Tho responso from tho merchants, lodges, school)!, Indies nnd others has been most encouraging nnd tho com mitten states thoro wilt nppear not lcffl than twonty-tlvo handsome floats gorgeously electric lighted nnd em hlcmatlc of tho Interests represented while practically all tho lodges will ho represented In various ways In competition for tho many cash and special prizes offered. Tho ladles riding club and tho Greater Medford club u ro vlolng with each other In tho excellence of their appearance and tho commltteo states thnt these two organisations nlono will occupy several blocks In tho parade.

Many beautifully decorated single and doublo driving horses and bug glos havo entered tho competition for tho prizes and tho auto section promises to mako a showing large enough to mako a parado In Itself, It now appears that tho committee should havo arranged for a longer courso on Main street to proporly display tho many features that will appear, and It may yet bo found nec essary to extond the wires for light ing tho floats a number of blocks further.

According to the conditions agreed upon Whistler Is to play thd victori ous team of last Monday's contest with five men. The game Is for fifty dollars n side, tho money hav ing nlrcady been posted. Tho pro ceeds gu to tho Fourth ot July com mittee. Whistler's Leans, as made up at present are: Leland Uevcrago, pitch; Whistler, catch; Mate Hyden, 1 b.; A. C. Rurgess, 2 li.; Summer vllle. 3 b. Tho Fats will probably lino up with Kelly and Hicham pitching, and at shert: Fabrlck, catch; C. K. Gate.-, 3 b.; II. C. Kentner, 1 b.; John Sher idan, 2 b.; City Attorney McCabc. I. f.; John Westerlund, c. f., nnd Mayor Eltert In right field. Tho Leans under Whistler, who Is an old-tlmo Chicago Whlto Sox, are working out every evening and get ting in tho best possible trim for the encounter, which is scheduled to go the full nlno Inning marathon rotite. Tho Fnts are taking things easy, on the old raco horso theory that It doesn't pay to score a grass horse too often, nnd they nlso rely on their heavyweight pitching staff to can them through without much work In the field. They argue that the Whis tler lineup should eschew baseball practice for relay foot raco training and declare that before tho mate has gono five Innings it will tnko flvo water boys to appease the lolling tongucd thirst of the Whlstlcrltcs. Kelly, who has been limbering up his casting arm for tho first period on tho mound for tho Fats, recom mends that a full hospital corps bo in attendance, as his smoko ball is not under very good control and thoro Itj a largo possibility of bcanlng n majority ot tho thin "men. Tho prospect Is for fair weather: fast ground" and the largest attend ance of the season. Owney Patton and Rudy Schulz will umpire. PICKS BUD AS LIKELY WINNER O'ERLEACHCROSS lly Court Hull. On July tho -HI' nt 3:00 p. m. Hud Anderson will meet Lmcli Oros nl (he Vernon nreun. Cross i one of the foremott lightweights Known to pugdom nt the present time. There nro now four WihtvMi;hts that the finis ore particularly interested in: It it chic vs. Joe Rivers nud Hud An dctou vs. Lenoh Cross. The win ner of thee two bouts will no doubt meet on I.nhor Day. Here in Medford tho Anderson Cross fight will tuke precedent over the Riicliio-Kivers affair, elowhere the championship fight will suhtrnct interest from tho Anderson-Cross fight, excepting possibly in Portland ami Vancouver. Hud is up ngniust n hoy this time who is both clover nnd tough. Cross is nlso some 'nfighter, nud knows the .mime from A to Z. Hut for nil that Hud will briiiR home the bacon, nnd there mmi he n nwou why I think so. In t'.io first place I cannot get over tho thought thnt K. O. Hrown was a tough customer to 'tent. One who fights nil the way, nnd nlwnys milking it mighty interesting for his oxiueut. Second Mnndot is one of the cleverest boys, in the lightweight devfcinn, yet he wns the easiest kind of game for Hud. Mnndot simply could not stand Hud's terrific in fighting. Hud in meeting Hrown nud Mnndot went against two direct op Myites in the fistic game, nud proved to the "world thnt he wns there either against n tough or n clever fighter. Cross is n combination of the two, but Hud is n lnrger combination. As he jx)ssesses n sleep producing punch in either hand. Cross is n good infighlcr, but Hud is better. In fact, no lightweight in the world compares with Hud nt that style of fighting. Hud's enormous strength nud jvowerful short nrm punches soon weaken his oponents. Hud can fight the full twenty rounds nt n fast clip while Cross will begin to tire in twelve rounds, if the puce is warm. I think Hud will win in six teen rounds nt the longest, with a good chnuei! to win before the tenth. From Hud's first fight in Medford up to the present time flOO pnr liiyrd on each of Ills fight would hnvn amounted to . 122,100.01). Not n bad investment for 1100.00. Jay Davidson of Ihn I.os Angeles llcrnhl couldn't uuderslnnd why Nolan for the first time in his career ns mnnnger, conceded weight to nny one. The reason is cnily explained. If N'olnu had not matched Ritchie with Rivers, Hilchlo -ould have been forced to meet Anderson, which No Inn wished lo nvnid. Dick Donald wns assured Hint Hud would he Rit chie's opponent July the -llli, if Rit chie nud Rivers failed lo agree on terms. Nolan knowing Ritchie's weakness ns nu in fighter, did not want nny of Hud's game, for Hud would have torn Ritchie to pieces in six rounds nt infighting. As to the ehumpioimhlp nffair lie tween Rivers nnd Ritchie it is a hnrd thing to pick the winner. Ritchie is a hard hoy to get n line on, owing to tun few twenty-round fights ho hns been in. There niy funs who think Ritchie is in u class by himself, while many others think any good light weight cun whip him. Ritchie hns not knocked nuyniie out in his fights, nnd wns n badly punished hoy when he won the championship from Wo gnst on a foul. Rivers has meet nil the toughest ones mid is known to have n good punch, and glur- u good account of himself In nil of his fights. I look for tho fight lo go the full twenty rounds, nnd lake jour choice, hut put your money on Anderson when he meets the winner. prMMg"r jm i IV-LjWB I HlMVHIP'VwVsyH FOR SALE Choit-o building site with bountiful view of Mod ford nnd vnlloy. .Just oust of Mod ford city limits in bost rosidonoo soot ion of Mod ford.
