Six Months of Undiluted Joy for
Baseball Fans is Prospect Bids
Fair to Be a Banner Year in Bin,
League Circles.
NEW YORK IS FAVORITE
AMONG SPORTING DOPESTERS
Connie Mack Will Go Into the Season
With the Same Old Lineup That
He Had Last Year.
MOW YORK, April 11!. Six
months of undiluted jy for the base
ball fan. In other words, the 11)11
baseball season, opened today In both
of the big leagues.
Today begins what bids fair to be
the most proprltlous year the nation
al game lias over known. Haseball
has grown so tremendously big and
Is now conducted on (such a compre
hensive and businesslike basis that it
is pretty safe to prqdlct that every
season will bo a little better on the
whole than Uhe preceding year.
Knowledge of this fact prompts Pres
ident Lynch of the National and Pros
Ident .Johnson of the American to pre
dict that 1911 will sot a new record
In attendance.
A remarkable feature of the season
now opening Is that the Chicago Cubs
who won the National league penant
with ease last year, ore not tho fa
vorites for tho honor this year. Tho
short end in the betting Is tho Now
York Giants, who finished second In
1910.
I A symposium of. views of .'10 well
known sporting editors In big league
towns found 24 pinning their faith
to Now York and gnlyJhroo In Chica
go. Of tho IhrceT'who picked Chica
go, two wero Chicago scribes. Throe
also touted Pittsburg for tho flag. In
tho American league 29 of these writ
ers selected tho Philadelphia Athlet
ics to repeat, while one lono dope
stor looked to Detroit tor tho win
ner. It Is easy enough to seo why the
Athletics should bo such a unani
mous choice, for the team showed last
bcason that It Is still coming, but It 1h
difficult to seo why tho Cubs should
run such a bad second to New York.
It Is probably becauso tho GlanU
made such a strong finish and the
Cubs went down to such Inglorlouc
defeat before tho Aathlotlcs lu the
world's title games.
Tho falluro of the Cubs to repeat,
howovor, may be predicated on only
ono basis a fall-down on tho part of
several of the old stars. The Chica
go team that takos tho field today Is
practically tho sumo team that has
won four of the last five National
league flags. .Manager Chance's com
bination has proved unbeatable In the
National league, so that the only way
It Is likely to lose this year will be
for tho hitherto air tight machine to
"blow" or for other teams to exhibit
unexpected strength.
Those who poHtdmlHtlc regarding
Chlcngo put the proposition this way:
There Is more likelihood of Chance's
eterun team becoming creaky than
that tho Giants, the Pirates or the
Cincinnati Hods will not strike a
swift and deadly guit and maintain
It to tho end.
It Is differences of opinion tiiat
make horso races, and the same holds
true In baseball. National league
followers gonerally would not i egret
to see some othor team than the Cubs
cop tho bunting for otherwise tin
prospect of tho National league re
gaining tho world's tltlo Is about as
bright as tho Alberta orange crop
Tho team that Connlo .Mack turned
out last year would, In tho opinion of
ulno oxports out of ten, trim tho CiiIih
nearly as often as they could get to
gothor. And this Is tho team that
Connlo Mack. If foituuo goes well
will hurl against the National league
wlnnors again.
Whou Mack was asked for tho linn-
up for his opening game this year.

Tho old Commercial club rooms nt
tho Nntntorlum building last evening,
on tho occasion of tho meeting of tho
Medford Realty association, woro fill
ed to overflowing. It was n great
success from Btart to finish. Tho
meeting was a public one for tho pur
poso of having 12d Andrews mnko his
report on conditions In Portland, as
ho found thorn after a ten dnys' in
vestigation into tho colonist situation.
Ills remarks brought out ono vital
feature that has not horetoforo been
considered seriously by many Med
ford peoplo, although cautioned to
do so by the Commorclal club, and
that Is tho fact that a largo number
ot this year's homesookors huvo pur
chased tickets to Portland only, and
not to tho torrltory lying to tho south.
This Is due to tho opening of central
Oregon by railway, and tho extensive
advertising which has been made by
Mid II una tn tnf nctwl nf ttnr Imwla In
over tho country show that not less
than ten million acres are available
for homcHtoudlng, and this competi
tion must always bo expected to bo
mot by communities whore govern
ment lands have already been taken
up. Hcsldcs tho Idea of virgin coun
tries always appeals to peoplo who
would rather pioneer than make their
homes lu settled districts.
Mr. Andrews failed to find, ho said,
any contorted action on tho part of
Portland's commercial bodies seeking
to divert peoplo Horn the Hoguo Riv
er valloy to their own Immodlato sec
tion, but there Is a tromendously ac
tive offort being made by roal estuto
oporators to got thoso nowconiors to
go Into the districts whoro thoy hnvo
lauds for sale, and practically every
section lu Oregon, east of Portland
and north of Hosoburg, Including
southwest Washington and tho whole
Columbia river basin, Is represented
by splendidly organized forces. Tho
rank and fllo of Portland peoplo per
haps don't know enough of tho Hoguo
Illvor valley. They havo seen tho ad
vertising signs of Hood Hlver and
the Willamette valley staring thoni
lu tho face so long that they can't
stop to think of othor places. lOvou
Lewiston, Idaho, farther from Port
land than Medford, Is one of the terri
tories doing tho most effective work
lu the metropolis. Thou all Willam
ette valley communities are ortran-
1ed to work for tho country north of
KtiKeue, and Medford and tho Hoguo
Rher valley gets the whole force of

that they must Medford' offectlvo ad
vertising methods of the past, but at
the mime timo work tooth and nail
uguliist Medford, In order to got their
share of the people, and thoy are do
ing It.
Mr. Andrews made a strong appeal
for the people ot tho Rogue River
valley to work In harmony aud co
operation. Forget your cities and
towns, he says, and quit boosting
them, but plug for tho Hoguo River
first, last and always. Qet pooplo
through the Cow Crook canyon Into
the Rogue River valloy and tho cltlos
will take care of thoni themselves.
He deplored the fact thut tho clt
