were necessary to repair the damage
to the eye.

about fire years ago. In going down
the grade the end of a log that ex

Woodocck being first thrown clear of
the car. He struck npon his face and
chest, and luckily the sand saved him
from more serious Injuries. The
auto, a Ford, wss badly wrecked.
Petr and Pleasure.
The poet writes under one restriction
enly namely, tbe necessity of giving
immediate pleasure. Nor let tbla ne
cessity of producing Immediate pleas
ore be considered as a degradation of
the poet's art It Is far otherwise. It
te an acknowledgment of tbe beauty
of tbe universe, an acknowledgment
tbe more sincere because not formal,
but Indirect ll In n tssk light and
easy to tilm wbo looks ar tbe world In
tbe spirit of lure. Further. It Is a
homage paid to tbe native and naked
dignity of man. to tbe k rati 'J elemen
tary principle of pleasure, by which be
feels and live an I move.-William
Wordsworth

MEPO SPIRIT
AGAIti CROPS OUT
With a sportsmanship that would
do credit to a four-year-old and an
outburst of genuine Medford spirit.
Captain "Shorty" Miles of the Med
ford ball team yesterday refused to
proceed with the' game when a de
cision had been made against his
club. The play In question was In the
first of the fourth, when a Medford
batter knocked a three-base hit but
faded to touch first base and was
put out. The game would probably
have been resumed but for the "crab
bing" of Miles, who has a major asset
In his lung power and who had been
caught asleep off first by Pernoll a
few minutes before.
The first three Innings ot the game
were played In big league style, both
teams playing fine ball. The outi
were made In quick succession and
no runs were scored until the third,
when, after a single and two sacri
fices had placed a man on third,
Weckler laid on the ball for two
bases, bringing In the. first run. In
the first of the fourth, Pernoll, with
one out, managed to catch Miles on
first. A player then got to second
and when the next hatter came up
and was put out for falling to tonch
first, the, Medford team showed the
yellow streak and' marched off the
field. It was unfortunate tbat the
Incident occurred, for even the Med
ford umpire acknowledged that the
decision was fair and that the Med
tord player "might have touched the
bag if he stuck his foot out' far
enough." Twohy Riggs, base umpire,
was on the spot when the play oc
curred, but evidently the Medford
players had had enough of Pernoll.
Umpire Miller, of Medford, award
ed the game to Grants Pass by a
score of 9 to 0, which Is In accordance
with the rules.
It was reported today that "Curly"
Wilson and several other Medtord
players, disgusted with Captain Miles'
action, have turned In their uniforms
and quit the' Medford team as long
as Miles has anything to do with Its
management or direction.
He etuoK te the shew.

VILLA DIRECTS
MEXICAN REBELS
Columbus. N. M., July 10. A pos
sibly delicate situation for the United
States expedition In Mexico msy re
sult from the renewed Vlltlsta activity
In southern Chihuahua, according to
army ofltcers today, This and the
discovery of a quantity of dynamite
In the Mexican quarter ot Columbus
were generally discussed In the base
camp. After a week's search, start
ed on a tip by a 'Mexican member of
the state mllltla, secret service men
dug up the dynamite during the night.
Three Mexicans were arrested. The
hiding place of the dynamite was
thrice changed as the search became
hot, Investigation ; developed. The
three prisoners are suspected ot tak
ing part In the VUllsta raid of
March 9.
v That Villa personally Is directing,
If not actually leading, the present
rebellion devastating southern . Chi
huahua Is undoubted in authoritative
circles here.
"Saviour of Mexico," Villa was
called by recruiting agents and agi
tators who for weeks have been arous
ing the people In Villa's name.
"Tbe object of the American puni
tive expedition was the extermination
of Villa and his bandits," said a high
officer, whose name the censorship
forbids mentioning. "Now Villa Is
beginning operations, Carranza admit
ted his helplessness and Inability to
hold the bandits in check when he
notified Washington to M- on guard
against raids In the Big fiend country.
iBut Carrania's order preventing ui
from moving south, east or west
against tbe 'bandits Is still In force.
' "Now, either the United States or
Carranza must back down. If we are
not to be allowed to carry Out the
original Intention of the expedition,
ourionly -oessietsat' coarse Is with
drawal. While Villa was believed

dead and his bands scattered, talk ot
withdrawal was natural. But now a
new army of bandits haa begun opera
tions at a moment when the relations
between the two governments are
fraught with rve possibilities. It
looks like a typical Villa move, and
I believe Villa Is still alive and Is
directing It. In my opinion, it will
lead to a turning point in the present
situation."
