Yellow Kids Wa||op RummeN and
Parkes.
THEY HIT THE BALL HARD AND OFTEN
WIN THE SUNDAY GAME WITH
EASE FROM THE WALLA
WALLA BOOSTERS.

Good luck and heavy hitting on the
part Of the Yellow Kids, and poor stick
work on the part Of the Boosters, yes
terday resulted in the Athena team
defeating the Walla Walla team by
score of 10 to 4. The sturdy boys who
wore the yellow uniforms were there
with the willow and the way they
raped out the safe ones was never
before witnessed on the local diamond.
They went after every ball that was
passed up to the plate and had no diff
ficulty in landing safe ones until to-
tai Of % hits had been scored of OF
two young men who essayed to pitch
for the Boosters.
Osborn, the Hood river twirler, was
in the box for the visitors and with
excellent control and bushels of speed
he held the Boosters down to five hits.
Rummell started in to pitch for the
Boosters and for the first two innings
was very effective. In the third, how
ever. the Athena lads began finding him
and from that time until near the close
Of the fifth he was touched up. hard
and often. A total Of ten hits were
made from his delivery. Parkes was
brought in from the center garden in
the hope of stemming the tide. For
two innings he was there with speed
and curves, but in the eight the yell
low Kids found him and when the
ninth had closed he had been worked
for IL safe ones.
Walla Walla's fielding was of the
yellow kind and the errors came just
at times when they meant more runs
to the already large score piled up by
Athena by clean hitting. The errors
were not responsible for the loss OF
| the game, but would have saved five
| talhes. The, three scores made by
Walla Walla came from errors on the
part of the visitors. Those who were
not at the grounds can get some idea
of the game by the following figures
taken from the official score:

o. r. T. N. All RIGHT.

The following has been received BY
Robert Burns from Mr.. r. B. Miller,
general freight agent Of Hartman lines
in the northwest:
THAT you may be posted on the exist
ing situation. think it well to say that
the recent fire in San Francisco did not
touch this company's terminals. Our
ferry service. yards, depots and freight
houses remain in perfect condition
Freight is. being received and delivered
whether through or local. Our docks,
including those at which this COM
pany's freight is directly handled, docks
of the Pacific Mail and other trans
continental lines and docks we connect
with in serving the coastwise trade
are likewise in sound condition. You
need have no hesitation in assuring
shippers accordingly
GAS to the future, preparations are
already under way to provide the ne
cessary facilities for such increasing
business as may result from the ex-
traordinary shipments Of conservation
material and merchandise anc supplies
generally which are likely to be maze
in the, near future and thereafter for
sometime.
This company has been energetic and
effective in providing transportation IA
cilities to give adequate dispatch to re-
lief supplies. Our energies will not
stop with the matter of relief, but
will be applied with equal vigor to the
efficient handling of business commit
ted to our care by shippers in the
course of the company's regular bust
ness henceforward.
We have never been in as good shape
to take care of traffic with respect to
/, the line itself and it's equipment, and
no line is in position to give better SER
vice than what shippers can get from
us.

torneys from these states are expected
to be present at the meeting this year.

Following a drunken spree Of sever
al days duration. r. A. Murphy, a pa
rolled prisoner from the state peniten-
tiary, attempted suicide this morning
by taking a dose of strychnine The
fact that he took an unusually large
amount of the poison and the prompt
assistance rendered by a physician,
prevented the man from carrying out
his intentions.
About IL o'clock this morning MUIR
ply walked. into a saloon In East Main
street and after taking a drink of beer,
took from his pocket small vial and
poured into his mouth a large amount
Of strychnine. His actions were no.
ticed by the barkeeper who imemdiate-
ly sent for a physician. The doctor, as
soon as he arrived, applied a stomach
pump and in a few minutes had the
man in a good condition. Oflcer Nc
Cauley, who arrived shortly after, noti-
fed Warden KEGS of the attempt made
by Murphy to take his own life. and
that official sent a guard for the pris-
oner, and he was conveyed to the
prison in a hack and again placed in
stripes.
Murphy was sent up from Spokane
for a term of three years. having been
convicted Of forgery. He was paroled
last November and would have been
discharged in about three months. He
will now have to serve out his full SEN
tence, probably losing all Of his good
time, which will mean work in the jute
mill for the next year.

VIII Make Try For The Republican
Convention.
ENTERS Fle4T AGAINST WALu WAlu
PLACE OF MEETING WILL BE DE.
cIDED BY COMMITTEE WE'D.
NESDAY NIGHT.

The King County Republican club
will make a fight for the republican
state convention, urging it to be held
in this city. At a meeting of the execu-
tive committee held Saturday afternoon
State Chairman E. B. Palmer was urg-
ed to use his influence to secure the
gathering, and the club membership
will aid in the fight
The state committee meets in Seattle
on Wednesday night to call the conven-
ton, fix the place of meeting and the
basis of apportionment. Tacoma,
though Committeeman ]. H. Davis, of
Pierce county. has not been enthusiast
tic, has been in the lead for the state
convention. The republicans have been
meeting in Tacoma so often that the
state committee has gotten into the
habit of assigning the gathering to that
city. Walla Walla and Spokane will
be candidates, but Spokane is not Sc
rious in it's intentions, and the other
eastern Washington counties figured as
possibilities are figured as much in the
same situation.
1t will be urged upon the state COM
mittee that Seattle is entitled to the
convention because that honor has been
distributed to all other parts Of the
state and because of King cOunty's
prominence, is the report that comes
from Seattle. A convention hall will
be offered and hotel accommodations
guaranteed the delegates. AS soon as
the executive committee of the King
county republican club formally decides
for the convention the membership
will be asked to exert an influence on
committeeman from other parts of the
state.
It is pretty generally conceded by
republican politicians that the so-called
Coon Rockwell apportionment will be
adopted by the committee. This allows
four elegates-at-large to each county
and divides the delegates on the basis
of the Roosevelt vote. The convention
will probably be held about the middle
of September. September II and 10
dates.

Railway Commissioners to Hold q

plscoURAGING OUTLOOK FOR RE.
LIEF FOR WALLA WALLA
SHIPPERS JoBBlNG RATE.

I'VE did not receive much encourage
ment from the railroad commissioners
relative to the demand Of Walla Wal
la for a jobbing rate from the railroad
companies" said Harry B. Strong,
who in company with c. c. Gose, went
to Olympia last week to appear before
the board of railroad commissioners.
Mr.. Strong and Mr.. Gose returned yes
terday from the Sound, having spent
two days in Seattle after completing
their interview with the railroad COM
mssiOners at Olympia.
Chairman Fairchild intimated that
probably the commission would make
an effort to afford the Walla Walla
shippers some relief by ordering a
new distance tariff which he believed
would effect the same result as a
special jobbing rate. 1t was decided,
however, that we should have a separ-
ate hearing on our complaint. In other
words there will be two hearings held
in eastern Washington on the COM
plants now on file with the commits
sion
The first hearing will be at Colfax,
beginning on June 10 and the second
will be held at Walla Walla on June
% The Colfax hearing will cover the
joint rate on wheat. The Walla Walla
hearing will take the subject of the
jobbing rate asked for by the bust
ness men of Walla Walla, the COM
plant on the freight rate on grain bags
the Eureka Flat grain rate and the
complaint about the condition Of the
Pasco depot
THE attorney generals office will be
represented at both hearings by At
torney General Falknor. He has beer
engaged with Chairman Fairchild in
drafting complaints, which will be
completed and served on the railroad
companies today.
