THTRM) A Y. JUNE 30, IMO (WfflUL POINT AMERHAN. CENTRAL POINT. ORBGON Sport Gags ÍIONS—CROW 1 )ED ÍIE? By K. D. P. Someone told me that with the in creasing interest in baseball by fans, softball in Medford was doomed yet it is the baseball officials who asked the softball officials to close down softball games every Wednesday night so that there might be a larger attendance at night baseball games. —0— I think they are very much mis taken in the move because I believe that out of every two hundred who went out to see the softball games only fifty cared to see the baseball games. So I think it is a very silly movement because softball officials should stick to their own liusines.- and let baseball officials stick to theirs. —U— With the exception of Clarence English, sponsor of Medco, every manager in both leagues has attempt ed to give every player a chance, be cause they are in no position to give any out of town player a promise of a job if they would play for them. While Mr. English is one of the im portant men in the Medford Corpora tion company and he is in a position to hire any high class payer to play on Medco by offering him a job with the corporation. —0— In regard to several demands that Medco be broken up to insure a coser race in the American league, I am entirely opposed to that. It is my belief that before every game against Medco, each team suffered "defeatist complex", with the result that they never get started against Medco. —0— Steiner, pitcher for Medco, may be a high class pitcher but if the boys could only dare not to be afraid of him and of the entire Medco team, old Mr. English would be due for an evening of anguish and I would not be surprised that he will go all over the California state in an attempt to ’ secure another high-class pitcher when Steiner's days are numbered. And I tell you it will be this summer or I miss my guese. Softball News June 12—Faber’s, 17, Teamsters 8. June* 13—Faber’s 8, Elks 17. June 18—Faber’s 13, Rear Creek 10.

H i WA y / to H ealth OREGON DAIRY COUNCIL THE “PICK” OF THE PICNIC These warm summer days invite the family to take dinner or supper out of doors as a change in the rout ine of cooking and eating. A simple fare on your card table, set on the shady side of the house or on the porch, Is a pleasant diversion. Or you can pack the food into a basket and picnic father afield. But where ever you set your table, outdoors or indoors, the rulles for a well-balanc ed meal still apply. With all the modern picnicing aids it Is easy to make the outdoor meal simple and nutritious. Vacuum jugs that will keep food hot or cold for hours make it possible to carry soup, stew, chili, or any other food and have it all ready to serve. A covered casserole of scalloped potatoes, to matoes or mixed vegetables will also hold Its heat for an hour or so. or placed snugly between pillows, much longer. Raw vegetables as a relish or sa.ad are an important part of the ! 1 | I modern picnic. Before you leave home, wash the greens and let them get crisp in the refrigerator. Then wrap them in wax paper and pack them n a paper bag. Tomateos are better taken whole and si ceil at the picnic table. Carrot and cucumber sticks, celery, radishes, or green onions will be fresh and crisp if you carry them in a covered glass jar. Milk, for everyone and always for the children, is the best beverage for the picnic meal. The use of vac uumbottles agin will keep the milk at a constant temperature. Thia is important for milk should be cool for drinking. Ice cream is always the ideal des sert when eating outdoors. Among theitems t hat make picnics simple today is dry ice. Packed In dry ice. ice cream will keep from melting for many hours. You can make your own fresh fruit or berry sundaes at your picnic table and delight your entire family. Cupcakes or cookies to eat with the ice cream are always easy to wrap and to carry. • The beautiful Court of Reflections was crowded—as was every other court and byway — on the opening day of the 1940 Golden Gate International Exposition on Treasure Island.

The result of the bout indicated that one benefit Kenaston got from working his mine the past several weeks was “dirt.’ and plenty of it. Kenaston pulled every low-down trick in the book to trounce his clean opponent, and even though Piluso lost the match, he lost none of the popularity with which he is blessed locally.

Look at that Ashland baseball team. They folded up last week because there has not been enough fans turn out for baseball. It is my belief that too many of them went to see th more exciting softball games. —0— Another important phase of soft- ball games is this: Look at the Med ford Craters and Medford Rogue baseball teams. They must have on their Btiuads about 20 players apiece. They don’t give any greenhorn player a chance to strut his stuff, but soft- ball teams will. There are at present thirteen teams in both the American and National leagues. Each team uses from 12 to 15 players, meaning that there are in the league an average total of 150 to 175 players every week, which is more than baseball can do because they hire out of town ball players in an attempt to strenghten their baseball team.
