bat well. Lancaster. the shortstop for the
Empires, carried off the fielding honors, his
work being almost perfect. Cy Young. the

Dartmouth Boys Shut Out Georgetow,
by Good Fielding.

The Dartmouth Base Ball Club won from
Georgetown yesterday at Hanover by the
score of / to 0. It was pitchers battle
throughout, and Georgetown should have
won, as her opponents Tailed but three hits.
while the Blue and Gray boys just doubled
that number. Their fielding was ragged at
times and four misplays are chalked up
against them. Dartmouth got a man on
the bases through an error by Keane in
third. and sacrificed him around. 1t was
the only tally OF the game. Georgetown
was handicapped by long ride from Bos
ton, arriving at the grounds half an hour
before the game was called. brennan. who
pitched for Georgetown, was at his best, as
was Skillen. who occupied the point for
Dartmouth. The latter. however, received

This last hit was the one which induced
CAPTAIN Cross to take Plank out of the box.
Bender was called IN to finish the game.
AS Plank left the field the crowd gave him
a well deserved round of applause for his
clever pitching during the first eight in
nings. Bender signalized his arrival Win Win

balls but he ended the disaster by throw
ing Cassidy out at first retiring the side.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, June q Everybody
waits for the ninth inning at the Athletic
grounds these days, because this final round
is the one in which the fireworks are
touched off. After standing before Plank
for eight innings like men with their hands
tied, the Washington batsmen yesterday
Strengthened up like giants and in their last
time at bat not only drove in five runs, but
batted Plank out of the box. Before any
further damage could be done Capt Cross
called a halt and ordered Big Chief Bender
into the fray. The Indians wild pitch let In
the fifth run, but he put end to the
slaughter.
The game bore very strong resemblance
to the morning game with New York on
Memorial day. In that contest Coakley held
New York to single hit for eight innings
ana then they opened up on the Quaker in
the ninth, scoring five runs in all. Yester-
days game with the Nationals had a similar
ending. Until the ninth Washington had Sc
cured but single hit off Plank, but in the
ninth scored five runs The only difference
between the two games was that against
New York the Athletics had to score two
runs IN the ninth to win 6 to 5, while
against Washington they already had the
six needed runs at the end of the eighth.
Applause for Plank.
pitched remarkable game until the ninth
inning. For seven full innings he did not
allow the Nationals to get single hit or
run. In fact, 1t was not until two men
were opt in the eighth that Hill was able
to connect safely with Plank's cross-fe
curves. That lone hit was enough to up
set Plank, for he went to pieces entirely
In the ninth.
In the eight innings during which they
welded the bat the Athletics collected thir
teen hits two of which were two-baggers
by Murphy and Davis and one a home run
by Knight Hughes started the game for
the Washington team and lasted through
the fifth inning, when Knight, Davis and
Cross opened upon him with a home run,
double and single, all in succession.
That was enough for Manager Captain
Bostonian and sent Patten to the firing
line. Patten had his troubles also, but
they did not come In punches and he man
aged to last through the game.
The spectacular part of the game arrived
In the ninth inning, after the Athletics had
gotten an apparently invinctble lead OF six
runs and the Iowly National bunch had Sc
cured but one lone hit. But troubles came
thick and fast in the fatal ninth. After
Cassidy had gone out on an easy fly to
Murphy, Mullen cracked out single to
center Knoll followed with another into
the same territory. Kittredge next drove
one over Lords head to the right field wall.
on which Mullen scored. Mil, who batted
for Patten, banged out another sizzler to
Lord and Knoll crossed the plate. Plank
managed to fan Jones. Hill, who was re-
sponsib!e for Planks undoing with his hit
in the eighth. singled once more and Kit
tredge trotted over the plate with the third
run. The right field fence seemed to be
the target of the Westinghouse, for Stahl
ra nned one to the wall which scored NIL.

Every merchant and professional
man in Dallas who can possibly spare
the time from his business should
attend the meeting of the Willamette
Valley Development League in Inde-
pendence, next Monday aDd Tuesday.
Matters of vital importance to the
valley will come up for consideration,
and the meeting will be full of inter-
est throughout. The entertainment
of the visitors will not be overlooked,
and the session will wind up with a
big bake, the clans to be donated
by Hon. Ben +. Jones, Of Lincoln
county. The Independence League
sends a cordial invitation to the busi-
ness men OF Dallas to be present, and
a goodly delegation should respond.

The special edition Of the Inde-
pendenee West Side is fine publiea-
ton. The paper contains sixteen
pages Of well-written matter descrip-
tive Of Polk county, and is profusely
illustrated with pictures representing
the agricultural and manufacturing
industries of Independence and sur
rounding country. A valuable feature
Of the paper is found in the good
words said for Polk county by Cover
nor George E. Chamberlain E. Hofer,
president Of the Willamette Valley
Development League; J. H. Acker-
man, State Superintendent Of Public
instruction; Jefferson Myers, presi-
dent of the Lewis and Clark Com
mission, and E. L. Smith, president of
the Oregon Development League.
The edition should, and doubtless will
be given wide circulation by the
business men Of Independence.

A lack of literature descriptive of
Oregon is everywhere noticeable at
the Lewis and Clark Fair. The
counties, with one or two exceptions,
have no literature at all. This con-
dition of affairs will probably be
remedied later in the season when the
Eastern visitors begin to arrive at the
Fair. There is yet plenty Of time to
prepare suitable pamphlets or folders
giving a brief description Of the
resources of the state, with state
ment OF the advantages offered by
each particular locality, and the
various Boards of Trade and Com
mercial Clubs should take this work
in hand without further delay. A
neat folder telling of the rich resources
of the country surrounding Dallas
would prove of great value in attract
ing desirable class of immigrants.
Such literature can be provided at
comparatively small cost, and the
benefits to be derived would pay our
people many times over for the work
and expense involved in its prepara-
tion. This is an important work that
should no longer be neglected

exceptionally fine and has made much
preparation for doing her work. She
has deep, rich mezzo-soprano voice
Of wide range and uses it effectively,
so that her public work has given our
people great deal Of pleasure. I feel
confident that she will fill we'll anv
position intrusted to her. As a lady,
l cannot speak of her too highly. She
has been with us only one year, but
all who know her are her friends. We
are letting her leave us only because
we do not have enough work in her
department to justify US in paying
what her services are worth.

The OBSERVER believes it would be a
good plan to move one of the hose
carts from the City Hall to the busi-
ness part of town. The reasons for
such a change are obvious. The only
objection heard against the plan so
far is that the city would have no
means OF washing and drying the
hose after using it, unless a new
washing vat and drying rack similar
to those at the City Hall were pro-
vlded. 1t seems to us that this obstacle
could be easily overcome by changing
carts whenever necessary. II both
carts were used at the same time, they
could be taken to the Hall after the
fire or drill, and, after drying the
