Seattle Stud
Nine Strong
In Pitching
Pitching is expected to be
the forte of the Seattle Cheney
Studs this week end when they
encounter the Medford Cheney
Studs in the third annual series
at the fairgrounds diamond here.
Games are billed for 8 p.m.
Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.
Through last week end the
Washingtonians had a win-loss
mark of 20-3 for the season and
pitching, by a strong staff has
been said to be mainly respon
sible. '
i At least two of the Seattle
team's tossers will be familiar
faces to Medford fans. They are
Monte Geiger and George Krit
sonis who have been here in the
past. They are the leaders of the
hill squad, Geiger with 5-0 for
the season and Kritsonis with
4-0. Both were with University
of Washington last year.
New Players
Other throwers include Buzz
Bartylla, Bob Maxwell and Nor
man Popkin from University of
Arizona, Dave Gray from Wil
lamette university and Stephen
Hinckley, northern division all
star from University of Idaho.
While the Seattle roster shows
a number of players who have
met Medford before, there are a
number of new players on the
club. There are players from Ill
inois, Oregon, California, Ari
zona and Washington on the
crew.
The Medford Studs will be
after their first win over the Se
attle team.
Both teams are sponsored by
the Cheney Lumber company
A Studs team also is playing out
of Tacoma.
Meeting less opposition than
had been anticipated, the Med
ford Cheney Studs dumped the
San Francisco Presidio baseball
team 10 to 3 here last night.
Weathering the wild pitching
of Roger Collins, the Studs con
nected at the plate for an 11-hit
barrage. They took advantage of
a good share of the 10 walks is
sued by Collins and of seven
Presidio errors and were never
seriously challenged by the
Toreors.
The tussle marked the half
way point for the Studs in a
string of six non-league games in
nine days. They tripped Drain
twice last week end. On Thurs
day the Studs play a 7:30 p.m,
contest at Drain. On Saturday
night and Sunday here they op
pose the Seattle Cheney Studs.

ond victory in four evenings for
the Studs. He gave up eight hits,
walked two and hit one batter.

PCC Group
To Discuss
Realignment
Los Angeles (IP! Directors of
the Pacific Coast league have
named a committee to meet with
major league officials and ex
plore the realignment of the
coast loop in the event its Los
Angeles and San Francisco fran
chises are drafted by the Brook
lyn Dodgers and the New York
Giants.
The PCL directors met Tues
day and selected a group to call
on Commissioner Ford Frick,
President Warren Giles of the
National league and representa
tives of the Dodgers and Giants.
"We can't just sit around and
be left waiting on Oct. 1 if Wal
ter O'Malley makes announce
ment that Brooklyn is drafting
the Los Angeles territory," PCL
President Leslie O Connor told
the press following the closed
meeting.
Indemnities Discussed
O'Connor said the league di
rectors discussed tentatively the
indemnities the coast league
would want if the major league
clubs moved into the big cities.
He said it was also proposed
that a third major league be
formed or enlarging the present
two major leagues to 12 to 16
teams divided into two divisions.
The league president said that
General Manager Joe Ziegler of
the Portland Beavers was nam
ed chairman of the special com
mittee. O'Connor said he would
meet with Frick July 10 at St.
Louis to discuss possible realign
ment of minor league clubs and
that he hoped that the PCL com
mittee would be able to accom
plish its mission at the same
time.
O'Connor recently testified
before a congressional subcom
mittee investigating baseball
that if major league baseball
comes to the West coast it would
eliminate five clubs from the
coast league Los Angeles, San
F r a n c is c o, Hollywood, San
Diego and Sacramento.
Helfand Suggests
Boycott To Block
Rademacher Tiff
New York flPt Julius Hel
fand suggested today that the
National Boxing association ex
pel and boycott the Washington
State Athletic commission if it
permits the Floyd Patterson-Peter
Rademacher heavyweight
championship fight.
Charles P. Larson, chairman
of the Washington commission,
has announced approval of the
Fatterson-Rademacher fight for
Aug. 22 at Seattle.
That approval caused Hel-
fand's announcement today of a
letter to Floyd Stevens, presi
dent of the National Boxing as
sociation. Helfand, chairman of
the New York State Athletic
commission and president of the
World Championship Boxing
committee, said in his letter:
Defiance Noted
"It would seem to me that
the NBA should immediately no
tify the Washington commission
that if it permits this contest
to be held in defiance of your
order that it should be expelled
as a member of the NBA.
"I believe, too, that they
should be warned that in addi
tion to expulsion, that the NBA
would issue an. order prohibiting
all NBA boxers from competing
in the state of Washington," Hel
fand wrote.
The proposed fight evoked
protests among boxing people
because Rademacher has had no
professional fights.
a double, and Larry Perkins
with two for six led the Studs
hitting. Perkins drove in three
of the Medford runs and Kovenz
one. Dave Hennigan socked a
double and single in five times
up for the Toreros.
Good fielding and sharp in
field play helped the Studs along
and they picked off the Presi
dio's lead runner on the bases
on a number of occasions.
Big Fourth Coming
Frank Roelandt got on base
when hit by a pitch in the sec
ond inning. He advanced to
third on Frank Rector's two
bagger and scored in a wild
pitch. Singles by Perkins, Jack
Cooney, Kovenz and Ron
Owings, a sacrificed by Bartow
and three errors accounted for
three runs in the fourth inning.
In the fifth inning the Studs
claimed two runs on a base on
balls, Catcher Hennigan's inter
ference with Bartow at bat, a
passed ball and a single by Per
kins. Three walks, a hit batter,
an error and a single by Barlow
accounted for two sixth inning
tallies. One came in the seventh
on a walk to Cooney, his stolen
base, an error and Roelandt's
single. Two bases on balls, a
fielder's option and two miscues
were used for an eighth inning
score.
The Presidio got to Bartow in
the fifth inning as Raoul Rios,
Bob Jolly and Collins collected
safeties for a lone run. Henni
gan's double, John Zeleznock's
hit and Chuck Gritts' sacrifice
flyout gained a run in the
eighth. In the ninth a walk, a hit
batter and error and a ground
out got a marker.
Medford left' 14 runners
stranded on bases. The Toreros
left eight.
