Golf . - In Competition Here August 22 Big doings here In Medford next August 33. In fact, that day will just about top any other In the history of local sports. I First, of course, will be the dedica tion of a memorial to the late Chan Egan, a truly great golfer who made his home In Medford, Taking part In the dedication will bo none other than Bobby Jones, considered the peer of them all, Lawson Little, the former Stanford university boy who la rated one of the game's best, Jimmy Johnson and Light Horse Harry Coo per. The top-notchers will stage an exhibition match over the Rogue Val ley golf cpurse, and already officials are wondering where they will put all the boys and girls who will fight for a chance to see the world's greatest in action. Then, there will be that Southern Oregon league .baseball gamo between Medford and Crescent City, first-half champs, which will end the season, except for the playoff. There will be the regularly scheduled battle, and also the replay, from the sixth Inning on, of the encounter Medford pro tested to League President Ed, Lam port, and which he uphold. In other words, It will be almost a double header, and It may turn out to be Just that If the replay goes more than nine Innings, which seems likely. With those two major sporting events slated for the same day, even the same afternoon, Medford will be the golfing center of the world, and the baseball center of southern Oregon. Which Is fine and dandy except for one thing. And, that Is that If the Medford Craters are wise, they will move heaven and earth to shift their ball game with Crescent City to a different dote. With those "big names" of the golf world performing the same afternoon, the baseball encounter will not draw flies. And. that's a statement. Of course, the dyed-tn-the-wools will take their accustomed seats in the grandstand, but aa for any large crowd, or even fair turnout, there Just wouldn't be a chance. If Medford and Crescent City could get together and postpone' their gnme for one week, say play It on August 29 Instead of tbe 32nd. It would leave m clear slate for both hasehnll and golf addicts. "Everybody's Talking "WHATEVER YOU DO, BUTCH, DON'T PASS UP GOLD SEAL BEER!" They could attend both events. nut nan game, or gumes, now that there will be the replay, Is figured to pull the year's largest crowd. However, It won't pull weeds If It Is singed August 22. . Not . with those magnificent dhot-dlggers doing their stuff on the local fairways, , Inability to provide Jobs for ball players Is causing the Roseburg Pir ates plenty of worry, the same as It la Manager Mike Balkovlck of the Medford Craters, and officials. Rose burg dropped Its second straight second-half game last Sunday, and Manager George Barr has Issued an appeal to Roseburg merchants to roily around before the Pirates finish Beventh In the six-team league. Bert Avery and Bill Schemer, key Infleldors of the Pirate club, havo been forced to leave the team and sign with Olendale. which provides employment In Its large sawmill, Manager Barr states In the Roseburg News-Review. The loss of those two followed closely on the heels of the-! generous release by Manager Barr of Leity Baker, a .400 hitter, and Loef fer and McLaln, Inflelders, to Cres cent City, where they were Immedi ately put to work. He further states that If something Isn't done about the matter, there will be little use of continuing, or trying to present a representative ball club. Which, to make a long story short. is almost Identical with the situation In Medford. The Craters are probably a little better off, however, because only three Jobs are needed here. Rose burg, according to Barr, could use six or seven offers of employment. The basic Idea is the same though, I no Jobs, no ball players. And. no ball i players means no team, and a slow death of the national pastime, lnj Roseburg as well as In Medford. Or. any other place, for that matter. Woman Sprint Ace Now Stenographer ST.
