J’ville Takes Gilmore Lion 17-14 in Bush League Classic Over Past Week- End on Home Diamond The Jacksonville Miners, trav­ eling again for the first time in a month, will trek to Ashland Sun­ day to meet Shorty Gosnell's Ea- gles on the airport diamond of that city. It will lie the fourth meeting of the two teams, previous cn- counters resulting in two losses and one win for the Miners. With the game scheduled to Sturt at 2:30, Miners will embark for the Li th la city at 12:30, play­ ers and fans seeking transporta­ tion to meet ut The Miner office before that time. , I-ust Sunday, in u game which was fit for "the book,” Miners took the measure of Medford's Gilmore Lions for the second time this year, when a total of 31 runs wum divided 17-14, in favor of the gold diggers It was a game filled with grandstand playa, circus niches, four home runs and sev­ eral arguments In fact, It was the biggest money'sw orth for fans of the season, anyway it is put. "Screwball' Turner and Ben Coffman threw to Johnson for the Miners, while Merritt, Lewis and Kenton threw for Gilmore; Ward. John Smith and Stcxidard receiv­ ing. Yakei starred at bat, with four hits in five chances, while Turner gathered in three out of four. Miners collected 19 safeties to Gilmore’s eight, while the Lions made 11 errors to Miners' eight J'ville took an early lead, which was maintained throughout the gume, although score was close and interesting at ull times. Gil­ more amassed five runs on four walks, a hit and1 an error in the first frame, while Miners came back In their half to score seven runs on one walk, four hits and two errors. Game was spotted with brilliant plays and sloppy support and. just after Dick Sakraida starred with a circus stop of a hard-hit grounder off second, Screwball Turner drew applause of the day with a gallery-gasping catch of a foul ball back of third, while playing shortstop. Little Pee­ wee Van Gaider, nephew of Turner holding down second, made an "impossible” catch of a Texas leaguer to surpiiae a base runner with a double play.

JACKSON VILLE DANCE ONLY ( Ol M V SPOT PERMITTED TO CONTINUS TILL 2 O’CMJCK A distinction one way or an­ other was accorded Jacksonville a few days ago when the county court ordered that every dance hall, or dance operated in connec­ tion with the dispensing of beer, be closed at 12 o’clock with the lone exception of Jacksonville, where the local chamber of com- mercc operates a dance until 2 a m. each Saturday night. Inasmuch as J'ville's dancing hours are governed by local ordi­ nance which permits the practice, county court control does not ex­ tend over the local situation, pro­ viding quite a business asset- for the Jacksonville chamber, which depends entirely on dance revenue to carry on its work. According to county and state officials, beer parlor dances are not proving popular with "the law,” though they have been a huge success so far as patronage is concerned. Officials are inclined to favor saving the dance business for regular dance halls.
