Vision of Mod ford as en Important
apot on the Pacific coaat baseball
map were seen yesterday, with the
announcement of John Mil J us, for
mer National and American league
pitching star now living on a small
farm near Ashland, that he was In
terested In the baseball future of this
city.
"Medford has the climate, and
I'm sure there are enough people
here interested In the sport to
make a go of It," Ml I Jus said. 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.
Advised that baseball has been,
much deader than the great Auk for
some years past In this community,
MIIJus said that he tealized the fact
but did not consider It - sn Insur
mountable difficulty In building the
game hack up to a high standard. "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.
''Third Decldo where the games
are to he played, and then make
every error t to Improve the field
to const league standnrils. 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. Two who have been contacted
but have not yet given their answer
are Toery Bill innca and John
Mann. If those two gentlemen accept,
baeeball will have already surmount
ed 7fl per rent of Its difficulties in
Medford. The remits no will be on.

The continued grind of wrestling
In the south has put him In the best
condition of his career, he says, and
he has picked up many new holds,
Medford fans know from experience
that every time the versatile Belcas
tro leaves this district for one of his
frequent' wrestling tours, he .returns
with a wealth of new holds.
Back, from a trip In the east last
yar, the "big Italian un veiled a ter-
rlflo whip wrist lock and a surprising
speed In reversing holds, and on re
turning from a later tour Into Mexico
he presented his Mexican death
lock," a complicated toe lock that
leavea opponent very, very helpless.
The Italian has been a popular
favorite here for several years, his
spectacular drop-kicks, of which he
Is past master, and his son nen bergs
having given him the reputation for
action that Medford audiences de
mand. Belcastro meets a newcomer In Nor
man Mack, rough and clever OkJaho
man, on the main event at the Arm
ory Monday night. Mack Is not only
new to Medford, but to the coast,
where he has come to gain new laur
el after a meteoric career An the
south and east.
The middle main event pits Al Kar-
aslck, another Medford favorite, with
a second newcomer to the local wars,
the Arabian nobleman Prince Mlhail
lals. The Arabian la 38 years old,
tricky In his wrestling, and described
ss the virile sort who likes his grap
pling rough and fast. Karaslck has
promised to accommodate htm Mon
day. Still a third new face will be seen
In the opened when Joe Marsh, big
and heavy set Mlasourlan, meets Dr.
Barney Cosneck, Ph.D., University of
Illinois. In the opening scuffle. Other
than that he is hard to hurt and be
lieves that any sort of tactic Is fa'r if
It punishes his opponent, little Is
known of Marsh. Cosneck served as
his own Introduction last week when
he untangled the cye-gouglng and
kicking of Mike Caddock in short
order.

the outstanding bout on the pro

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

A big crowd of Elks and - their

Mike Maravlch, 151. South Fork

IMPORTANT NEWS
FOR OREGON
LIQUOR BUYERS!
' DO YOU KNOW that good apple brandy,
made like we make it at Hood River, has a
natural smoothness and palatability which
equals years of ageing in other liquor, and
costs half as much!
That's because the juice of sound, fine
flavored apples, after being fermented and
distilled by most modern methods, contains
practically no fusel oil. In other liquors this
must be overcome by years of ageing.
Hood River "Old Delicious" is made in a
new.modern distillery, equipped with latest
type all-copper still at a cost of $30,000.
The run of brandy is being constantly tested
in our own scientific laboratory. Then it is
stored in new charred oak casks.
Wherever a fine whiskey can be used, you
can use Hood River Brandy at much less
cost! Makes wonderful Old Fashioneds,
Manhattans, Sidecars, Toddies. Its superb
bouquet makes it marvelous for highballs

most popular drinks in Oregon. Just try a
