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.

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.

Place Where Much of Med
ford Fruit Sold and Con
sumed Interests Scribe.
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.
