Activities Many at Local High School Tennis Matches. An unknown resident of the city has offered six tennis rackets as prizes and a tournament will be held on the high school courts, open to any student, this week. The high school contains some first-class tennis play ers and somt hotly contested matches are anticipated. The Ashland high school baseball team loBt to Grants Pass Friday and won Saturday on the local diamond, thus evening up the series, each team having won a ganieat Grants Pass previously. ' ...... On Friday the game was played in an almost continuous drizzle-of rain, but despite the wet weather was as fine an exhibition of the national game as has been witnessed in Ash land for some years. Cornell, the Grants Pass pitcher, was the whole show for the visitors, holding the locals to three hits and striking out fifteen men. This lad is some pitcher for a high school team and seems to have almost everything." Harris for the locals struck out twelve men, but the Pass boys bunched their hits at critical moments for their six runs. Ahland got several men on bases but could not touch Cornell in the tight places. Hansen, the visiting catcher. ranks alongside "Gravy" Plymate of the locals as a finished receiver and cut off several attempted steals. The game was comparatively free from errors. On Saturday the locals walloped Ainsworth of the visitors all over the lot and piled up fifteen runs while holding the lower valley team to one run. Cornell went back into th lmv in the fifth inning but showed the ef fects of the first game and was un able to stop the onslaught of thA home team. The game was replete with errors and was not a very good exhibition of ball. Harris pitched all of the sec ond game and acquitted himself well, although wobbling a trifle in the eighth. The Ashland team lined up in both games with Plymate behind the bat, Harris pitching, Kirk first base, Finneran second, Riley third, Lilly shortstop, and Morgan, Frame and Fraley in the outfield. No arrangements have been made for a deciding game, but a date may be set later. Ray Sayles of Ashland officiated in both games.

Sunday was quieter than usual, the autoists who make Ashland their Sab bath day Mecca being kept at home by the threatening weather. A num ber of parties braved the danger of getting wet, however, and the park was far from deserted, A number of Medford people picnicked In the park during the day. Ashland streets presented an al most metropolitan appearance Satur day afternoon and traffic congeslton was threatened at busy corners sev eral times during the afternoon. The carloads of visiting Ohioans added to the usual number of Saturday out-of-town visitors filled the streets. At a recent meeting of the board of directors of the Ashland Mineral Springs Natatorlum A. H. Pracht was chosen manager for the reason which Is now about to open.

The following appeared In a recent editorial in the Portland Oregonian: "Chicago's society women, he de clares, lead a 'night life' which would put the slums to shame. Drinking, dancing on table tops and smoking are as common as they are among men, while Mr. Neumann hints at other enormities too dreadful to be mentioned In respectable print." Wo didn't know that dancing on table tops was a common sport among members of the masculine sex. But then maybe so maybe so. Classified Advertisements (Continued from Page Three.)

Heretofore, foreigners who had obtained their first papers could vote after one year, but the new law does not permit voting until foreigners are fully naturalized. Locally there are a number of-people affected by the law, and while they admit their situation is due largely to careless ness, they are greatly disappointed at the new scheme which puts their final proof off until two years hence. Many have been to all intents and purposes citizens for the past 15 to 20 years, but failed to aualifv finallv. This carelessness cannot be explained ex cept by the statement that they kept putting off the proofs and now are like any other foreigners, unable to vote or have any say in public affairs, after having taken part in elections for many years. ' L. F. Cronemlller succeeds Ralph E. Koozer as managing editor of the Lake County, Examiner. Boys and Girls Can Get Hogs Free At a meeting of swine breeders at North Portland last Tuesday arrange ments were perfected for furnishing the boys and girls of all sections ot the state with breeding animals with which to make a start in the raising of ' pork for market. The 'plan was inaugurated by the Union Stockyards some weeks ago, but the call for sows was so great that it was found neces sary to enlist the aid of professional hog breeders In order to supply the demand. The stockyards will receive orders for sows, already bred, pass them on to the breeders who have agreed to furnish stock, and on re ceipt of a properly Indorsed note from boy or girl, the animal will be shipped direct. The notes will become due and payable at the time the pigs are mature and ready for market. This plan has been given an ex tensive tryout in eastern Oregon and proved highly successful. Local boys or girls who have the facilities for keeping the pigs should take advan- tage of this opportunity. Pendleton and Salem are moving for junior high schools.
