By HERBERT W. RtRKF.R
(AasoclaWd Pim Sport Wrltr.)
If home-run figure for th flnt
aeren daya of tha major leagu a
son fumtah a trua barometer, then
injecttona of a little more "rabbit"
have neen made not only In the Na
tion1 league ball but the American
as well.
Although National league batamen
have shown the greateit percentage of
. alugglng improvement more than
300 per- eent awatamltns of the
American loop, aupnoaedly hitting at
the aame aphere they did a year ago,
already have clouted nearly 60 per
cent more homera than they did In
the eame period in 1933.
- .Git Increase fthown.
John Heydler'a bombardiers, who
could hit only nine homera in their
first 31 gamea last aeaaon, have bang'
ed out 38 in the aame number of
contest thte year, an Increase of 311
per cent. In the American league.
the figure for the first 30 games
showed 17 home runs In 1S33 and 37
this year, an Increase of SO per cent.
These figure serve to confirm
partly at least, the claims of several
American league batting atara, not
ably Babe Ruth, that the 1034 ball
la much livelier, ttatennent of the
manufacturer to the conrary not
withstanding. Figures Compared.
The figure by clubs, giving the
1934 home-run total first and that
for the corresponding period a year
ago second, follow:
National league: Chicago, 8 and 0:
New YorX, 8 and 3: Brooklyn, 8 and
1: Boston, 3 and 0: Philadelphia. 3

BASEBALL LEAGUE
ADDING OF TEAMS
Reorganisation attempts of the
Southern Oregon league, which ha
Included four teams, will come to
head Wednesday night at the Ash
land armory when representatives
from Yreka, Montague, Hilt, Weed
Sons of Italy and Weed city team
from California, and . Grants Pass,
Medford, Shaw Bertram, Klamath
Pelicans and Ewnuna Box Co. from
Oregon meet to draw up a new sched
ule and organise Into what will prob
ably be known as the Oregon-California
league. , j
Since the organisation of the
Southern Oregon league several weeks 1
ago. the above named California j
teams have signified their desire to
enter the circuit, as has the Ewauna
Box Co. team from Klamath Palls,
and, In order to give the baseball
fans of the valley mot variety In
their favorite sport, it was decided
by the original league teams to reor
Rnntm and add at least two and pna- 1
slbly four more clubs. ' !
At the present, ft powerful six-team '
league seems a certainty, with
crnnces fair that eight clubs will de
cide to put up a fight for the cham
pionship. According to the present Southern
Oregon league schedule, Grants Pass
Is slated to open the Medford season
here next Sunday against Hal
Height's Rogues,
However, If a new setup U agreed
to. Medford and Qriuite Pass may
have open dates next Sunday In order,
that the other league teams may 1
catch up. !
BaMbai; In Medford has been pre-'
ty dend for a long time. Due mainly
to the efforts of Manager Hatght and
loyal buMneM men, It started upward
lust year but It has been a hard pull
and It wilt be harder stilt until tha 1
time when enthusiasm Is at the point
it fthould be. j
Medford has ft fine, hustling ball
tenm this year, and there Is no rea- i
aon in the world why you Medford
Itee, who enjoy baseball Just a little
bit or a lot, shouldn't come out and
see for yourselves whether the Rogues
are a good ball team or not. And,
if you do, you won't be dlsappolntd.

