belief that the board should let

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

tonight In order that the league
can get under way.
It was suggested this after
noon that the Jackson Hot

for a ball park, and Jack Milton,
owner of the reaort, said ho

’ Whether or not Ashland is to have a baseball
team in the (new Southern Oregon league is a matter
which must be definitely settled one way or another
within the next two or three days.
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.
