Med ford inns up? looking forward to the call of the umpire who will shout tomorrow afternoon, "l'lny ball." This will be the first game be- tween Mannger Casey's training squad and the local team, and the gumes promises to be one thai will attract attention, for it will give the inns n chance to see the Portland' hopefuls in action. Another added interest will be the appearance of the local players in (heir new uniforms, j The failure of but one new player lo report to Manager Casey has giv en the new magnate his first case of worries, and the Portland manager, after eagerly looking over the crowd of hiisky men who alighted from the train, turned away in disappointment. Mnnager Casey is especially anxious to have Shortstop Cooncy on hand for tomorrow's game, for he hasn't anyone 1ml Swanlon, who is an out fielder, to play this important posi tion. As a makeshift. Swaulon will t.over short nud Manager Casey will play several pitchers in the outfield. Medford Borrows Battery. In order to make ap the local team Manager Casey will furnish Medford a pitcher and a catcher. Gardner, the long pelican, will be on the Tiring line for Medford and llarrigan will act as receiver general. With thi combinntion as a battery, Medford will give Casey's Colts some trouble during the afternoon. Mullen will guard the initial station and unless someone whispers to Casey that jack rabbits are running between Medford and Jacksonville, he will perform around second base. Kisloy will stop the shoots from getting by third and Troeh will do the catching. Just who will do the pitching for Portland Ca sey hasn't decided, but it is more than likely he will give three of his pitchers a chance to work out. The Medford team that will be in uniform will be Jones, who will play first base; Miles will cover the key stone sack; Kifert will be at third, and Wilkenson at short. In the out field Antle in the left garden, Isaae in center field and either Clark or Sabin in rifht field. Most of the local players have been out during tho afternoons and have been work ing hard in anticipation of the hard game they have in front of them. In spite of the hard grilling that the members of Casey's training enmp went through Thursday, they teported at the hall park today in fairly good condition. Some of the hopefuls were still tired and sore. but before half an hour's work they all seemed to he limbered up and were heaving the hall around. Casev put his renienents through the reg ular hatting stunts and gave half an hour to inside baseball coaching. t After this there was a general sta pede around the ba!' pnrk. each of the players making the trip around the grounds five times.

The only expense to the commis sion for the engineering work will bo for livery and the like, for in the blank referred to in the director's letter the following words appear: "It is understood that the office of ublic roads will pay the salary and all expenses of the engineer assigned, except livery charges which may be incurred in the inspection of roads, materials, etc.. the undersigned agree ing lo provide for such livery ex penses.'1 So matters will be off in a rush in May. for on May 10 the governor ran and has stated he will appoint commission and get the work under wav. CUPID'S DARTS STRIKE MAN'S SOLAR PLEXUS CHICAGO,' March 2. Dr. Shel don l,envitt, who has charge of the Johnston Mier Psveothcrapeutie lass, in his latest lecture informs his students that cupid's darts, con trary to time-honored notions, do not land in the heart, but in the solar plexus. A question raised by a young wom an at last night's session led to the following explanation by the instruc tor: 'Have yon not at times felt a sink ing, gone teelmg about the solar plexus, particularly so after a disap pointment in affection? Such a feel ing always is felt in periods of pro found depression and it shows that the solar plexus is an emotional cen ter, if not the actual seat of affec tion. I might properly term it the areat emotional center." GRANTS PASS THINKS SHE HAS THE REQUIRED 5000 GRANTS PASS, dr.. March 26. Z. C.
