UNINGER & SONS Phone 2-5336 or 2-5897 Ashland 8121 Fanfare Many months back Clayton Hannon, sports editor of the Kla math Falls Herald and News, be moaned the fact that Medford ap peared to have the jump on the City of Pelicans in a bid for a berth in the Northwest League of Professional Baseball Clubs. That situation has reversed it self. Klamath Falls, with its pot ent Lakers independent club, now is considered a strong pros pect to jon the NWL next season as its eighth member. 1 Current members of the league and loop officers are understood to favor Medford as eighth mem ber because of larger population in its drawing area and for reas ons of travel time and conven ience. NWL President Jim Fleishman at a recent session of the circuit even sa;d Medford ap peared to be the mostly likely eighth team. However, Klamath, with its j Lakers and aroused fan interest, j which is better than Medford's actually seems nearer ready for a return to pro ball than does this metropolis of the Rogue valley. Efforts here last fall and winter to organize a Medford NWL team met with "on the street'' enthusiasm but with little "solid" interest or response. We understand it's still not too late for a Medford or Rogue val ley group to gain adequate back ing, show active interest and gain acceptance in the league. But with the greater enthusiasm now being displayed at Klamath, quick action is needed here if there is to be action at all. Such a move will require good finan cial backing and the powers that be will have to do something about Medford's deplorable ball park situation. And interest will have to be much greater than that now being shown here for the fast variety of semi-pro ball being played. KF TURNOUTS BIGGER Livelier interest being shown at Klamath Falls in baseball, and resulting from its nw in dependent Lakers, is borne out by attendance figures. The Lakers have drawn between 700 and 800 fans per garr.e and as high as 1.700. Attendance at Cheney Studs games here has averaged much less. Top crowd of the season was around 550 for one of the Washington Studs encounters. Biggest crowd when the Cheney team met the colorful Drain Black Sox last week end was in the 400s. ford? The fact that Klamath has always been a hot sports com munity and that the town has its fastest team since the days of the old Far West league figure in an swering the question. Then we suspect that tne . matter of ball parks has something to do with the degrees of baseball-minded- I ,' - , , , ..... Tl,e Lakers have fine facilities ! in the old Gem stadium which they lease from the city of KF. Medford has the unsightly and rundown fairgrounds park about which there has been a lot of talk and little action. The field may be okeh so far as its play ing surface is concerned, but it is lacking in some conveniences for ' nlavprs and in rnmforts and at mosphere that will insure regu lar attendance by spectators.

IMMEDIATE NEED There are long range plans for a new ball park in the fair grounds area but something more immediate is needed, not only with the idea of provid ing a home for a professional club but with the thought in mind of keeping fast semi-pro ball here. We venture that even the brand of semi-pro ball being played here won't last unless something is done to improve park facilities. The present occupant of the fairgrounds park has taken some steps to improve the situ ation. But the Cheney Studs organization, which has made the only efforts to keep fast semi-pro baseball alive cannot be expected to shoulder the load in any major rehabilita tion nor is it obligated to do to on the county-owned prop erty. KF TO HOST STUDS Klamath's Lakers in meeting and beating Yakima of the NWL, in playing the San Francisco Seals of the Coast league have brought pro clubs to their com munity this season. Negotia tions by the Medford Studs with j NWL members did not niaterial ! ize. The Studs tests their strength . against Klamath there on August 25 and 26. Palmer Takes Four Stroke Lead in Open Baltimore. Md. (U.Pl Arnold Palmer of Latrobe, Pt.. shot his third stright sub-par round at Mount Pleasant Saturdy to take the 54-hole lead in the Eastern Open Golf tournament.

The 1954 National Amateur champion, now on his second swing around the professional circuit, had a total of 205 for the three rounds while Finster wald trailed with 209.

"WHERE Chenev Studs Bias end Loggers 18-7 Medford Chenev Studs burst out with their mightiest hitting onslaught of the Southern Ore gon league baseball season Sat urday and clubbed the Bend Loggers 18 to 7 in their series opener at Bend. Every member of the Studs' sterling combination got into the hitting act as the loop lead ers clouted out 21 safe blow's. Jerry Bettendorf blasted a bases- loaded homcrun and Terry Mad dox cracked a roundtripper for the Studs. Derald Wooton threw 10-hit ball for the Cheney nine, walking but two and striking nut three. He served up homer balls twice to Chris Christianson. j manager of the Loggers. Bettendorfs' big swat came in the fourth frame when Medford : collected three other hits and j were helped in getting seven ; runs by two bases on balls and i two Bend muffs. Jerry got three ' safeties in six trips to the plate i nrl Ataridnx s homer was one of two raps in four official at bats. Frank Roelandt socked three for five and Jack Cooney three for six including a double. Dick Toney. had a two-bagger and two singles in seven times up. John K o v e n z and Wooton slapped two for four and Bill jMartell two for six. Twink ! Peterson w hacked the other Cheney hit. Bend called on three pitchers in its attempt to halt the Med ford nine.
