The program open ed with the sprinkling of roses on the cemetery at high noon, and at 3 o' clock the show began. Loops, spins, wing over turns, Im- melman turns, dives, and alt the twists and turns that go to make up stunting were unreeled for the au dience, along with formation flights, with local and out of town ships par ticipating. Next on the program was "bomb ing" from the air. with sacks of flour In lieu of explosives. The object was to hit a mark on the ground, and considering the lack of practice, fair shots were made. An unexpected attraction was add ed to the show when a squadron of five Boeing pursuit planes arrived, escorting a large Bellanca cabin ahlp. All six ships were from Pearson field In Vancouver. Jerry 'Diavolo" 6mlth concluded the show with a parachute drop, des pite the fact thnt a strong wind was blowing. He has made over BOO Jumps, though not having Jumped for ihe last four years. He said alter the leap that it was as great a thrill as his first time down. In Jumping from a plane, the Jumper lands at about the same speed he would in leaping from the top or a box car, and an added wind makes the experience similar to Jumping from a moving box car. Smith said. He will remain In Medford for some time, packing 'chutes and flying for the Arnle Air school here. He stated that several local '"dnredevlls" are planning on making parachute drops. He la a licensed parachute rlsger. TOLEDO, (UP) Sleeping slcknw has claimed Its third victim here th's year with the death of Jack Bearw 33.

IN GRUDGE GAME Aspersions Cast On Lith ians' Field Heat Sister City Players and Fans Klamath Going to G. Pass So. Oregon League standings. W. L. PC. Grants Pass 4 0 1.000 Klamath Falls 3 I .750 Ashlsnd 1 3 .333 Medford 0 4 .000 Games Xext Sunday. Klamath Falls at Grants Pass. Ashland at Medford. Southern Oregon league's first really crucial game will be played at Grants Pass next Sunday when the Klamath Falls Red Sox. In sec ond place and only one game behind the leaders, tangle with Jake Glpe's orants pass Merchants, holders of the top spot. While those two teams are fighting It out, Ashland and Medford will be battling at the Jackson county fair grounds In one of their "blood" games, with the stake nothing more than Just another ball game. Manager Hoffard of the Rogues will start either "Speedball" Thomp son or Strickland on the mound against the Llthlans. Ashland will counter with Arnold Bauman or Bill Kannasto. Bauman Is a lefthander and was the pitcher that beat Med ford three weeks sgo for the Llth lans only victory. Back of the plate for Medford will be Billy Calvert and for Ashland will be Cliff "Chief" McLean, recently appointed manager of the Llthlans with the resignation of John Mlljus. Feeling between Ashland and Med ford, never of the friendliest. Is more bitter now than at any time within the past few years. Ashland players and fans resent the statements Med ford plsyers msde after their game three weeks ago thst the left field fenco at Ashland was only 150 feet from home plate and challenge any one to make actual measurements and find out for themselves that It is a full 250 feet from the plate. And also, that there is no ditch di rectly back of the catcher, but that there Is 30 feet of smooth ground from the plate to the newly con structed backstop. So It looks like two red hot bsll games next Sunday, one really "croo shul" and one really "bloodthirsty."
