Medford was favored with one ot the finest addresses on Memorial duj by Hon. P. II. D'Arcy that has ever hecn delivered in tho city.

After the usual ceremonies, tho speaker. Judgo D'Arcy, came forward and with his fervid eloquence swayed the great audience into living mem ories of the past.

With tho appearance here of two de tectives said to be in the employ of United States Senator William Lori mer, the next chapter in the Lorimer alleged bribery scandal, it is expect ed, will have its setting here. The parents of Charles A. White, whose "confession" that ho was paid to vote for Lorimer for senator started tho present investigation, live here. White spent many years of his life in Knoxville, and it is generally be lieved that the detectives have been here to "look up his record." Medford still has that 1.000 per cent. Won't some tenm please break it? Sunday's and Monday's games were both nice exhibitions of baseball. For some reason tho heavy slu! cers of tho Grants Pass team cannot lint Burgess ns well as tho weaker batters. With the bases full and three runs needed to tie tho score. Bowers tried to lay down a bunt in tho ninth in ning. It wns poor hcadwork when a single would have scored two men or a fly to tho putficld scored the runner from third.

Say, don't you know tho Medford fans nro sweet on tho Central Point team? Thoy received ninny rounds of applause in yesterday's game. Clark, for Central Point, and Miles and Strain, for Medford. ench made a 'beautiful pickup yesterdny. Central Point played a nice field ing gamo yesterday and hit tho bnll hard at times. Coleman would then tighten up in the jiinches and pre vent their scoring only once. Mnnngcr Grieves has collected a good bunch of ball players and is entitled to much credit for doing so, under so many adverse circum-' stances this year. START WORK SOON Central Point tins certainly home unreasonable funs. In the first game played Medford, the .Medford tenm only got four hits off Lux, yot thoy clnimed ho wns bought off. Wonder who bought Murray off last Sunday? Got wise, Central Point. Tho bcHt games you have played this season were when Lux was in the box. Ho has pitched good, hard bull for you and his work should bo appreciated more. Medford plnvs at Grants Pns next Sundnv and mi doubt a good bunch of fans will accompany the team.
