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

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

that If something Isn't done about

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
