niG FIGHT OX.
V.n-t nml West .lurksou To Iitnlilc
Honors on Diamond.
There have beeu a number of rum
ors of wars, rate cases, railroads, etc.
lately and they seem to have aroused
the fighting blood of some of the busi
ness men on the west side of Jackson
street to such an extent that they
are talking of challenging the busi
ness men on the east side to tackle
them on the ball diamond to decide
which is the best side of the street
when It comes to the great American
game of baseball. There are several
restrictions discussed, some wishing
to limit the players to married men.
and insist that the players shall not
have played baseball of any kind
for at least two years.
It has also been suggested that a
game between the fats and the leans
would be very Interesting, no play
er to be eligible who has caught a
baseball In the last two or three
years. Another game might be ar
ranged' between the married and sin
gle has been players, and no doubt
the Innocent bystander would enjoy
any of the exhibitions that would be
put up by the old boys. All players
would be required to play at least
three innings, this proviso being nec
essary to keep S. C. Bartrum. Gene
Parrott, Jim Zurcher, nob Smith, and
a few other enthusiasts In the game
long enough to count. Each side
would lie limited to IS players, with
the understanding that not more than
9 could play at one time. Other
games suggested are one between the
commercial club and the merchants
association, one between shorties like
Dr. Se.ely, H. Guest, Roy Bellows,
Julian Josephson, and others to num
Jeroue to mention, vs Charlie Parrott,
Ed. Johnson, W. C. Harding, B. W.
Strong and others to numerous to
mention.
We wouldn't be personal for any
thing, but wouldn't Bartrum be
grace personilled running the bases
wouldn't Dr. Seely make a shortstop
that would kill all the ladles in the
grandstand. Wouldn't Deacon Smith's
bald bead be a peach of a place fur
the flies to light out In center field.
Imagine If you can Louie Uelsensteln
making a home run, or S. L. Dillard
sliding for 2nd. Think what Clark
Bargar's form would be In a ball
suit, or Bobb Kidd's face behind a
catcher's mask. Gronvold could coach
for the fats and Napoleon Kice for
the leans Fred Wright for the
shorties and John Campbell for the
longies. Parson Baker might be
trusted to act as umpire. Sum Sykes
could sell programs on ladles' day,
and Joe Slicelll run the lemonade
stand. Dr. Vlncll would have charge
of the red cross automobile, while
Claude Cannon and A. Salzman to as
sist because neither of them ever get
excited. There are several fellows
we might name that) could hit a
home run every time if they knocked
the ball like they do Itoseburg. But
space forbids. Pettit could report the
game by Innings to the Orcgonlan
and the telephone exchange, and The
Evening News run a special base ball
edition. Bert Sutherlin would he re
quired to stand near 3rd base with
an electric fan for the benefit of all
the players that registered there, and
Max Weiss present restoratives to all
that made a tally. 1 i.e Southern Pa
cillc could be represented on one side
by Fatty Moore and on the other by
Ilunty Wright, so as not to show par
tiality. A few blondles like Rexall
Kullerton and Bill Dysinger could be
rung In If necessary to have all
classes represented. Every playor
making a home run ought lo get a
box of Bowden's home-made cigars.
Mayor Haynes would pitch the flrsl
ball, of course, and George Neuner.
Jr., pass on Its legality.
All players would be subject to re
call by a 25 per cent vote of the
paid spectators. An annual pass on
the Coos Bay & Roseburg railroad
would go to the player making the
most brilliant play. Entries can be
l.-ade with Frank Alley, who Is se
lected on account of his familiarity
with race horses.
If the war between Germany and
i ranee begins, also construction on
tiie RosehuTg railroad, this series of
games will be played. Gale receipts
to go to the Mercy hospital, they to
take care of all players until they

