WILL SING THE OLD SONGS
Mrs. Mae Wright's Chorus Will Pre-
sent Fine Program at
Concert.

Those who attend the "Old Time
Concert" to be given at the Woodman
Hall, Wednesday night tomorrow
under the direction Of Mrs. Mae
Wright, musical director in Dallas
College, will have an opportunity OF
hearing something novel in the line
of musical entertainment and at the
same time of extending well-merited
assistance to the Dallas Free Library,
for the benefit of which the entertain
ment was arranged.
The concert will begin at o'clock,
and the program will consist entirely
of the best songs of a few generations
ago, songs that were classics at that
time, have stood the test OF years and
are still recognized as classics among
music lovers of today.
For an evening at least, the sharp,
catchy ragtime, whose spirit seems to
permeate the very character of nearly
all of our modern songs, will be de-
throned and in its place will reign
the old songs, the sweetness of whose
melodies and the richness of whose
harmonies has never been equalled.
The program is long but every num-
Der is a gem and to give an added
feature of attractiveness to the enter
tainment, the singers will appear in
the costume of Eye old times" which
they are representing. The people of
Dallas always have been music lovers
and the concert tomorrow night will
doubtless be given the large and
appreciative patronage it richly de-
serves.

ARE TWICE VICTORIOUS
Dallas Aggregations Open Season by
Winning Two Basketball Games
in Succession.

The basketball season was opened
in Dallas last week with two games,
in both Of which the local players
proved easily victorious.
Friday night, the first game was
played between the skating team of
Dallas and the Falls City Rink team,
the final score being 2s to in favor of
the home team.
The game was slow until the latter
part of the second half, when the Dal
las five seemed at last to chit their
gait" SO to speak, and the last five
minutes of the play was little more
than grand basket throwing exhibit
ton with the militia players as the
star performers. At no time during
the game was the score close enough
for the visiting team to cherish hopes
Of winning, and the local team proved
itself the superior aggregation in
every point.
The scoring for the home team was
made as follows: Mayors, four field
goals: Elder, four; Williams, three;
Brown, one; and four points on fouls.
Falls City scored Ellis, one; Siefarth,
one; Barber, one; one point on fouls.
The performance of Friday night,
however, was elipsed on the following
evening by the work of the Dallas
College team in its first league game
for the season, played in the gym
nasium against the team from
McMinnville.
The size of the crowd 10 attendance
showed that the basketball fans of
Dallas are still as loyal as ever to
their team and eager to do all they
can by force of good will and lung
power to boost the local five on to
victory. McMinnville was also we'll
represented in the throng on the side
lines. about thirty enthusiastic sup
porters having accompanied the team
to Dallas.
The visitors played plucky game,
conducting themselves in thoroughly
Esportsmanlike manner and never
giving up the fight TO the very last
minute of the play, although it was
clearly seen within the first minute Of
the play, that their defeat was
inevitable. Matched against an aggre-
cation Of players, stronger, heavier,
more speedy and far more perfect in
team work than they, the outcome was
never in doubt for single instant,
but the McMinnville team, by its
plucky playing and the way in which
it fought against every point scored
by the Dallas five made fast and
interesting game out of what might
otherwise have degenerated into a
mere farce of goal throwing practice
Rice, as forward for Dallas, was
undeniably the star of the evening
playing like wizard and scoring
two baskets to every one made by his
companions. Out of the SO points
made by Dallas, 10 were credited tc
him, 16 on field goals and 8 on fou
throwing. Fenton scored 8 points or
field baskets, Simonton and Ballan
tyne 2. f. F. Mckee, of McMinnville
lead in goal throwing for his side
scoring on field goals and three OF
fouls. Richards. the only other mar
on the visiting team to score, threw
two field baskets. Mackie, Of Portland
acted as referee.
The next league game to be played
in this city will be between Dallas anC
Y. Nj. @. A., Of Portland, and il
scheduled for December Is.
