Tornado Diamonders Split With Pitchers Dennis Barr of Medford High and Ron Bea- mer of Roseburg each chalk ed up one-hitters in victory causes and Beamer contribut ed a triple and the deciding run for his team as the two 'ichools divided a non-league baseball doubleheader here on Friday. Medford's Black Tornado nabbed the seven-inning first fray 1 to 0 and Roseburg's Indians claimed the six-frame second game 2 to 1. The Tornado, limited to three hits In the opener by Indian Chucker Dick Mere dith, gained its sole marker In the fourth inning. Calvin No Cheney Semi-Pro 9 This Year Cheney Lumber company, which has sponsored baseball clubs at Medford or Central Point in southern Oregon- cir cuits for 12 straight years, will not field a Cheney Studs semi - pro aggregation this summer. Instead the firm will sup port a Central Point Ameri can Legion junior team made up of Crater high players and is discussing a junior program utilizing Cheney field at the south edge of Medford. De tails are yet to be worked out In citing reasons for drop ping from semi-pro ball, Bill Askwith of the firm's Central Point mill said that the Studs could not find a top class or fast league to join. Difficulty in lining up summer jobs for ball players was another fac tor, he reported. Also in volved were the scheduling difficulties and expenses re quired in operating as an in dependent club. Rogue Valley league may function again this year but the Stud organization wanted faster competition than that provided by the loop which they so decisively dominated last year. A bid was made to enter the Northern California league but Askwith was told that circuit was not accepting new clubs this year. Organized in 1946 The Cheney Studs were or ganized in 1946 as a Central Point team. Since that time they have played in three leagues, and have won four championships. They became the Medford Studs in 1951, the last year that pro baseball was in operation here. In 1948 and 1950 the Studs were the champs of the South ern Oregon league and in 1956 they took the title In the revised version of that cir cuit. The SOL was suspended again after 1956. Last year they claimed the RVL toga. From 1951 through 1953 the Cheney crew was in the real fast Southwestern Ore gon league. On the clubs were a number of ex-professionals plus some top grade collegiate talent. Best finish for the Studs was second in 1951. The Studs have had the former county fairgrounds field as home park since 1952. They played in 1948, 1949 and -1951 at the Medford high dia mond and in the other years at Central Point. In addition to league oppo sition the Studs have brought some other colorful and out standing clubs here for games. BASEBALL FRIDAY EXHIBITIONS Des Moines 12. Spokane (PCL) 9 San Diego (PCL) 14.

Indians Dean singled to right field and stole second base. He ad- vanced to third on his broth er Lowell's groundout and tallied when Roseburg Short stop Don Wells mishandled a rap by Jerry Fields. Beamer three-baggered to lead off the extra sixth in ning of the concluder tussle It was a hefty wallop to deep left field. Meredith followed with a pop single into right field and Beamer crossed with a tie-busting counter. Shaky Start Medford recorded its sec ond game run in the first in ning, when Beamer got off to a shaky start by walking three men, but Roseburg caught up in the fifth when Tom Laurence, Medford start ing tosser, had the same dif ficulty. Ray Konopasek, the Med ford lead-off man drew the first base on balls in the op ening canto. He was forced out by Ken Durkee, who went to second v base on a passed ball and swiped third. Cal Dean then drew a free pass to the bases. Beamer attempt ed to pick off Dean but the ball got by First Baseman Bob Shinn and Durkee scampered across the plate. For the Roseburg fifth in ning marker Chuck Heine, Jack Berney and Mike Brun dage received consecutive walks and Wells singled home Heine. Beamer, after his wobbly beginning, steadied to strike out five batters in a row and had 11 whiffs for the six-canto stint. He issued no bases on balls after the first panel. Good Support Barr struck out seven bat-1 ters and walked just two in posting the first contest de cision. His Tornado mates backed him with good sup port with only one miscue charged. Centerfielder Ron Peery of Medford dropped a flyball in the third inning when the Indians had two men on base but the muff proved a break rather than a detriment. Peery threw to Durkee at third base where the advance runner was forced out. In the sixth inning Peery made a diving, rolling catch to pre vent a hit by Mike Hatfield and in the fifth inning Right- fielder Jerry Fields gloved a grounder by Jerry Holliday of the Indians and threw him out at first. Konopasek and Fields join ed Cal Dean in getting first game safeties for the Torna do. "Lowell Dean poked a fly into right field for Medford's lone bingle of the No. 2 fra cas. Beamer's first inning double was Roseburg's only hit of the first fuss. Roseburg picked up four safety swats off Laurence in the second hassle and one off his reliever, Jerry Anderson. Laurence, in five innings plus struck out five and walked five. He had errorless support behind him.

Harrs Will Close Lake To Fishing Applegate Valley Squaw lake will not be open to fish ing this season, according to the lake owners, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Harr. They said that a seven year contract with the state fish and game commis sion had terminated and that the lake was not stocked with legal sized trout this year. Twenty-five thousand finger lings were put in the lake by the game commission last fall, and Harr said he does not want the young fish disturbed. However, Harr stated that if the desire of the public to; fish is great enough, it may make an appeal to the game commission for restocking and arrangements may be made for reopening. If this does not happen, the owners said they will welcome free of charge chaperoned school groups, Scouts, Sunday school classes, or other similar or ganizations. Privately Owned Anyone wishing to make an appeal about restocking may contact Cole Rivers, district biologist at Grants Pass, or the state game commission. Squaw lake always has been privately owned, and during the years that Mr. and Mrs. Harr have operated the resort, they have given the nublic free access to the lake and have rented boats and camp sites. There were over 6.000 registrations last year Harr built six miles of private road to the lake a few years ago. .