Preliminary Work on Government
Telephone Line Started.
Preliminary work on the proposed
government telephone line between
Glide and Diamond Lake was started
this week. Hangers are supervising
the construction.
Forest fires have required the full
government force the past few days
and progress on the telephone lint
has been temporarily abandoned.
District Ranger Ed. Law passed
through here last night with a' ping
of a dozen men, secured in Rose
burg to fight tires. Law snys thai
at least twenty fires have started in.
the Umpqua forest tho past week. No
serious damage Is expected by the
rangers.
New camps are being pitched dally
along the banks of the Umpqua riv
er. Good trout Hshing attracts some.
Others are waiting for the deer sea
son, which opens in a few days (Aug
ust 1.) AH stieak of the unexpected
cool weather to be found in the heav
ily timbered mountains of this sec
tion. A few miles' travel from Rose
burg puts the vacation seeker In a
flsh and game country hardly to be
expected anywhere.
A party of three from the East,
who have been stopping at the Mc
Millan place fo ra couple of weeks
leave here next Wednesday foru two
weeks' hunting and fishing trip It
Crater Lake and vicinity. II. H. Mc
Millan, whose guest tho visitors are.
will form one of the party and act
as guide.
W. P. Wise, of Chicago, one of the
guests at the McMillan home, who has
fished and hunted big game In the
great Southwest and Old Mexico,
thinks he has found the most conven
iently situated "lodge" nt the Mc
Millan house that the country affords
According to him, one can come emp
ty handed and yet want nothing 1.
the way of equipment, food, lodging,
guns, tents, fishing tackle, saddle and
pack horses arc to be had at the
house. And to the heat-stricken cit
izens of Chicago, the privilege of set
ting by a big fire in the evening b
worth the trip lo Oregon. That is
saying nothing of the game anil fish
fug within walking distance, deer
pheasants, grouso, conger and (fur
ther up, bear) Ash, etc. "Surely the
people of Roseburg," he says, "de
not know how easily they can reach
such a place." "Why," continued
Wise, "Just to meet 'Wild 1)111' -McMillan
is worth the 'price of admis
sion'. Bill Is a veteran of the Civil
war, but Bays himself that he Is not
going lo die so long as he sees any
one else living. Any man who ampu
tates his bunions by putting his foot,
shoe and all. under a railway train
and who will get up In the middle of
the night to finish a dish that has
disagreed with him. Just to show lib
stomach that it can't dictate to blm.
is worth going miles to see. But when
you couple II with a nhture that is
the soul of kindness and generosity,
and an originality that puts a hearty
laugh into every remark, you have a
character rare and lovable."

The serretirry of agriculture In the
United States, the Hon. James Wilson,
Is the honorary president of the Inter
national brewers' congress.
The United States department of ag
riculture Is preparing an exhibit by
vhlli The United Sluiea government
will be represented nt the internatlonaP
prize, exhibition for barley and hops.
The department will show what has
lieeu done by several of Its expertH
who have been for sumo years devot
ing their time to the Improvement of
these crops.
The importance of this exhibition for
the farmers who raise barley and heps
annot be overrated. It Is believed
'lint the first step is herewith taken to
bring about a system of valuing those
important crops upon n basis of fact
rather thau upon mere Individual pref
reuce and perhaps prejudice.

Hit Itowed Barley. Through several
yenrs' experimentation at the Wiscon
sin agrlrulturul exiHTlmeiit Htatinu it
baa been found that lliealx rowed bnr-U-y
Is preferable to other varieties nnd
more profitable for the average fanner
to grow. The yield fur Biirpansea that
of the other varieties, and the market
denmndtt fur the alx rowed class far
uriaHM those of all other varieties com
bined. At a conservative f-sMmute US
nr cent f all the barley now grown
lu Wisconsin is six rowed barley. This
being the type of barley most com
monly lined for malting in the Fnlted
Kintes, It Is likely that most of the
ample that will be shown at the bnr
ev ami hop exhibition In Chicago tn
October, It'll, will be of that tyjw. i
The experiments with two rowed
barley thmugti eight years' continuous j
breeding work clearly prove that In j
ium"X regions the farmer cannot get
ih" returns from this crop that ran m j
w. un'd with the six rowed variety, i
The straw seems to be very fruli and !
prtltf.'-i easily, thereby Injuring the j
ipuiHly of the grata and reducing the j
yieid.
