Geo. E. Wood, W. M. Green,
B. A. Williams, M. O. Fuller, W.

W EDNESDAY,
The Follow Amusement Com­
pany’s big Carnival and Street
Fair attraction will come to Cot­
tage Grove June 2, under the
auspices of the Volunteer Fire
Department, for a five-days stay.
This company has demonstra­
ted in scores of towns on the Pa­
cific Coast, as well as all over
the country, that they have a
line of attractions not excelled
anywhere, and the Fire Boys are
fortunate in securing them.
The proceeds from the big five
days show will go into the Fire­
men’s Fund o f the city.
C. H. Smith, agent for the
conrpany, was in our city yester­
day making the necessary ar­
rangements for the big show.
CANNERY WILL TAKE
W ILL SAIL OVER
LATE STRAWBERRIES
FRISCO IN AIRSHIP
The Cottage Crove cannery
building is being rushed as rap­
idly as possible, and the board
of trustees now confidently ex­
pect to be able to take care of
the canning end o f the present
season’s strawberry crop.
When one looks the matter
squarely in the face, and sees how
easily the thing was done, once
the people got in earnest, one is
surprised that this community
has been producing fruit and
leaving it to go to waste under
the trees, growing vegetables and
watching them rot in the ground
for so many years for want o f a
market.

TO CLASH WITH
TWELVE INNING GAME
ONLY TW O COUNTIES
CR ESW EU SUNDAY PLAYED AT CRESWELL
ARE AHEAD OF LANE
WHO IS GOING?
The Cottage Grove league ball
team will play the fast Creswell
team next Sunday on the latter’s
grounds, and a large delegation
of rooters will accompany the
locals.
Much interest is being taken
in this particular contest, as
first place is at stake. I f Cottage
Grove wins it will put her in first
place with a percentage of .833,
lowering Creswell standing to
.800. But if the result is visa
versa the standing will remain as
it is.
Another feature that is making
the fans anxious will be the meet­
ing o f the two star pitchers of
the league. Medley and Rankin.
Neither have lost a game this
season, and much rivalry exists
among the fans as to which one
is the better twirler. Both men
have many supporters and next
Sunday’s game will no doubt
draw out one o f the largest
crowds of the season.

JUNCTION CITY GOES
INTO THIRD PLACE
One of the best games o f the
league was played at Creswell
Sunday, When the home team
there defeated Fugene in a hair-
raising game of twelve innings
3 to 2,making four straight games
for Creswell. Never in the his­
tory of baseball in that town has
there been such a stubbornly
fought contest. The score was
tied in the fifth inning, two all,
and from then on until the twelfth
it was a pitching duel between
B. Rankin and McKevitt, the for­
mer having a shade the better of
the argument. In the eleventh
inning Eugene had three men on
bases with no one out, and Rankin
retired the side on strikeouts on
ten pitched balls. McKevitt also
did some great work in the pin­
ches.
The fielding features were
great catches by outfielders Mc-
Donah and Scott, and a running
catch of a foul fly by Everson, all
of Creswell, and the great work
at first by Roch o f Eugene. The
president of the League was in
attendance.
The score 12 innings

Marcóla Wins.
Marcóla finally won a game of
ball by defeating Coburg by 9 to
8 in a brilliant contest Sunday at
Marcóla. It required eleven in­
nings to turn the trick, and it
was done by heavy stick work.
This game gave Marcóla a per­
centage of .200.

Cottage Grove 4, Junction 2.
That’s the way the score read
at the close of last Sunday’s
game at Stouffer’s park when
Medley grabbed a hot grounder
and raced to first-base and
made the last put-out in the 9th.
inning.
The score does not half tell the
tale. It was a great contest and
the several hundred fans that
wended their way to the ball
park came away fully satisfied in
their own minds that Cottage
Grove has a ball team that is the
class o f the league, and one that
will put this city on the B. B.
map for keeps.
It was again a pure case of
high class pitching that kept the
bacon in the smoke-house. It
was pitching backed up by good
hitting. Medley was at his best
and did some great work in the
pinches. He was as cool as a
cake o f ice on a hot August day,
and the few times he was in
trouble with men on bases he
closed up like a clam and pulled
himself out of danger. His sup­
port was not brilliant, yet it was
not ragged.
Two of the hits
against him were on account of
slow fielding, and several errors
were a demand on him for some
brilliant work.
The game did not start off
very encouragingly. The first
man to face Medley hit the first
pitched ball and put it over the
right field fence for a home run.
This would have taken the “ gin­
ger” out of most any twirler,
but Medley grinned his usual
grin and retired the next three
batters in quick succession. He
was never in serious trouble after
that. In the 9th. inning, with
two out, a bunt and an infield hit
put two on, and a bad throw of
the next chance let in the second
and last run for the visitors. The
next man up was put out at first
by Medley.
Cottage Grove did great work
with the stick and in most every
inning had men on bases. The
visiting twirler was constantly in
trouble, but it must be said that
he pitched some pretty ball at
times. His support was weak at
times and brilliant at others. He
had a great change of pace and
a nice assortment of curves.
The visiting shortstop carried
off the fielding honors of the day.
Twice he leaped into the air and
pulled down terrific drives and
doubled out the runners. He
raced into right field territory
and cut off a chance that would
go for a hit nine times out of ten.
Taking the game from all view
points it was good baseliali, and
in winning the game Cottage
Grove deserves great credit and
Junction City no roasting. It
was one of those games where
luck is liable to ebb either way.
People for miles around came
in to see the game as the exhibi­
tion was well advertised. An
excursion was run on the 0. P.
& E. railroad and quite a crowd
of Row River Valley fans werq
in attendance,
