A WARM
BASEBALL
FRIDAY

The high school and Willamette
Junior baseball teams will go up
against each other Friday afternoon
at o'clock, on the Willamette field.
Both teams have been playing
good ball this year, and there will
be hot game tomorrow. The Ju-
niors have played two hard games
already this season, one against the
Albany high school. which they won,
and one at Corvallis, where the o. A.
.C. wearers of the orange put them
to shame.
The high school has had three
games already and, although they
have won but one, they have not been
shut out. and the two defeats are
nothing TO their discredit, as they
were playing teams out of their
class. In their first game with o. A.
c. they won by score of 4 TO 0.
and in the second the o. A. c. team
put IL over the red and black by a
score of TO !. In Portland Satur-
day, the S. IL. S. held the Multnomah
star nine down TO TO In favor
of NJ. A. A. c.
From this showing II will be seen
that the game will be an interesting
one, although Il is said the odds are
slightly in favor of the high school
nine.
AS a consequence Of the score
made against Multnomah several
Portland teams have written for
games with the high school. Two
games have been arranged with the /
Portland high school, one to be |
played at Salem May 18th. and one
at Portland, May S0th. Hill Mill
tary Academy, of Portland, has writ
ten for game here on the 18th, |
and there will probably be a return
game in Portland the first of next |
month. A large crowd will witness
the game Friday.

TAX TITLE WORTHLESS.
Important Case Decided by Judge
Smith of Baker County.

An important decision was made
by Judge Smith in the circuit court
this morning, says the Baker City
Herald of April 80. The case in
volved was that of Elsie L. Mount
VS.. Robert McAuley, ct al, a contro-
versy that has been going on foe
years, and has cost the contestants
many hundreds of dollars.
Several years ago Robert McAuley
and others bought the l. o. Sterns
property, consisting of 100 acres, on
Sutton creek, mile north of Norton
and four miles south of Baker City.
The land was bought at tax sale
and held for a term by the purchas-
ers. Later the plaintiff offered to
buy the property back, according to
the law regulating the purchasing of
tax titles, and the defendants refused
to sell, claiming that the title had
passed to them. The decision of the
court is for the plaintiff. AS a prop
osition of law the court decided that
the tax title was of no validity, and
that the defendant was entitled was
entitled to collect the amount Of
taxes that the pleading showed was
due them.
