Eugene Fails to Comply
With Rules in Proving
Eligibility . of Players
Wild Game Ends, 16-12
The Med ford American Legion
Junior team was defeated by the
Eugene Juniors Vesterday at Ku
gene 16 to 12. The locals protested
the game before, during, and after
the contest. Three players wero
protested whose ages are a matter
of dispute.
One of the protested players Is
101 ton Owens, son of Herb Owen,
who hus promoted many fight and
wrestling bouts here. Elton It fair
ly well known locally and accord
Ing to local acquaintances is be
yond the age limit, .'He plays third
base.
Hpeck Keeno, coach of the Wll
lamotte University, high mogul of
the stale banket bull meet, and
chairman of the legion baseball
committee rendered a decision that
Owens was eligible, unlens the val
ley team can produce a birth cer
tificate "proving otherwiHe." Mis
father offered to post a bond, that
his mn was eligible.
MlHiiuiiuigcil Affair
; According to atl reports, the
gnme was a sadly mismanaged nf
fair, and was quite argumentative.
It was agreed several days before
the game, that the Hugene man
agement would have either a birth
certificate, baptismal certificate,
school record, for all their players
before the game. These were forth
coming for all hut the thlrdbase-
man, the catcher, and an outfielder.
Medford agreed to play the game
under protect.
Claude Miles of this city, and t
man by the name of Dutton of Eu
gene started the umpiring, and In
the third Inning, when Dutton call-
ed a Medford runner out nt the
plate, when he was ten feet from
that objective, with the ball still
at second base, the locals refused
to play with Mr. Dutton as an ur-
biter. Klnnjly WllHam Hlnohart
of tho University of Oregon conch -
Ing staff assumed the duties, arid
Hpeck Keeno took Ml lea' place.
Many .Errors Made
Tho game then proceeded and
was a woozy affair, Eugene making
nix error, and Medford seven.
Medford got 17 hits nnd Eugene 16.
Hath teumn umd three pitchers and
all were hit hard.
Tho Medford team Intends to
carry the protest to the legion com
mittee nnd Insist that tho Eugene
catcher, thlrdbaseman and an out

ibility.
The arguments were tho main
features of the contest and the ora
