II wasn't so much that Hornbrook
couldn't play ball. 1t was because
Ashland could. And the type OF
baseball that is seldom seen away
out In the bushes. Listen TO this
tale, o kind people, and see if 1t
don't get that little bump Of long
ing to see a. real ball game, throb-
bing in your domes.
Pay attention now: One error in
nine innings of baseball (this is the
Ashland side). Only five men to
reach first base in the HornbrooE
uniform. Big Chief Wilson was go
ing great guns and let the mountain
team down with three scratchy hits.
He passed one and one man got on
by the aforesaid error. None of
the five got as far as third. Two put
out stealing, two put out on double
plays and one left on bases. Boys, 1t
was simply grand to see that old
combination working.
The final score was something
like eleven to nothing. The Horn
brook boys were minus the services
of their regular catcher but fought
like the game losers they were. The
Ashianders started in pounding the
ball in the second inning and the
basehits ratified like a machine gun

Grants Pass Plays
Here Next Sunday

Hub Pernoll's Grants Pass bail
tossers with the wiley old big leagu-
er swinging a bat and pitching in
the pinches, will be up to mingle
with the speedy crew which the Ash
land management has got together.
next Sunday afternoon. Grants Pass
has won three games from the locals
by narrow margins, each one hard
er fight than the last and the locals
figure that now the time has come
to reverse the results. Ashland has
been in hard luck most of this sea-
son, losing Lilly in the first game
he played and Plymate soon after.
However with Lilly back in old form
and Daddy Hill of Medford taking
care of the mask and mitt and new
addition in Ruddy Scholtz of Santa
Clara, the boys have an aggregation
which will make anything up and
down the line take hurry to get
ahead of them. No one who saw
the Grants Pass game on July 9th
will miss the battle Sunday. Revenge
with capital r and burr like
Scotchman saying roaring" is in the
air. Hub Pernoll is pitching part
of the time for the Pass now He
went in at Grants Pass two weeks
ago and kept the Ashlanders break
ing their backs for the last four inn
ings. Pernoll doesn't seem to have
lost any of that old stuff that took
him to the top of the American
League 1t remains until Sunday to
find out for sure. -

mand for the privilege of riding In

city.

has been particularly fortunate in
securing their pilots for this passen-
ger plane. Heretofore all flights
have been made by Lieutenant Floyd
J. Hart, Medford boy who recently
returned from overseas duty with a
Boche plane to his credit. A relief
pilot arrived Tuesday who will also
make flights. This is Lieut. Delber.

erseas experience, who served over
the German line two months. The
mechanic is c. A. Hall of Medford,
who formerly had charge of the test
blocks at Rockwell Field, San Diego.

WEATHER CHANGE
One of Those Billion Dollar Rains
Visits The Whole Country

The extreme heat of last week wound
up with three of the fiercest days of
high temperature known here for over
a year, Friday, Saturday and Sunday
each being above 100 degrees in heat.
On Monday the change came with u
light rain of about one-quarter Of an
inch and Monday night and all day
Tuesday 1T rained almost continuously
until the total rainfall for the storm
reached 2la inches. This rain was not
only general over this county but over
all sections of the country that we
hear from, and has in many sections
broken a drouth that has lasted weeks
and was doing much damage. Crops
in this section had not suffered any
for lack of moisture but would soon
have been in that condition without
this rain. In the northern section of
this state and in parts of Kansas it
will save the total loss of crops that
were burning up. The general nature
of the rain has produced decided
change in the temperature and the
nights especially are much more COM
Portable than before. This rain makes
most dry land crops in the Lamar ter
ritory absolutely safe for this season,
and will mean large addition to the
acreage in such crops another year.
