Tha Ashlanders warmed up before

but soon found the Prospect defense
was really something to worry about.
In both games, Ashland held a slight
lead throughout tha first half, but
failed to check the come-back of
tha Prospect lada In the second halt.
The Prospect seconds took tha first
game by a score of 17 to 15.

Tn-a close and hard-fought game.
two evenly matched teams, Medford
high and Klamath Falls high, battled
four quartera to a 18 to IB deolslon
In favor of the Klamathltea. The
Tiger Cubs lost an exciting game to
the St. Mnry's AHStars, 33 to 21
From the opening whistle until
the final gun It was anyone'a game.
From the standpoint of defense tha
Tigers held the edge, but Klamath
hit the basket just at the critical
moment. Inability of Medford to
throw fouls waa costly.
In the third quarter the Tigers
came from behind a lead of 9 to B.
sustained by the -Pellcana and kept
shooting at the basket. Thev con
nected with two ringers and tied the
score. Klamath broke Into tha lead
by converting a free throw and the
sinking of the ball In tha hoop for
two polnta more.
With two minutes left In the game.
Cant. Harris for Medford twisted him
self In a position to score and place
Medford on tha long end of a 15 to 14
scora and .what looked like victory for
Medford.
This seemed to be the climax of
the game for the Medford rooters
came to their feet In a howling mass.
It looked an . though victory was
thrown at tha door of Medford. But
after the exchange of a few pauses,
tha big Pelican swooped down on the
Tigers and snatched victory from that
doorstep. The Pelicans name was
Kglhoff, who was able to gain seven
points and high point honors. Harris
for Medford was the other high point
man of the game with six.

From the manner In which a lignt

CHICAGO, Feb. 17. (AP) Father
Time finally drove Red Faoer out
of the pitcher's box today.
The 45-year old pitcher, last of
the surviving spit hall hurlera in
the American League, announced hla
retirement from baseball after play
ing 20 consecutive years with the
Chicago White Sox..
During tha long baseball trail, ea-
peclally aa the yeara crept upon him
and aging lege creaked under him,
Faber retired under fire, Dut tne
times were proportionately few In the
669 major league games In which
he pitched and he always came back
for mora, usually to rise to the
heights again.
Thla time, .however, there will be
no more. If he haa any plana for the
future he failed to disclose them. He
had hoped for a coaching Job when
his pitching chores-were finished, but
so far there apparently la none for
.him. Like Eppa Rlxey. another old
timer whose retirement after 21 1
yeara or major league wanare pre
ceded Faber's by Just a day, he said
the dally grind had "gotten too
tough" for him.
In the 20 yeara 8pent with the
Whits Sox, Faber won 252 games and
lost 210. He pitched in one world
serlea. 1917, almost single handedly
winning the world'a championship
for toe White Sox that year by beat
ing tha New York Olants three tlmea
in nine dava.
Faber's professional baseball career local folk he will be here tomorrow
dates back to 1909 which waa long for a public workout in tne staoiam
before some of the present white where the match will take place.
