Last year he won the Tiny Tots' tournament at Se- - attic. Wash. He is number 1 player en the Grants Pass high school team. Baseball in 1879, 68 years ago, must have been something, especially the brand played in this neck of the brush.' Specifi cally, in Yreka, Cal. George Curtis of the Yreka, (Cal.) Journal, who conducts the Til Take Vanilla" sports col umn in that sheet, has come up with a good-old-days piece con cerning baseball that is so inter esting we believe it is worth reprinting. Perhaps, after read ing it, some of the long-memo-rled players or fans hereabouts will be so kind as to get us in a corner sometime and "give" about the game as played in southern Oregon along about that time. The following account of a game between Buttevllle and Greenhorn, in 187S, was printed in the Journal on June 2 of that year and dug out of the dusty files by Curtis: "The Ball Players!" (That was the heading, set in eight-point type as part of the first para graph, in the style of the day.) "Acccording to previous ar rangement the Buttevllle Ball Club arrived in town last Sat urday evening in a four horse stage to be on hand for the match game next day with the Greenhorn Club of this city. About 9 o'clock In the morning the boys repaired to the ball ground and at half past nine or a little later the game com menced. A. D. Helman of the Ashland Club was telegraphed for and Induced to come here to act as umpire. "When 'AH Ready' was an nounced the umpire threw the ball to the pitcher, and the . Buttevllle beys started off finely, putting out three of the Greenhorns at bat with out their making a single run, which is called whitewashing. The Buttevilles then made 4 runs and had a good start In the game until the Green horns made 11 runs on the second inning to the Butte vllles' 3. "On the third the Greenhorns made 3 runs to the Buttevtlles' 4. On the fourth Greenhorn made 13 runs to the Buttevilles' 2: on the 5th. 14 to 9: 6th. 7 to 1: 7th, 41 to 1; 8th, 8 to 3. On the 9th and last inning the Green horns made 38 runs without a man put out, when the Butte villes, seeing no show to recover and pretty well tired out, closed the game on the eighth inning "The time occuuied in nlav Ing the game was S hours and 33 minutes. The Yreka boys played a splendid game all through and are now capable of giving the crack club of Ash land a lively contest. The fol lowing is the score, Buttevllle, 27 runs, 24 outs; Greenhorn, 99 runs, z outs. The Buttevllle boys seemed to be somewhat discouraged after the ureenhorns made 11 runs In their second inning, and then they seemed too new at the game, needing more practice, as the Greenhorns gained many puints on them both in running the bases and batting the ball.

ROGUE RIVER CHEVROLET NINTH and BARTLETT BOTH DROP TILTS AS CINCY RISES Cubs Cuff Brooks, 6-2; Phils Upset Cardinals, 5-4 Bob Feller Wins 21st By Judsen Bailey Associated Press Sports Writer. The Brooklyn Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals have strug gled all season without proving anything Important, and noth ing that can happen during the remainder of the week Is going to change this record. The two rivals for the Na tional league pennant simply are marking time for the open ing of their vital four-game series Sunday In Brooklyn. Yesterday Leo Durocher start ed Luke Hamlin against the sixth-place Chicago Cubs. This decision proved disastrous as the Cubs cruised to a 6-2 vic tory, ending a six-game Brook lyn winning streak. The Cardinals muffed a gold en opportunity to cut down distance by losing to the last place Phillies, 5-4, in a night game at Philadelphia. PhiU Rally The Cards banged out 15 hits and brought Mort Cooper up to the ninth inning with a 4-2 lead. Emmett Mueller opened with a double. Bob Bragan duplicated it for the tying run, and Howard Krist, who hurried to the rescue, yielded a single to Ben Warren for the winning tally. Cincinnati's red hot Reds picked up a game on the lead ers by beating the Boston Braves, 8-5, but still were 9V4 games behind first place. The Pittsburgh Pirates bound ed back from their four-straight defeats at Brooklyn by -nipping the New York Giants, 5-3, be hind big Max Butcher, who now has stopped the Giants six times this season. In the American league Bob Feller found the time was ripe for his 21st victory, a 2-0 shut out of the pace-setting New York Yankees. Feller scattered seven hits and fanned nine for Cleveland's first triumph In 10 games and New York's second straight shutout. Sox Finally Lose The defeat cost the Yanks nothing but embarrassment, however because the second place Chicago White Sox' nine game winning streak was snapped by Boston, 8-5. The Washington Senators swept a double-header from Detroit on two six-hit pitching Jobs by Dutch Leonard and Sid Hudson, 6-3, and 9-0, and climbed to sixth place, as the Philadelphia Athletics split with the last place St. Louis Browns. Bob Harris held the A's to eight blows as the Browns took the opener, 11-3. Tom Ferrick re taliated with a four-hit shutout in the nightcap which the Ath letics won, 12-0. FLIERS POSTPONE Because Col. Ira C. Eaker, of the 20th Pursuit Group, Hamil ton Field, California, has been called to Washington, D. C, the scheduled tournament with the skeet shooters of the Medford Gun club on Sunday has been postponed to a future date. A number of Medford shoot ers are therefor expected to at tend a registered shoot at Eugene and the local club will be closed on Sunday. Plans for trapshooting on the Sunday be fore Labor Day will be announc ed later unless the double holi day will attract many shooters from the city.

Both games will be first-half State league makeup tilts, the Toledo game having been post poned on May 18 because of rain and the Silverton struggle being out off until late in the season I due to the Red Sox' belated en trance into the loop. The Medford-Toledo contest will have no bearing on the first half pennant race, as both clubs were down the list. However, Silverton is still in the running for the first-half championship so the Saturday night fray will be vitally important to the Sox. Dutch Lieber will probably work the Saturday night affair for Medford, with Earl Toolson on the mound for Silverton. Jack Brown, who blanked To ledo 14 to 0 July 13, Is expected to try to duplicate the feat Sun day. E. E.
