Kramer "Bud" Deuel, Ralph Bailey, Alvln Tollefson and H G. Wilson, a quartet of veterans Tare all out of town and will not enter the meet leaving the de fense of southern Oregon titles fathered last year to a new coterie of players composed of younger Jclub players and high school net men. : Local fans are honing for the .comeback of former stnrs and .upsets on the part of youthful iocal players if the titles are to re. main In southern Oregon. , .Depletion in the ranks of local players make more acute the titu lar danger caused when the entry .blanks of several prominent up state racqueteers. . were .received. , .

The Ballnntynes will be accompa nied by Jack Glacier, Mrs. Hnl--lantyne and Miss Gcrtsan, the lat ter two who will peek the women's 'title.

So Rex Beach wrote about the strangest marriage he had ever heard and he called it "White Shoulder." The picture is now playing at the Moiiy theatre, with a cast composed ..of- Mury Astor, .Jack Holi, and Ricnrrio Cortes. The short subject program showing with the feature picture consists of a Patho .News Reel of many interesting events and hap penings from ,all over the world, and the fifth of the "How I Play Golf" -reels featuring -thej golf champion Bobby Jones. It is an other lesson in golf presented- In an entcrtnining manner and the reel Is entitled, "Tho Medium Irons." "Three Lost Girls-' at Fox Rialto Bubbling over with very human realism is "Three Girls Lost," fea turing Loretta Young, John Wayne and Lew Cody, now playing at the Fox Rialto theater until Thursday. The story deals with the triple adventures of three country girls who arrive simultaneously in Chi cago to stH'k fortune and romance. Some of tho fortune Us good and some, bud; romances of various kinds come to each of the three gjrls. and through a deft weaving of plot the interest Is steadily raided throughout, , pamted and a soft.

"A Free Soul" Wins Craterian Audience Audiences have seen N or m a Shearer as a glittering society Imd; they have eeen her as a brilliant sophisticate. But In "A Free Soul" In which she plays tho sensational heroine of the Adole Rogers St. John, novel, audiences &ee a liter ally new Norma Shearer. . . In. the new picture today and "Wednesday at tho Fox Craterian theater, she is fully as alluring as in "Tho Divorcee," as charmingly sophisticated In "Strangers May Kiss," but thero is added a new element. For never in her career has she played such a dramatic role as In this romnnce of San Franclflco. its gambling halls, Its underworld and Its palaces of the social elect. Communications lit Knows IIIh Sowagc. To the Editor: ' Are the sportsmen of southern Oregon trying to boost Medfdrds proposod $235,000 bond h-vuo? : At, their banquet held in this city Thursday night, one member, a resi dent of Grants Pass, la reported to nave sniu: 1 can unhurt' ynu mm Medford will ;recelvo trro gratiflca tion of every sportsman of Oregon if the new sewage disposal plant Ic Installed. " . This observation may have been a mere Incident and entirely do void to propaganda, but it gave the editor of one of our local pa pers a theme for a leading editorial which, among other things, said: "Hut, as was brought out at the sportsmen's banquet here las,t night. It does little good to stock the river and ' protect . it, if the pro;cnt practice of polluting the stream with sewage is allowed to go on. Game fish can't live In n polluted stream . . , At tho present time Medford is pouring its sewage through Bear creeV Into tho Rogue river, and Grants Pass 1s drinking it.- i All other considerations aside, it noem.-t to us that this injustice to a neighboring cHy should bo sufficient to make tho verdict for a local sewage disposal plant ummi-' nious." v f .- . ; i . Sinee the people -of Grnnts Pa.-w-l Lhrive-on Rogue river water, It is hardly reasonable that it contains! I enouch i-owago -t-o kill the f!h. I 1 lOach spring, before tho water vol ume recedes, there are thousands of trout even in Rear oreek. . And suppose the sewago of Med ford' were entirely eliminated, Hear creek still would carry the sewnge of As h ! a n d , Ta Ion t , P h oe n I x n d Central Point, not to mention the drainage from the many farm house and burns along Its banks. Are the fish killed In the Columbia river because of the affluence- of tho Willamette river, which carrier the sewage of Hugono, Snleni, Port land, and scores of smaller -towns? Thousands of people make a living by taking fish from tho Columbia and Willamette rivers, despite- their contamination. The fish industry on tho Mississippi river is not in conp'iderable, and New Orleans drinks water from this stream, al though It carries in solution the sewage and drainage of .n- thousand citlrH, including such w Mt-mphls, St. LoufH, Louisville, Cincinnati and' MlnneapoliH Chicago hns for near-iy-'i'C-entury ttvkn tier water soi ply from Lake Michigan and drain ed nil fewngo in the cnme inke. These conditions are not plnn- ant to contemplate, but they should teach us not to get so suddenly squeamish as to vote $235,000 un der the present showing. Some of our best engineers nnd contractors ajrwrt that half of this sum Is amply sufficient to sewer this city. Including tho best dteffosal plant. ..d's all vote NO on these bonds and get together with tho city council and devise a better and cheaper plan. The old adage Is still true: ''Wilful waste makes woeful want. Our taxes are nl ready too high to justify tho wane of any more money. This Grants Pass "sportsman." who is seemingly so concerned about injury to giime fish by Med ford sewage was for a long time n member of tho stato game and fish commission. Why hnfc he for year sat supinely by and nllowcd the destruction of millions of game fish nt the Savage Rapids and Oold Ray dams? A small oxnendlr turc- from tho big Jackpot made up from tho millions of dol)uiv wo havo all contributed in game and fish licenses would have built safe fish-ways over these dams, and the upper Rogue would bo alive with steelhend and salmon. These fine game fish are still butting them selves to death In an effort to get over these dam It comes with poor grace from this or any other "sportsman to talk about Medford sewage under these conditions.
