young Phillips had to guide him and
Maxedon in their trips to the sheep
herder's camp. They also had to
bring out the pack equipage on the
burros, which Mr.. Herrin had or
dered turned over to DR.. Jarvis and
MaXedon. Several times coming in
they had to stop and DR.. Jarvis had
to massage Professor Winnings limb
because of its cramping, but finally
they reached Ashland about o'clock
Monday night.
Professor Vining is getting along
as well as could be expected and
spoke at the pioneer reunion today
He fears, however, that it will delay
his trip around the world for another
year unless the ankle becomes strong
very rapidly.
Professor Vining is very enthusi-
astic in his praise of the three boys
and says were they members of the
Boy Scout organization he would see
that they received medals for their
services, as they certainly deserve
them.
He also says that he will never
go deep into the mountains again
without keeping pack animals with
the party for use in an emergency.
He tried in vain to buy burros either
in the valley or in northern Califor-
mia, but R. L. Burdic has promised
to have three shipped from Mexico
with the next shipment of cattle and
Mr.. Vining will have them pastured
here for the use of himself and his
boys club.
Mr.. Vining also expresses himself
as deeply indebted to DR.. Jarvis. The
doctor, who is an experienced noun
tain climber in the Alleghaneys, says
he is used to mountains which stand
straight up and down, but when they
lean over they get him. Professor
Vining says that DR.. Jarvis is one of
the coolest, most good-humred men
he ever saw on the trail and in the
mountains. BY the way, it is not
generally known in Ashland, but DR..
Jarvis is "the" Jarvis who won
worldwide fame a few years ago as
an intercollegiate runner and walker,
holding several worlds records.
Now that the experience is passed
Professor Vining looks upon it very
philoSophically-in fact, did all the
time, and enjoys narrating the events
Of the trip.

ADVERTISING ASHLAND.
Beautiful Fruit Being Shipped Out
is Boosting Us.

The beautiful fruit being shipped
from Ashland this year is helping
wonderfully to boost this community
and is causing many eyes to turn this
way.
Mr.. Jennings, who last spring pur-
chased the original Albert Johnson
orchard from Mr.. Putnam, is one of
Ashland's biggest and best boosters.
Mr.. Jennings, who is one of the lead
ing merchants of Portland, shipped
all his cherries direct to Portland
merchants and they attracted much
notice and brought big price. Mr..
Jennings has adopted a handsome la
bel and the name Gold Medal Fruit
Farm, Ashland, Ore.," as the name
and label under which to ship his
fruit, and the peaches are creating
"a furore and drawing crowds where
they are on exhibition in the center
of the Portland business district.
Max Pracht's Peachblow Paradise
orchards are another place which is
sending out handsomely labeled and
well packed fruit. Many believe that
a rubber stamp on the boxes is just
as good label as any, but rubber
stamp label will not linger in the
memory like a bright, attractively
printed or autographed label. The
latter brings follow-up orders when
the rubber stamp label is forgotten.
Doubtless there are many others
who are packing and shipping just as
good and just as attractively put up
fruit as the two mentioned, but it
has not been brought to the attention
of the reporter.

THE ELECTION OF VANAUGH
GREAT BOOST FOR BASEBALL
THE JUDGE WILL EVENTUALLY
RETIRE-BAUGH, MOST AVAIL
AgLE MAN TO SUCCEED HIM,
WILL NOT BE CANDIDATE
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

Judge William NJ. kavanaugh, presi-
dent of the Southern league. and one
of the strongest factors in the national
success of baseball, has been elected
United States senator from Arkansas.
That question which will first of all
arise in the minds of the fans of the
southern league is "Will Judge Kava.
naugh continue to serve as president Of
this circuit?'
Judge kavanaugh himself has said
nothing in this regard that is publicly
or for publication. The secretary of the
league, however, has said that the cleo
ton of the judge will not make neeess~
sary his resignation.
However, the time will come when
Judge Kavanaugh will find 1t necessary
to retire and when that time arrives the
league will have lost its most valuable
asset

