Wild flowers are abund ant In the mountain areas south of Medford but as yet are not In full bloom north of the city. "Approximately 18 inches of snow remain at Union Creek. Campgrounds In that region are still blocked by snowdrifts. The Elk Creek road Is open for 18 miles and the Trail Creek road for six miles, streams in thle area are still high. Pishing Is reported as poor on the middle fork of Rogue river. The river Is high and partly clear from Prospect to Trail. Bait fishing near the Copco dam below Prospect is fair. . - Main roads along the Applegate will be found in good condition; all roads leading to' higher elevations still remain closed. The road to Squaw lake Is open to within two miles of the lake. Fishing condi tions In the Applegate region will be found poor due to high water, al though a few fair catches have been reported as being made with single eggs. Many shrubs, such as manzaniw.. mock orange, Oregon grape and wild gooseberry are In blossom. Numer ous wild flowers such as lilies, red bells, shooting stars and trllliums are also seen. The rood from Crater Lake high way to Butte Falls Is now In good condition due to recent work by the county. The road to Fish lake Is still closed to a point five miles from the lake. Several parties have visited the lake by way of Dead In dian Soda Springs. Fishing Is re ported as very good at Fish lake. "The Butte Falls-Prospect rood Is closed at the end of gravel, 10 miles from Butte Falls. The south fork of the Rogue river and the Imnaha creeks can now be reached by way of Prospect. Fair fishing r.os been reported in these streams. Big Butt is still milky. Rancherta and Four Bit creeks are clear. Good catches have been mode In the north fork of Little Butte creek.

W $ , -t V weight brawl In t .'r I Yankee Stadium T' I June S3 Just riv? ff 1 wouldn't be worth mentioning. Mike Jacobs, who Is staging the title scrap. figures at least 80.000 customers will pay upwards of $1,000,000 to see the Brown Bomber and his Billy nulca German chal lenger belt each other around. If Tex were alive and promoting the show, his modest estimate would probably be triple that of Jacobs' apd what's more, he would undoubt edly bo correct. ' The fight is a natural of naturals, There has never been anything, like it. and may never be again. Under the guiding hand of Mike Jacobs It will no doubt make expenses, and then some. But, if Rickard bad it, all-time records for attendance and gate receipts would be shattered. With Dempsey nnd Carp n tier In 1921, Itickard pounded the ballyhoo drums to the time of 75,000 customers and Sl.78).2;i8 In box ofrire receipts. And. that battle was a foregone conclusion and everyone knew It. Dempsey nnd Flrpo, In 1923. drew 82.000 fans and took In a million bucks nnd the only build-up nngle was the fact that Flrpo was a big guy with a punch, and a south American. Klckard worked the International aspects to a fare-the-well, nnd had the world at fever heat. Neither of those fights could hold a candle to the dramatic possibili ties contained In the coming squab ble. Louis, a Negro, versus Schmel- lng. a Caucasian. Louis, the cham pion, versus the man who beat him within an inch of his life. Schmeling. nearine the end of a lone career. versus a yoimg fighter admittedly at his peak. Schmeling, a former cham pion, attempting to become the first heavyweight In boxing history to regain his crown, to "come back." And on and on. It's too bad Tex Rickard isn't around to stage the fight. He'd have the thing built up as the greatest since the apple whipped Adam. And. it might be, at that.. In two starts since becoming a member of the St. Louis Gas House Gang. Curt Davis has been walloped freely and with vigor, and Its pretty apparent his arm Is all shot. But why doesn't .Manager Franklr Frlsrli take a chance nnd stick Curt In the outrield and watch developments. Davis ahvay was a good hitter, nnd from the looks of the Cardinals down there In the National league cellar, they might he able to use some plate punrh. Curt socked ono over the fence with the bases loaded Tuesday, and several times In his major league career he has hit for the circuit. It wouldn't do any harm to stick him In there every day. where he could look em -over regular, and it might be a surprise. Other pitchers have gone to the outfield because of their hitting prowess. Babe Ruth did. nnd even If Curt didn't turn Into another Ruth, he might do some fancy slugging. It's nice work if you can get It, that of being a professional base ball player, but, boy, she's plenty tough to get. Charlev Stls. St. Louis Browns scout, who has been pounding the Ivory trail for 13 years, says that only one out of every 100 high school or college players attending spring training camps makes good to the point of hooking on with a minor league team. And. as for reaching star status in the major leagues, Stls claims the percentage is about one out of every 3000. Some odds against, huh? Who said It was tough to crack the movies?

The game starts at. 2:30 sharp. Manager Wally Rlckert plans to start his regulars, then along about the fifth Inning shove his reserves Into the fray. Bill Plche, outfielder; Wayne Curry, shortstop, and George Gltzen, outfielder, all high school youngsters, will be the rookies to go under fire. George Harrington, out fielder and catcher, and Tommy White, first baseman and outfielder, will also enter the battle.

I The Craters have been working out dally, when weather permitted, for ; the past three weeks, ind are round ing Into top shape for the league opening. The Hilt battle wlU give the locals three tough exhibition tilts before the pennant race starts, and Medford will probably be the best conditioned team In the circuit when firing gets under way.

Dizzy wasn't pulling any verbal punches today. "That Medwick is dumb . . . say Ins when I dust off anybody, it always a little guy . . . that I run from a fight.

Medwick began the feud yesterday by taking a healthy cut at a re cently published story of a row Doan was supposed to have had In Tampa. Pla., a year ago with sports writers Irv Kupclnet of Chicago, and Jack Mlley of New York. Dean said he was not In the fight, that there was no fighting until Joe and other players came on the scene and that Medwick did the hitting. Medwlck's written statement to Chicago newspapers said In part: He s right In one respect. He wasn't In the fight after fists started to fly. He usually does a crawfish act about that time. Dizzy was re treating when I arrived. He needed protection when I got there and I gave It to him. We didn't even know Dizzy was fighting baseball writers." . , All a Mlstnke WOODBUHN. Ore., April 29.
