Medford Hitlinf Kefty Manager Frank Roelandt will handle the catching as usual for the Studs. Others in the line-up may be Jack Cooney at first base, Larry Perkins at second, Frank Rector at third, Ron Owing shortstop and Jerry Droscher, right field, John Ko venz, center field, and Ed Rein king, left field. A line-up by position for the Butte Falls nine was not avail able. Medford so far has been the heavy slugging club of the league and its power with the bat could be the deciding issue of the game. Indication of the Stud offensive power is seen in its 28 runs in two games and in the fact that 23 of those runs have been batted in. Butte Falls has totaled 10 runs with six of them driven m by a batter. The fairgrounds ruckus will give fans another chance to try he drive-in arrangement of the ball park. They may park be hind the fences back of the base and outfield foul lines and watch the game from their cars. Seating in the grandstands, of course, is still available Removal of the old board fence and the installation of the wire fencing has made the park much mora attractive. Tho aroreboard, rebuilt back cf left field, is in operation and will hve the score by innings pna'ed on it. It is also ready for - night use.

The fines assessed were: Larry Doby, White Sox out fielder, $150; Enos Slaughter. Yankees outfielder, $150; Walt Dropo. White Sox first base man, $100; Billy Martin, Yankee infielder, $150; Art Ditmar. Yankee pitcher, $100. Harridge commented for each man fined as follows: Doby: "He threw the initial punch which started the trou ble." Off The Bench Slaughter: "He was not in the lineup but came off the bench and engaged in a fight with Dropo." Dropo: "For his part in the fight with Slaughter." Martin: "After the umpires had gotten the situation well in hand, he attempted to start a fresh fight with Doby and caus ed a new disturbance." Ditmar: "I believe the ump ires exercised proper judgment in permitting Ditmar to remain in the game. He was not the ag gressor, but, as a participant in a fight which precipitated a re gretable brawl, he is fined along with the other players." Philadelphia (IP) Johnny Logan of the Milwaukee Braves was hopping mad Saturday over the fact he was fined $100 for his part in Thursday's "Battle of Brooklyn," while Dodger pitcher Don Drysdale got off with a $40 assessment. Admittedly surprised over the $60 difference in fines levied by National league President Warren Giles, Logan snapped "It's an injustice . . . it's not even settlement." Accuses Drysdala "Why, he (Drysdale) started the fight, the Braves' short stop added. "He threw at me. I was only trying to protect myself. In the second inning of Thursday's Brooklyn-Milwaukee game at Ebbets field, Drysdale struck Logan in the back with a pitch. They exchanged words and later punches in a wild me lee that involved several mem bers of each team. Durelle Draws With Anthony Detroit OPI Yvon Durelle headed back to Canada and his fish nets today, hopeful that his draw Friday night with top ranked light-heavyweight con tender Tony Anthony will boost him into the 175-pound title pic ture. Durelle thought he won the nationally-televised 10-rounder, but nevertheless he was pleased with the outcome because he en tered the ring a 4-1 underdog. Anthony was anything but pleased with the decision be cause it put a serious crimp in his hopes for an early shot at Archie Moore's light - heavy weight crown. Threw Everything Durelle, who comes from Canada's fightingest family, had Anthony on the ropes at the finish after throwing everything but the referee at his opponent. The referee, Lou Handler, scored the round 5-1 in Durelle's favor. Under Michigan's "five point must" scoring system, the winner of the round gets five points and the loser a lesser number. Both boxers wound up with 41 points on Handler's card. Judge Barney Plotnik gave An thony the fight, 43-39, but judge Malcolm House saw Durelle the winner, 40-39, thus creating a draw. Ibbotson Runs 3:58.4 Mile Glasgow, Scotland (IP) Lean, blond-haired Derek Ibbotson of England ran the second-fastes mile in history Saturday, a 3:58.4 which missed John Landy's world record by onlj four-tenths of a second. ! Running in the Glasgow Po lice sports meet, Ibbotson far outclassed his field as he be came the third man in track history to break the four-min ute "barrier' more than once He had done 3:59.4 at London last Aug. 6. "If I had had a pace-maker at the bell I'm sure I would have beaten Landy's record" the 24-year-old electrical engineer