Thore wasn't aoy money up on the garno but there was. probably 600 or I00 bet on the side won by Medford people and contributed i by Grants Pass sports. There. were about 175 people who caino up from GrsnU Pans to see tho gamo but be It said to the credit of a lew of tbom (hoy did not see It. It was, too tough a lay-out, and Instead of going to the grounds after leaving tho train they put In tbe afternoon around town. t . Before that crowd came up bere our townspeople thought we had a few average tougb young men, but elcoe Sunday thoy have brandud everyone of our boys as giuntlemon as compared with others. No sooner bad the train upon which the Grants Paw crowd ar rived oome to a tUndiUll than did the aolse oommenee by a ohorus of loud, coarse and very profane yells. -Thlt ww repeated tevoral times much to tho disgust of all our people who heard It also u some who came on tbe train who felt ashamed of being caught in that tow-lived obarnelbouse of pro faulty aod bad whisky. Not did the ribaldry cease wltb the Incoming of tbe crowd. It went to tbe ball grounds and there Insulted men, women' and obildren. The hoodlums drank whisky from bottles while standing in front of tbe grand stand, swore almost inees- antly, and the vulgar epithets they applied to Medford people were disgust ing in the extreme and tbe wonder Is that the offenders were not arrested. After the game was over the streets of our town were made as unpleasant by this rowdyism as had been the ball grounds during the afternoon. 8ucb boodlumlsm as was displayed Sunday would have been most dl graceful upon a week day, but when it was given vert upon a day aet apart for worablp and rest its grating upon tbe more delicate tenses ot even our most hardened oltlzens was noticeable. It was the toughest day ia the history of our town and It will not be re pea ted; the better olass ot oltlzens will not tolerate it; they are up in arms and do not Dronoee to have our town aoain insulted. The homeT)ll boys did not expect it and they rug retted lie oocur- renoj as much aa anyone.-, As we said In the outset, tbey an gentlemen, and know tbe usages and customs of good society aui are respecters ot ladies and tbey were sorely agrleved be cause it happened that way and because that it was on Sunday. There Is one way In which the Med ford boys ean further endear thorn selves te Medford people don't play ball again on 8unday.

We said it wus hotly contested, Titos who saw It will' not doubt the trutbfulnoss of this assertion, : From commencement to finish there was no time when tbere was more than one tally in favor of either, Ham, and at the commencement of the last half of tbe ninth lotting tbe game stood eight to eight, but Medford mane a score ana tne game was nnlsbeo with Medford the winner, . Tbe Grants Pass pitcher was from San Jose and their catcher from Cot- tagu Grove, Tbe Medford pitcher was G, U. Fleming, of tbe Torpedo team, Portland, and tbe catcher was. H, B, Meyers, of this city. Since last Sunday tbe Grants Pass ball team has been keeping the tele phone wires hot between Medford and that place In an endeavor to get another game,. Our boys at first declined to have anything further to do wltb them, but It Is now possible that a game may bo made for a near date, tbe game to be Played at Ashland. , OMtuary Mr. A. A. Osrvlsv Died In Ashland, Oregon, at ' tbe home of H. H. Hosier, on Aug. 11, 1000, Mrs. Angella M. Davis, aged fifty years, one month and ttreoty-one days. Anejella Mellsra Langdon was born June 20, 1850, at Beaver, Peon. In early childhood she lived in Iowa and from there she moved to .Minnesota, whore, on Nov. 6, 1871, she was mar ried to Mr. Ansil A. Davis. Four chil dren blessed this union. , Mrs.- Effle Halley and Orln Davis, of Medford, Mrs. Grace Hosier, of Ashland, and Soott Davis, also of Medford. Deceased also leaves two brothers and two sisters behind to mourn her loss. One of these Is Mrs. Hazel of our own city. The brothers and the other sister, still re side In Minnesota. Eleven years ago Mr. and Mrs. Davis moved to Medford with their family. Here Mr. Davis engaged in milling and other business, and prosperity at tended his efforts, so that today Mr, Davis Is accounted one of our most sub stantial aod prosperous business in Southern Oregon. Tbe deceased was a lover of her home, and greatly attached to her family. She was converted a few years ago and united with the Presbyterian Church of Medford, while Rev. A. S. Foster was its pastor. Mrs. Davis had been a great sufferer for several years. Three years ago she was struck by a work train, and severely injured. She never regained her full strength after the ac cident occurred. About two years ago she gradually grew worse, aod all that medical skill could do, was done for her; but it was impossible to cure ber, Toward the end she often spoke of the rumbling, roaring water whlob she heard, and said it must be the river of death drawing near. She seemed ready and was prepared to go. . Among her last words, were tbe following to her daughter, Mrs. Halley: "You all can, and do move around, while I cannot; but must lie here helpless, but some ay I will make a grand, move to eaven. Tbat will be grand, won't it itKffie?" ' The funeral services were held last 8nnday at 2 o'olock, at her home in Medford, whither her body had been brought from Ashland. Her pastor, Rev. Adolph Haberly, oreaohed the funeral sermon. A large number of relatives, friends and fellow townspeo ple were present at the funeral to pay their respects to the departed. The floral offerings were ' numerous and beautiful.. The remains were laid to rest in Odd Fellows cemetery under the shade of e protecting oak, The words of the following poem were a part of Mrs. Davis' mother's obituary and are included here because they are dear to the family.

Mb, at 10 a. m., aod en joyed a most Interesting session srith Mrs. Root, president, in the chair and Miss Laura Bennett, organist.
