Hal Haight Slated for Med

Word Four-Team Circuit
Ideal for Local Area
- (By Bill? Hulen)
With the coming of warm weather
and the ending of a tangled, up bas
ketball aeason, sport fans and ath
letes alike of Medford and vicinity are
siasm k DHwnBiii
Already, some talk hae been heard
around Medford for the formation of
a Southern Oregon league, while
players have been loosening up their
arma and aharpenlng their batting
, yes for the paat month. .
Whether there la a league formed
thla year or not, It la practically a
cinch that Medford win nave a team
In the field.
Ilalsht to Head Bogues.
Hal Haight, manager of last year's
Medford Koguea, who finished rourm
In the Southern Oregon league laat
year, will probably be at the helm
again thla summer. Haight, a hard
hitting, nice fielding shortstop, did
a fine job last year and, In case he
manages the Rogues this season, Mea
1 ford tana will be sure of having i
hustling-team on the field.
Medford haa the materia! to pro
duce a really fine team, one whlcn
would ask no odds from any semi
pro outfit In the state. Such playera

Lslmt. clarence and Harry Dunn.
' Prltchard, Lake, the Harrington boys,
Coleman. Christiansen and others,
would form tne nucleus 01 a powci-
, rul outfit. : .
League Ideal Setup.
So far aa fans and players alike are
concerned, the formation of a league
la by far the more attractive setup
than seeing and playing independent
ball.
: It Is better in every way. A Uiro
nlaylng Independently will lean to a
rather listless brand of ball and for
a good reason. Nothing is at etase,
there la no real incentive for winning,
la's more lust recreation with them.
But, tf they are playing league ball,
are trying to get to the top. are really
In there playing to win In order to
better their percentage, it manes mr
a better game to both player ana fan.
. Time to Orgonlae.
Now, thanka to the excellent wea
ther, la undoubtedly the proper time
to start organising a league If one Is
to be formed. . Starting early, a longer
season can naturally be had, giving
plenty of time for baseball Interest
to rise to the point It should.
-As to a league setup, the Ideal
would be, Medford. Grants Pass, Ash
land and , Klamath Palls, as those
(towns are renlly the only largest
wnlch could support a league team
within a fairly small area. .
However, that la practically Impos
sible aa Ashland cannot play Sunday
ball within the city limits and Oranta
Paw seems to prefer independent,
playing on their home field every Sun.
day against clubs from Portland and
the northern part of the atate.
Last yesr Medford tied up with
Ashlsnd, Klamath Palls, Esgle Point.
Coqullle and noseburg to form the
southern Oregon circuit, which : Co
qullle won.
Four-null league Best.
Perhaps trie best bet this cummer.
for a four-club lesgue anyway, would
be Medford. Roseburg, a smaller place
such as Talent. Eagle Point or Jack
sonville and Oranta Pass, providing
of course -that Oranta Pass would
agree to enter. Hilt Is also a possl
blllty, being a red hot bsseball town.
The same goes for Crescent City.
Coqullle Is really too long a Jump
for valley teams and vice versa, while
Klamath Falls, without Frisco Ed
wards, who has returned to Salem,
la atlll very unsettled as to a Pelican
team.
However things go, whether
league Is formed or not, Medford fans
ran be sure that they will not go
wimout ineir onseDau wis summer.
BOWLING
City League.
Standard Oil bowlers took a fall
out of the Bowman Barbers last night
In their City league match, winning
two out of three from the tonsorlal

A copy of the answering brief of
the atate of Oregon In the appeal of
L. A. Banks, former local agitator.
serving life In state prison tor second
degree murder conviction, was receiv
ed today. It was filed with the
state supreme court last Saturday,
and the appeal la now In the hands
of that Judiciary body. The state
brief was prepared by L. A. LUJeqvlst,
special attorney general; District At
torney George A. Codding and Deputy
pistrict Attorney George w. Nellson.
Attorney FrankJ. Lonergan of Port
land, now a candidate for governor,
and Charles A. Hardy of Eugene ap
pear aa counsel . for Banks.
Tomorrow Is the first anniversary
of the slaying that brought a tragic
cumax to the Banks-Fehl Inspired
turmoil In this county.
Refutes Error Claim
. The answering brief cites the law
extensively to refute the eleven de
fense claims of errors by the court,
and holds that the Instructions of
the court were "fair, Impartial and
thorough In all respects.'
- Numerous cltatlona are filed to
support the action of the court In
refusing to allow the defense alien
ist to give hla view on whether or
not Banks was insane at the time
Of the actual firing of the fatal shot,
but in hie right mind immediately
before and after. The defense held
that Banks suffered from "transitory
mania." The state holds this was
"Invasion of the realm on conjec
ture." The defense contention that ' As
sistant Attorney General Ralph E.
Moody was guilty of misconduct dur
ing his, closing arguments by refer
ring . to Banks "as a coward hiding
behind tho skirts of his wife, and a
supreme egotist, with never a
thought of his fellow ' men," is held
legitimate argument and that under
the law and opinions cited "those
who commit murder cannot be
aqueamish ss to the 'characterization
of their crime."' Quotations are made i
from Banks' testimony on his own
sanity to show "he was an egotist." i
iso Persecution, Is Claim
The defense claim that Banks was
a. victim of 'persecution" and "over- !
whelmed with civil suits" Is viewed i
as a straw and "the records show the :
civil suits were to. money due and j
owing under legal obligations Incur- i
red."
Introduction by the atate of a .38
caliber gun found In the Banks home
after the killing, and held by the
defense to he "prejudicial," Is con
tended by the state to ba , "Imma
terial." "The fact ,the gun was found
In the house Indicates possession,
and naturally brings a denial of own
ership." The evidence supports the
state contention "the Banks home
was a veritable arsenal," the brief
savs.
The brief sets forth that Bank,
waa Indicted - for criminal libel and
criminal syndicalism "by a grand
Jury that was friendly to him." and
cites the Banks editorial wherein he
referred to the .lain officer as a
"bondlt." .
Defense allegation, of "misconduct
of bailiffs" is met with the fixed
rule of Jaw, "no Juror can make an
affidavit to aet aside his own ver
dict."
Case History Given
In a brief Tjlstory of the case the
answer says: "Bank, was honorary
president of the Good Government
Congress, a small group of misled peo
ple some but youths, and otnera
experienced men of radical tenden
cies. Revolution was advocated by
Banks.' 'the document sets forth.
It is forecast that a decision on
Wie appead may possibly be reached
by May 21, when the blgh court holds
Its eastern Oregon term, or by mid
summer at the latest.
