BASE BALL.
Sunday Century Club and Ath-
Ietic Club Teams Try Con-
clusiOns
Which Result In q Hot Game and a
Close Score. Another Game
on for This Afternoon.

Sunday the game of ball be-
tween picked mines from the
Young Mems Athletic Club and
the Century Club drew a large
crowd full of expectation of a
lively game-and they were not
disappointed. From the begin
ming to tho end interest was kept
at a high pitch. and it was close
push as to who would carry off
the hOnors.
There were some people dur
ing the animated discussions
that were indulged in days be-
fore the great event, who talked
of a score ranging in the teens or
even plunging into the twenties;
but they counted without consid-
ering the wonderful effect of
practice, and they were badly
discounted as prophets by the
excellent score of Z to 6, which
kept the grand stand guessing as
to who would be who, until the
end of the game showed the At
letic boys one run to the good.
just to take a snap shot as it
were of the game, the features
were, on the athletic side: Nc
Naspy's pitching. James CAT
fery's third base playing. Pothier
VOORHEES, handling the first base
proposition.
For the Century Club: Charlie
Muller's pitching, DIR. Felix
Girard's second base playing,
and Albert Robichaux' left field
ing.
The surprises of the game
were T. M. Biossat, Jr.'s great
balloon ascension in the first
and second innings. after which
he gracefully retired from the
game with grace and decorum;
Felix MOuton's wonderful wild
throw to first of an easy ground
er; Frank Broussard's persis-

RAyNE FAVORED
To Get Brick Passenger Depot.
Lafayette Not to Be Left
In Its Share of I'M
DrOVementS
But rlust Wait Until Southern Pa
cific Can See What Is rlOst
Wanted Here.

The Rayne Tribune of last
week announces that the South
ern Pacific has authorized the
expenditure of $4,000 for i'm.
provements in that city, which
means the erection of a brick
passenger depot, additional track
age, etc. AS Lafayette is badly
in need of new depot provided
with necessary conveniences and
of sufficient dimensions to fur
nish accommodations for the
travelling public, an Advertiser
reporter called upon Supt. Shack
ford and asked if the company
intended to do any thing for this
city. Mr.. Shackford stated that
he was not in a position to say
anything definite, but hoped
shortly to have something worth
while to tell. Meantime. he
could assure the people of Lafa-
yette that they would not be left
in their share of Improvements
when the time came around when
the company could see what was
wanted here.
While Mr.. Shackford did not
say so in so many words, it was
evident that considerable i'm.
prOvements are contemplated
here by the Southern Pacific and
that the improvements are de-
pendable to a large extent upon
progress made on the Baton
Rouge branch, but when the i'm.
provements are made they will
be very satisfactory.

Naspy's elegant and smooth way
of tanning out when there was a
man on third: G. w. ROy's many
muffs and wild throws on third
base; Clausen's attempt to beat a
throw in from deep center when
the throw was already in.
Among the details may be
mentioned that the Cos placed

This afternoon at 4:30 o'clock
sharp the Century Club will try
conclusions again with the Athlet-
ic boys, this time for a purse of $50
and, it is safe prediction that
the reputation of the Sunday
game will bring out crowd to
see the hottest game of the
season. In fact any one who
misses the game to-day can't
claim to be in the base ball
fashion even a little bit.

Croker for Bryan in 1908.

London Nov. 7.--Crokcr today en-
pressed his satisfaction at the defeat
of Hearst, and hinted he believes the
democratic party needs a new leader
He thinks McCarren is the proper
man, but such suggestions from him
will be resented. Croker is surprised
at the big vote in New York city.
explaining il thus:
81 suppose it is due to the fact that
most of the Tammany men wanted to
be regular The fault was not theirs
The mischief was done when Hearst
was nominated. l don't care to in
dicate what the New York democrats
should do. as I'm only a private in
dividual. Nothing under the heavens
could induce me to resume Tammany
leadership"
Croker added he hoped Bryan would
be nominated in 1908.
Landslide for Idaho Democrats.
A special from Boise this morning
SAYS:
The returns indicate that landslide
overlook the head of the republican
ticket in the north and central por-
tions of the state. Ada county has
gone against Gooding by a few hund-
red votes. Kootenai and Latah coun.
ties in The north are claimed by the
democrats, while Washington. Elmore.
Roiso and the other central counties
appear to have gone the same way.
Nothing has been heard from the
southeast, the Mormon section of the
state, but II seems quite certain that
Gooding will be defeated. unless he
makes up the losses in the Mormon
counties. The remainder of the re.
publican ticket seems to have run well
but how the republican Legislative
ticket is affected is not clear. In Ada
county it is elected by a good ma
| jority.

GILLETTE EXPECTED TO
HAVE $4,000 MAJORITY
Full Returns VIII Not Be in for a
Week-Republicans Claim From s.
600 Majority Up-The Above Are
the Probabilities, Though Bells
Managers Profess That He May Yet
Have Majority.

