DANCE TONIGHT Oriental Gardens Ray Jacobs, Hollywood first base man, leads the coast league In home runs. (Associated Presa Photo) RUTH REFUTES OLD AGE HINTS BY FAST PACE By ALAN GOULD On the day Babe Ruth blasted hi first home run Into the right field bleachers I happened to have a brief, monolyllaballc chat with the great man as he sat, swathed heavily and chewing vigorously, In the Yankee dugout. The stenographic report ran something like this: How was he feeling? "O, K. kid, except for this throat. Still sore." No doubt this would come around. "Yeah, need some warm weather, (though. Too blank ty cold for base ball." How did things look In general, so far. "O.' K." Did the new A's Impress him? "Not so hot. Still a breeze for us." Everything was quite an right, then? "O. K., kid. See yuh later. The gazelle-like maneuvers of the Babe at the outset of the campaign have brought discomfiture to the camp correspondents who harped steadily on Ruth's shortcomings afield and on the bases. They said he waa anchored In right field, so he promptly started out to cover more territory than he haa handled in a couple of years, galloping up and down the bank In front of the bleachers and snagging every hit that came his way. He naved Gomez's great victory over Earn shaw with a bare-handed catch. They hinted he would need admin istration support to negotiate the bases, so he sttrtled one and all by stealing second base against the Aathletlcs one Sunday afternoon. ftiayoe .ne can't keep up this oace but the Babe no doubt Is having a lot of fun, meanwhile, langhlng at the boya. . Ruth will draw the customers and do his share, barring accidents, but Lou Gehrig will do most of -the heavy hauling for the world cham pions this scaAon. Going on his ninth consecutive year without missing a single ball game, Gehrig Is one of the marvels of the game. He started his streak in 1936 and only needs about 100 more games to top Everett Scott's all-time record of 1307 gamea played In succession. The wear and tear of such in iron-man perform ance seems not to have affected Col umbia Lou in the slightest. He doesn't have aa much worry about his weigh as Ruth. His mode of living and temperament favor a long playing career. He Is hitting the ball harder than ever and al ready off to a better start than usual in the home run derby, in short, It lookat like a big year fori the big eel-eater of New Rochelle. j 1 BASEBALL Yesterday's Results Coat League.

IN PRACTICE TILT Locals Have Field Day at Bat With .19 Bingles Williams, Caldwell Shine As Mound Substitutes Making their Initial appearance at the fair grounds, the Medford Rogues yesterday defeated the Jack sonville Miners by the lopsided score of 31 to 2. No mates, ' It was not a football game, but a baseball game, and thoroughly convinced local fans that we have a ball team this year which, without a doubt, will give any teams in the etate a run for their money. Heavy Hitting The game was marked by heavy hitting on the part of the Rogues, who hit two Jacksonville pitchers. Coffman and Mclntyre for a total of 10 safe blows. With the exception of Lange, every member of the Roguea got at least one or more hits. Coy, catcher, led the attack with 4 hits.

As basis for their claim. Grants Pass stresses the fact that they beat Eagle Point two out of three games and that the Oheesemakers were the only out standing opposition. Evidently the boys from the Psas overlooked the fact that Medford has played Eagle Point on three occasions, winning all three gamea acore 4 to 3, 6 to 4, and 4 to 1, , As a matter of fact, states Manager Halght, "It's the first time that I ever heard of a team winning or claiming a championship In May. As a rule, those matters are settled along in August and September, most teams hardly even starting be fore Hay. Haa the Grants Pass man agement overlooked the fact that Klamath Falls. Coqullle, Medford and even Oold Hill have baseball teams. anyone or which would be very like ly to take the "would be champions' into camp." 4 CHARGE IS FILED Allen McClanahan, 30, waa arrested last night charged with reckless driv ing, as the result of an auto crash at Fifth street and Central avenue last night.
