GOLD HILL FIRST , DEFEAT, 14 T0 1 Hal Halght's Medford Rogues dem onstrated their superiority over other valley teams by bumbling the highly touted, previously undefeated Oold Hill team by the overwhelming score of 1"4 to 1, at the fairgrounds yester day. Victory over the Cement Makers and previous victories over Coqullle, Klamath Palls and Roseburg have stamped the Rogues as not only the outstanding team In Southern Ore gon, but probably one of the strongest teams In the state. Every member of the team, as In the game last week against Klamath Falls, secured at least one safe hit. A total of 18 blngles were made off the delivery of Kell and Hammersly, Oold Hill's star . chuckers, which Included two-base hits by Harrington, Swanson and Halght, a three-bagger by Mc Lean and home runs by Broun and McLean. George Harrington and Virgil Bwanson continued their heavy hit ting of last week, each connecting for three solid hits. McLean also hit safely three times. McLean was again In rare form and allowed the Oold Hllters but three safeties, striking out a total of 14 batters and Issuing four bases on balls. He held the opposition score less until the ninth inning when the bases were filled by two walks and an error by Swanson, and a passed ball by Joan Is allowed a runner -to cross the plate for the Hitlers' lone tally. Two were out at the time and on the next pitch Shaver was struck out to end the game. A near riot took place In the 7th Inning when Joan Is and Umpire Force came near blows, due to a dif ference In opinion of a called ball. Joanis, who had previously been hit twice by pitched balls, lost his temper and after allegedly being called a name by the umpire was all for at tempting to give him a beating. Peace was finally restored, however, and the game continued. Losing to the Rogues should not dishearten the Gold Hill boys at all, aa they have a snappy and well-balanced team and a fine aggregation of youngsters. Another year and these boys will be hard for any team to stop. The Medford team Journeys to Oold Hill next Sunday for a return game. Medford.

(AP) Dr. Fred C. Howe, consumers' counsel for the farm administration, said to day an investigation would be made in cities where the price of bread seemed out of line and where the price spread had Increased sharply In the last few months. Howe made his comment on the basis of a study by the farm admin istration which showed the price of bread In 18 representative cities had Increased 1.4 cents from February 15 to August 3. The study was based on the average cost of a pound loaf of white bread, 16 ounces making a pound. Dr. Howe said the Increased cost of , labor In the various cities had not' been fully determined and this might have had an effect In making the price spread higher In some towns.

American Legion Benefit Ladies Cordially Welcome Fishing Lines Hints for Those Who Angle in Southern Oregon Waters By Paul MlckeUon Associated Press Sport Writer. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 14. (AP j Perched on the national profes sional golf championship throne for the third time, Oene Sarazen grin ned one of bis wide victory smiles today and chuckled. "A washed up golfer, eh?" he mut tered as he scanned accounts of his par-breaking victory march which onded yesterday with a, fi and 4 con quest over the stout hearted Willie Goggln of San Francisco In the finals of the championship drive over the Blue Mound country club course. "No sir, not by a long ways. I'm just getting hot.' Sarazen's remarks were directed at his old pal of golf. Tommy Armour, who called him a "washed up" golfer In a blsat that preceded the 1933 championship tournament and ulti mately helped to make It one of the most successful ever staged. No man can win the professional championship without a brilliant golf game and a fighting heart, but Armour's remarks about Oene being a "washed up" golfer probably made Sarazen a champion once again. Stung to the quick by Tommy's re mark's, Sarazen suddenly make up his mind to compete In the cham pionship and then played his heart out to win against Ooggln, one of the best shot making strangers ever to enter the llnals. Cocksure again after winning his first championship of the year after he became one of the game's Immor tals by winning the British and American open championships in 1033, Sarazen today struck off for Toronto to compete in the Canadian open. Ooggln fought a great battle, but was just outclassed. Striking with a magic putter and spectacular Irons, Sarazen drew away In the afternoon after Ooggln had held him to a bare hole advantage In the morning and ended four under par for the day to gallop home with his conquest. Ooggln, cheered on by the gallery of 5000 who sent the tournament over the top financially, never head ed Sarazen yesterday. Professor Hubbard of Pacific uni versity. Forest Orove, who Is a ranger at Crater Lake national park this season, reported yesterday that while fishing in Crater lake la good at the present time, the exceptionally large fish are not such wonderful catches. He said that the bigger fish have been In the Jake for a long time, and generally are too old for food. He re lated a catch of Friday which Included a Oerman Brown approximately 14 Inches long, which the fishermen said was not good eating. Professor Hub bard requests fishermen to bring their catches to him at the informa tion building where he removes their stomachs. The large Oerman Brown had two minnows In it, he aald. State polios of the game division say that steelhead fishing Is best now at Oallco, below Qrant pass. With commercial fishermen striking at the mouth of the river, the nets are out, and the run of salmon and steelhead will not be disturbed. Phil Lowd. deputy sheriff, caught the limit of trout Sunday on the South Fork of Rogue river. Among the many fishermen on Rogue River Sunday were A. E. Kel logg, M. R, Hutton, Earl M. Chase and Miss M. Chase, E. L. Porter, R. B. Campbell, J, L. Dally, L. E. Cleven berg, J. H. McKlnsey, H. D. Haas, A. Walch, R. M. Wyatt, N. Dj Orisham. C. P. Thompson, George Handy, D. J. Vinson, R. H. Slngler, Sig Ash, Scott Hamilton, A. K. Owens and John Ross. Fine catches of perch, bass and silvers Ides are being made at Lake o' the Woods, E. E. Kelly reported today, having visited the resort Sunday, John Holmer reoort trmit. fifth. no good at Lake Prospect, with one catch last week including a trout 3 oz. less than 8 pounds.

J'VILLE BASEBALL BOYS EAGER FOR GOLD HILL'S VISIT Rivalry between small town base ball team la traditional, but there haa been a venomous competition be tween Oold HtU'a nine and the horse hide exponent from Jacksonville that promisee to amount to something. Oold Bill, to date, haa won all It game. Including those played with the Jacksonville Miners, and now think It Invented the game of base ball, say the defeated team. But Jacksonville ha. always been a bit vain herself and her aelf-prtde haa extended to baseballera, who believe they can hand Oold Hill a large par cel of bad luck. A a reault of feeling between the two towns. Jacksonville ha chal lenged Oold Hlllltea to come over for the Oold Rush Jubilee with their bate and best Intention, to receive one or the worst defeat ever presented any team. Although the Miners' were drubbed something terrible the laat : time they met the powerful Oold Till nine, they explain the Incident by telling how their four beat player showed up musing on that day which i no fib. "We're going to see that the full team Is on deck. however. If Oold Hill dare, to drop over August 19," aald Manager Beach yesterday, "we doubt seriously u they will risk spoiling their perfect record so far." "It will be the course of least re sistance for Oold Hill to bask com fortably In the warmth of put vic tories rather than to try to match the lineup Jacksonville now haa," ex plained Coach Punk Dunnlogton when apeaklng of the proposed game. "We don't think they are over-confident enough yet to come here for the Jubilee game, but well be waiting with nine Inning, of trouble for 'em If they do." Missing Couple Return Safely SEASIDE, Ore..
