Lithian fold, tired of it all, and,
upon his signing with Medford,
was given employment us a noble
but entirely secondary gesture In
fact, Manager Rickert did the
right thing by Ashland and tipped
Manager Jack Balding off to sev
eral |ilayers in the vicinity of the
valley town who were offering
their services.
On the surface it appears that
such a trade, where one club bar
ters several players for the star
of another club, ahould ire accom
panied by a sizeable lump sum of
cash to sort of balance the deal
say, .50,900. or thereabouts! No
mention has been made of such
provision, however, but poor Bald
