Matter of Contested Game
Between Grants Pass and
Boas will be Taken up by
L e a g u e Officials — A
Friendly Settlement of
Argument is Hoped for.
The disagreement In connection
w ith the contesting of the game
last Sunday between the Boas and
the Cavemen, which has threaten­
ed to disrupt the Southern Oregon
baseball league, w ill be settled at
a special meeting of the directors
of the association In Ashland F ri­
day .evening, according to an an­
nouncement this morning by A.
C. Nlnlnger, president of the
league.
M r. Nlnlnger said he had been
Informed that each d u b would
hqve a representative here F riday
evening. The disagreement arose
over the playing of “ Hooalr’’ Hof­
fard on the Boas team last Sun­
day, which the Cavemen said was
against the rules of the league.
H offard it appears, at the first
of the season signed a contract
and played w ith the Boses u n til
lin a lly he was given an uncondi­
tional release. However, he a©-'
copied >27 rirom .th e Boses as
transportation money to Marsh­
field, where he played with Med­
ford July S and 4. He is reported
to have decided then to leave the
Medford team and, a fter negotia­
tion! w ith the Boas, agreed to
play on the local team, which he
did last Sncday.
HoffaVd Is reported to have re­
turned the >27 which had been
advanced to h im b y,th e Boses,
which he Is said to claim gives
him a clear record w ith
the
Bqscs. However, President N la -
iager and others are sald to
that when he once aoeqpiqd'
pertatlon money, this obligated
H offard to continue w ith the
Boses until he <was given an un­
conditional release.
M artin Bowers, o f Gold H ill,
manager of the Boas, is reported
to have stated be would insist up­
on the plnvtng of H offard on
the Boas team.
This w ill no
doubt be resisted by the directors
of the association at thb Friday
evening meeting.
The Medford News in its Tues­
day morning Issue stated relative
to this case:
W hether or not the Southern
Oregon base ball league survives
rests w ith the president. A. C.
N lnlnger of Ashland. I f the pres­
ident believes In organisation.^ or­
der and fairness in baseball or­
ganisations, It w ill survive,
'if
not. the league Is doomed. I t is
up to Nlnlnger to say whether or
not a player or any team in the
league is m ightier than the organ­
isation Itself.
One of the laws of the organis­
ation provides that a player on
one team cannot jum p to another
team without securing a w ritten
release from the team he deserts.
“ Hoosier” H offard, who appeared
devil-bent to return to Medford
to play on the local club, and
whose terms were met by the lo­
cal management, stayed l o n g
enough to play two exhibition
games. He was then unable to re­
sist d L o re alluring offer from
the management of the Boas, dis­
regarded his obligations to the lo­
cal management and team and
gave notice that he was going to
Ashland to play. N atu rally, the
local management refused to re­
lease him to Ashland, notified
President Nlnlnger, who advised
the Ashland management not to
