Team members, shown above are, from left to right: Frances Gran tham, guard; Alice Walton, guard; Evelyn Brockway, forward; Mona Hedges, guard; Mn Qreen, side cen ar; Nellie Laegn, forward; and Ruth Russell, center. This year's bank e tee rs are largely the same girls who started with the squad In Its first game three years go. Since that time, they have played almost every other girls' team In the valley and their victories far outnumber defeats. Some kind of record was put on Ice this year when the club team de feated Eagle Point, 86 to 10. Closely seconding that was the 73-8 win over helpless Rogue River females.

In fact. It wouldn't be too much of surprise to see local athletes crack more than one meet record. In the mile, for Instance, Medford's Chris Barker has thrice this year stepped the distance In fester time than the 4:63. hung up by Klelnfeldt of Bend last year, the record. Bar ker's best time was turned in at Grants Pass when he end Gordon McCollum rsn a dead heat In 4:45, two weeks ago. Llnnell, Medford's ace 440-yard dash man, last week breezed over the quarter mile dlstanc In 63.9. The meet record Is 54.2. established In 1934 by Taylor of Yreka. Those are the only meet records that have been bettered by local per formers this year, but the great Tiger relay team has come close to it: The record Is 1:35.4, set by a quartet of Klamath runners In 1936, but last Saturday In the meet here Crosby. Chllders, Bowman and Hill sprinted the half-mile In 1:36.5, Juat a fraction slower than the meet mark. The Tigers haven't been pressed all year In that event, and Just what they will do when they are forced to get out and step is a matter of pleasant conjecture. Coach Bowerman Is In clined to believe it will be a new rec ord. Undefeated In three meets this year, the Tigers are figured one of the most powerful teams to enter the meet, which Is expected to have close to 20 entries. Tlie squad Xll leave Med ford tomorrow morning and return tomorrow evening. HOW THEY CT4 A (By the Associated Press) Coast . W. L. Pet.

Glcnmore Distilleries Co., Incorporated LouMmll.-Owni.bor0, Kentucky QUARTS Code No. 157A $125 Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Sayi: Contract System Is Backbone of Baseball Set-Up Representative Raymond J. Cannon, Democrat of Wisconsin. Introduced t house resolution the other day which calls for an investigation Into the alleged anti-trust law violations by the "organized baseball monopoly." Cannon, who has been known In the past to stick his Inquisitive nose Into the workings of the national pastime, claims In his resolution that corporations owning the large pro fessional ball clubs exact contracts from their players which place the performers In a condition of bond age, and prevents them playing with any other team If they do not accept the terms dictated by the club by whom they are employed. Xt's all very funny. Certainly bail players are bound to contracts; It would be a sorry mess If a star hitter, say, suddenly became dissatisfied with his S 20. 000 per year (six months, three hours a day) salary and de cided to chuck it all and Join the rival team, which could pay him 31,000 with a contract clause allow ing him to eat crackers In bed or go home to visit the folks, pennant race or no pennant race. Naturally, a few players now and then get dissatisfied with their sal arles and become addicted with the spring disease called hold out! t is) But It Is never very serious. The opening gong usually sees them out there on the field playing their heads off for the club and the owner of the club. Representative Cannon has been a long time stirring up that resolu tion, although he has been talking about the terrible state of affairs In organized baseball for several months. In the April 8 Issue of the St. Louis Sporting News, the positive "last word" concerning the great game, appeared an editor! ah which Is below reprinted. It gives the beat answer yet to Cannon's charges that organized baseball is "an affront to free American labor." "Raymond J. Cannon, the Milwau kee lawyer who once was connected with the players' union movement and who, in his role as attorney, sought to collect damages from Charley A. Comtskey, late owner of the White Sox. for a number of the discredited 1919 players of that club because of their dismissal from the game, has raised his voice In the national house of representatives, of IN CAR LUDBKATIONl What you with Stop-W.ar lubrication Z Body Lubrication Body Bolts TisM" B.tt.rY Chjafce UrmV nsis Tire ChseWed Interior Cleaned All Windows Cleaned Llahn, Horns, ate. ChseWd Transmission ) 'J'"' .nlisl Checked .,dm.nr;'e'',1 lervrc" which he la now a member, seeking ! to prove that organized ball violates the Sherman anti-trust act and rep resents "a clear case of a complete an absolute monopoly In restraint of trade." Just what trade Is restrained. Can non does not make clear, nor la It ! readily evident how players are 'eo ! eroed and intimidated,' as he charges. when major league salaries range from 140,000 downward, with the gen eral average In the majors somewhere between f8,000 and 19.000 for young men, the majority of whom never would attain that height of pay If they followed any other business or industrial pursuit. "In this connection. It might be recalled that John R. Tunis, the well known writer, conducted a survey of the salaries earned by graduates of the Harvard class of 1911 and learned that they averaged less than 5.000 a year. These men left college a quarter of a century ago, many of them with wealthy backgrounds, pre sumably well equipped to meet the problems of life. Yet, after all that period of time, their median salary la about 13.000 less than that of the average major league ball player, who Is many years the Junior of the 1911 class graduates. "Fortunately, fellow congressmen or the department of Justice, to which he appeals, are not likely to pay much attention to Cannon's charges. For at least 17 years, he has been brandishing the sword In behalf of "persecuted" ball players. However, the players, themselvr. have shown little disposition to go along with htm. The courts also refused to agree with his arguments when he attempted to collect from Comlskey in behalf of the ostracized White Sox. And It isn't likely that he will have any greater success with con gressmen or the department of Jus tice than he had with the players or the courts. . "Little attention would be paid to such charges if fhey did not eman ate from the mouth of a congress man or Involve the entire structure of the game, on which public con fidence has been built. Baseball needs no defense In Its conduct, nor of Its generous attitude toward Its players, but It is Incumbent upon those concerned with the welfare of the game to take Issue with Its de tractors and to counteract false Im pressions that may result from in flammatory and baseless statements."
