Medford Losesthe SeGond
Game of . Series-Casey
Made Fun For the Crowd
and One Costly Error
l By Will G. Mncliau.)
Casey! Mi hearties, there's lots
in a nutne, especially when it's Ca
sey and when that same Casey cut
the same important figure in a bull
game as did Casey of the Portland
ball team Sunday afternoon, when
bis hired men dropped eight runs into
(he hopper while Medford was chas
ing five over the home doorstep. Ca
sey was always an important factor
in the fun, and if the frail flower and
manhood of Medford had turned out
to the hall park instead of staying
at home, the story 41." the game need
only he told for the halt, the blind and
the bedridden.
Had ihe good people of Medford
turned out. they would have seen for
Ihemselves how much Casey there
was to the Sabbath matinee, but they
dodged the fresh air and in conse
quence have to be told. Well, Casey,
beginning at the start, hit the first
hall pitched to him for two bases.
Once after this he singled and once
he mnde a brilliant stop of a hopping
grounder, tint there was a screeching
peeble remover that Casey did nol
stop. It was shot at him from th'
hat wielded by one Miles, known as
Shorty e en to the kiddies on the
street and as a "dear, sweet thing"
to well, anyhow. Miles hit to Casey
and he 1 ted it. On top of the
boot Casey heaved the hall wild to
Mullen at first, and Mullen, the big
sunburnt blond, heaved the ball,
which if it hadn't been for the fence
to the left of the grandstand, would
have gone to the California line.
Two in the Sixth.
He fore Casey's famous hoot took
place (be .-core stood 8 to 2. In the
sixth inning Medford, with a bundle
of fumbles and Kii'ert's single, sent
two runs over the plate. After this
things were mighty quiet until I ho
joyous ninth canto. The only fun
producer was Casey, when he struck
out twice. In the ninth the fun slart
ed, when St. John dropped a fly from
Kane-' bat in right field. Wilkeuson
walked, but was mnrgued at second
an Antic's infield puke. Osborne hit
a double and the si at ions were full
a mile. Then Casey debutted. Wee
Draw lad Miles, aiias Shorty, the
popular, debulted also. Shorty took
aim at Casey's pet bunion and fired
i' way, Casey knocked the smash
down nud Ihe screaming high brows
itt the grandstand mingled their
hoarse, exultant shout of ghoulish
glee willi those in the frozen zone
of bleach. The fiendish glee when
Casey made his bumb peg to Mullen
and when the sorrol-topped initial
sacker threw the ball away, the heav
ens were rent and the bronehinl tubes
split lo a sliver. Casey's helpful
euss, his boot and heave let in three
runs and took four kinks out of Ris
ley eharley horse, which will help
some.
Followed Instructions.
Gardner, who pitched again for
Medford, followed instructions and
tucked away in sic sconce is a misty
notion that Manager Casey double
crossed him. Carey's orders to the
pitchers were "no curves." Gardner
followed advice and in the opening
inning he was clouted for three doub
les and a brace of ingle-, nettini:
Portland four runs. After this heavy
artillery fire the bombardment cea-ed
with the exception of one run in the
eighth until Portland's half of tic
eighth, when Mullen, with two men'
on bnses, -lammed tin ball over left j
garden wall for a homer and a fancy
vest Ft i -ley also hit the ball over
the fence at left, hut this only count
fd for two bae-.

