ANNUAL BASEBALL
GAME ON MONDAY

College Nine Will Cross Bats on
Ankeny Field at 3:15
O'clock.

On Monday afternoon at 3:15 o'clock
on Ankeny field will occur the annual
baseball contest between the college
team and the city nine. This game has
come to be an annual affair with added
interest each year on Memorial day.
The game Monday prom ses to be
the best yet. Whitman has been max
ing a great showing of late, both in
fielding and at the bat
In order to not be caught mapping
Manager Babe has been quietly at
work with his team and will try to
show the college boys how the national
game is played
Owing to the keen rivalry existing
between these two teams and to re-
pay the town boys for the singing de-
feat at the fairgrounds on Arbor day
when the score stood to 0, Captain
Borleske is going in for victory. In
order to make it sure he says he will
pitch the game himself Borleske has
made good as slot artist in all col
lege games but it remains to be seen
how he will handle the Mixture boys.
Aubin or Ripley will be in the box
for Walla Walla.
The last annual game was won by
Whitman with score of to 2. Walla
WalIa secured 13 safe hits and Whit
man was credited with g.

SCALER TO FIGHT
EDDIE MARINO
Spokane Battler Will Go Up Against
Hard Game.

SPOKANE, May 29-Kid Scaler of
Spokane and Eddie Marino have been
matched to fight a 25-round battle at
Gleichen, B. c., June 8. This will be
the second meeting of the two boys,
the first decision having gone to Scaler
at the end of the fight.
Since that time Scaler has had sew
eral offers for another match, and has
finally signed articles that calls for
100 pounds, ringside. Marine claimed
he was not in condition when he met
the little Spokane fighter, and says he
will be ready to fight the battle Of his
life when the two meet June 8.
Tonight at Lethbridge, B. c., Scaler
will meet Billy Daily. Daily beat Seal
er at Butte, Mont, some time ago, and
is regarded as one of the fastest and
cleverest boys from that section of the
country Scaler is trying to get back
what was lost by the first fight and
the boys should put up a grand battle.

NAVY BOYS BACK
BASEBALL TEAM
PIucky Middies Are PaWning Socks
and Shirts to Get Money to Cover
Wagers Sent From West
Point.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, May 2S.-Every
midshipman with the price Of rail-
way ticket is preparing today to de-
sert Annapolis for West Point, where
tomorrow's annual baseball battle be-
tween the navy and army will be
fought In addition to a $4,000 pool
promptly snapped up by the navy ad-
herents, thousands of dollars in in
dividual wagers will probably change
hands after the game. Some of the
middies are soaking" all their avail
able chattels to back the navy nine.
At breakfast formation one Of the
captains made the following speech to
his company:
81 want you men to back the team
as it never has been before. L don't
care whether it wins or loses, we want
to show the army what navy spirit Is.
We have covered all the money they
have sent down so far, but you have
got to stand by to cover a lot more. 1T
YOU haven't got the money now go out
and pawn your socks, pawn your
shirts, pawn anything, just so you
raise it.
In my plebe year we had what we
knew was a losing team, but we COW
cred every cent the West Pointers
could raise at even money, and large
sums that army officers at different
nostS sent in to bet We are going tc
do the same thing this year"

RECITAL LAST NIGHT is
A MOST PLEASING ONE
Miss Claire DeSpaine Renders Piano
Recital in VIII 'tman Memorial
Chapel.

Most pleasing was the recital for
graduation from the piano department
of the conservatory Of music given by
Miss Claire DeSpaine in the Whit
man Memorial chapel last evening.
The popular musician, who has been
two years at Whitman as a pupil Of
Gena Branscombe, finished her course
with a recital to a filled chapel giving
a program that consisted mostly Of
heavy pieces, but which somewhat
lightened by a series Of four in
lighter vein. Miss DeSpaine reflected
great credit upon herself and upon
her instructor by her work last night.
Her Interpretation and memorization
was perfect and the instrument under
her touch responded to the mood OF
the player as if alive. The last num-
Der of the program Concerto, Men
delssohn, in which the orchestra parts
were played by Miss Branscombe on
second piano. was difficult piece OF
work. Perhaps the most appealing

ton will probably revolutionize the
method of Harvesting the water falls.
When first seen anchored out in mid
stream the machine presented the ap-
pearance of a raft, moored to an iron
stake The paddles are made of cast
iron and have a slight DIP in them
which is partially closed at each end
by cast iron. These paddles work
on two chains, fastened on either end
belt style Eeach chain is run over
a wheel and to one Of the shafts is
attached a small cogg wheel from
which the power will be taken. The
paddles work something on the fash
ion of the old time chain pump, with
the result that several are in the water
at the same time making power while
with the old water wheel only two or
three paddles are in the water. BY
crank arrangement at the head of the
frame the entire motor can be lifted
from the water, cut of the frame
In this way the speed can be regulated
it being possible to have one third the
paddles in the water at the same time,
one half or all of them. The model
has only II paddles but it is estimated
that the power afforded from it yes
ter6av was enough to lift 100 bounds
The advantage in having the frame
t ed in mid stream enables it to rise
way the motor is always in the water, !
no matter whether it is one or fifteen |
deep. The electric motor is fixed !
on the Baft.

