Medford enters the tussle with a spotless 3-0 record in the circuit and a 7-1 mark for the full season. Central Point is 1-1 in division play. The Studs are 3-6 for the season. In their previous game against each other Central Point took the first test 1 to 0 and Medford the second 4 to 1. Stuart Young, who pitched both of the games for Med ford, likely will be on the hill for Coach Cliff McLean's Cokes. For the Cheney club, Coach Bill Askwith's choice is eenie, meenie, minie, mo among three players, Mike and Larry Pepper and Larry Mason. Askwith said he will not know who'll pitch until game time.

B. C, July 8. or right L .JT mm! H DODGE 3 crclinattvii chtfici '2964 af totiRlttO cM't 4951 Fanfare Medford American Legion junior baseball had its share of oddities this weeK end. Take the way Medford scored its tie-busting runs in the seventh inning against the Klamath Falcons on Saturday night. We failed to pick it up from the Cokes, but this is the way John Nolen, summertime sports editor for the Klamath Falls, Herald and News, tells it: Medford's pitcher Stuart Young was on third base and shortstop Dan Miles was on second. Klamath catcher Dave Saks called for a pitchout. The strategy caught Young off third base and put him in hot box. The Falcons de liberately had Young running in the hot box to tire him since Stu was due for his seventh inning pitching stint. This strategy backfired when throw by KF third sacker struck Young and bounded out toward the mound. Young scored and Miles, who had come down to third, saw that there was no one handy to retrieve the glancing ball, raced home, too. Medford's version is a bit different. Coach Cliff McLean said that the squeeze play was on, after two bluffs, with Mike Neathamer at bat, and that the play went awry de spite a good pitch. McLean reported that the base line was really jammed with Klamath players. The ball hit Young on the top of the head. Neathamer followed this ac tivity with a double. BACK AND FORTH Then, against Coos Bay on Sunday. Scott Eaton sin gled. He was headed for second when Bob Schroeder flied to the outfield where the ball was caught. Eaton, skidding into second base, picked himself up and ran back to first. The ball beat him there but got by base man Buddy Bick. Eaton again picked himself up out of the dirt and made it back to second safely. DAY OF THIEVERY Sunday was a day of thievery for Medford against the coast team With the 15 steals. The Cokes had a squeeze effort turn into a hot box on Dick Deffley but got a run on interference when basepath obstruction was called against CB third sacker Ken Basendorff. Gary Miller got credit for a hit when shortstop Butch Smith held his ground ball too long trying to keep Deffley from scoring from third. Miller beat the throw which was bad and which allowed Deffley to score anyway. NEARLY CLOBBERED 1 The Cokes said this writ er probably would come out with a column seeking to ban baseball because he al most got clobbered by a foul ball off the bat of Scotl Eaton. The ball went high in the air and came straight down at us. Wind had let up and the ball re fused to veer from its re lentless course. We couldn't move much. We were sitting down in the bleachers on a foot rest and using the seat board for a table. But we got a hand up in time and the ball glanced off our un gloved fingers. Chalk up an error if you will. SCOTT AT KFLW Aforementioned John Nolen is the same young man who has been Southern Oregon college athletic news director during the past school year. We understand he'll return to college in the fall. It's reported that his Herald and News predecessor, Wayne Scott, is sports director for Klamath Falls radio station KFLW and has been broad casting K 1 a m a t h Falcon games. CONTRIBUTIONS URGED Crater High school sta dium committee is now urging an all out response from the hundreds of peo ple in School District 6 who were .not interested in buy ing season tickets but still would like to have a part in the fund raising. Com mitteemen have pointed out that time is short the funds must be raised in the next two or three weeks. They staled that contri butions of S$. $10 or SIS. or more or less, from those who have not yet contrib uted could be the deciding factor in making the drive a success. Checks can be mailed at once to Central Point branch of First Na tional bank. They should b made out to Crater Stadium Fund. Receipts will be pro vided for every donation.

PIN PLAYOFF OUT Fred Anderson, coach of the Medford Cyclones of the Oregon Professional Bowl ing league, reported that league officials have de cided against a rolloff in the circuit. Original plan was for a rolloff among the top two teams. Salem finished on top of the league standings with Medford and Portland tying for second. A factor in the decision was the poor attendance at matches and the scant amount of funds produced. A trophy goes to Bob Damp sey, Medford, for his high game of the campaign, a 278. Decision on whether to have a league next year may be made at a June 27 meet ing at Eugene. If they do. there's a possibility that there will be eight teams with north and south sec tions. A playing schedule of 14 weeks is talked. ANKLE HINDERS CLOSE Jerry Close, ex-Medford high, was disappointed in his broad jump luck for Univer sity of Oregon in the NCAA track meet because two years ago he jumped 24 feet and placed and this year he went 24 feet 7 inches and failed to qualify. Close, who sprained his ankle two weeks ago, hurt it on his first jump in the prelims last Friday. The injury thwarted his efforts, too, in the hop, step and jump. BURNS THROWS 22S Also meeting disappoint ment was John Burns, ex Crater high athlete who throws the javelin for Ore gon. His best in the NCAA preliminaries was 226 feet.

Ray's coach went to the rules committee to get him a berth in the race on the grounds that entry of others who had slower times this season has been okehed. Ray returned to Provo, Utah, with the BYU trackmen and is slated to run this week end in the national AAU meet at Walnut Creek, Calif.
