THE BITTER MOMENT
WHEN ACE CREEpS IN
Woman Feels the Shock Deeply Whea the ReaIi-
zation of Her Increasing Years Is Brought

There comes a period in every womans
lie when the fact is first forcibly
brought to her notice that she is no
longer young The knowledge comes as
a shock, and in Its train comes a thou
sand bitter thoughts until she learns
10 grit her teeth and accept the truth
as gracefully as she may.
OF course. every woman Is conscious
that the years are passing. The surrep-
titious removal of a stray gray hair; the
gradual acquiring Of the habit Of select

youthful pastimes-all these things are
done quietly and almost unconsciously.

brings sc suddenly 10 her mind. and she
realizes that not only does she herself
know her advancing age. but that II is

MOSCOW CERTAIN
To HAVE TEAM

Baseball at Moscow is taking on
such a healthy aspect that 1t will soon
materialize into a fully developed
nine. At a meeting in that enter
prislng city a few days ago a score
of enthusiastic supporters of the ma
tional game went home satisfied to
sleep and dream of the balmy summer
days to come which will see a nine on
the diamond.
Every phase of the ball situation
was discussed, and though it was the
object of the meeting to place in the
lime light" those who had not pledged
their good name, it was later conclud-
ed to appoint a soliciting committee
to make a cereful canvass among the
the business men during the week and
report the result at the next meeting
Monday evening. The committee con-
sisted Of George w. Gale, Roy Curtis,
c. 3. Green.
The idea of forming a stock company
was not whilly abandoned although
it seemed to be the opinion of the ma
iority of those present to weigh more
carefully the wishes of the subscribers
The idea of collecting all subscrip-
lions in advance will undoubtedly
prove the success of the enterprise,
It will not only save a great amount
of trouble but the officers can more
successfully manage a team knowing
that they are not compelled to rely
on monthly subscriptions.
I seemed to be the prevailing senti-
ment among those present that the
! business men of the city would will
lingly support team-"providing" II
could be winning team. To gather
together a bunch of pennant winners
money is needed, and plenty of it. Last
year only 500 was raised in Moscow
against $4,000 at Occur d'Alene, and
81 800 at Palouse, and the larger part
of this amount was necessary to pay
bills of the year before.

SMALL LEAGUE

A peanut" league is again being
discussed in the Inland Empire, and if
possible the towns of Walla Walla,
Pendleton, Colfax, Dayton and Ritz
Vile will be banded together into a
league and regula schedule of

been formed at PendletOn and those
back of the league, it is reported, see
little difficulty in perfecting the plan.
There is plenty of baseball agitation
at Walla Walla. The Tacoma team
will train at Walla Walla, and a game
has been arranged between Walla
Walla and Tacoma for April 6. Ia
coma and Aberdeen are billed to play
a practice game at Walla Walla be-
fore the regulr professional season
opens. Besides the professional teams
the city will have a city league COM

Five Abroad

At a meeting between Captain Ira
Cleveland, Manager Joseph Carlson
and Coach H. C. Calhoun of the Lew
tston state Normal school baseball
team a schedule of games for the
coming season was decided upon.
The present situation was thorough
ly discussed and the prospects of the
team gone over minutely 1t was
agreed that the chances of this year s
team will be equally as good as was
that of the 1906 nine.
Seven Games at Home.
The schedule as arranged gives the
nine seven home games and five
abroad. There are several open dates
vet in the schedule. 1t is expected
that these will be filled before long.

On that trip the nine will play at
Palouse, with the Palouse Giants, at
SDOkdl6
ness college or another team, and at
Cheney with the State Normal team
there.
The team will be absent from the
city about five days on the trip.

Saturday

The Lewiston State Normal school
basketball team and a similar organ
ization from the Cheney State Nor
NAL will meet Saturday afternoon on
the local Normal grounds.
The girls of the local team have
been trying out for some time, and in
the language of their coach, will

The game via be played on the
court in the rear of the Normal school
where the teams have been practic-
ing.
It is expected that the local team
will have the better of the game be-
cause it has been the habit OF the
Cheney girls to play entirely indoors
Use Two Sets of Players.
The game will be played by two
sets Of players representing the Local
school. Instead of changing players
at intervals during the game an entire
new team will be put in at the end

The lineup of the teams which will
be played by the Normals is as fol-

MAY NOT ENTER
PULLMAN MEET
High Track Team Men Like
Proposition From Walla
Walla Better

There is a strong sentiment exist-
ing among the members of the track
team at the High school to cut out the
Pullman meet, and In prefer
ence accept the invitation offered by
Whitman college at walla walla.
A careful comparison of the advan-
tages and prizes offered by the two
schools gives Whitman the decided
preference.
At the Walla Walla meet prominent
High schools of the three states, Ida
no. Oregon and Washington, will par
ticjpate, the winner of the meet win
ming the championship of the three
states. In the Pullman meet the
championship of one state only, Wash
ngton, is at stake.
Whitman Pays Expenses.
The Whitman college pays the
travelling and lodging expenses of a
| team of ten men and coach; at Pull
man the expenses of five men are
paid.
A meeting of the track men was held
at the school yesterday, when It was
decided to let the matter rest at this
time, and decide after a conference
with the faculty committee on athlet-
! les.
The dates of the two meets come SO
closely together that It would be al
most impossible to enter both. If the
date Of the walla walla meet is chang
ed It is probable that both meets win
be entered.
