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.

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. He stated
that Tony Roberts was one of the
finest men and golf professionals he
had ever met, and that the local
course was fortuntae In having a pro
of Roberts ability as Its teacher.

the New York Yankees don't win
that big world series they can't
blame it on their International league

a muddy diamond here last night by
romping over the Columbus Red
Birds, American Association Champs,
by 10 to 4, for their fourth straight

players' pool of a bit more than
$22,000. while the Birds became richer
