SOFTBALL REACHES
POPULARITY PEAK
WITHIN FEW YEARS
There Is no doubt but that soft'
ball Is here to stay. In Medford a
well as In almost every city of any
else In the United States. A rather
new game five yeara ago, with no
organisation to speak of, tne gamo
la now the rage of the country
and Its amazing popularity Inoreasea
with every day or night or action
Its llghtnlng-fast and sipping
maneuvers, its spectable of two un
iformed tenma performing under the
lights haa laid hold or the sporting
publics Imagination like no other
game In history. Today, soiiDau ouv
draws any other athletlo game In
the world by a large margin, ana
Its players outnumber those of any
other game by an even wider mar
gin. It la a game for young and old
male and female, and It la going
places.
Hers In Meilfnril, the Increase
In attendance since the opening
night under the lights at the
high school atndlum has been
startling, and even greater
crowds seem In store as the clly
becomes Softball mlntlcd. Hamp
ered by hail urtitlirr the first
two weeks during which crowds
ran In I he neighborhood of loo
to 900, the turnstiles last week
began to rllrk In earnest, In
creasing each nlgltt until up
wards of ,100 thrilled spectators
parked the stands Thursday and
Friday.
It Is entirely possible that later
this summer, over 1000 Softball en
thusiasts will witness Commercial
and Service league battles under the
llghta and on the turf of the high
school auditorium. Other cities In
Oregon have boasted crowds like
that, and cities smaller than Med
ford, too.
Although he has never said
so definitely, E. II. Iledrlrk. city
school superintendent, has Intl
tnatrd more than once that If

the Indebtedness Incurred for
the Installation of the lights at
the high school field, thai
nothing ran atop (he high school
field from being developed Into
a complete athletic center for
everyone In Medford.
Tha school superintendent hes
definite visions of lighted tennis
courts, a modern out-door swimming
tank, and lights for night baseball.
If Softball proves s success, those
things will come as sure aa llghta

BIG BEN IS UPSET
E
LONDON (UP) British astrono
mers have msde several curloua dla
coverles lately.
Dr. H. Spencer Jonea, the astrono
mer roynl, revcoled In his report at
Qreenwlch observatory, among other
things, that the moon Is moving orf
Its calculated course. The deviation
contlnea to Increase, and la now
greater than at any time since 1680.
On five doya In the year ended April
30, Big Ben was more than a second
wrong.
Dr. Jonea said thst the vagarlea
of the moon had proved that the
earth was a bad timekeeper.
"The cloy the time the earth takes
to revolve on It own axis Is grad
ually lengthening." he aald. "It Is
due to the fact thnt the friction or
the scsa on the ocean bed have a
braking efrect on the earth and slow
It down."
The conclusion that the earth la
a bad timekeeper upsets Ideas about
clocks. Astronomers are experiment
ing with crystal vibrations, trying
to produce the perfect clock. Inde
pendently of the earth. They are
able to measure time within an
error margin of less than a thoua
andth of a aecond a day. But they
are not satisfied.
Other Interesting points In Dr.
Jonea' report were:
Sunshine In the yesr ending April
30 last was the smsllest for forty
years.
Rainfall from January 1 to April
30. 13 88 Inches, had never previous
ly been approached In Greenwich ob
servatory records for the aame per
iod.
Big Ben does not receive auto
matic correction signals, but Is cor
rected by hand. Tests by means of
an ordinary rodio receiver, with the
Greenwich "pips" and Big Ben show
ed that on 118 days the error of the
clock wss not greater than 9-10 of
a aecond. On 105 days It wss be
tween 9-10 snd U a second. And
on 49 days It was from half to one
aecond wrong.
Sun-spot activity Increased great
ly during the year, and considerable
magnetic dlsturbancea were recorded
at the Abingcr station st times,
roughly corresponding to periods of
maximum sunspot Intensity.

cording to wearied storekeepers, the
flnsl count of ths rlp-roarlng. Fourth
of July affair was 17-13 In favor of
the Ashlsnders, was a grsnd total of
35 safe hits exploding like giant fire
crackers from tha white-hat bats of
both clubs. The debacle gave tha
Lithians a clesn sweep of the holiday
series, but nobody seems to care
much, especially tha players, who are
today concerned only with the rest'
lng of tired legs snd feet.
Tough for Pitchers
It wns one of the toughest days
on pitchers ever seen In Ashland
Medford encounters. Ths Lithians
bombarded Ray Erlckson and Alvin
Merrltt, Crater throwers, for 90 safe
ties, Including six doubles snd one
triple, and Medford sluggers unllm
bered against Lowell Brown, Wayne
Combeat and Cliff McLean for 18
basehlts, also Including six two-base
swats snd one threa-plyer. In all,
players blasted out 14 extra base
wallops good for 83 total bates.
Ray Erlckson. after being given a
six-run lead In tha first trams when
Medford batters hopped on Lowell
Brown for five bits on singles by
Lewis and Hanklnson and doubles by
bod smith, George Smith snd Erlck
son, himself, sfter two errors, folded
In the third Inning and yielded five
runs on six hits snd was ysnked by
Manager Balkovlck In the fourth stter
the Lithians had batted around for
five runs again.
Alvln Merrltt took over the Med
ford hurling duties with two awsy
In that Inning, and allowed nine hits
and six runs from then on out. In
his three-plus Innings of toll, Erlck
son handed out 11 hits and 11 runs.
Medford Also Hitting
Being hammered from the box was
nothing unusual nor to be ashamed
of. however. In yesterday's ball game.
Lowell Brown, Ashland southpaw,
after being clouted for six runs In
the first, was finally relieved by
Wayne Combest In the sixth sfter
doubles by Merrltt snd Dick Ssk
ralda. After Lewis snd Rlckert hsd
gone out, Hanklnson drew a walk and
Russell doubled and Bob Smith sin
gled for a total of five runs.
With the score 17-11 In the ninth,
the Craters started a last-hope rally
and drove Combest from ths mound.
Balkovlck singled snd scored on Mer
rltfs triple to right. Sakralds singled
to center, chasing Merrltt across, and
Cliff McLean, the Indian catcher,
went to the firing line for Ashland.
He walked Dick Lewis, but Rlckert,
Hanklnson and Russell were easy
outs, snd severs! hundred fsns went
home In a atate of nervous frenzy.
Schopf. Ager Patterson snd Brown
all collected three hits off Medford
pitchers, while Dick Lewis hit a sin
gle and two doubles to lead the Cra
ter attack. Merrltt got a double and
triple and Sakraida, Hanklnson and
Bob Smith got two hits for the Crt

at least one hit but Rlckert.

orites. The American likely will start with
Lou Gehrig, Charles Oshrlnger, Joe
Cronln and Bob Kolfe in the Infield.
II a southpaw starts for the Na
tionals. McCarthy may use Hank
Oreenberg and Harlan Cllft In place
ot Gehrig and Rolfe. Earl Averill.
Joe DIMagglo and Roy Bell will give
McCarthy his maximum outfield hit
ting strength, slthough he may use
Wally Moses snd Roger Crsmer.
If he nominates Goofy Gomes to

Perreli probably will work with Lefty
Grove and Luke Sewell with Monty
Strstton.
Oomez or Tommy Bridges Is the

Vaughan of Pittsburgh at third base
and Dick Bartell at shortstop. Johnny
