Year after year attempt have been made to complete a league schedule In south ern Oregon but, until this year, at tempts were In vain.

That Is the report from all over the country. And especially Is It so here In southern Oregon, for the past few years, the poorest baseball territory In Oregon. The Southern Oregon league was lucky to hove old timers like BUI FortHr of Coqullle, Red Ruppert of Roseourg and Frlsoo Edwards of Klamath Palls to have teams en tered. These men have all been connected with baseball In Oregon for many yoars and they gave the necesuary stability to the league to keep it on Its feets and flnlah it schedule. Credit must also be given to Harold Halght of the Medford club.
