Ashland residents enjoyed the
pleasures of flying thru the air Fri
day and Saturday when the plane
belonging to the Medford Aircraft
company spent the two days In max
ing passenger flights from the To-
cal landing field across Bear creek.
That is, some OF the inhabitants
enjoyed flights, while others looked
on with envy or apprehension, ac.
cordlng to their temperament Fly
Is a trifle too new an accomplish
ment to the majority OF Ashland
people. and while they enjoyed
watching the graceful maneuyers of
the big ship Of the air as It skinned
thru the blue ether, great many
felt with Darius Green that flying
was all right, but that there might
not be so much fun when they came
TO light. However, no accidents of
any sort marred the pleasures OF the
new attraction. and the consensus of
OF opinion among those who made
the trial flight is that airplane trav-
el is the most delightful way ever
experienced.
The plane arrived in Ashland FRI
day morning on schedule time, hay-
ing come from Grants Pass where II
had been making passenger flights
for two days previously. The run
was made, according to reports, from
Grants Pass to Ashland in 2S min
utes. A number of people were on
the field when the plane arrived
anxious to make the flight, and the
aircraft was kept busy all forenoon
taking up the passengers on theii
aerial journey. The plane circleC
over the city and made short ex'
curslons up and down the valley
thus affording the passengers :
most delightful view of Ashland and
the immediate vicinity. Flights wers
alco made at various times Frida.

Noted Actress Can
Speak Good English

On hearing now the perfect Eng
lish spoken by Nine. ALA Nazimova.
the sensational Russian actress now
appearing in the Red Lantern, which
will be shown at the Vining Theatre
Wednesday and Thursday, one would
not believe that this star had when
she came to America but three words
OF the language she now speaks so
easily
She accomplished one of the most
remarkable linguistic feats ever re-
corded. She had attracted the no
tice of managers and critics by her
histrionic power, when playing In
New York with Russian company.
But she knew no English. Contracts
were offered her II she would learn
English. This she did in five
months.
A Critic said at the time:
"She employed a teacher who
talked English to her five hours q
day. In six weeks she had learned
to think in English. After that
progress was rapid. Within five
months she faced a critical New
York audience-she didn't even have
chance to play out Of town first
tand in English. She has an accent,
it is true, a very delightful accent,
but she pronounces with such clear
ness, such perfect enunciation that
It is not the slightest effort to fol-
low her Indeed, it is easier to un-
derstand what she says on the stage
than it is three-fourths of our native
born actresses.

Ashland Shuts Out
Grants Pass Sunday

Lilly and his speckled bat did the
main end Of the hitting business.
First man up in the second inning,
he disturbed the peace Of the COW
as heretofore mentioned. Then again
In the eighth he hit one over tho
left field wall but to the left of the
pole which distinguishes two bag
gers from home runs on account OF
the short field. In the fifth with
two men on Frye wisely gave the
Ashland slugger a walk,
Wilson started off by striking out
the first three men up. Ted Hill got.
a hit but was thrown out at second
Pernoll, who got two of the Pass
hits, got bingle in the second in
ming but was caught in fast double
play, Lilly got his homer in the
third, Wilson got on by an error and
was scored by hits from Vance and
Gearhart. The rest OF the game
was mostly one, two, three but the
healthy aggregation Of visiting team
rooters did not lose heart. In the
last half OF the ninth, If anyone had
their money on Ashland, they must
have felt faint. Pernoll got hit.
advanced on fielder's choice and
went TO third ON Beriess hit. Beri-
ess went to second and 1t began rn
look bad. Riggs knocked scream
ing gravel scorcher down the third
base line which luckily went foul by
about foot. Had II gone fair the
game might have been going on yet
Wilson came thru as usual, however,
and struck out Riggs, ending the'
gamt.
This Riggs, by the way. is worth
going miles to watch. His right arm
lie missing but he plays better bali
than any two armed man Grants Pass
has got, He electrified the crowd In
the fifth when he speeded into short
left field and nabbed liner, flippec
the ball into the air, stuck his glove
under the stump Of his gone arm;
and had the ball in home so quickly
yeale couldn't get started from
third. He hits 'em hard, also.
| The crowd was the largest Of the
season, about thirty-five automobiles
and a stand full OF people speaking
well for itlie gradually awakening
interest in good baseball played by
clean young fellows.
The management announced that
a portion Of the stand would posi-.
lively be covered by next game, ma
terial having failed to arrive in time
to keep off the. suns rays Sunday.
!, But then 1t was cool, anyway, and
there was too much going on to pay,
any attention to the sun.
The management Is telegraphins
to Weed and Yreka and will have
one of those fast northern Califor-
mia teams over here next Sunday
II you like good sport come out. The
lboys need the support.

