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. Watch fo
. the ads.

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. Mr. McClaren
spoke on the interests of the pro
ject at the union meeting Sunday
night and outlined the methods of
the campaign, stating the needs for
the building. "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.

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. Follow
ing are the sales for the month of
July:
July 5, 450 dozen eggs at 47 cents:
July 12, 461 dozen at 48 cents; July
19, 435 dozen at 50 cents; July 26,
427 dozen at 50 cents.
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."
Daily Newspaper
Issued at Coblenz
i . . . -
The Tidings is in receipt of several
uopies of the "A ma roc News," a two
page sheet printed in Coblenz onthe
Rhine, and paid for by the Y. M. C.
A. and K. of C, and distributed free
to the American forces in Germany.
The publication is issued daily and
Sunday in the interests of the Amer
ican army of occupation and the ed
itor states that "if on the Rhine wa
must sit, then let us know at least
what is going on outside our own
billet." The "Amaroc News" was
sent here by Private B. M. Heath, an
Ashland soldier who Is in Germany.
PRISONER FLED FROM
