The non-league semi-pro game Is set for 8 p.m. Klamath is a member of the Northern Cali fornia league, ranking fourth at last report. Medfcrd is unbeat en leader of the Rogue Valley circuit. While carrying the healthy swatting mark into action, the Studs will be minus their top rapper this evening. Ron Owings who paces the Cheney combine with a .400 standing with 24 hits in 60 times up, is in Portland for an Army pre-induction phys ical exam. Owing's shortstop slot likely will be filled by Eldon Fran cis, a capable all-around, per former just out of Medford high where he concentrated on the javelin in track rather than on baseball. He has Legion and semi pro experience and has been playing in the outfield for the Studs. Coonor Back Absence of Owings spoils a chance for him to play against a club from his old hometown. He's an ex-Klamath high stand out. Jack Cooney has indicated that , he's over his illness of last week end and will be back at first base for the Studs this evening. Duane Sides Is the probable Medford chucker with the Klam ath mound choice among Dave D'Olivo, Jack Henkel and Kerm Kowalt.

Frank Roelandt and Jack Coon ey each have .359 records and John Kovenz is the other .300 hitter for the full season. He has .302. Koveaz leads in runs batted In withw21 and Owings is next with 19.

Willie Vaughn Fights Hernandez Chicago W Willie Vaughn was "almost 100 per cent sure" that a store of ring savvy he has picked up in the past two years will carry him to his first vic tory in three clashes with Chebo Hernandez when the two middle weights fight tonight in a tele vised 10-round bout at the Chi cago Stadium. The Los Angeles boxer thus far hasn't been able to do any better than draw with Her nandez. That was in their first meeting in 1953. A year later. the Mexican slugger knocked out Vaughn in the second round at Hollywood, Calif. Vaughn's best ring effort came last March 27 when he was awarded a decision over Joey Giardello at Kansas .City, Mo., and then had to settle for a draw when it was discovered one of the officials was scoring the bout under an outmoded system. The Hernandez-Vaughn affair is a substitute match- for the originally scheduled Bob Baker Eddie Machen heavyweight 10 rounder, which was put off until July 24 when Machen came down with oriental flu. American Davis Cup Hopes Soar, Aussies Blast Hoad New York W) United States hopes of regaining the Davis cup have soared while Austra lian tennis officials blasted Lew Hoad for turning pro. "The Davis cup competition is wide open now that Lew has turned pro," said Renville H. McCann, president of the U.S. Lawn Tennis association. "His decision certainly has helped our chances and the chances of other countries, too. We have great hopes." When Hoad accepted a record $125,000 contract Monday from promoter Jack Kramer, he left the tennis-mad Australians with out an experienced Cup player to defend the amateur game's most coveted trophy next De cember. The Lawn Tennis association of Australia reacted by accusing Hoad of breaking a written promise not to turn pro until Jan. 31, 1958, and moved to bar Kramer's troupe from its big stadiums.

It will be host to Klamath Falls in a double bill at the fairgrounds diamond. First game is slated for 6:30 p.m. Both scraps will count in sub district standings. Medford pre viously took a counting double header from Klamath Falls on the Klamath field.

Medford currently heads the loop standings with 4-0. Klam ath is 2-2 and Lakeview 0-4. A later twinbill with Lakeview here will end the regular round Uow Available in Oregon!

Need Financial Help Whether the Medford club will be able to en'er the play-offs, if it does win the subdistrict, is still up to question.

SALE t Select and Save from our new stock of 3-T Nylon DeLuxe Super-Cushions HOW TO TELL 'EM The schools, we pray, are do ing a pretty good job of teach ing current events. It's Just too tough a subject for the parents, especially if, as they should, they try to relate today's hap penings to recent history. How do you explain to the short pants set that we like the Japanese and are mad at the Chinese, but that in Daddy's war we liked the Chinese fine and were awfully mad at the Japs. And how can you explain that Daddy and a Russian sol dier once had a high old time together? Aren't we made at the Russians? It won't do much good to ex plain that Daddy and the Rus sians were friends that evening because both were mad at the Germans. Because as any schoolboy knows, the Germans are our allies, part of the Free World, key people in the dike we are erecting against the Com munist wave. Explanations will serve only to convince the younger genera tion that Daddy guessed wrong, many, many years ago, and that he might be a little bit subver sive.
