PAGE FIVE SOFTBALL RIVALS VIE TOMORROW IN Timber Products and Plche Hard ware, red-hot Softball rivals, will meet again tomorrow afternoon at :1S at the high school ball park, but Instead of playing the game In the orthodox manner, the two teams will be mounted on stubborn and unwilling donkeys. It will be the annual appearance of donkey baseball In Medford under the sponsorship of the local 20-30 elub. This years' string of brutes will be furnished by the Peninsula Amusement company of California, and Includes 19 of the most Irritat ing "critters" ever assembled to send fens Into hysterics and players Into he dust. . To those who have witnessed don key baseball in the past, no explan ation of the hilarious pastime Is necessary. For those who have yet to attend their first exhibition ef the game, the following Is printed; : All Inflelders and outfielders are aboard donkeys, which they may lesve only to field a batted ball. Upon procuring the ball, they must return to their steeds to throw It. The pitcher and catcher are the lone fielders not seated aboard the don keys. The batter, after hitting the ban. must mount his transportation, which Is usually not overly willing to be mounted, and proceed to first base. It Is considered excellent time when a batter reaches the Initial sack In five minutes. Many batters never get there because of the strange occurrences that occur on the way. A large crowd Is expected. All seats will be In the twin grandstands. . Japanese Bombs Fire Tientsin ' ' - .