RELIEF EFFORTS
ARE OUTLINED AT
ROTARY MEETING
What the United States govern
ment is doing toward the relief of
needy and unemployed In this local
ity as well as C. C. C, C. W. A. and
P. W. A. activities In Jackson county
were discussed at today's meeting of
the Medford Rotary club at the Med
ford Hotel. Alfred S. V. Carpenter.
Fred Scheffel, Captain B. B. McMa
hon and Louis Utrlch presented brief,
interesting outlines of the work of
their various department work that
has substantially contributed to Im
provement of local relief and Is giv
ing new life and vigor to Industry
here. '
Activities of the Jackson County
Relief committee were outlined by A.
S. V. Carpenter, head of this' Impor
tant committee. Mr. Carpenter gave
statistics which Indicated the splen
did work his committee has accom
plished since its establishment In
March of 1933. Both direct relief
and C. W. A. employment were pro
vided through this committee and
now the newly established E. R. A. Is
taking the place of the former C. W.
A., taking additional people off the
relief roles. Mr. Carpenter Is con
vinced that unemployed prefer work
ing In exchange for relief rather than
receiving aid In the form of a dole.
Fred Scheffel, city superintendent,
offered interesting data upon the
work here of C. W. A. men and ox
pressed hope that funds would be
forthcoming for the construction of
Medford'a sewage disposal plant. This
self-liquidating project"- has already
received approval in Washington but
necessary funds have been lacking
due to the allocation of Initial funds
to large coast projects such as the
Los Angeles Aquaduct, the San
Francisco bay bridges. Bonneville
and Grand Coulee projects and Ore
gon coast highway bridges.
Eighty-eight percent of the original
$3,300,000,000 public works appropri
ation will be spent during the spring,
summer and fall of 1934, according
to Mr.'Scheffel. even If no additional
funds are available. Tills shows that
three times as much federal money
Is due to be. expended during the re
mainder of this year than has al
ready been spent during the latter
part of 1933 and the first two months
of 1934.
Captain McMahon gave an Inter
esting talk to the Rotartans upon the
work or the C. C. C. Thla city Is
now headquarters for an area of
30,000 square miles; 30 camps and
approximately 4000 men. Statistics
on the dally expenditures were out
lined by the army officer. The new
plan of education for C. C. C. men
under the Department of the Interior
was mentioned.
In describing the function of the
C. C. C. program, McMahon said
"military men are In charge of the
various camps. It la not a cann, how
ever, of civilians in army camps but
military men In civilian cnmps."
The C. C. C. officer also pointed
out the nplendid work of the conser
vation crews in building trails and
roads, opening new country, and
their Important forest fire preven
tion activities.
The newly established National
Re-employment Service, headed here
by Louis Ulrlch, was described in a
short talk by Mr. Ulrlch. The func
tions of this new department were
pointed out and a cordial invitation
to both employers and employees to
avail themselves of the services of
this office was extended by Mr.
Ulrlch. The speaker also urged om- ,
ployers to give preference to men
m is
and women recommended by the Na
tional Re-employment office as as
surance that they are Jackson county
residents.
William Vawter delighted the Ro
tarlans and guests with two vocal
numbers, playing his own accom
paniment. Archie Pierce outlined
the plan of financing the Oregon
Diamond Jubilee for the benefit of
those present at today's Rotary meeting.

Praise for Horan.
The now aging attorney, who claims
self-defense for the law office shoot
ing, said he sold out to Horan and
two other associated and went to
California for his health. He re
turned to Klamath Falls In Septem
ber of 1931.
Manning, all through his early tes
timony, had nothing but praise for
the slain man.
KLAMATH FALLS, April 34. 7P
Brooding violence between Ralph W.
Horan and Horace M. Manning was
testlfed to "this morning by Mrs.
Georgia Bokvlst, a former employe in
the Horan home.
"Since Mr. Manning came back,
there has- been trouble, and there will
be trouble again. Some day it will
be Manning or I," Mrs. Bokvlst ea!rt
she heard the slain legislator remark
In November of 1033. .
The woman and her husband were
residents of a house behind the Horan
home. Mrs. Bokvlst said she assisted
Mrs. Horan In the housework to help
meet rental expenses.
Nearly 30 defense witnesses hd
testified as the court recessed this
morning. There was a direct attempt
of the defense counsels to reestab
lish the time of the shooting.
Many of Manning's witnesses said
they heard both the "first and second
volleys of shot reported coming from
the veteran attorney's office last Feb
ruary 12 when Horan was found shot
to death.
Each said the second volley came
almost directly after the first. This,
it was recalled, was In direct contrast
to state witnesses who said here was
an interval of about 16 minutes.
