It is a "Dave Bancroft" bat. and the last time Walter used it was when the Owen-Oregon company had a baseball team. Before that he used the stick when a member of Court Hall's teams In 1910, and many a hit It has rap ped orr the fences of the old Holly street grounds. Antle has the mate to the bat be sent to Portland. He Is still a baseball enthusiast, though his legs are now a trifle stiff for playing now. Antle 'a letter to ihe sporting editor of the Oregonlan reads: "Have Just finished reading your Interesting article In regard to old baseball bats, and was reminded that I had one that was new in 1913 or 13. After looking It up. I find It In very usable condition. "I used this bat in Med ford, back in the days when Ken Williams vas playing semi-pro ball, so you see its quite old, "Will you see that this bat gets to Meyer Chozen, the youthful Portland shortstop? I think he can use it to advantage. He and I seem to be of a size, and I think that with the help of the real wood In this old timer oe can bring that .225 batting average up 50 or 60 points, where it should be. "I am sending you th) bat by par cel post, and would like to hear at oine xin.fs oi tnozen rot, any niw out of it. There are still lot. of 'em there. I The bat has hed quite i rest, having been last used tn 1015."

For P.Treptlonal KODAK PICTURES Ma'.l yunr Films to SWEM'S Medford Dick Applegate Returns From Frolic Thru Europe To the Editor: For the first time in my life, but I hope not the last, I've experienced the thrill of coming into New York har bor from across the pond. What I'm trying to get at. Is that I've Just gotten back from a trip to Europe, and I'll bet money no one ever made the trip more rapidly than I did. We frolicked (good word, frolicked : picked that up from John Reddy) thru France like the Colvigs used to thru stop streets, but we got our money's worth. We left New York on the 23rd of June, and sailed for Havre, France, which, paradoxically or otherwise Is pronounced by the Frogs as tho it were spelled H-a-r--e. getting In after a wild ride of seven days. The old tub we were on, the "Osprey." went thru some of the most alarming gyrations, without sinking, that any sea-going vessel ever ac complished and as the captain of the old Junk remarked "If there's anything IN a man, this will bring it out." I upheld the traditions of the first-timer nobly. As I started to say, after docking at Havre, we climbed aboard a very small, and very nonchalant-abeut- gettlng-any where choo-choo, and bounced to gay Paree, which city had the difficult task of looking gay at four o'clock In the morning I At that, It did as well as could be .expected, and the Elfel tower, which is a rather rusty looking piece of radio mast without any mate, lived up to ex pectations. Fred and I both, of course, had to partake of some champagne next day (and why not? There's no prohibition on champagne there, unless It the very effective one of price!) Anyway, the stuff is full of bubbles, which arc hard to get hold of with ones normal , , , . jinking apparatus nasl? from the fascination and thrill of a new experience, and the delightful feeling of being risque, and not a little feel ing of daring, I think I prefer Med- ford's million dollar water. We wandered around the city In a daze, visiting, as a matter of course, the Louvre, and all the available ca thedrals, and about 3 p. m. if you want a lot of fun seme time, Just try to find out what time of day it is when you're tn Paris. First you pick out some Cosmopolitan looking individual, and ask him, In very bad French, what time It is, and he, gen erous soul, and anxious to show you what excellent French he speaks they all knew we spoke English, thru some mysterious faculty of their own Immediately launches a cascade of explosive words, whirling arms, and spray of what cigars are not sup posed to be tipped with. French Is a good language, but I find that darn few Frenchmen, can speak It. Assul (pretty nifty, my way of dropping into French, as we continental trav elers do, isn't it?), the only person whom we met, who failed In the above mentioned test, was a fellow In the railroad travel bureau, who was ad vertlsed as an English -French ling uist, and from all Fred and I could tell, ho answered our queries In very rapid Arabic, or something. I believe I started to mention that at about three o'clock In the after noon, we tore ourselves away from Paris, and started, on that exciting little train, back to Havre, and our boat, which we found making every effort to go on to London, or back to London, If you want to quibble about geography with us. We soon put a stop to that, and after a very short and very un-exc. ving trip, we dropped 25,000 1703 Cash Prizes for the best descriptions of a Plymouth Floating Power Ride lltOpportum I 1 to get your share ot this money 1 I ... i0 I 1 i p" ' JOO I I 2nd pri ' jjo 1 1 jrd prize . 0 1 1 ioo P"f 5000 l 200 P""f " j,ooO 1 joo proesor $10 I 1010 pritt of ' I I , iJ5,xx I 170J P"" 1 n- 'BrJN"' 1 In on London, which. If It wants to lay claim to being the largest city In the world Is going to have to build some big buildings. At least if I'm going to be one of the referees, which I'm not. London la the third city I've found with sub-ways, New York and Philadelphia being the other two. Chicago has them, too, I'm told, but haven't found Chicago yet. Which reminds us, mustn't Champlaln, or Marquette and Julllette, or whoever did find Chicago, have been surprised whe he. or they, or whoever it was. saw those subways? or have you heard that one before? We were In London for fourteen hours, and talked to Ramsay Mac Donald. Oh, Indeed we did. He drove up Rotten Row, which now that I think of it, Is a rotten name for street, and everyone took off their hats, and yelled hurrah that Is ev eryone but Fred and I, whose hats were In Medford, Oregon, and New York City, so HOW COULD we take them off? So, Just to show that we Americans were good sports, and could forget all about war debts, and every thing, on occasion, we stopped and talked to Mac. Maybe he DIDNT ans wer us, or maybe he didn't even hear rs, but I challenge any one to a duel with snow balls at tho south-pole. who says we didn't yell, at the top of our young (not so young either. I'm twenty now, and you know It, or If you don't, I'm telling you now) lungs, "Hl-a-thereMacr And Judging from the black looks of the entire populace of London at this piece of Yankee Impudence, we decided that perhaps we would be better off in Ireland, and being strengthened In this conviction by the fact that our boat sailed In about two hours, we went back to the dock, and set sail for Dublin. It didn't take long at all to get around to Dublin. Really, we were surprised at the contemptible way our geography has tresed us. Where as, It always seemed thousands of miles from France to England, and the same goes from England to Ire land, tt really Is only a trip of a few hours. In fact, when we first saw the English channel, we wondered what all the excitement was about when some one swam the dinky little thing. To let you in on a little private con viction, I think I could JUMP the measley Uttle thing. Well, maybe it would take two Jumps, but If I was In condition . We got In on the tall end of the Eucharlstlc congress. Gosh, what mob I That was one way of seeing a bishop without going thru all the formality of getting an introduction. Dublin is a rambling old town, and tremendously interesting. I got a let ter from mom last nlte after we'd docked here in New York, telling me that Father Powers, who used to oe in Medford was there. That would have been fun, seeing someone from home, so far away from home. The nearest thing I saw to someone from home, was an old Model T Ford In Havre, with a pear box for a seat, and on the pear box, In big blue let ters, was "MEDFORD." Gee, I wish I had a camera. About two and one-half days In Ireland, and the Osprey began to show signs of uneasiness, so back aboard we went, and the next thing we knew, we were staring the statue of liberty In the fact again. I made the entire trip under the name of Bob DePue, because my birth certi ficate, which I had sent for, but which hadn't arrived, had to be sub CLOSES JULY S3S CONTEST Tinmrj (till time for ycra to enter the 125,000 Plymouth Floating Power Ride Contest. , But hurry If you want to win one of these rich cash prizes.