said after the race. Ibbotson's intermediate times were: quarter mile 57.2 sees ; half-mile :1 min. 58 sees.; three quarter mile: 2:59.8; mile 3:58 4. Buy At Builders Supply Bricks, Flues, Drain Tile 727 W. McAndrews Ph. SP 2-4107 (MflfeCH QCALOT IE BLOCKS Yanks Claim Mick Target Of Pitchers New York (IP) Angered by charges that they are trying to "ouny the rest of the Ameri can league, the New York Yankees today accused rival pitchers of "throwing at Mickey Mantle" in a deliberate attempt to injure him. The accusation was made by Yankee General Manager George Weiss after American league president Will Harridge had fined three members of the Yanks and two White Sox play ers sums ranging from $100 to $150 for their Thursday brawl in Chicago. Weiss pointed out that the pitchers weren t throwing at Mantle's head but they were trying to hurt him by aiming "at his legs and feet." Weiss was not the only mem ber of the Yankees' front office to rally to the defense of the world champions. Refunds Intended Yankee President Dan Top ping said he intended to refund the fines levied against his play ers Enos Slaughter, Billy Mar tin and Art Ditmar by Har ridge. "Our players did not start the fight," Topping said, "and we certainly would not expect them to run when the Sox players started the brawl. John Rigney, vice-pfesident of the White Sox, was equally as quick coming to the defense of the two Chicago players who were fined, Larry Doby and Walt Dropo. "I am glad our players stood up and fought for their rights, Rigney declared. "The Yankees have been bullying their oppon ents long enough. Maybe the in cidents of Thursday will put an end to the rough tactics." Committee Sets Challenge Rules Paris IP! The World Boxing committee ruled Saturday that world titleholdors must meet cne of the three top-ranking challengers each six months, or the title will be declared vacant. The committee also: Ruled that Alphonse Halimi of France, recognized as world bantamweight champion by all but the National Boxing associa tion of the U.S., must meet NBA Champion Raul Macias of Mex ico (or Dommy Ursua of the Philippines if Ursua beats Mac ias at San Francisco Saturday.) by Oct. 1 to decide an undis puted world title. Set up a three-man commit tee made up of Nat Fleischer of New York, Gilbert Dodd of Britain and Georges Peters of France which will make rank ings each three months for the world committee, and the cham pions must select their challeng ers from this ranking. Went on record as opposing return-bout clauses in world title fights but admitted some exceptions and took no sanctions against them. Said it will consider the case of Archie Moore, who has not defended his world lightheavy title for a year, at a session to morrow. Yale Crews Take Regatta Sweep New London, Conn.

Main MEDFORD, OREGON W Give S&H Green Stamps Sunday, June 16, 1957 Gallant Man Wins Belmont By RAY AYRES United Press Sports Writer New York Of) Ralph Lowe's Gallant Man cut loost with a dazzling burst of speed in the stretch at Belmont park Saturday to smash the Ameri can record for a mile and one half as he won the 89th running of the $133,350- Belmont stakes by an ever-increasing margin of eight lengths. The little Irish colt started to run as he pounded down the back stretch under Jockey Wil lie Shoemaker. On the turn into the home stretch the son of Mi goli pulled even with Wheatley Stable's Bold Ruler, who had set the pace from the start in the third of the triple crown classics. For the rest of the journey around the bend into the lane leading to the finish line, these two arch rivals raced head ana head. Then Gallant Man, who had Bold Ruler softened up by his stablemate Bold Nero in the early running, really started to move. The crowd of 36.095 howled with amazement as Gallant Man steadily pulled away from the other five three-year-olds and streaked under the finish wire in 2:26 3-5 over a lightning-fast track. The time lowered the Ameri can record of 2:27 3-5 set by Bolingbroke at Belmont park in the 1942 running of the Man hattan handicap. And it easily smashed the Belmont stakes rec cord set by mighty Count Fleet in 1943 and later equaled by the j great Citation in 1948. j Shoemaker, who blew a Ken- j tucky Derby victory when he ! misjudged the finish line as Gal-; lant Man lost to Iron Liege by a nose, never let up on his mount 11 1. , .rl rrj. ... .t . w minify la, -, t - -rfX, '--$"'' - -( - ' ' -:--("ttv -Jfegrff-waTruMr - - I OUR NO. 955 TRAXCAVATOR Does The Work Of 3 to 4 Men IN HANDLING SMALL LOGS".
