CAPTAIN KELLEY MAKES
GREAT FIND FOR GAME
It has heen noted with regret for
several days that one f ihe profession
nl members of the Commercial cluli has
been taking lilllc inlereHt in the bull
game to be pulled off Saturday niter
noou lit the park between Ihe business
men and the profeKsionals furl her Hunt
to offer odds of 10 to J on the business
team. This disloyalty to his own team
has been the source of much comment
about town . ami it was not until t"duv
that the reason for t Imh stand was
known. In completing arrange men t for
thn gorgeous street parade, which will
be several miles in length, Dr. I'uge
wits asked to assist with his aula. The
stirprise was great when .Mr, Tage slul
ed tn few and simple words Hint he
wonld have nothing to do with the pa
rade or the game. After some coax
tug, the reason for his peculiar stand
was given. Mr. J'age slated that lie
considered himself one of the greatest
"globe chasers" fn Medford, yet had
not oven been asked to take part in
the game, The captain of the prnfes
rtionnls thought thorn might be some
thing in this statement, ami asked t'oi
qualifications, wherropon Mr. I 'age held
out both hands, showing many crooked
and enlarged finger joints. Thorn was
no room for doubt left, as to the dor
tor having played somo ball, so it was
arranged, ufter more coaxing, for u ,
try out tomorrow afleruoou at, t he I
grounds. The new "find" of Captain
Kollcy'H is causing somo excitement in
sporting circles and the try out will lie
watched with much interest. Should
Mr, Pago prove to be the player some
thiuk he is ami shows up fast, iiegoliu
tions will be made if possible to secure
him for tho game Saturday afternoon.
Just who will be replaced by Mr. I'age
is as yet ttnkuown.
As Tho Tribune goes to press word
comes that the 10 to I bets made dur
iug the past week are quiet y brine,
called off by Mr. I'age, at the same
time it Is said that a close friend of Mr.
Page's is picking up nil bets at even
money on the 1'ros.

THERE IS NOT A THING OBJECTED BY THE LOCAL OPTIONIST BUT
WHAT IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN BY LAW. A STATUTE PROHIBIT
INO MINORS FREQUENTING SALOONS. OR BUYING LIQUOR, OR SELL
INO TO HABITUAL DRINKERS. IS PART OF THE LAW. IF IT IS VIO
LATED. WHY NOT ENFORCE IT? THE SALOONS ARE PUBLIC

WHEN IT OCCURS. WHAT MORE DO THEY WANT THAN THE EN
