A-T’S WILL MEET
PEAR CITY NINE
The Ashland-Talent Baseball
club will take to the field again
for the second straight week on
foreign soil Sunday afternoon.
May 26, when they cross bats with
the lowly Medford Rogues on the
latter's diamond at 2:30 o’clock.
The A-Ts hold a pre-season win
over the Rogues, who have been
smeared in every major game
played to date. The Skeeters-
Simpson coaching combination
used by Ashland-Talent has steer­
ed the local club into a rousing
win over Roseburg and has re­
sulted in a defeat at the hands of
Crescent City and Grants Pass,
both of whom are fighting it out
for first place.
Skinny Wilson, who registered
the Pirate win. is the logical
choice for moundsman. with Di-
Sordi and Combest on hand to
help out in the relief role if one
is needed.
Other league games will pit
Crescent City against Grants Pass
on the Climate city diamond and
Roseburg will travel to Gold Hill.
