MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1942. PAGE SEVEN L FOR GREAT LAKES IN RELIEF GAME Chicago, July 2 VP) Johnny Rigney, now a sailor, will re turn to Comiskey Park to pitch lor Army-Navy relief in a dou ble header that may bring Chi cago its largest baseball crowd of the year. Advance ticket sales already have produced more than $20, 000. So tonight's demand well may send the attendance figure to or beyond 38,042, the high I mark of the season established Sunday when the White .Sox thumped New York's Yankees, pace setters of the American League. Rigney will pitch for Great Lakes against the Chanute Field service team In a twilight game preceding the White Sox Cleveland encounter. In addition to Great Lakes regulars several army as well as navy players working out here for the service team's all star contest with the major league winner July 7 may get a fling in tonight's game. Lieut. Mickey Cochrane, who will direct the service team against the major leaguers at Cleveland, said he expected to use Cecil Travis, former Wash . tngton infielder ,and Sam Chap ' man, former Athletic outfielder. "Both have been playing some baseball and look to be in good shape," Cochrane said, "but I want to give them some real competition before the big game." Other former major league stars, including Bobby Feller, may get some action. HOWTHI "J A By The Associated Press Pacific Coast W L Pet.

Ted Williams Benched For Loafing; May Be Chastised By Bill King Boston, July 2 OR Unless penitence has replaced sulkiness, moody Ted Williams, the only member of the hustling Boston Red Sox who challenges the home fans' right to jeer at will, may feel the disciplinary hand of Manager Joe Cronin today when he reports at Fenway Park. For the third time since he joined the Red Sox in 1939, Wil liams, the American League's ,406-batting champion, was pull ed out of the lineup by Cronin yesterday when, irked by a spectator's jibe, he sulked and loafed at the plate. Williams dressed and quit the park immediately and, after the game, Cronin, visibly annoyed by his star's display of ill-temper, appeared undecided about his disciplinary measures. '.'I won't make any, decision until game-time t o m o r r o w," Cronin said. "Everything will depend on Williams' attitude." The excitable Williams seemed In an unusually happy frame of mind while batting against Bob Newsom during the first game of the Sockers second straight doubleheader sweep over the Washington Senators. Early in the second game, however, he appeared to take his own time chasing a hit in left field and then and then answered back when a spectator in that end of the grandstand yelled at him, "Don't you ever try to get off a dime?" Williams made no secret of his annoyance when he came to bat In the third inning and took two half-hearted swings before flying out to center field. That performance brought a scatter ing of boos from the 15,594 crowd. The Jeering became gen eral in the fifth when, with the sockers leading only 1-0, Wil liams sauntered to the plate with Lou Finney on first base. After taking two strikes without mov ing his bat, Williams swung laz ily and fouled and then, with an even more lackidaisical effort, drove a sizzling liner into left center. Finney managed to score from first base but the jogging Williams was content to stop at second. It was questionable, however, whether he could have stretched it Into a three-bagger by hust ling. The crowd Jeered him round- i ly when he was batted home and j the angry Cronin rushed from the dugout and yelled, "if you (don't want to play, get out of ' the game." Thereupon Wiliams i continued on to the clubhouse 1 and Pete Fox took over his left field berth. Scores Yesterday (By the Associated Press) National League Pittsburgh 0, St. Louis 4.

By JEUNESSE BUTLER New York (Spl) Since tas tes and interests do not change greatly with a change of locality. mat wmcn most concerns one who lives on the west coast, in the deep south, midwest or the north, will still concern him most when he reaches New York, so multiple in modes of living, nationalities, standards and attractions of every possible nature. Having been editor of the trade Journal of the fruit industry in the Rogue River valley for the past eight years, interest in our prized commod ity continued to be the writer's principal concern and reason for visiting Manhattan, although ad jacent boroughs have not been neglected. Six hundred and fiftv ear- joaas of fresh fruit is consumed every night, six nights a week in New York City alone. After breaking down the figures in the year Dook, the writer might be able to state the per centage which comes from the Pacafic coast or even, possibly. mat wmcn comes from Medford fruit district. Markets Enthrall This morning I spent on Wash ington market, at the auction markets No. 20 to No. 27 on the west side. More enthralling and fascinating than any women s wear shops or theaters could be, to me at least, is this market. The auction rooms, the auction eers and their jargon, the deal ers, buyers and sellers, news reporters, highly competitive bidding, etc., minglitjg, present a scene, wmcn lor color and human Interest, Is one to compel and hold the attention as much. if not more, than I have hitherto experienced. I might add that woman looks a little out-of-place, I was the only one there. After the larger hotels, res taurants, roof gardens, tea rooms, lunch counters and auto mats, the combined breakfast and luncheon at the Franklin Restaurant on the market was the meal most enjoyed. Matilda Dennis of the -Dennis Broker age company and I were given clean table cloth by 'Tony , there was sawdust on the floor. theer was certainly no floor Show nor expensive orchestra, but the place was high up in delicious food and plenty of it. which is something in New York.. Fruit men say the Frank lin has the best coffee in Man hattan. The writer Is now In "Char lie" Merrill's office at 204 Franklin and can look across roofs to 99 Hudson and 66 Har rison. In these three buildings are names of men and firms entirely familiar to fruit row in Medford: Dennis Brokerage, C. E. Merrill, Henry Rabe of the N. Y. Fruit Auction company. Al Wellner of Simons and French. E. J. Peters of the American National Cooperative Exchange, Yader, Keeler and Young, Victor Joseph, Brown and Seccomb, Scotto, Dingfeld er, John Deegan and company, among others. Something like a gigantic county fair with rows and rows of beautifully packed fruit, after viewing such a display under such circumstances, the writer can never feel even remotely dis interested in the fruits and flow ers of the Pacific northwest. Comparisons are somewhat foolish, often unnecessary and sometimes unpleasant and the writer estimates the conclusions of visitors from west to east and east to west as highly beneficial, not for the purpose of compar isons but for estimating more clearly and correctly the advan tages of each region. Another story could easily be written concerning the Rosa Show in Boston and how it compared to the flower shows in Medford or Rose Carnival time in Portland, the tulips and Iris in Chicago side by side (if that could be possible) with Mrs. Brltta Williams' garden on South Peach street in Medford or Mrs. Jack Wakefields red, pink and yellow tulips in her garden on West Tenth. The love of flowers and fruit and animals in these large east ern cities Is a rather touching aspect, to the writer. The hun ger for the Good Earth, from the most excited bidder at an auction market to the house wife and her flower garden in a window box is a phenomenon to cause great tenderness In the heart of a woman, western born and bred.
