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.

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.

men in the victory.
j Leader Throughout
i Medford was on top all the
. way in the "keep-in-tune-for-the-
; Sox" encounter. 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. MNESCORE:

Gradual Withdrawal
Of U.S. Soldiers in
Japan Said Closer
Washington u.R U.S. plans
for overhauling the military high
command in the Pacific could
bring closer the promised "pro

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,

Another Meeting
Will Seek To End
i
German Incidents
Munich, Germany '(U.R) Ba
varian state officials called an
other meeting with high-ranking
U.S. Army officers today in an
effort to end the growing num
ber of incidents involving Amer
ican soldiers and German civil
ians. 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.
