Buck Newsom of the Senators and Lefty Gomes of the Yanks put on a scoreless pitching duel until the ninth inning when Cecil Travis singled and Carl Reyn olds slapped out a two-bagger that decided the Issue. In Cleveland, Lynwood Rowe start ed the champion Detroit Tigers off on the right foot when he shut out the Cleveland Indiana 8-0 before 18.200. Even Dizzy Dean had little to crow about. His fancy offerings were plas tered for 14 hita In six Innings as the Cubs defeated the Cards 12-7. The hurling Chicago ace, Lon War neke, also had to duck as 13 hits rang off rival bats during hla aeven Innings of service. Billy Horman, Cubs second baseman who led the league with 67 doubles Inst year, banged out three to signal Ire this yar'a dfre of that honor, henldes 'getting a home run and a single.

Promoter Mack LI Hard announced today. Belcastro, who was angered when Referee Ray Friable awarded Peck the nod two weeks ago on a technt canty, and further Irked Monday night when Mlhalakit won on what Pete considers a fluke (Belcastro in Jured his back when he missed flying drop-kick) has been stung out of his easiness In defending his belt and has expressed willingness to meet, end beat, both of the chal lengers In one night if necessary.

Two All-American football stars will tackle each other on the same card next Monday, when George "Wildcat" Wilson, Washington's All Amerlcsn halfback of 10 years go. tries his line plunging against Danny Savlch, honor guard at Utah in 1030.

FANDOM AT RANDOM By DICK APPLEG4TB Is hard baseball on tht way out? Reports come In from all over the country that hard ball leagues are faltering ' d beginning to melt under the hot sun of competition from soft ball, klttenball, katball, cat ball, or whatever you want to call It. The old-timers and those who are now playing hardball will hotly protest such a conclusion, and It Is true that , hardball will probably remain In the big cities as the piece de resistance on Sunday afternoons and during the summer. But whether they believe It or not, softball Is stealing the lime light. For one thing, baseball In Its general meaning, la no longer a game. It Is a profession, and while It still remains a aport. It ceased being a game a long time ago In any center where. It Is played extensively. Big money controls a large part of it, and the center of Interest Is no longer the sportsmanship of the thing, but the amount of money that can be raked In over the turn it lies. Klttenball suffers under no such Indictment. It Is all game, the play ers play for the fun there Is In It and not the money. Most of the games are free, and In a town jlke Medford a spectator will go and see about half the players as friends, not as public spectacles. It costs next to nothing to start a kitten ball game: there is not expensive outlay for mitts. The game can be played In any size field, and best of all. It can be played after supper In the evening when the players can get their day's exercise. In big cities as well as small, twl light leagues are springing up, and thousands of men will be out play ing Instead of watching some profes sional doing It for him. You've heard thousands of people say they like to play baseball but don't give a rap about watching someone else play It. If you've been around Medford long. The smarter of the hardball play- era are awlnglng with the current and playing softball as long as the season lasts. There are Now, with Crater lake only two hours away, the little woman stomps her foot and refuses to any longer sit In a splintery grandstand, under a blistering sun, and watch a baseball game. She'd rather be out along some stream where the kids can wade and she can relax. And gradually the old man Is beginning to see eye to eye with her on that. Base hall can't be killed that, easily, and that's where softball comes In. Sort of eating cake and keeping It, too. T HERE BY Prince Slllkl ibn All Hassan Ml halakla or Arabia has lived In this country so much that he has adopt' ed most or the American eu, toma, Including monogamy. On a recent trip back to Bagdad, Ara bia, the Prince's family wanted htm to marry not one, but four handsome d a ni seis. His grandfather had four wives and saw no reason why Prince Slllkl shouldn't avail himself of a like num ber. A nice part about the set-up Is that each of the four would bring a nice dowry Into the family coffers. And he said NO I PLAN HATCH EUREKA GOLFERS I 'EH AGAIN still some who will play baseball If they aren't paid a cent for It, and on of the nice things about a softball schedule Is that It doesn't drag along all summer. The sea son gets started about now and rare- lasts until past June 10, That leaves the rest of the summer Sun days for fishing, swimming and other pastimes that the automobile has given the American public. If baseball dies as our national sport (If It is not already dead), the automobile killed It, Time was when there wasn't much else to do on Sun day but go to a baseball game. It took all day to drive old Dobbyn out to Bybee bridge and back, if you expected to spend much time on your picnic. The drive to Ashland was a harrowing experience, and not to be tackled every week-end. So, the fam ily packed up and went to the ball frame.

Lawrence Bragg, orchardlst, writer and sports. msn, haa been selected as the repre sentative or tne American Olympic committee In thia district, and has started hla drive for taking subscrip tions ior tne aiiair. Said Mr. Bragg today: "Ths Am erican Olymplo representatlvea are not subsidized In any way, but ar. sent to the gamea solely by popular suDscnption. Many countrlea draft funds from various departments to rinance the Olympic contestants but In the past the subscription method hss proved satisfactory in this country." A atrong representation from the western United States will be on the American Olympic team, Mr. Bragg stated, and urged that contributions be made by those Interested In send ing a strong delegation, amply fi nanced. All of the funds raised by the sub scription drive will be forwarded loo per cent to the committee In charge, witn no part aubatracted for promo tion purposes.

"Five dollars rrom esch or 100 sportsmen will get one athlete to the Olympic games and back well equipped, transported, housed, fed and coached to do hla best to carry the Stars and stripes to victory," he said. "Our athletes, with ability to win Olympic laurels, with all the tech nical skill, physical prowness, com petitive strategy and courage and de termination, lack something we can give them," Mr. Bragg pointed out "Youngsters less thsn 20 yeara of age. they have not yet begun to earn their way In the world. They cannot pay their own Olympic expenses. Our opportunity la to help them catch this tide of youthful adventure at Its Olympic flood. We csn give them a hand and share In their adventure."

Vou see we had a uniform coating all orer the fruit rather than in blotches which permitted normal coloring. Official investigators have shown that a heavy coating of Lead Arsenate does not interfere with normal coloring of fruit provided it is uniformly distributed. "Well, do you think that a heavy coating like that will clog the breathing pores of the foliage?" "At near as I can find out no one has been able to estsbliih any Interference with plant functioning as a result of heavy coatings of Lead Arsenate. Bill, you should not overlook the fact that wt are applying Lead Arsenate to control codling moth and if we are going to control them -successfully we must get the first brood, snd it is to our interest to get all the Lead we possibly can to remain on the fruit and foliage. Heavy deposits of Lesd Arsenste esrly in the sesson will result in better first brood control and fewer applications for the second brood. There is no law against using less thsn the usual dosage of Lead Arsenste provided it builds up a coating sufficiently heavy to control the worms.

HERE'S a funny little item about salea-tax troubles 1 60 yeara ago in London. To protect the English weavers of linen and wool, cotton chintz was stiffly taxed, and the Lord Mayor was "shocked and grieved" to see three gentlewomen walking in'St. James Park on Sunday dressed in chintz gowns. On Monday morning, the three ladies were haled into court but all promptly paid their fines . . . because chintz was so pretty and so cool! It still is. Crisp little dot and flower chintz for warm weather frocks. Red-rambler-rose chintz for summer bedrooms. Chintz slip-covers for dining-room chairs. Chintz blinds when you take the winter draperies down. Right now is the time to do your chintz-choosing. Or gay cretonnes and bold blocked linens . . . clothes at special after-Easter savings . . . porch and lawn furni ture . . . garden tools . . . ALL the things you'll need and enjoy this summer. Study the advertisements to see who's selling them and what the price tags are.
