 before he was ship ped to the Cubs, then wound up out here. Is Coast League pitching really that awful or has Bilko actually improved that much? "The pitching isn't much dif ferent down here,'' the baby faced slugger said as he packed his 235-pounds into a uniform before game time today. "I'm hitting better because I don't try to kill everything that comes my way. I just take a nice smooth swing and try to meet the ball. The rest takes care of itself." CASSADY CONFERS Columbus. Ohio U.R How ard (Hopalong) Cassady, Ohio State university's two-time All America halfback, was to confer with Detroit Lions officials to day about a contract for the coming National Football league season. Cassady is reported ready to sign a S15.000 pact. V 17. or $121 IT! WITH r MAKES AMY Bert's What We Do ftj CAR limovt Front WhU, Inspect Lining. y Clean and Repack Front Wheel Bearings.

The Studs col- i lected two runs in the starting frame on an error, a passed ball. Toney "s stolen base, a single by John Kovenz. bases on balls to Maddox and Jerry Betten riorf and a sacrifice flyout by Derald Wooton. For another run in the second panel. Tiger Bob Smith got a base on balls, Jim Kelly sacrificed, Smith went to third on pitcher Loren Cura ming's balk and the runner scored on Cooney's low fly dou ble to right field. Yreka combined Lou Faso letti's infield single, a wild pitch and Bill Ewings line dou ble to left field for a fourth inning run. The Studs' big push in the ' sixth was marked by two sin j gles by Toney and hits by Coo- r.ey, Maddox and Twink Peder- son. two errors, a hit batter, a j walk, a passed ball and a men i tal lapse by the Indians which allowed Cooney to slip home for one of the markers. In the eighth the Indians used a base on balls, a force out, a wild pitch and a single by Fasoletti for a run. Little Trouble Medford had little trouble getting men on base but 11 were left stranded. Yreka had six left. The Studs got nine of their hits off Cummings, who walked six, hit one and whiffed four in the live innings plus he worked. Re liever Gordon Nixon gave two hits, fanned four and walked two. Butch Pickard got three for five in hitting for Yreka and Fasolettie two for three. Drain's club which comes here this week end is a well balanced crew of oldtimers and young and rising players. They are under the helm, as in past seasons, of Roy Helser. ex-Portland Beaver moundsman. Helser, during the school year is Lin field baseball coach. He pitches on occasion in relief. Other old timers are Pat Wohlers, Bill Bear, Don Kirsch and Rav Strat ton. Reilly on Squad j Among the younger players' are pitchers Dick Duerr and Bill j Croco and infielder Ad Rutsch man although Rutschman is a vet so far as the Studs are con cerned. Jack Reilly, 17-year-old hurler out of Drain high school is a late addition to the Sox. While the Black Sox are not running away with the race as they did last year, they are still a potent club. They are defend ing champions and are far from out of the chase from the flag. Tied for second place, they are only a game behind the Studs as this week's series begins the second half. Medford itself is strong this season as its first place position bears out but the Studs were taken two games to one in the season opening action at Drain. Rivalry this time is expected to be hot and close. The series should prove to be one of the best that fans will see in loop play this season at the fair grounds.

In a far-reaching shakeup. the Defense Department announced Wednesday night that U.S. Far East Command Headquarters in Tokyo will be abolished in a year. Its defense area Okinawa. Japan and Korea and its re sponsibilities will be merged into Adm. Felix Stump's U.S. Pacific Command headquarters in Hawaii. No Affect on Okinawa The shakeup will not affect U.S. troops now on Okinawa. Stump currently i 3 respon sible for the rest of the Pacific area with Army, Navy and air forces under his joint command. Military authorities said one effect of the move may be to encourage Japan to speed up its lagging rearmament efforts. The United States is pressing for Japanese ground force of 350, 000 men and 10 divisions. Jap anese military leaders favor 180, 000. The United States and Japan agreed in diplomatic talks here last August that Japan would Lake Fishing Best in SW Oregon Area Portland (U.R!

McAndrews Phone 2-4107 assume the main responsibility for its home defense as soon as possible. They also agreed to a "progressive withdrawal" of U.S. ground forces as Japanese capabilities increased. No Major Changes The United States now has one Army division, one Marine regiment and support forces in Japan. In announcing the Pacific re shuffle, the Pentagon said it did not expect "major changes in the deployment of U.S. armed forces" to result. However, observers noted the streamlining of the Pacific and other overseas commands coin cided with plans now being made for new military man power slashes over the next few years. It is believed the coming cuts could mean major develop ments of U.S. overseas forces. At a minimum, thousands of headquarters troops will be eliminated.

The conference was scheduled under personal direction of Ba varian Premier Wilhelm Hoegnr, who called this week ordered steel-helmeted reserve state po licemen to patrol GI trouble spots. The first meeting of its kind was held here Tuesday night. Curfew Test Due The test of a midnight curfew for U. S. soldiers imposed by European Commander Gen. Henry I. Hodes will come to night. Hodes reinstated the cur few Wednesday. However, out of fairness to the troops, mili tary police did not arrest GIs caught out after midnight on the first night of the curfew, but merely sent them back to their bases. West Germany's biggest news paper appealed to U.S. troops today to "remain old friends" with the Germans and "stop all this incident business." Young Germans Die The appeal came after two young Germans died in street fights with GIs and a 15-year-old girl was raped by seven soldiers. These were the most serious of dozens of incidents in volving violence. The newspaper Bild Zeitung, which has a daily circulation of more than 1.000,000 copies, pub lished a page one editorial in both German and English call ing for "a meeting of the minds" to restore badly damaged German-American relations. Potential waterpower in Can ada is estimated to be approxi mately 18.000.000 horsepower of which only about eight per cent has been developed for commer cial purposes thus far.
