Clarence Deckwa and Otis Schnell,
aged II and 12 years respectively,
we're brought before the delinquency
court Saturday on the charge Of
having broken into the Schultz
grocery store and the Blodgett shoot
ing gallery Thursday night and
carried away a number of minor
articles and small amount OF money
Both lads confessed to the truth Of the
charge and Otis Schnell was released
on probation. Clarence Deckwa was
also released on condition that his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Deckwa
take him out Of the city. This they
agreed to do and left Sunday for Cali
Rornia. The delinquency of the two
children is attributed more to irres-
possibility than to any vicious
motives.

BREAK EVEN ON GAMES
Dallas Loses to Corvallis in Saturdays
Game But Wins on Sunday
Afternoon.

In two game series against Cor
Wallis (the second appearance OF the
Dallas team the two teams broke even
on games, Corvallis winning Satur-
day by a score of to and Dallas
carrying the game Sunday afternoon
by score of 2 to l.
The attendance at both games was
good and on each occasion the spec
tators had the privilege of witnessing
fast and interesting contests. Satur-
days game was largely pitchers
contest, the support in the fields being
somewhat poor on both sides. Practi-
cally all of the scoring was made on
errors, only three hits being secured
off of Myer and five off of Freeman,
the Corvallis pitcher, during the
entire game.
The score stood nothing to nothing
up to the fourth inning, when Corval-
lis succeeded in driving in two runs.
This was followed by another run in
the fifth and two in the sixth, after
which the Dallas aggregation steadied
down to its work and held its oppon-
ents down during the remaining three
innings bringing in three runs to its
own credit in the eighth and ninth.
Sundays game was by far the
priettier contest OF the two. Fewer
errors were made and the members Of
both teams played their positions
almost to perfection. Both teams
scored In the first inning and from
that time until the last half OF the
sixth neither side could gain any
advantage.
At this time Dallas managed to
slide in one more point and turn the
advantage in it's favor where 1t was
held throughout the remainder of the
contest. Only four hits were made
during the entire game, two off oi
Reed, the Corvallis pitcher and two
off of Myer.
Especially noteworthy was the work
of Shorey, Of Dallas, as short stor
and Swan, the Corvallis second base
man. The outfield was we'll covered
) by the players of both teams and
although little sensational work was
done, the play in that department oi
the game was uniformly accurate and
effective.
Myer pitched beautifully during
both games and his fast and heady
work, together with the accuracy witt
which he covered his portion of th'
intield, won the admiration Of all. II
Saturdays game he is credited will
striking out IL men to Freeman's
and on Sunday he struck out s t'

abandon its fine rifle range near
Glendale at the expiration of its lease,
has secured another range south of
Dallas on land belonging to James

completed and practice will begin on
it next Sunday, party having COM

distances last Sunday. Although it
was with regret the young men aban-

is regarded as superior in many ways
and will probably prove much more
satisfactory place for rife practice.
