SUNDAY BASE BALL GAMES
Grants Pass Enthusiasts Must Go
to Gold Hill.

Wm. Hulen, G. f. Neuber and ].
Court Hall were down the valley the
first OF the week to arrange for the
organization OF valley league,
which is to iuo|ude Gold Hill, Med
focd, Jacksonville and Ashland.
Tree three are The leading promoters

v,siled Grants Pass, but ON account
of certain loci impediments there it
was decided TO fix upon Gold Hill as
the proper point for ball ground,
which would accommodate Grants

Hi, mech rs, ii is said, prevails in
theit own town,
Messrs. Hail. Neuber and Hulin,
who went to Grants Pass Monday
night to try to interest tho fans" Of
that town in local league, returned
Tuesday mo ming. They coald do
nothing at the Josephine county capi-
tai, but have decided to p,t in a
fourth team at Gold Hill, provided
the grounds can be secured from tho
raihoad company. of which they
have reasonable assurance. With four
teams in the valley, two scmes q
week can bo giyel, thus keeping the
players ia good training, and giving
these who DO not care to attend Sun
day baseball games Pu op, lt1n'ty to
SEQ the national game played. In
Medford, for instance, we believe
that \ game IN the middle of the week
would attract good sized audience.
1t seems to be general sentiment
among business men that half holi-
day could bo decla ed at least every
other week without Inconvenience
either to themselves or to their pat
rons. This would give everyone
chance to see the game. Mail.

Harrison gathered a small army at
Ohio Falls and started north. At Vim

they could not go 200 miles up the
Wabash without feed for their horses.
General Harrison had two cribs of
corn at Terre Haute and persuaded the
men to go on. AS they came on with
hungry horses and scant feed they
found the ground covered with blue
grass.
six miles west of Newport, on the
Collett farm, was found bountiful
supply of blue grass. Some places in
the bottom 1t was growing three feet
high, and such feed had never been
heard of by the Kentucky soldier. At

"The seed was carried back to Ken

not make it thrive alone in the warm
soil, and it had to be sown with oats
and rye. Mr.. Sandusky told me in an
early day that no blue grass grew in
Kentucky until after 1t was imported
from Indiana. Tom Downing of Terre
Haute was an ardent admirer of Hen
ry Clay and once went to visit him at
his home near Ashland, Ky. After
seeing the fine farm well set in blue
grass Downing suggested that Mr..
Clay let him have some of the seed to
take back to Indiana.

Herman Krummel has filed claim for
$500 against the city, for an injury which
he received to his right thumb Tues

crosswall. He tripped and fell at this
point, and, although it was in the mid
die of the day when the accident occur
red, he holds the city responsible.
The claim is accompanied by physi-

1T SERVES Me RIGHT"
Remark of the Man Who Spent His
Money for Whisky.

From Mondays Daily.
This morning the police found half
dazed, shabbily dressed man walking
along Front street bareheaded. The fell
low said he didn't know what became of
his cap, so he was taken to the station
where an old hat was given him. and
he was given chance to get warmed
through. The man gave the name of
George Lund and said he had been work
ing ON the farm of Louis Miller in Lime
township. Last Saturday night he came
to the city with $35 in his pocket intend
ing to buy himself some new chothes. He
got to drinking whisky among some
merry new acquaintance and forgot all
about the clothes he was going to buy.
Saturday night he went home with one
of these acquaintance. Sunday morning
he was sufficiently sober to count his
money and saw that he had about 500
left. Sunday, it appears, he founl a
chance of renewing his spree. Sunday
night he was not so fortunate as to be
invited to go home with anybody, so he
prowled around to find some place to
sleep and finally crawled into the buggy
shed back of the Clifton House. Here
he lay down in a buggy and it is al
most miracle that he did not freeze to
death. This morning he woke up about
six o'clock and made his way to the
kitchen of the Clifton house, where ne
was given cup of coffee and an oppor-
tunity of getting warm. He felt in his
pocket to see how much was left of the
original $35 and found only five cent
piece.
The police found his cap in the shed
where he had passed the night. ''This
serves me right, just right" he said, as
he left the station. at seems I amt
got no sense at ALL"
