According to eye-witnesses who
saw Jacksonville’s Miners and
Merchants battle for village su
premacy Sunday afternoon here,
neither nine’s pitcher could have
gotten much support even by
wearing girdles. For nine long in
nings players of both outfits met
heavy stickwork with infield and
outfield play that was as airtight
as Amy Dow’s most porous seive
and errors were nearly as thick as
boos as Miners charged on to un
disputed victory over the old has-
beens at the rate of about nine or
10 runs per inning.
Miner Manager Leonard Hall
twirled for his team, allowing 12
safe hits, two of them home runs,
walked seven and disgraced five
players by fanning them. Ernie
McIntyre, who started for Mer
chants, turned mound duties over
to Ben Coffman in the fifth, Ben
passing the buck and ball over to
Verne Cantrail in the eighth, after
Snoose Osborne smacked out a
triple. Home runs were scored by
Tooley Williams, Virgil Swanson,
Howard Latimer, Ben Coffman and
Si Johnson, who smacked two for
the day, while Henry Demmer
made the biggest steal of the af
ternoon by sneaking off the dia
mond just before game started for
Roseburg, leaving Merchant Man
ager Viv Beach there with his re
maining players, a handful of
boasts to make good on, and a
broiling sun and Miner pitcher
bearing down.
Game started off in first inning
scoreless for Merchants, but fruit
ful to the extent of nine runs for
Miners, who were blanked in next
stanza. Merchants got their second
win in third inning, combining
three errors, a walk and a home
run into a trio of scores, while
Miners got but a pair in their
half. As the afternoon wore on and

Pays Fine Here for
Short Weight Sales
When dried fruits shrink, that
is an act of Nature, but when a
storekeeper forgets to reckon with
shrinkage, and continues to sell
packages marked to weigh more
than scales will tip. that is an act
for Jacksonville's justice court,
learned George R. Witters, man
ager of Safeway store No. 41, in
Medford, last Friday. Witters,
when brought before Justice of the
Peace Ray Coleman, plead guilty
and paid fine of * $25 and $4 50
costs.
According to testimony, lodged
by Joseph V. Tompkins of the
state bureau of weights and meas-
ures, Witters had been warned
about shrinkage of packages of
dried fruit some time before, and
advised to resack the product. A
check of Medford grocery stores
by the bureau last week resulted
in the arrest. As much shortage as
five ounces in a two-pound sack
was discovered by the investigator,
according to the complaint.
