ASHLAND CLIMATE WITHOUT THE AID OF MEDICINE WILL CURE NINE CASES OUT OF TEN OF ASTHMA. . MALARIA GERMS CANNOT LIVE THREE MONTHS IN THE PURE OZONE AT ASHLAND. OUR FURS DING WATER HELPS, ASHLAND. OREGON, TUESDAY,, AUGUST 26, 1919 Ashland "" " ..mcnniTl eo VOL.XLIII Ashland Loses By Pin-Point Llargin The big ones, the little ones, the brunettes and the peach-cheeked blondes are talking about that last Sunday's game yet. And will con tinue to do so for some little time yet. It was one of those copper- riTtd. mlle-a-mlnute, hair-raisers that bring the crowd to a stand and keep them there. All the big fireworks came in the last half of the ninth Inning and if Ashland did lose, it was only by about the width of a pin that ha been run over by a Mikado engine. In the seventh inning somebody started the old "everybody on their feet" stuff and it didn't go for .1 hang, but in the last inning when Ashland batted in two runs and got s man on second and third and Ken neth Lilly at the bat it didn't take any urging to get everybody in the stand climbing upon their neighbors shoulders to get i better view of the excitement. ' But to go back to the beginning: Ahsland had about the best looking club that has performed for the Lithia city this year. Jud Pernol. and Frye o Grants Pass, Mclntlre and Hill of Medford added to the lo cal bunch, made what seemed a sure fire combination. But Weed had brought over the pick of Northern California and Ed Anthony was pitching great guns. It looked like anybody's game up to the fifth. Hits' by Frye. Mclntlre and Lilly In the first and a sacrifice by Hill scored two runs. Lilly by the way. had his eye and plastered the right field wall for three bases with two ahead of him. Hits by Frye, Pernoll and a couple of sacrifices scored one In the third for Ashland. ' Anthony was timid about putting one over for Lil ly and walked him or more would probably hare come In. Weed be gan to get to Wilson In the fourth and scored two.runs with three hits. Then In the fifth came the big blow up. Chief has been pitching hay ten hoars a day and has had no time, to pitch ball and the effects of lack of practice showed. Then after about four hits a close decision at home which the Ashland team and the crowd saw differently than the um pire, cost two runs and took some of the heart out of the locals. Mclntlre went In to pitch during the middle of the mix and did not have anybet ter luck than Wilson. Three moio were scored by Weed In the sixth Ashland came back with one more in the sixth after with hits by Lilly and Bentley, Lilly stole second and ihird. This left the score nine to four and It looked dark but hits by Bentley, Tregilgas and Wilson in the eighth scored two runs. Meanwhile Jud Pernoll had come in from center field and was on the mound for the first time In Ashland since the old days before he. went up to the American league. He had nil the old stuff and gave a real exhi bition of pitching. The Weed bur.ch couldn't touch him. Then the ninth and the fireworks. Hill, Mclntire and Pernoll got good clean doubles and Hill and Mclntire scored. Lilly came up all primed to wallop the ball Into Siskiyou county but An thony wouldn't get the bull within a mile of the plate and Lilly walked. Bentley hit one to shortBtop and Per noll was caught between' third ar.ri home, Lilly taking third. Then on the first ball pitched Lilly got a beuu tiful start and had home stolen and the score tied but Tregilgas managed to get his bat In the way of the ball and fouled it, sending Lilly back to third. Trig then walloped out a long fly which the center fielder caught ending the most exciting ninth Inning rally anyone could wish for. With Pernoll going the way lie was Weed would never have scored . and it would surely have been Ash- eland's game if but why waste time lffing. . ' No gnme next Sunday here Lit Weed is coming back.

By 3 i Friday's issue it is expected that 4- 4 the Tidings plant will be in its i usual running order'. s $ Changed Location Of Service Station At an adjourned meeting of the city council last Friday night an or dinance was passed, changing the lo cation of the new service station which the Standard Oil company have asked permission to erect In Ashland. Owing to residents in the vicinity of Laurel street opposing the building there on the site first chosen by the company, another lo cation was selected on Mountain ave nue between B street and the rail road, belonging to J. J. Murphy. It is expected that work on the new building will be started in the near future.' Much credit Is due T. H. Simpson for securing' this service station in Ashland, as he has la bored unceasingly for the past two years to influence the company to locale here. Campaign Starts For Homeless'Babes W. G. McLaren, general superin tendent of the Pacific Coast Rescue and Protective society, was in Ash land over Sunday in the interests of the campaign to be carried on dur ing the month of September to raise $60,000 for the construction of a new fireproof nursery home for nameless, homeless and abandoned babies of Oregon.

"Be a Brick, Buy Brick," will be the slogan of the campaign. Former Champion Boxer Here Sunday From the pugilistic ring to the pul pit is a far cry. yet Othle Sackett, better known the world over as ".Young Kid McCoy." the champion featherweight boxer, has accom plished that feat, and was in Ashland Sunday night where ho addressed a large audience in the Chautauqufl building. ' Mr. Sackett related his life experience from the time he started out from a country section In Pennsylvania to the nlll districts of the southern, part of the state, where the temptations assailing him led him into a life of adventure which covered experiences as a pugil ist, showman, saloonkeeper and hobo. Finally the man in him pre vailed, and he answered the appeal to a better life and became convert ed. Later he attended the Moody Bible school In Chicago, and has spent the following years in an en deavor to reach the hearts of the nn fortuante ones of the earth And lead them to a better living. He is now (employed as a welfare worker, and was spending a vacation in this sec tion, but utilized that time in speak ing in the various cities of his itin erary. Mr. Sackett impressed his hearers with his extreme earnestness and in n unostentatious way h was the means of turning several people to a better way of life during his stay here. He left Monday even ing for Pennsylvunin where he was called on. business. 1.13,000 UB1.S.

Egg Association Has Good Results The Ashbellent Egg association, organized last spring and uarrled on by the pouitrymen of Ashland, Belleview, Talent and Valley View farms, has been one of the most important and profitable institutions of this section of the county, and has awakened much interest in other dis tricts. Pouitrymen all over Jackson county have kept their eyes on Ash land's plan, and another year will probably see other circles formed In the county. A. C. Briggs, manager of the Ash land Fruit association, receives too eggs each Saturday, counts them and sees to the packing and shipping. He also issues a statement each month of the number of eggs received every "egg day" each week and the price at which they are disposed.

Moved First Press For Tidings Office Seeing the Tidings office equip ment being moved from its old stand Monday led some of the old-Unit" ot reminisce about by-gone days. "My father and I went to Jackson ville and moved the first printing press here for the Ashland Tidings," remarked Eugene Walrad. "That was in 1876, when James Sutton started the paper that has continued at the suite stand until the removal this week. That seems a great change, but very much for the best."
