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.

EYE BREAD PRICE
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. (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.

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

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,

BOYS EAGER FOR

Rivalry between small town base

haa been a venomous competition be
tween Oold HtU'a nine and the horse

promisee to amount to something.
Oold Bill, to date, haa won all It

the Jacksonville Miners, and now

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

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
