"And we expert to Htlck Ibere," addH Jillly Kvouh, veteran umpire, the general manager, patting 1'eck on tho back. "And you can count on It," con cluded Alva Iliad ley, millionaire president of tho club, patting both) Peek and Uvans on the back. The opening victory of the 1 11 dlnnK over the mlght VaukecH with fleorgo Thle oiitpilehtng Herb l'enuock and breaking the bitter's winning streak, probably will do the morale of the club more good than nnylblng that Ihim happened no far. The team spirit under I'ecklnpuiili has been high any way, but It will be higher. The Indiana have been more or Ichh poison nn a whole to the Yanks over -the past few season! and Thin has been particularly ho individuully. Thes veteran pitcher haa loHt only one. game to the New Yorker In the past two yean and his latest In tho ninth In that pe riod over them. The Indian nearly knocked the Yankeea out of the punnaiit In IKUfi with a late Heason fluitriHli.

"It's loo early lo make any pre dictions utul it would be foolish for me or anyone else to predict wo will heat the Yankees or tluil anyone else can heat them," says I'eelc. "The champions haven't got the pitching they hail hist year but they still have that old wallop and that wills a lot of ball games. "Wo will make it Interesting, es pecially if our pitching continues to be ns good as It lias been so far. I'hle hits never been in bet ter shape. I'm giving him four days usually between gninen.

Curl I.lnd, the .New Orleans boy, in going great at second base. He Is a beautiful fielder. Hoilupp at third base Is hitting his stride. We lost Kdtllo Morgan, the greal young outfielder from New Orleans, the first day, but l.angford went tn center and has done ho well I can't take lilm out.

T'nlesa five johs are furnished for hall players at on early ilate, the 'bottom will drop out of th-i Medrord ball team of the OroKon ( allfornia leattue with a dull and sickening thud, according to Man aner Court Hall, who is makin,-; an appeal for all itood citizens to come to the aid of their ball team. The ball players need the work, so they can buy something to bite on be tween games and thus subsist until the end of the season wncn the profits, if any, are divided. They are as good workers as they are players. .Manager Hall says he has several promises, but that there is no1 nourishment, to speak of, in a promise. He wants to have his squad employed before the season starts, .May 20. The game next Sunday with the i Weed team will be a test of strength for the Merchants and it should be a 'ood ball game. The Weed team has a number of St. Mary's college players in their line- i up. and they have been organized about as long as the Medtord team, with several practice games upder their belts. Michols will pitch for the locals. For the official league opening a I week from Sunday, it is planned to nave the Mayors of Ashland, Grants Pass and this city, pitch, cat,ch, and hit the first ball. APPLE PROSPECTS !N BY PORTLAND, Ore., May 0. (ZP) Apple orchards are now in full bloom under very favorable condi tions with a good crop in prospect, says tlie weekly Oregon crop re- iPort.

French prunes fared bet ter, tho latest reports indicating a I normul amount of fruit in some of , tho southern counties and about j one-third of the normul amount In Ihe northern counties. I Cherries and pears In tlie Wi llamette valley are also setting a crop (hat is below normal, due to Ihe wet spring.

The'ract that Mr. Coleman was not bitten by the exasperated fish, he thinks, is due to his prompt athletic movements and terror shrieks, as well us the fact that liiB shirt was made of heavy, strong material. However, there was a little tear in tho shirt ppeket, but this may have been caused by a mosquito bite. He was fishing with a March Hrown fly at the time and the scene was close to the Vonreliellen camp near Cold Hill. REPORT FIRST FIRE IN THE SSSKIYOUSi YRKKA, Oil..