San Francisco. Nov. 7.-Although
full returns from the state will not be
in for a week, sufficient figures are
at hand to confirm last nights esti-
mates that Gillette and other candi-
dates on the republican state ticket
are elected by majorities ranging from
5000 to $1,000.
The vote of San Francisco county
will not be related until this after
noon, but when that task is finished
there will be little change in the fig
ures. Gillette carried the county by
$4,000, but ran slightly behind the
ticket. Practically complete figures
on the vote for congressman are in
this morning, and show the election
of eight republican candidates.
Two of Abe Ruef's judiciary can
didates pulled through by narrow
margin-Judge Carroll Cook, for the
district court of appeals, and Judge
Morgan, for the superior court.
The democratic managers are still
inclined this morning to claim Bells
election, but the figures are against
them.

Seattle, Nov. 7.-Respectable citi-
zenship in the city of Nome has won
its first decisive fight against vice and
crime, according to the statements of
passengers who arrived In Seattle on
the Senator yesterday.
A large number of dive owners
were indicted by the federal grand
jury and on October "a were sentenc-
ed to a year in jail each. The con-
victed dive owners were not allowed
to pay a fine because of a general de-
sire to summarily end existing condi-
tions in the mining camp.
Nome's restricted district lies be-
tween Main and Second streets in the
heart of the business section. The
cheap wooden buildings are now en-
closed by high board fence. They
refused to move as reputable business
enterprises encroached and deter

Tie PROPOSITION to raise $4,000 by
public subscription for sustentation
fund for rendleton academy, the rails
ing of which will insure $4,000 from
w. w. Brown for the erection of Il
boys dormitory, is now before the
people of Pcndleton.
A special effort will be made to
raise this sum as soon as possible in
order that the $4,000 gift from Mr..
Brown may be available early in the
spring that work on the elegant dor
mitory building may he started in
time to complete it for next year.
Few people who have not investi-
gated the subject, appreciate how
much the academy in its present con-
dition means to this city. With an
enrolment of 10 at the present time,
1t employs five teachers. The girls
dormtory is filled and the music and
domestic science departments are
working to the limit.
OF the present enrolment there are
IS students from outside of Pendle-
ton and the average expenses of out
side students is estimated at $3.50 per
year, making a total expenditure of
$6650 from the 81 students now In
attendance from distant points.
The boys dormitory, which 1t is
proposed to erect with the gift of
Mr.. Brown will hold from 40 to so
students and from the present indi-
cations it can be almost filled the first
year. At the same rate 40 outside
boys would spend at least $1,000 in
the city, which, with the present
amount expended would make a total
OF over $4,000 per year spent by
academy students from outside points
in this city,.
Rev. II. b. Knight, field secretary
and associate principal of the acade-
my, will have charge of the subscrip-
tions to the fund and all who desire
to help bring this $4,000 gift to the
city are invited to assist. The conf
mercial association last evening ap-
pointed a special committee to Coop
crate with Rev. Knight in his work.

To secure a supreme court building
in Pendleton and a suitable law Ii
brarv for the use of attorneys who
come before the court is the object
of q movement that has been started
here. When the legislature meets
this winter it is very probable a bill
will be introduced asking for an ap-
preparation for the purpose and those
Informed upon the subject say it
should pass.
The need of more suitable quarters
for the supreme court and of the Ii
brary has been felt for years. At pres
ent the court uses the circuit court
room, which is too large for the pur-
pose and in other ways is not well
suited for supreme court business.
There is no general law library here
at all and visiting lawyers who ap-
pear before the court must either
bring their authorities with them or
rely upon borrowing books from local
members of the bar. Either method is
unsatisfactory.
In Idaho the supreme court holds
sessions at Lewiston to hear cases
from the northern end of that state.
A special building has been erected in
that city by the state for the use Of
the court and a library has been in
stalled there.
In the opinion of members of the
Pendlcton bar a building and a Ii
brary should be established here by
all means and they declare it would
he blessing to all who appear before
the court at this place.
II favor the enlarging of the su-
preme court and the erection of a
building and library here" declared
Mayor James \. Fee this morning,
THE supreme court is here to stay
and it should be properly provided
for. 1t is not the place of Umatilla
county to furnish a building for the
use of th- state. In the library at
Salem there are many duplicates and
should a library be established here
the Legislature could order the remov-
al some of those books to this city"
John McCourt, city attorney, is also
a warm champion of the movement
for the building and the library. He
declares that one-third the lawyers of
the state practice before the court in
Pendleton and that they are entitled
to some consideration. At present an
attorney who wishes to look up Ger.
tain authorities often finds it neces.
sary To- go to Salem. with a library
here great saving of time and eX-
pense would be made as Pendleton is

erecting building has been taken
because the wherewithal has been

The mayor also wishes some steps
taken soon toward securing a suita-
BILE room for the Commercial associa-
ton library. He, like many others,
regards the present quarters of the
library as lacking in many ways and
would like to see 1t upon a ground
floor and made into real public IL
brary. With a city hall erected he
suggests that the library could be
given a home therein.

declare Gillette carried 15 counties.
with a total plurality of $500, and
give Bell A counties, with a total plu'
rality of 19,525. The Bell figures on
a number of counties are undoubtedly
exaggerated, particularly on Sacra-
mento county, where the democrats
claim $500 plurality, but which really
amounts to about 1900.
