LITHIANS WILL
TRAVEL SUNDAY
Looking forward to a tough
game. Manager Leonard Hall will
take his Lithian nine to Glendale
.Sunday when they will meet the
veteran but disgruntled loggers
in the first of two consecutive
games, the second to be played in
Ashland the following week-end.
Absence of Ted Schopf, short
stop who will be In Portland on a
wedding trip, will cause some
shifting of the lineup for Sun
day's encounter Jack Balding,
completely recovered from a pitch
ed ball knockout received in the
Camp Wimer contest last week,
probably will start in Schopf's reg
ular position, with Darrell Leav
ens or Parker Hess at the second
sack post Either Patterson or
.Jim Riley will be at first, and
Chief McLean, versatile Indian
slugger, likely will try a new
place at third base
Al Simpson, one of the league's
outstanding catchers, will wear
the big mitt and his signals will

best, relief pitcher. Combest was
caught by n pile of fnlling lumber
while employed at Coggins' mill
and a possible fractured left wrist
is to be x-rayed this morning. If
no break shows, the young right
hander likely will make the trip.
Ashland’s pitching department
will get a powerful shot in the
arm with the return of Bob Hardy
from Eugene Saturday. It is be
lieved the lanky southpaw will go
t«. Glendale with the Lithlans this
we«'k-end if he arrives here in
time. Should Hardy accompany the
squad, Ashland chances for victory
Sunday will take a big upward
zoom. Hardy being classed as of
big league caliber, having tabled
several coast league contracts in
favor of completion of college
studies.
Ed Learning, Jim Riley, Hall
and Phil Keaton will be on deck
for outfield duty.
As for Jake Glpe's lineup, It
probably will be the same which
played Klamath Falls Red Sox for
the league pennant last year.
Glendale probably will start

Just A Hick!
By LARRY HUNTER
Some reading matter which holds no liens
On my low-brow taste includes magazines
Which feature ads—ornate affairs—
Displaying duds for millionaires.
Sophisticates, Bermuda tanned,
Display loud checks in manner grand,
Or a debutante in a Paris bonnet
(Like a bird’s nest with a feather on it)
Cuts many a fancy-dandy caper
Across four-bits worth of shiny paper.
Take from me such silly plunder,
And give me some real old blood-and-
thunder!

\VITH July 4th only a month
’* away member« of th«“ celebra
tion committee from the Chamber
of Commerce advertising group
met last night at the chamber
office but failed to crystallize any
definite plans for a fiesta.
Originully it had been plan
ned to stage an elaborate hol
iday here, with athletic con
tests,
carnival,
a
parade,
hands and other amusements
but curtailed financial back
ing led to a lessening of en
thusiasm.
JOHN E. ENDERS, illustrious
” potentate of Hillah temple,
who will preside over the spring
ceremonial of th«* southern Ore

Th«* conclave will open with a

MOTORISTS IN
LICENSE RUSH
Refusing to set up for the stip
ulated price of $600 offered by
H. L. Claycomb as agent for the
committee, the Browning Amuse
ment company countered with an
offer to pay $300 for privilege of
showing here June 28 through
July 5. A wire was drafted at
Thursday night’s meeting accept
ing those terms with a rider pre
venting any carnival confliction
with a tentatively planned wrest
ling card promoted by Mack Lil
lard for the evening of July 5.
I^ist year's card was a successful
attraction.
It now appears likely that the
July 4 affair in Ashland will be
i advertised lightly in southern
[ Oregon and northern California by
I radio and local newspaper, and in-
: vitations will be sent to Granges
I and other organizations extending
I them the city’s hospitality over
the holidays and to enjoy picnics
in Lithia park, entertainment to
include a tentatively planned
baseball game, band music, and
regular amusement facilities such
as resorts, golf and swimming.
Members of the committee, after
a canvass of business men, re
garded the idea of an elaborate
parade and municipal fireworks
display as being more expensive
than practical.
Committeemen agreed that the
more complete celebration of other
years was a splendid step in a
program of advertising to make
tourists Ashland-conscious, but all
seemed unable to offer any con
structive idea by which such a
project could be carried out under
conditions existing this year.
Definite assurance of carnival
acceptance is expected to be the
cue for more detailed plans.
Present at the faceting over
which Claycomb presided were
I>oui8 Dodge, Guy Applewhite,
Andy Anderson, Fred Tayler,
Chester Corey. Bill Ausland, Clint
Baughman and I. C. Erwin.

| ing to offi ,-ials of the operators'

I However, renewals of drivers' li-

early applications eliminate the
trouble and Inconvenience of as
suming a position in a long wait
ing line which is bound to form