ARE THE BEST
Eastern Writer Scores
New York Growers for
Neglecting Fruit Culture
A recent issuo of Green's Fruit
(Irower, published in Horhestur, N.
V., appiuirod lh following article
under (be caption, "Western Cumpe
t it ion in Apples." According to the
article, ihe eastern apple grower will
have lo make vasl strides before his
produce ran equal the western farm
ers'. The article is as follows:
"I have just returned from n trip
lo Washington, Philadelphia and
New York. In nil of these cities 1
have found the fruit stores and the
markets well supplied with fancy
fruit shipped in baskets from the
states of Idaho, Oregon, Washington
and elsewhere throughout the weal.
Kuril specimen comes wrapped in pa
per and each apple is a perfect spec
imen without a wnrmhole or blemish
. f any kind. I did not find an apple
on which Ihe fruit, stem was broken.
The breakage of the 1 ruit stem would
he considered a defect. There are no
gruises upon the apples caused by
-hipmeut.
The Varieties Offered.
"The varieties I found offered
were I ho (iriiues, Shiytnan's Sinesap,
Spy, liauaua, .Jonathan and Hen Da
vis. While in most cases I found the
mine of the variety stenciled on the
box, 1 discovered l lint the retailer of
these western apples in the eastern
markets could not inform me its to
tlm true mime of the variety they
were selling. Stnynian's Winesap the
dealer said were Spitzeuhergs.
"Some of these western fancy ap
ples notably the .lonathau and Ar
kansas Itlack apples, were so firm
in texture as to be scarcely in good
condition for eating. After keeping
lliese apples Iwo weeks they did no!
soften, hut had a tendency lo wither.
Stuvmaii's Winesap was in prime
condition f(r eating. I fentsed upon
ihis apple all through my trip. It is
of good quality and of tender flesh.
"At Washington the price of fancy
apples shipped in boxes from the
west was cents each. I saw some
Northern Spys offered al Washing
ton at HI cents each, but these were
of marvelous size, beautifully colored,
the best Spy apples I have ever seen.
At New York city these fancy apples
were selling at from It to 10 cents
each, with a slight reduction when
houehl by Ihe do.en. Oranges in nil
T Ihe three eilies were selling at less
than half (he price of Ihese apples.
New York Apples.
"I inquired of Ihe proprietors of
the-e ea-lern fruit stores if they kepi
any western New York apples for
-ale. The reply was that Ihe west
ern New York apples were down and
out, there being no demand for them
on account of Iheir not being well
rown nor well packed.
"Il i- as plain as ihe nose in your
face thai there is a good demand in
all of the larger cillies for fancy
apples at from . cents to 10 cents
i aeh, but it is equally plain that such
apples at present are grown and
narked only in the west. If you will
look in the exhibits in Ihe eastern
laic-, you wilt see a few apples al-;iio-l
equaling lllc t extern fancy apple-
in appearance, but you cannot
buy a carload of these fancy apples
of any but the western growers.
"Thi- que-tion arises. Are eastern
. pple Mj-owers satisfied to grow a
luw L'rade of apples allowing their
w e-tern competitor- full cont ro of
the fancy markets by means of which
the wr-tern growers get more for a
-mall box of apples containing about
i half bushel than the eastern fruit -
: rower gets for a barrel of apples I
containing about three bu-liels? It
o--ible for the en-tern orehardists
;.i ".row as tine apples as me western
rebard- produce. Itnt thi will re
i, iii re new met boil- throughout. We
haw as piod soil in the east. In or
ier to suceeed in growing apples we
iinisl -re llial the trees are properly
iruucd and not only to prevent over
bearhiL'. but to permit of a reason
able ot -nn-bine to eonr the fruit;
ue mii-i keep the -oil enriched and
t ullivnted and in dry -easons mu-t

opinion llial il will pay to irrigate

UKE THE
Considerable Speculation
Rile As to Prsonel of
Crater Lake Road Com
mission to Be Appointed
With the appropriation of $10(1,
01)0 by (he stale and $.0,000 ' Jack
son county, $."'0,000 by Klamalh
county and -foO.OOO more from oth
ei sources, for the construction of
Ihe Crater Fake road, has arisen
deep interest in the personnel of the
commission that will have charge of
the road, which will he appointed by
the governor about May 1!), 00 days
after the passage of the bill by the
legislature, when it becomes a law.
The commission will be composed
of seven members, two of whom must
be from Jackson comity, and two
Iroin Klamath. All may he appoint
ed from these two counties, but it is
probable that the other three will he
from other parts of the stale. Gov
ernor Itensou has nol as yet indicated
his course in th ematter, hut it seems
reasonable to suppose that one of the
two commissioners will he from Med
ford and the other from Ashland. The
members of the provisional commis
sion appointed by Governor Cham
berlain are F. II. Uarrimau and
Frank Hay id' New York, lienton
Itowers of Ashland. J. F. lieddy and
W. I. Viiwler of Medford, V. TI. Hop
kins of Central Point, C. S. Jackson
and W. 0. Steel of Portland.
Some of the Candidates.
Among the candidates, active and
iceeptive, arc Ihe most prominent cit
izens of Ihe county. While n few
auuoiuice themselves as anxious for
the appointment, most of the candi
dates are being urged by friends, hi
Ashland the consensus of opinion
-eems to be in favor of K. V. Carter
and teuton Itowers. Mr. Carter has
done very effective work, both at Sa
lem and in the county for the road,
while Mr. Itowers has also shown
great interest in the successful out
come and was one of the originators
of ihe movement for a state high
way. Judge W. S. Crowcll, who is not an
active candidate, is being put for
ward by his friends as the logical
Medford member of the commission.
His term as county judge gave him a
familiarily with mad work that few
possess, and his qualifications are
beyond question. W. I. Vawter and
i. C. Fuyart are also favorites with
many, both of whom have worked
energetically for the highway. Oth