PUBLICITY DOING
MUCH FOR CITY
COMMERCIAL CLUB DAILY IN
RECEIPT OF LETTERS FROM
PERSONS IN THE EAST.
Campaign of Publicity Being Wased
by Wa.la Wa.Ia Is Bearing Fruit,
and Money Is Not Wasted.

1t may seem to many citizens of
Walla Walia that the money they are
giving for publicity work and to for
ward the vast advantages of the town
and country is like pouring water in
to rat hole, no end to it, but if they
every day by Secretary A. c. Moore
they would think their money was be-
ing spent to great advantage. Many
of the letters are from men who have
money and are looking for a country
which affords the advantages to be
found here. Many of these letters are
from business men who accept the re-
Plies as a matter of course and they
either land in Walla Walla on the
next train or they are never heard
from again Another class of mail
received is from people in the far
east who would like to live in this
country if the Commercial club could
assure them there would b be no Indian
uprising. A third class is from men
of families who will read every bit
of the literature sent him and appre-
ciate every line of it. 1t is this class
of men that the Commercial club is
trying hardest to land in Walla Walla.

from these men are trimming over
with gratitude. One of the letters
which speaks for itself is as follows:
Logan Iowa, May %, 1909.
A. c. Moore, Sec'y, Walla Walla, Wash
Dear Sir:-Some four or five months
ago 1 wrote your Club, asking for in
formation as to conditions generally
around about your city, having felt an
interest in your Whitman College, as
my five children will soon be old
enough to move into college life, and
wished to post myself as to the diff
ferent localities where one might make
home so the children could live
under their parents roof, and still have
college advantages.
l have been receiving information
ever since, from one source or an
other, every day or two something
new coming along from your club, or
some real estate firm. 1 wish to con-
graduate you upon the system which

you have for spreading information
and reaching people, for you certainly
have it working better than any other
city that I have come in contact with
and have been much interested an6
pleased at the information that has
| kept coming along. l hope to take
a western trip and on to Seattle DUR
4! ing the summer, and if I do shall GER
tainly visit Walla Walla, although il
is not likely that 1 can so change my
business affairs as to take advantage
of moving out there, at least for a
year or two, but I am getting to feel
pretty well &C zuainted already. If ]
can catch me time in a day or two
will send you a list of names of
parties whom l think would be inter-
ested by your literature, for feel like
returning the favor which has been
so generously extended to me-
Truly yours, w. L. STERN.
Mr.. E. A. Won Hasslocher, secretary
of the famous Arctic Club of Seattle,
in letter just received by Mr.. Meach-
am, the publicity man, uses the fol-
lowing fiatterinS words: when our
Chamber of Commerce visited there
last year, think we enjoyed our stay
as much, if not more than in any
place we visited"
In conversation with a Union re-
porter yesterday Mr. Meacham said
that in his opinion he had heard of
town than the words of Col. Roosevelt,
after his visit to this town. Meach-
am said he thought the people of this
community should keep the paragraph
in their minds at all times. 1t is as
follows:
''Walla Walla made the pleasantest
impression upon my mind of any city
Whenever 1 think of Walla Walla I
can smell sweet perfume of the thous-
and locust trees which e. lined the
streets and can see the radiant beauty
of the city on that day in May when
I was there. The glory of the spring
air and sunshine together with the
beauty of the city made an indelible
impress uDOn NV mind and I will
never forget the city"

HIGH SCHOOL BEATS NORMAL,
Locals Defeat Weston Ball Tossers
Yesterday to I.

The Weston Normal school diamond
at Weston was the scene of a one
sided but nevertheless interesting
baseball game yesterday afternoon,
when the Normal nine fell before the
tossers hailing from the Walla Walla
high school, The final score was 6
to 1 in favor of the locals. In the
field the home team played good
game but it was their inability to To-
cate the ball with the big stick that
caused their downfall. Blackman who
pitched for the visitors was there with
the goods. He had IL strikeouts to
his credit and had the Normal boys
breaking their backs going after his
blenders at all times.
Both teams played an excellent
fielding game and were fast. Score:

A. Booth & Co., of Chicago, the So
called fish trust, of which he was a
director. Last fall Booth & Co., went
into the hands of a receiver. General
Booth did everything in his power to
prevent the crash, but all in vain. He
put nearly every cent of his fortune
into the -fated concern. A few days
before the trust went to the wall he
sold his horses, his automobiles and
his magnificent residence on Eutaw

Soon afterwards close friends became
aware of differences between them
and despite their efforts, the two could
not be brought to a reconciliation.
