of 47 points per game against 14 for
opponents Is the record of the Girls'
Community club basketball team for
the past season.

Evelyn Brockway, forward; Mona
Hedges, guard; Mn Qreen, side cen

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. The

TIGER TRACKSTERS
TOUTED TO FINISH
Med ford high finished sixth In a
field of 17 high schools lost year In
the annual southern Oregon -northern
California track and field meet to be
staged on Modoc field In Klamath
Palls tomorrow afternoon, but. ac
cording to past performance of this
year' crop of Tiger performers, the
squad of Coach Bill Bowerman will
stand an excellent chance of copping
top honors.
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.

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

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."
