There were things doing at the Med­
ford baH park Sunday afternoon, when
the Medford team, reinforced by Jack­
sonville and some other towns, cleaned
up both Hilts and Central Point in a
double header engagement. Hilts took
the first turn at the game, and for nine
long innings there was an aggregation
of errors on both sides that would be
difficult to duplicate in any state in the
Union. Neither side had any edge
over the other, however, in the way o f
fuss and fumbles until the eighth, when
the score was switched from the Cali­
fornia boys’ favor to Medford’ s column.
The game was interesting all right,
even though the players were all frozen
stiff as graven images. And it really
was the weather that was to blame for
the entire trouble, for the way the
cold wind howled over the diamond
was a caution. During the two hours
that the Hilt game lasted the Central
Point team sat around and shivered
and when thair game was called the
boys were humped up like a bunch of
maverick steers in a Wyoming blizzard.
The first game was just good practice
for Medford and they went into the
second game in good feather. The first