Ashland Citizens Take
Joy Rides In The Air

One OF the interesting features Of
the airplane flights here was the
fact that the pilot was former Ash
land boy. This was Delbert Jones,
who had come to Medford few days
before as relief pilot and who is an
experienced aviator Mr. Jones took
great deal OF pleasure in plotting
the residents over his native city.
Among the Ashland people who
made flights during the two days
were; V. o. N. Smith, Miss Harriet
Trask Mike Morgan, Mrs. j. p
Wolf, Miss Edith Herrin, Chester
Phillips, F. WI Herrin. Claude saun-
ders, James Boyd, Robert Herrin, J.
II. McGee, and several others whose
names could not be learned.
One OF the most enthusiastic deyo'
tees TO airplana travel in this city Is
James Boyd, n years OF age. Mr..
Boyd has always evinced great in
terest in aerial travel, and is an in
ventor OF note. Many years ago he
began drawing designs Of flying ma
chimes. in the hope that some day
this method of travel would become
of use to the public. When alrplanes
finally became an established fact
Mr. Boyd had been anxious to ride
in one, and always stated that, he
would do so when the opportunity
came his way This chance came at
last and the aged man was on the
field ready to make the flight.
When he landed after taking hi;
trip around the valley and over Ash
land his first expression was, well
! am perfectly happy. ! have had
my desires grattlfied at last He
experienced no bad effects from his
trip into the air and claims that
flying is exactly the sensation hi
had expected. The only feature t
puzzle him is how such a small af
fair as the propeller can do SO much
work.

then Ashland has a team which Is
there forty different ways Grants
Pass isn't far behind, to tell the
truth. lit was only by the grace OF
Providence and Ken Lilly's bat that
Ashland came out on top. The score
should have been one to nothing. A
Grants Pass error contributed to the
second Ashland run.
A pltcheFs duel from start 10
finish; Ernie Frye, who has been up
north showing his wares to Mister
McCredie OF the Portland Coast
Leaguers, didn't quite have enough
OF the ball however, He had plenty
for most OF the boys but when Lilly
distukbed the peaceful grazing OF
a cow in an alfalfa field across
Mountain Avenue in the second in
ming, Ernie's chance to make third
win over Ashland went glimmering.
Outside of that one little mistake he
did very well, however, holding Ash
land to six scattered hits and strik-
ing out ten men. Chief Wilson,
fresh from bronzing labor in the
harvest fields, was in top form and
/ scattered the seven hits CLEANED off
his delivery over six innings. Hc
also struck out ten men, most OF
them in the pinches when strike
n outs were netueu.
Next to the pitching the Ashland
infield work was the feature OF o
game full of features Ruddy Scholt2
and Kenneth Lilly speeded around
the keystone bag like couple Of

an idea OF the strength and spee'

LAST CHANGE TO SEE
 "PANTHEA" TONIGHT AT
 THE LYRIC THEATRE

DOUGLAS, June 23.-In "Panthea' Miss Talmadge plays the role made famous on the stage in this coun- try by Mime. Olga Petrova, a role that gives the young star the best chance of her career to make the most of her emotional powers. From press reports in New York and other large cities where the pictrue has been shown Miss Talmadge has surprised even her most ardent ad- mirers by the manner in which she enacts the difficult and intensely dramatic scenes in which the story of "Panthea" abounds.
 As an example of the superlative cast of players supporting Norma Talmadge in her first Selznick Pic trues production, "Panthea," the producers selected for small role one of the best-known character ac- tors on the American stage, George Fawcett. MT. Fawcett plays the part of the head of the secret Rus sian police, and while only on the screen in two or three scenes, gives to the performance one of his accus- toned impressive impersonations.
