One of the first and most import ant steps In placing the annual sum' mer baseball school for Medford's youth on a permanent baala waa taken by tha clt- I sens' budget committee when it included an appropriation of 300 in tha 1838 budget for the salary of a play ground Instructor. For the past two summers, the Medford Athletic association and the school sys tem have stood the entire cost of running the school for kids, and It baa been quite an Item. The past summer, the as sociation paid Mike Balkovlck'a sal ary and combined with the school system In furnishing playing equip ment for the little tikes. But now, and of course If tha new budget ap propriation la approved by the city council after a public hearing, which seems, and should be, assured, that salary load will be lifted and will enable the association and the achool aystem to bend alt their efforts to ward Improving the fine turf field and providing more and better play ing equipment, such as balls, bats, bases and uniforms. 'i.i?.1f f Billy Hales. Without a doubt, the summer school for the youngsters of Medford, between six and 17 years of age, Is the finest program ever developed In the city for the benefit of the kids. This summer, over 00 youngsters with a craving to learn and play the great national pastime turned out every morning for instruction under Coach Balkovlck, There had never been such baseball enthusiasm among the city's youth as was ahown this sum mer and we, for one, want to com mend the budget committee to the skies for their very fine cooperation with the Medford Athletlo associa tion and City School Superintendent E. H. Hedrlck in bringing to the youngntera such a great program. With that kind of help, the baseball school can, and will, become a yearly offer ing of healthful and valuable train ing to scores of enthusiastic boys. While on the subject of base ball, which Is about all anyone Is thinking about right now, It Is recalled that exactly 10 years ago today occurred the most startling wlndup to s world aeries since the annual fall clasulo was Intuitu rated. And the principal Mgne In that astonishing finale Is now residing In Aahland. He Is John Mil Jus, who last year managed the Medford team, and who 1b the only hurler In history to ever lose a world series by a wild pitch. The big show that year was be tween the mighty New York Yankees of the American league and the Pitts burgh Plratea of the National cir cuit. Blasting away with their usual show of batting power, the Yanks had swept the first three games and needed only one more to be crown ed world champions. This fourth battle, however, waa decidedly any body's until the ninth Inning. With the score tied, 3-8, the powerful New Yorka suddenly came to life and fill ed the bases with nobody out. Donle Bush, Pittsburgh manager. Jerked out hla starting pitcher and called Mlljua In from the bult-psn to halt the rampaging Yankees. And Mlljus, po-uesaor of a biasing fast ball and tremendous -curve, almost did Just that. First man he faced was none other than Babe Ruth. Mlljus fanned him. Then came Lou Gehrig. The Iron Man went back to the bench after missing a third strike. Two strikeouts, and both against the heavlest-hlttlng pair of performers In the business. It was one of the most dramatic pitching exhibitions ever seen in the world t cries. Third matt to face Mlljus was Tony tixerl, then In his prime. Night S. P. SI.

Paaaenrsr Ai.nl, American Rank Bid,., Prllan4 Although Mlljus la a huge fellow, his possible wrath waa braved three yeara ago and we asked him about that pitch. Apparently the yeara had erased most of the unpleasant ness concerning the fatal delivery, for ha waa glad to talk about It. "It waa a curve ball," he explained, "and I put everything I had Into tha pitch. It broke wide and quick and Oooch didn't shift with tha ball. Maybe ha didn't have time; I don't know. Anyway, the ball tipped his mitt and went to the atanda while the winning run scored." Mlljus also said that Oooch. In the dressing room after the game, broke down and cried like a baby, claiming that It was a passed ball and not a wild pitch. "He was all busted up." Mlljus aald. "Ha wanted to get In touch with the official scorer and tell him It was a passed ball Instead of a wild pitch, but I told him to forget It. In fact. I can't say what It was. It was close, and when tho scorer chalked It up aa a wild pitch, that settled matters." That game that made hlstory waa played October. 7, 103?. To day the Yank are again In there, but there undoubtedly will he no such ending to this battle. At least, Olant and Yankee hurlers are keeping their fingers crossed. LOWER NEXT YEAR ASHLAND, Oct. 7. (3pl.) Official Ashland thumbs were turned down Tuesday night on salary Increases for 1938 as requested by department heads when the budget committee placed Its approval on a set of fig ures to be adopted following a public Hearing to be scheduled later this month. But aside from salaries, nearly all department requests were approved by the committee, which Is composed of the mayor and city council and alx other citizens appointed by the mayor. J. H. Hardy was unanimously elect ed chairman of the levying board and Fred Tayler waa named secretary. Other members, In addition to Mayor T. S. Wiley and Councllmen Blake Ingle, Crandall, Hansen, Applewhite and Koozer, were S. N. Butler, Oeorge W. Dunn, W. Knox and prank Jordan. By virtue of the committee's re fusal to Increase salaries and through savlnga effected this year by the re tirement of bonds, the 1938 budget will be $0,331 lower than the 1037 figure. Famous Traveling Caddy Compliments Local Links "The Rogue Valley Golf course Is one of the nlceit I have ever seen anywhere. I sincerely believe It has possibilities of being made into one of the best In the entire country." Buch was the compliment handed Medford's golfing layout by Oeorge ("Happy") O'Brien of Boston, con sidered the most famous travelfng caddie In the world. The 33-year-old traveler arrived In Medford Tuesday morning from Eu gene and left today for Sacramento. He la competing for a cash prize of 1000, offered by three New York City sportsmen.' To win he must work bis way from the metropolis to Seattle, thence down the coast to South America and then to Europe. He is not allowed to tide on trains or In buses, but must hitch-hike all the way. Also, he must procure a properly autographed scorecard from the golfers at each club where he caddies. Financial aspects of the unique trip are taken care of by caddie fees, newspaper stories and donations, and radio talks. He started from New York City the first of June this year and must be back by June 1, 1030. To date, he has caddled on 202 courses In the United States. While In Medford. O'Brien carried the bsgs of Leland Clark and Bqb Hammond, and procured autographed scorecards from them. He paid trib ute to boles number 3, 4. 7, 13, 14 and 18 of the Rogue Valley course, stating they were real golf holes. A caddie of many years' experience and a club maker by trade, O'Brien Is also an expert golfer, shooting con sistently between 76 and 80, he claimed. Among the world-famous golfers he has caddled for are Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen. Oene Sarazen and most all of the great shotmakers of the past 20 years. He rates Ught horse Harry Cooper aa the greatest, from tee to green. In the game to day, Walter Hagen, however, was the best of them all. In his opinion. He named MacDonald Smith as possessing the most beautiful swing In golf and Sammy Snead the longest consistent driver, Including even Jimmy Thomson. He has caddled for the winner In one national open, one national ama teur, two national P. O. A. tourna ments and two national womens tourneys. Before he left, he expressed his appreciation for the hospitality shown htm in Medford.

While the "Papa' Yanks are out In front by winning the first game from the Giants, the ."Baby" Yanks won their laurels the hard way and proved their claims to the title of the "wonder club of the minors." They clinched the championship on a muddy diamond here last night by romping over the Columbus Red Birds, American Association Champs, by 10 to 4, for their fourth straight victory. The Red Birds had won the first three at Newark, but the Bears had the punch In the pinch after the trek west and Columbus didn't have a chance.
