Peroixi and J. H. Mc Gee both spoke In favor of the baseball program and expressed belief that the board should let the grounds be used, but Chair man V. O. N. Smith, Homer Billings and Hal McNair were against any such action. Just what'steps will be taken will be decided during the day, as the directors' of the ball league will be here from Med ford, Grants Pass and Klamath Falls. Ashland must make a de cision one way or the other by tonight In order that the league can get under way. It was suggested this after noon that the Jackson Hot Springs might be ¿ad e available for a ball park, and Jack Milton, owner of the reaort, said ho would be glad to furnish the necessary ground if it was found suitable for that purpose. Fair Grounds Available The Jackson county, fair board also will permit the use of the fair grounds, but it was not thought Ashland would be a strong drawing card If Its “home" games were played at the fair grounds. There appears to be a wide spread sentiment favoring a base ball team and Ashland's entry Into the Southerp Oregon league, but with no baseball park avail able, ana with only a few weeks in which to procure a park and whip a team Into shape, there is a possibility that the plans will be dropped for this year. w u n » TOTS Epidenjüc Claims More Lives This W eek at Klamath F alls KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., April 16— Spinal menlngiitla claimed two more .victims In Klamath county this week, and health authorities admit they cannot' prqphesy when the dread epidemic will run Its course.

The fate of baseball in Ashland rests, appar ently, on whether or not a playing field can be pro cured. Members of the Jural hoard of education last night refused the use the high (school athletic park for Sunday baseball. This decision was taken, it is reported, because «nee of the five members of the board feared there» would be an upheaval of public condemnation. Chi this stand, The Tidings cannot agree with members of the school board. It believes there are as many who would sanction Sun day baseball in Ashland as ajiiong those who might oppose it because of religious scruples. Ashland- through various agencies, is spending hundreds, even thousands of dollars, in one way anti another, to advertise this city as a summer resort. It is one of the best advertised of the smaller cities on the Pacific coast. I t is only right and fair and just that it should provide same clean entertainment for its hundreds of visitors \vho may happen to be here on Sundays. Baseball fis a clean, vigorous sport. Those spon soring the movement in Ashland give assurance that it will be conducted legitimately in this city. There will be no rowdyism. It v ill create a friendly rivalry between the sister'cjtiss of Southern Oregon and provide wholesome entertainment for the citizens a^id visitors on Sunday afternoons. The city administration is reported to have given assurance that no effort will be made on the 'part of the city to interfere with Sunday baseball just so long ns it is conducted along clean, legitimate lines. Baseball has been rightly termecU the national pastime of America, but Southern Oregon during recent years has been sadly lacking in baseball in terest. An effort is now being made to revive this great summer sport in Southern Oregon, and the jteople of Ashland, through their various officials, should aid in this worth-while movement. The Tidings appreciates that members of the school board are actuated in their*deoiaioa by'what, they believe to be the highest motives so far as they concern the morals "of the community, but this news- poper likewise believes that the school board could properly and in good conscience grant the 'use of the high school athletic park for this year as a means of stimulating interest in baseball. We would even go so far as to suggest that use of the grounds be granted this year with the strict understanding that other grounds must be made available before next year. The time is now too short for baseball enthusiasts to find and build another playing field. An immediate decision must be made. In the interest of a sport which we honestly be lieve will be a credit to Ashland and her people. The Tidings’ sincerely urges' members of the school board to reconsider their action of last night.

One tract of 62 acres was purchased from a group of five local busi ness men, while the adjoining tract of 33 acres was purchased from Mrs. George Owens. Investigation of the records on the Kincaid tract yhich the club at first purchased, dis closed legal entanglements which might have held up the club for many months, so this prop erty was turned back to the owner, and the directors im mediately bdgan looking for an other desirable site. Closer To City The new site Is mueh closer to the city than the other and is said to be ideally located for golfing. Five business men pur chased the 62-acre tract several years ago for the purpose of building a golf course, but after It had been purchased they found .It was too small. The golf club directors began negotiating for adjoining property and the Owens tract* finally was offered at what they considered to be a fair figure The five business men who owned the larger tract are F.