EVERYBODY HOPES HE
WILL STILL SERVE LEAGUE

There is little chance of the Judge en-
eountering defeat at the conclusion of
his term. As he stated, he IS good
politician. He is more. He is a man who
makes friends easily and retains them
without trouble. He has a wide acauain-
tance. lie is a man of certain position
in the business world. In fact, he is the

he is in the Southern league. He is the
president OF the biggest bank in Arkan-
sas. He is president of the street rail
way system of his city. lie is tho presf-
dent of the leading club. lie is the
moving spirit in the growth and devel-
opment of his city and state.
He will not be beaten. The league
might face this fact right now.
There will be universal regret when tho
Judge retires. r. II. Baueh. president OF

naugh will be able to retain his position
at the head of the league. We would

New York, January 2s.-The confession
of James Thorpe, the worlds grearest
athlete that he played baseball as a pro-
fessional during the summer OF 1909 and

cation of the standing of the several

College Men Who Played Professional With Great Indian

Greatest Athletic Tragedy of Amateur Athletics

Thorpe won with tile Pentathlon and

Thorpe's case is at once one of the
greatest tragedies and marvels of anna

incredible that he should have played
for two years a professional and that
no one has arisen till this late hour TO
say so. OF all the things of persons who

URGE ATTENDANCE
At AID CLUB LUNCH
Committee Appointed to
Make Personal Calls ON
Business Men

Snappy and interesting WAS the
luncheon of the Birmingham Ad club
yesterday at the annex of the Gold
Lion tea rooms. The feature of the
feast was a discussion of the spe-
eial protective measures that was sug-
gested TO the club by John L. Shelby.
The measure proved of such interest
that a special committee composed of
j. s. Shelby. J. *. Sterne and +. J.
Holberg was appointed TO make per-
sonal calls on the business, profession
al and industrial men of the city to
urge them to attend the next Tuesday
luncheon when the matter will be fully
discussed.
A telegram was received from the
Atlanta. Ad club complimentlng the
Birmingham Ad club on the splendid
full page ad. that appeared in the Bir-
mingham papers last week lend. The
Atlanta club wanted to know whether
the ad was paid by the local merchants,
by the Chamber of Commerce or by
the Ad club. A reply was ordered sent
to the effect that the ad was paid
for by the Birmin CHAM Ad club and
that the Birmingham papers had made
some concessions in the price. The tel
egram from Atlanta stated that the
"Ad Selubs ad" would be displayed at
the meeting of the Atlanta Ad club
that takes place tonight.

BAUGH IDEAL MAN
FOR THE PRESIDENCY

Already they are discussing a successor
for the Judge as president of the league.
Chattanooga has nominated Charlie
Frank of New orleans. 1t is needless to
state that that nomination was thorough
ly characteristic of Chattanooga. Percy
Whiting of the Atlanta Georgian, has sug-
gested Mr.. Baugh of Birmingham.
Mr. Baugh will not be candidate.
He would not make a fight for the po-
sition. Should Judge Kavanaugh resign
and Mr. Baugh agree to make the fight
to succeed him he would poll more votes
than any other man.
This is due to the fact that practically
every member of the board of directors
is his friend and to the more important
fact that he has the confidence of every
body. He would make an ideal president
and could land without trouble.
But If he is ever president of the league
he will have achieved great honor with
out having exerted himself or pushed
himself rudely into prominence.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-01-29
X POLITICIAN
OF HIGHEST TYPE

There is no question but that in the
future the Judge will resign This will
be due to the fact that he is politician.
not in the sense that he is perpetual
office seeker or a trouble maker, a mar
plot and general disturber of the peace.
But the Judge was born for conflict. He
loves the scent of battle. He likes to
plan big things and work for them and
ington a most fertile field for his talents.
and he will give up baseball some OF
these days.
