the fact that summer is in our midst
Instead Of taking a rest, of getting
from within the focus OF the sporting

Dallas 81. Ashland Militia 10.

In an interesting game last Friday
evening the fast aggregation of bas-
ket tossers from Dallas defeated the
local militia boys by the score of "a
to 10. The game was not very fast,
but the fans were given a good game
from start to finish, both teams
fighting hard for supremacy from
the beginning although the final re-
suit was never in doubt. Dallas had
the locals easily outclassed and
showed a strongly organized team.
Ashland's only redeeming feature
was Enders' remarkable basket
shooting. Johnny shot some very
pretty baskets from all angles and
was the main point gamer for the
home team. Pebo Shaw and Walter
Ballantyne, both former Ashland
men, showed up we'll for the north
erners.
The first half ended with the score
of 20 to 5 and with the game well on
ice for the visitors. In this period
several good plays were made, but
Dallas always seemed to be on the
long end, superior team work show
ing to great advantage. The locals
passing in this half was rather poor,
but their low score was due more to
hard luck shots, a number of these
being labeled baskets.
The last half proved much faster
and more exciting than the first one
and for a while it looked as though
Ashland had chance to win, but the
visitors came back strong and despite
the efforts of Mowat. Grisez and
Enders of the local team, who were
responsible for the scoring in this
period, the northern boys forged
ahead with a sudden squirt and held
the game safe. The Ashland boys
missed number of ordinary shots
which looked to be sure score gain
ers, and a better showing is expected
in coming games.

KanSanS to Form
JayhaWker Club

An effort will soon be made to
organize Kansas association in
Ashland. There are quite a number
OF people residing here who are ma
tives of the Sunflower state and a
very large number of former resi-
dents of bleeding, bloody Kansas. -
1t is believed an association of over
one hundred can be made up in a
very short time, and a move is to be
started at once.
1t is desired that all native Kan
sans or former residents of that state
make their presence known to the
Tidings in order that thorough or
ganization movement can be made.
If this is done a meeting will be
called and permanent club estab-
lished. Let us hear from you.
AS there are several hundred Kan
sans in the Rogue River Valley a
county club may be planned later.

Pleasant Afternoon at Cards.


One OF the social events which will
long be remembered occurred at the
parish house last Saturday afternoon,
when Mrs. Grisez, Mrs. Barnebnrg
and Mrs. Provost were hostesses to
about seventy ladies. The event did
honor to Washington's birthday, and
the decorations were in keeping with
the occasion. The walls were COW
cred with flags and the guests found
their partners with George Washing
ton favors. Amusement was proSid-
ed by about fifty ladies participating
in the game of five hundred, while
the others discussed and compared
handiwork. The honors at cards
were given to Miss Summefhaze ? Of
San Francisco and Mrs. Homer Bar
ron. Then followed refreshments,
which were dainty and delicious.
Miss Edna Dougherty furnished niu-
sic during the refreshment hour, and
was encored many times, always re-
spending with her usual good nature.
After refreshments the tables were
removed and Miss Summerhayes and
Mrs. Hurt gave an exhibition of the
tango, rag and hesitation waltz, much
to the amusement OF all present. The
afternoon was one continual round of
interest and pleasure and all pro-
nounced Mesdames Provost, Grisez
