As scout for the Cleveland Indians and other eastern clubs, MIIJus has access to the young plaeri that come undet the wing of the Indians, and many of these play ers are sent to the small leagues - to get their early training. If baseball wen? organized In this district It would he ppMlhlft to secure many of the player for a ' Medford team, MIIJus said.

"If the thing is done right, and the townspeople have confidence In the fact that It Is being done right, base ball will come back. I know. I've seen the same situation many times be fore. I've lived basebiil all my life. It's the only thing I know and I love It.- he said. Askod how he proposed to go about the resuscitation process, MIIJus said: "The first thing Is to decide to aban don all bush league Idea. I lli blub legaue baseball. If my offer to man age the Medford team la accepted, here's what I Intend to do: "First Appoint two or three pomlnent Medford luerrhants to the executive hoard of the club, and have them take care of all the money we take In. None of , that money will he token out of the bank unless the check 1 signed by one of those responsi ble members. And none will be spent unless the expenditure is absolutely Justified. "Second Keep enough Interest la the surrounding cities to have a keen rivalry among the clubs. The Idea would he to have a pen nant Hint unultf mean tmmel lilnc, and then try to win the peiiiuiiit for Medford. by gelling the best ; pmycrs possible, nlways using tin homo talent flirt. There t-lmulfT be more than enough good plny . ers right here In town. Medford is certainly big enough to proiliire lots of good hull players.

I know every manager mi the const, and ir we have a good field I can grt all the const league teams uml all the best travelling teams to atop here for exhibition games. They won't do that If they have to dodge rocks In the Infield and boulders In the outfield. They can't afford to risk expensive players that way. and won't do It. "Fourth After etuh season hold enough money over from the last year to get a good early slnrt. If everything goes like It has In other plan where I've worked, we ran have a turf field in nut too many years, and possibly even lights for night games. "Fifth Keep the team clean. Nothing will kill busehull nny quicker than having a hunch of hums on the squad. We'll have training rulrs, and the men will have to live up to them. If the townspeople respect the pluyrrs, and come to realize that bnsebnll has rhanged here, they'll support the team and he proud of It." Arnold Baumnn, ace hurler for the Medford Korfucs la.it year and an old friend of-Miljiis', Is cooperating with the veteran In signing Medford merchants to act on an executive roard.

It was by no means the outstanding bout on the pro gram. Wild Man Simmons, 163, Detach- ment, lost the nod to Anton Karaus, 166, Prescott. in the seml-flnal event that probably should be called the best fight on a card full of exciting battles. Although Simmons spent part of the first two rounds on the floor, he came back in the third to ahower punches on the blonde Karaus and had him all but out on his feet.' A big crowd of Elks and - their friends were present for the card, pronounced the best in months. - Mike Maravlch, 151.

It was each boy's maiden battle, but they made up for their lack of ex perience by throwing enough leather for three or four ordinary fighters, and enough of them landed to keep the crowd In an uproar. Each boy waa down four times during tne melee but Metz landed a hay-maker In the third that caught Rentas flat-footed and knocked him half way across the ring before he ended up with a three-point landing on the canvas. The main event was the first heavyweight bout staged In the CCC series and brought together two middle-west boys who have good records at heme. Dutcher managed to keep his opponent well tied up and landed several telling blows, but the bout lacked the blood and thun der of the earlier events. 4 SLATED SUNDAY Fighting to taxe the lead In the challenge series against the Eads Transfer bowling team from-Medford. the Kern Hotel five froba Klamath palls invades this city Sunday for the second half of the 10-game series for the $100 side bet.
