that the fight will not go the
Giants Best
In Training
In Arizona
Br HAL WOOD
San Francisco (IB No
foolin'! The best major league
baseball club training in An
zona this year is the San
Francisco Giants. ..
After three weeks watching
the Giants maul the Cleve
land Indians, Baltimore Or
ioles and the spring ratings
would have to be like this:
1 Giants; 2 Orioles; 3 Indians;
and 4 Cubs.
The Giants finished sixth
in the National league last
year and many are picking
them to finish there again in
the current race.
But you have to give Presi
dent Horace Stoneham and
Manager Bill Rigney credit:
They aren't standing pat with
the club that finished in the
second division.
Couldn't Win With Veterans
"We are going along with
the youngsters," says Rigney.
"We finished in sixth two
years in a row with, the men
we had. That's why we sold
such good veterans as Don
Mueller and Foster Castle-
man. We couldn't win with
them, so we'll try these new
boys."
The "new boys" are: Right
fielder Willie Kirkland; first
baseman Orlando Capeda;
third baseman Jim Davenport
and catcher Bob Schmidt.
All four are fine fielders.
The big question is: Can they
hit?
Spring training doesn't
count in the final averages,
but these rookies have looked
better than the rookies in the
other three camps. And they
have been hitting better than
most of the veterans.
The Giant front office is
keeping its fingers crossed.
"I've gone to a lot of
spring training camps and
I've watched these spring hit
ters too many times to go all
out and predict success for
them," says the veteran Ed
die Brannick, club secretary.
"But I do have to admit this
is a fine crop of rookies."
Added to the youth-movement
on the Giant squad are
two young bonus baby pitch
ers: Lefty Mike McCormick
and right-hander Paul Giel.
Both received $65,000 for
signing a few years back
and just now are ready for
full-scale development.
McCormick No. 3 Pitcher
"As of this time," says
Rigney, "I'm planning on Mc
Cormick for No. 3 pitcher on
my squad. He looks real good
to me. And, Giel, with his
fine speed, is slated for a lot
of relief duty."
While McCormick and Giel
because of their bonus status,
can't be classed as rookies,
the Giants actually are count
ing heavily on this group of
six classy youngsters to carry
them back into the pennant
battle.
Of course, a good season
for pitchers Ruben Gomez
and Johnny Antonelli, center
fielder Willie Mays and a few
others wouldn't hurt.
In fact, it will take a good
season for every man on the
club. But off the basis of
spring training, the Giants
just might improve their pos
ition clear up to the first division.

limit, regardless who is the
winner. A threat of rain was
in the air but the bout was
scheduled to go barring a pos
sible cloudburst tonight.
Odds To Bassey
In light wagering Bassey
was the choice at odds of near
ly 2-1. He held an edge in ex
perience and also in boxing
ability. The dusky little cham
pion carries a powerful punch
in either hand and his backers
were confident he could avoid
Moreno's sledgehammer blows
during the early stages of the
bout and then would cut the
challenger to pieces.
But Moreno was cool and
assured and had trained hard
er for this fight than for any
during his career. The muscu
lar Mexican has scored 29
knockouts in 33 bouts.
Both fighters have been on
the scene training for about
a month and both were in such
good shape that they eased
off boxing during the final
week. .
Large Entry
Anticipated
In Rogues
More than 150 athletes may
be entered this Saturday in
the annual Rogue relays at
the Medford high stadium.
The larger schools in the
competition may have 30 or
more thinclads in the tradi
tional clash here while the
others could have 25 or
more.
Medford high and the lo
cal Kiwanis club will be host
to Grants Pass, Ashland, Cra
ter, Klamath Falls and Marsh
field, the regulars in the
meet for a number of years
The competition, in which
team effort means a lot, will
give fans an idea of compara
tive track strengths among
Southern Oregon conference
schools and indicate how they
may do in the Hayward re
lays at Eugene on the follow
ing week end. Marshfield is
the only non SO league school
which will participate.
Benson Debut
In meets after the Hay
wards, however, events will
be more on an individual
basis and the relay sessions
won't be absolutely indicat
ive of the outcome of future
sessions.
. Other schools through the
state, just the same, will be
looking to the Rogue rivalry
for comparisons with other
relays on the same week end.
And Southern Oregon schools
have always loomed strong
in the Haywards.
Another feature of the
Rogues will be the Medford
high track coaching debut of
Dean Benson. The ex-Bend
high and Willamette univer
sity star took over the coach
ing reins from Bob Newland,
who had 10 highly successful
years with the Black Tornado.
Newland is now vice princi
pal at North Eugene high.

Mrs. Marlene Richardson,
a former fourth grade teach

baby girl named, Melinda
Kay. She is now a week old.
The students of Jackson
school are wearing their new
green and gold school hats.
The second grade students
of Mrs. Ruth Hawkins' room
made a mural for the main
hall bulletin board. Itv shows
the girls and boys playing on
the playground. Each child
made a figure or piece of
equipment for the mural. The
figures were all free hand
drawings 'and colored with
crayola. There is a picture of
Mr. Robert Baccus as he
watches over the playground,
which was drawn by Julie
Culbertson.
Every sixth grade student
made an American Legion
poppy poster. Eight of the pos
ters were chosen to compete
in the Poppy Poster contest
with the rest of the schools.
The fifth and sixth grade
children are learning the Ore
gon State song. Recently, an
article appeared in both the
Medford Mail Tribune and in
the Portland papers stating
the fact that Congressman
Porter was acquainting the
Capitol people with this song.
There was also information
on the fact that he had not
found copyright records for
the composition.
Since the upper grades
were learning this song and
since their sheet of music did
give a copyright date, Mau
reen Kilby, a sixth grade pu
pil, was asked to write to Mr.
Porter congratulating him on
his efforts and asking about
the latter problem. Everyone
was happy in the answer that
was received from him. He ex
plained that the copyright
had never been made official
even though it does appear on
the sheet music.
The four first grade classes
under the supervision of their
teachers have visited the fire
station in correlation with the
