Coach John Kovenz, com
O meriting on the state semi
final baseball game with The
Dalles on his return from
the north central ' Oregon
city, praised his Medford hig
Black Tornado squad highly
for tlwr hurtle and try in
q tLe play-off encounter.
"They hustled. You can't
ask any more than that," he
declared. "They didn't quit,"
he added.
, "I was a little disappointed
and the -kids were, too," the
mentor stated" concerning the
4 to 3 loss to the Indians.
Main regret concerning the
game was not being able to
take advantage of the oppor
tunities to score, particularly
after tying up the game in the
seventh inning. Kovenz said
that he wa"real pleased" to
see the Tornado "come back"
in what would have ordinari
ly been the last inning of the
game.
; TOUGHER PITCHING
Part of lh disappoint
ment lay in the indications
lhat Medford for the full
- season was a belter hitting
club with belter pitching
' than The Dalles. Against
the Indians, the Tornado,
nevertheless, ran into
, tougher pitching Hhan an
ticipated. Kovens reported
concerning the northeast
and north central Oregon
champs that "they had a
good club and Ihey hus-
' tied."
While Medford at The
' Dalles played ils only game
under lights of the season,
: the lights were not really a
determining factor in the
. game, according to the
Tornado coach. He said .
that Medford hitting might
have been better under day
light conditions but that
Indian hitting might have
been better, too.
UMP-S CALL TOO QUICK
Concerning the seventh in
ning infield fly ruling which
.probably cost Medford a run,
and a winning one at that,
Kovenz said he felt .that
shortstop Bob Porter, who
, muffed the catch and threw
wild to third base, was not
reasonably under the ball. He
felt that the umpire made his
call too quickly on the play.
The Dalles' infield was play
ing in close at the time, since
the bases were loaded, with
the idea of cutting off a run.
Porter had to go well back for
the ball to short left field. ,
? The' book calls for the in
field fly rule, with the batter
automatically out, when (with
runners on first an second
or with the bases loaded) a
fair fly ball is hit which can
' be caught by an inf ielder with
ordinary effort. The batter is
out whether the ball is caught
or not. It's the(gpb of the um
pire to declare -"infield fly"
immediately when it is ap
parent a batted ball will be
such a fly.
LEGION BALL NEXT
American Legion, junior
baseball will be next for a
number of Medford high play
ers. Coach Kovenz will handle
the team and has called for
the crew to assemble next
Wednesday for drill. The team
will have a warm-up on June
12 against Grants Pass and
will have a league engage
ment with the same club on
June 14. In the meantime,
Kovenz says that for a few
days he'll take a much needed
rest. '

Magazine
Recognizes
Sugar Ray e
New York (DPD The Ring
Magazine announced today it
will continue to recognize Su
gar Ray Robinson as world
middleweight champion, even
if there's a split in the title.
.Thus the magazine sided
with the New York State Ath
letic commission, which re
fused to vacate Robinson's
160-pound crown.
Still listing Sugar Ray as
champion in its latest ratings
today, the magazine points out
that Robinson has been
stripped of his title by the Na
tional Boxing association of
which New York is not a
member.
FOUR RUNS POSSIBLE '
Walks to Ray Konopasek
and Wayne Thompson and
a hit by Ken Durkee set up
the situation at The Dalles.
Ken Jensen hit a. fly to
short left field and was rul
ed out. Konopasek scored
on the muff and wild. throw
to third. Had Jensen. been
allowed first base, the sacks
would have been loaded
with no one. out.
A hit by Cal Dean, walk
to Lowell Dean and sacri
fice ' flyout by George Ice
came after Jensen's fly,
enough for three more runs
in the inning, instead of the
two as it turned out.
THING TO DO
When Ken Durkee held up
on third base on his long blast
opening the game, the Black
Tornado "played it the way
it should have been played,'
Kovenz maintained

Officers Warn
Against Picking
Up Fawn Deer
State police have issued a
reminder that it is unlawful
to pick up fawn deer.
They said that this is the
time of year when doe deer
will be giving birth to fawns
as well as the time of year
when people will be visiting
streams and forests for recre
ation. '
It is expected that these
people seeking recreation will
see a number of fawns. In
most instances, police said,
the mother will nof be seen
with her fawn for she nrob-
Pably will be nearby in Search
of food.
Doe Will Return "
Officers pointed out that
many people are of the opin
ion, if they do not see the doe
with her fawn, jkhat she has
abandoned it or has met with
some disaster. This, in most
instances is not true, accord
ing to police, and they cau
tioned people against picking
up fawns even though . they
feel they are doing a good
deed.
Police said that a doe will
always return to her fawn
and accept it, contrary to the
opinion of some people that,
if the fawn is touched or
handled, the mother - will
abandon it to starve.
; According to Oregon stat
ute, it is unlawful for any
person except the game com
mission to take, carry or move
from its natural habitat and
to hold in captivity the young
of any game bird or animal.'
Handball Class
To Start At Y
The Young Men's Christian
association has scheduled
handball instruction on Mon
days starting at 7 p.m. First
class will be on June 8.
Instructor of the class will
be Bruce Hamilton who has
been teaching handball in the
Salem YMCA for three years.
He now lives here. He would
like to create more interest
in handball in Medford and
improve the game for those
who already play it. .
The class will start for all
to do," he stated. "It was good
baseball," according to the
mentor. He pointed to the or
der of batters following the
lead-off man, Jensen, the
Deans, Ice and remarked, "If
they can't bring you in, no
one can." He drove his point
further home with the com
ment, "why press your luck?"
REAL FINE SEASON.
We go right along ft
agreement with coach John
ny's feeling lhat the Black
Tornado diamondera had a "
good year. They had a real
fin season. How' else can
you regard a record of It
victories against just ' six
setbacks, an undefeated
regular league ," mark . and
not only a district title but
the southwestern Oregon
crown. The fact that pitcher
Dennis Barr was named to
the Stale all-star gam
squad and the fact that six
members of the Tornado
crew were chose to the con
ference all-alar team by lhe
votes of rival players and
coaches ax other evidences
lhat lh 1959 season was
one that Medford base bail
ers can b proud of.
years of age and up. When
enough people enter, Hamil
ton will split the class -into
adult and youth groups.
In the YMCA handball
tournament still underway,
the following doubles teams
are still in the winners col
umn: John Reynolds and Herb
Partridge, Don Hansen and
Bruce Hamilton, Jay Pierce
and Charles Mickelson; John
Dellenback, and Duke .McQueen.
