O. 6tephenson, O. F, Fhythtan, R. R. Reter and John R. Tomlln. ' The various standing committees will be appointed within a short time. "It la the Intention of the new board to continue In effect the poll clea of the previous administration under the leadership and guidance of O. J. Semon whloh resulted In the club being able to carry on during the past two years without any epe dal assessments being Imposed upon Its membership," said the newly elected president today. ' . "While the club Itself la In a satis factory condtlon Insofar as current obligations are concerned," Mr. Me diation continued, "there are, how over a number of older Items to be taken Into serious consideration auch as delinquent taxes, note Indebted ness and interest on outstanding bonds, w.htch under conditions exist ing for the past three years were practically Impossible to liquidate. Bond Interest Waived "The bonctholderst have unanimous ly waived their Interest payments for period of one year at least, their first thought being that everything be don eto take care of the delin quent taxes and other definite com mitments. "With such a spirit aa evidenced by the bondholders, together with ft generally Improved financial condi tion la the Rogue River valley, the people of Medford are definitely as sured of the club continuing as ft permanent asset of the city. "The new board not only contem plates a continuous and austalned drive for new members but is plan ning on effecting certain changea In polloy which will result In many now Inaotlve members again becoming act ive In the affairs of the club. Benefits Medford "It might be of Interest to the gen eral public to know that Medford has the only 18-hole golf course be tween Sacramento and Eugenei a distance of over 600 miles. As a re sult of this, and the universal popu larity of Me game, Medford directly benefits by many outsiders arrang ing to make this city their headquar ters, particularly over week ends, so that they may take advantage of the beautiful course which we afford. "Olub recorda indicate a continu ous Increase In the number of out-of-town players. As ft result, all lines of business accordingly share in the added income thus received and the olub must therefore be considered aa a very definite asset to the city. "Furthermore, Sunday tournaments are being held at regular Intervals at which time the club la playing .host to all golfers In Southern Ore gon and Northern California. Aa ft consequence, those coming from more distant places arrange to arrive on Saturdays and are making Medford their ahopplng headquartera as well aa a recreational center; Visitors Come Far "One month ago a group of 99 golfers made up of representative business and professional men trav eled over 300 miles from Eureke, Oal to 'meet the Medford business men . and plav over our course. "All of this cannot help but build up better spirit of co-operation be tween this city and other point In thla section of the country. "It Is the Intention of the board of directors to co-operate to t.ho full est extent with the Seventy.flfth Diamond Jubilee committee to make the course one of the outstanding points of Interest during the period of the Jubilee'. Committees are be ing appointed to handle varloua tour nament which will prove to be of special Interest to all those partici pating. "Final arrangements have already been completed to hold ft special Bhrtnera' tournament on Saturday, June 3, prior to the ceremonial on the evening of the same day. It is expected that there will be at least one hundred entries from out of town. Interest Increasing "In addition to the benefits to the city already mentioned, the course affords Individual citizens an oppor tunity to enjoy themselves to the fullest extent at cost considerably less than Is to be had elsewhere on ft comparable golf course. With the addition of many new members dur ing the past month, together with the holding of numerous Interesting tournaments, the club Is rapidly be coming a center of activity and prea ent plana provide that It will con tinue to do so aa the summer season approaches. "It la not the desire of the new board to leave the Impression that the club la on the verge of bank ruptcy, for such la decidedly not the i case, but It Is their purpose to build up an appreciation on the part of Medford oltlaenry as ft whole that the golf club has ft very detlnlt : place In the business and civic af fairs of our city and It Is their hope that everyone, whether Interested di rectly or Indirectly In golf, will lend their eo-opoeratlon to the present members to make the golf club an even more oumvbuuiiih iiistiiuuon i j than It now enjoys." 1 Two referees will keep their eyes on Billy "Butcher Boy" Edwards (above) of Kansas City when he meets Paul Murdock of Oklahoma In thtlr main event re-match at the armory Thursday night. Demand for referee In reserve was made by Murdock after Bay Friable, third man In the ring last Thursday, was knock ed out and Edwards pinned the Oklahoma n with what was claimed as unfair tactics. CORVALLISH!GH LADS Fred (Cocky Red) MacDonald, for mer Medford high school athletic star, and one of the ace basketball players of Oregon State College, has been chosen to coach the baseball team of the Corvallls high school. He is doing It for a college credit, and la not hired as teacher -coach. The Corvallls Gazette-Time says of MacDonald: " 'Bed,' aa he Is called by his friends, has blazed his name across the an nals of sports In Oregon and the Pa clflo coast. While attending Medford high, he competed In baseball, basket ball and football for four years under the excellent tutelage of 'Prink' Cal- ltson, now head football coach at the University of Oregon. Red won 11 out of a possible 13 monograms given for these, three major sports. "In his three years of competition In varsity basketball he has won coast-wide fame as one of the flrlest, scrappiest players ever to don a suit In the Pacific Coast conference. The sudden flare of his fighting spirit has many times saved an otherwise dull and uninteresting game. "He has had considerable experience In the great national game, having played for several seasons In semi pro ball. He has not participated In baseball while In college, but his old knowledge of the game should be an asset to him In his coaching.

