Browns smothered Athletics.

ST. LOUIS, May 1S.-The Athletics made
their getaway yesterday and wound up
their first series by exhibiting one of the
worst games ever seen here, presenting the
contest to the Browns by the lop-sided
score Of 1871. But then you know we all
have our off days. and this just happened
to be one for the charges of Mack.
The locals simply pounded the two twirl
ers used by the Athletics at will, slamming
out seventeen hits Commander Mack has
been bowling to get glimpse at "Old SOL
ever since he hit town. Well, the good sun
was out in full blaze throughout the after
noon and the day was one of the warmest
of the season. If Mack's charges play like
they did yesterday with the sun beaming
down they had better wish for clouds and
chilly weather.

Atlantics Trimmed Aloysiua
BY a great reversal in form the Aloysius
Club base ball team met its first defeat
Of the season at the han g Of the Atlantic
nine yesterday afternoon on the grounds
at LIST and NJ streets northeast, the score
being to In a seven-inning fray.
The Aloysius boys proved disappoint-
ment to their many followers yesterday,
much being expected Of them. as in their
previous games they have put up the best
sort OF ball and had won three clean VIC
tories. This victory put the Atlantic OUT
ht on an even basis with the Aloysius boys,
both teams being tied for first honors in
the pennant race.
Dutch" Sterzer and Jimmie" Curnane
were pitted in the box, the former for the
Atlantics and the latter for Aloysius. and
both boys broke about even, only two more
hits being made over Sterxer than on his
opponent Both boys struck out 1--WE men
and allowed the same number of free
passes to the initial sack. Had Curnane
been given better support the result would
have been much closer and Aloysius might
have scored another victory. Three hits
were made CT Curnane and five OF Sterzer,
A couple Of wild heayes. two free passes,
a passed ball and sacrifice hit netted the
winners three runs In the opening inning,
which was as many as the Aloysius lads
could get In the entire seven innings. They
counted three more in the fifth and the
last one In the sixth.
Aioysius was determined to avoid shut
out II possible. and in its turn up In the
sixrh they managed to get a man across the

opponents down to seventeen hits in the

on balls and making only four wild
pitches. one Of which went over the grand
stand and bounded of the turnstile at the
front gate. Hempstone who was in the
box for the Evenings. was even in better
trim. allowing only twelve hits in the six
innings. The game was particularly hard

SHUTDOWN MAY

SCARCITY OF ALL MILL PRO.
DUCTS WORRIES SOUND
COMMISSION MEN,

Local dealers of food stuffs have
received letters from number of large
Touring mills in the west that prac-
tically all the large mills will be closed
soon for an indefinite period. The sup
ply of feed and mill products, with
the exception of flour, has been al
most exhausted, it is said, and this in
dicates that prices will be raised con-
siderably during the coming winter.
No Famine In WalIa WalIa.
The price of mill feed, III and about
Walla Walla, has changed but little,
although i, is the opinion that there
will be no famine in this direction
during the coming fall and winter.
According to the commissionmens
reports from the Sound, the prices of
imported delicacies will advance this
winter. The pack of French sardiLes
has become unsatisfactory and their
scarcity combined with the seasonable
winter on the French coast prevents
the opening of packeries, with but few
exceptions. this fall.

the eleven. Had w. S. c. not found a

slaught of the Bender aggregation, the
score would have, perhaps, been cor
mans previous victories.
Middleton deserves a great deal of
credit for the showing of his team.
While his players are not, according to
in the same class with Oregon they
have given the best exhibition of the
forward pass game yet seen in tt

20 win from Pullman by the narrowest
margin.
Whitman Superior.
While no touchdowns were made in
the Washington Whitman game at
Walla Walla, Friday. the Missionaries
demonstrated their superiority beyond
airy question. In every department of
the game they were superior to the
boys from the west side of the Ever
green state. They underweighed and
outplayed Places youngsters. Along
toward the last of the game Whitman
might have secured a touchdown but
for the darkness.
Showing made by eastern teams

words on probable champions and the
least said win probably result in great

Friday afternoon at 1920 o'clock. The
governors of Oregon, Idaho and Wash
ington have been invited to attend the
services and although it is not certain
they will attend, yet it is probable they
will at least be represented. AT the
monument they will make brief
speeches after which a survivor of the

Returning the train will leave the

In the evening special commemora-

one of the most noted platform speak
ers of the day, will deliver the address
of the evening. Rev. Edwin Eells will

ment. People from all over the state
have been invited and the occasion
