FOUR MEN GET PRISON
TERMS; CASE DEFERRED

Five men indicted by the grand
jury and entering plea of guilty,
were sentenced by the court this
week, as follows:
Earl Friel, youth whose age is
in doubt, told the court that he was
hungry when he passed two bad
checks in Salem and Ashland. A let
ter from his mother in Idaho was in
troduced and sentence deferred un-
til further investigation can be
made of his case.
William NORM, companion of Friel,
made statement to the court before
sentence. He said he had served dur
ing the war in the navy, had been
wounded in action, and when he came
home found that another man had
broken up his home. He said this
discouraged him, and he set out to
"roam the world" and in company
with Friel passed the bad checks
when they had been without food for
| two days. A letter was introduced
from the navy department corrobOr-
ating Morin's statements. The dis
trict attorney made no recommen-
dation for leniency, and NORM was
sentenced to two years in prison, with
one count being held open against
him.
Arnold r. Carol indicted for the
theft OF Buick automobile from
the Medford Auto company, was CIV
en- a two years sentence with the
recommendation that he be paroled
at the end of the minimum period il
his conduct warranted. The court
said that the fact that he had served
In France caused him to modify the
sentence. Carol, plainly nervous,
made plea TO the court. and after
sentence smiled at the spectators,
George Robins, indicted for for
gerry, was sentenced to two years, at
ter Attorney George NJ Roberts had
made a plea for leniency on the
grounds that Robins had been be-
iuddled bya drink of moonshine, and
was not in possession of his faculties
when he passed the bad checks on
Jens Jensen and Sam Richardson.
Robins was described to the court as
an expert workman and decorator.
The district attorney opposed lenl.

NEW YORK, Mar SITS a soft
life for the boxing commission. Yes
everyone thinks so but the COM
misisoners
Good state money is paid out IN
large gobs to the men who see that
tin-eared boxers and their sometimes
tin-brained managers walk straight.
This is a l2-hour job, however, ac-
cording to Commissioner Walter
Hooke. Hooke is the official chair
warmer of the commission, being
around the handsomely fitted quar-
ters most of the time. -.
I'VE are supposed to know every
thing about boxing and do every
thing connected with boxing" Hooke
said. Someone called up few min
utes ago and wanted to know how
many minutes the second round 'had
gone when Bob Fitzsimmons knocked
out Tom Sharkey at Coney Island.
Another lady wanted TO know why

Hundreds of calls come to the
commissioners asking for assurance
that ii would be perfectly, safe for a
woman to attend the boxing shows.

'rible things about prize fights"

HIGH SCHOOL ROOTER DE-
FENDs BASKET BALL TEAM

Medford, not satisfied with three
trimmings from Ashland and two
from Roseburg, wants to go to the
state meet and get a few more.
Well have to hand IL to Medford for
not knowing when they have anough,
although on the bottom OF the south
ern Oregon list, losing six out of
eight games. The visitors critics
claim that her team Is far superior
to the Ashland High school quintet
which heads the list with one defeat.
II you will recall last year Med
fordites cleverly refused to schedule
games until after the state meet,
when Coach Matthews of Salem
chose the red and white five to rep
resent southern Oregon. Our sister
city contested, and through series
OF kilograms succeeded in getting
the trip OF two hundred miles just
to receive a good walloping Of "a to

Now the Medford fans give the
cause of their defeat to the size of
the Ashland gym. Their statement
that our floor is under standard size
is not correct. The gym floor is con-
siderable larger than the minimum
regulation court You notice they
say nothing of the defeat on their
own floor which is anything but 4
palace to play in, because of the
large cracks, loose boards, leakage
from the ceiling and over size bump
boards.
The statement has been made by
Medford that Roseburg have agreed
not to play any more games with
Ashland until the local gym is dif-
ferentR arranged. When played

Medford stated that its team won
a basket ball game Friday night. II
is my opinion that the absence of
punting was all that was lacking to
make this an indoor football contest.
In this style OF play the red and black
certainly outclassed the local team.