Associated Press Sports Writer Among the numerous perplexing problems which have arisen to plague major league managers Is the big one which faces Washington's Joe Cronln Wihat's wrong with the Sena tors' pitching? Last season It was largely the hurl ing of the Senatorial "Big Four: Al vln Crowder, Earl Whltehlll, Monte Weaver and Walter Stewart, which carried the Nats to the American league championship. So far this season, ten different Senator elbow era have made a total of 23 appear ances In eight games and the etand Ing of the club shows Washington In seventh place with three victories and five defeats. Only one, Al Thomas, ,has remained on the Job for nine Innings.

With 26,000 fans, including President Roosevelt, look ing on, the slender southpaw pitched four shutout Innings. Then a rain storm held up the game for an hour and when It was resumed Manager Cronln decided to turn the hill over to Jack Russell. T.he Sox belted him out In one In ning, scoring three runs, and clouted Crowder for two more before Bob Burke finished up.

Egan Is Interviewed by Grantland Rice Before Sailing for Golf Wars The following extract from a copyrighted article In the San Francisco Chronicle by Grantland Rice will be Interesting to the readers of The Mall Tribune, particularly the golf fans. Mr. Egan, who gave the Inter view to Rice just as he sailed from New York for Glasgow last Saturday, Is now In mid-ocean, and expects to land on the other side Monday. "Just before the Walker cup team i sailed I showed Chandler Egan a pic ture of himself, taken In his Harvard days. "It was the picture of a slim young kid, around 17 or 18 years old. "A quick smile flashed on the face of the sun-tanned, gray-haired vet eran headed for St. Andrews. " 'I remember that one,' he said. It was made In 1901, when I was a Harvard freshman. Notice that scarf around my neck? Well, In those days they didn't make shirts with collars attached. The collars were stiff and we usually took them off. So we had to have something to hide the collar button. Those were the caps they also wore the type that sits on top of your head.' " 'How does your game compare now with the golf you played in the two championships of 1904 and 1006, which you won?' I asked. 'I don't think there Is any ques tion,' the man from Medford, Ore., said, 'but that I am playing much better golf at SO than I was at 20 or 25. I know clubs, balls and courses are better. But we seldom reached the low 70s then 71 or 72. And only 10 days ago over my home course par 71 I had a 64 for the first time in my life. I've had a number of rounds between 67 and 69,' he added. "I moved from Chicago to Oregon in 1911,' he continued, 'and for the next 13 years I practically gave up golf. I had a few rounds, but not many, ' as there were no near-by courses to play. When I came back into competition again, some years ago, I had lost a lot of my youth, but I gave the game more study and thought. " 'I began to find out just what It was all about. I have always believed In the swinging Idea as opposed to the hitting style, and this was a big help. The golf stroke should be a swing not a hit.' " 'Was it hard to get going again after 13 years?' I asked. "'It wasn't nearly as hard aa I thought It would be,' he said. "I had been lucky enough to Btart young to pick up a natural swing when I was a kid. When you have that foundation the game is far simpler. With that start the rest is Just a mat ter of concentration, thought and practice. But it Isn't so easy to get after you have passed 22 or 25'," . Oregon Weather.
