Mail Tribune Sports Editor
Along with advent of spring
and warm evenings comes talk
of a softball league for Med
ford. Athletic events during the
summer months will of neces
sity be slim in the valley so a
league would give players and
spectators a diversion from their
daily chores.
Harry Morris of Ashland is
reported to have a team lined
up and the Elks club from the
sister city is said to be flirt
ing with the idea in an effort
to get a league underway in
ihat city. Inter-city gamei,
which have always proved in
teresting in the past, would
be a possibility.
The plan doesn't necessarily
call for young athletes, but is a
game which can be played by
the older gents as well. It seems
there are enough young and old
men around Medford to get up
four or five good teams to make
up a round-robin schedule
through the summer months.
Al Simpson, the Medford
high mentor, told us the other
day he is vitally interested in
formation of a softball league
end would bu a logical man
to handle such a plan, in our
opinion. Someone has to take
the initiative and contribute
a lot of hard work to get such
a plan organised and working,
but surely there is someone in
Medford who is interested
enough in a softball league to
undertake ih chore.
Why doesn't somebody call a
meeting of all interested in play
ing or sponsoring teams and get
the set-up all ready to roll when
our weather settles for the sum
mer months?

Answering the request of
many wrestling fans, Promoter
Mack Lillard announced today
that Tony Morelli has been
signed to meet the Gray Mask
in the top main event of Medford
armory's wrestling program
next Thursday night.
Walter "Sneeze" Achieu, the
great Chinese mat star, and Gust
Johnson, former coast champion
will meet in the semi-windup. It
is a rematch of last week's spec
tacular match which Achieu
won. The winners of the main
event and the semi-windup will
probably meet in the top match
the following week, Lillard
said.
Harold (Blood and Guts) Da
vidson, the tough little ex
marine, will collide with Terri
ble Tony Ross in the three round
opener.

DN-IW, a water soluble salt of Dinitro-o-cyclohexylphenol,
has been thoroughly tested
and proven by three years of successful com
mercial use for the control of Rust Mites and
Spider Mites in the Rogue River VaEey. Not
only is the initial kill extremely high but due
to its prolonged toxic action the product re
mains effective for several days, thus giving
the opportunity for a thorough and complete
clean up of the pest. While in most cases
one application is sufficient, two applications
may be found necessary in orchards where
late colonies of spider mites have become
established.
DN-lll can be used as separate spray with
out spreaders, stickers or wetting agents, or
it may be used In combination with lead
arsenate by the addition of Colloidal Z-l
Spreader. Its use will not interfere with or
complicate any coddling moth spray program
ii properly timed nor complicate the subse
quent removal of spray residue from the fruit.
W-111 applied as directed by your County
Horticulturist or local Dow dealer will give
excellent results in the control of Rust Mites
and Spider Mites.
