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.

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

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

at a constant temperature. Thia is

for drinking.
Ice cream is always the ideal des

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.

I say and repeat once more that
softball is here to stay and will re
main as one of the most important
recreational games of the valley.
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.
