When in Medford Sta at HOTEL HOLLAND : Thoroughly Modern Jo and Ann Earley Proprietors Chief Tom Fena, manager of the Naval Air Station baseball team, has announced that there will be no baseball game Sun day because of the rodeo that is being held on the same day. The chief said that he hoped to have a game fixed up for the coming week with another one of the teams in the Camp White circuit. He plans to ar range a schedule whereby the naval air station will play every team in the Camp White league with as many of the games as possible being played in Klamath Falls. It was hoped that other games with Camp Tulelake and the Marine Barracks could be arranged, but they will have to wait for a while. Camp Tule lake has been playing only Softball and it will take them some time before they can get enough practice to form a base ball team, Most of the marines are out on 30-day leaves, but when they get back they should be able to form a first rate team. Fena said he wished to thank the many people who showed their interest in baseball by turning out to see the navy game last Sunday. He said the players appreciated the spirit and enthusiasm of the fans.
