Sports at Echo Park

Dear Aunt Laurie:
| am going to tell you about an in
door baseball game | saw at the play
ground. 1t was very exciting, al
though some teams were much smaller
than the others.
There were eight teams to challenge
each other and the one who won out of
each team played the other teams.
Echo park playground had to play
Fourteenth street school, while other
games were going on at the same time.
When one game finished another one
was at band. Echo park defeated
Fourteenth, then had to play Utan
street grounds. This game was the
most exciting one. II was getting on
to the end of the game and Echo was
Just three runs ahead. They had their
last bats And while three were on
bases they wanted a good batter to
knock them in. SO they put up girl
who had just been up instead of the
one that was supposed to be up, and
of course she knocked the ball way
out i'm the field, letting the three that
were on bases and herself get in.
The scorekeeper found this out and
reported to 4he umpire. There was
long discussion about it, but after
while shouts went up from different
parts of the playground, for Echo. so
they knew they had won.
All the rest of the games came out
all right, and for winning these games
a large silver cup was awarded the
Echo park team. very similar to the
one given by The Herald, although
not quite so large.
| have been an Echo park girl for
very near three years and hope to be
one longer. Your niece,

Saw Birds and Flowers
Dear Aunt Laurie

Dear Aunt Laurie
/ am going to write to you about
what | saw in Eastlake park. l enjoy
going to the park'to see all the different
kinds of flowers, ! guess because / like
them so much.
/ like to watch the gardeners plant
the flowers. They are so careful about
it and always plant them in a straight
row and about the same distance apart.
] think they keep the flowers trimmed
beautifully.
know one of the gardeners there,
and he tells me all about the different
plants and how they should be taken
care of. 1 like to go into the hothouses.
There are many kinds of flowers there
that l never see anywhere else.
Besides the flowers. l like to watch
the little birds gathering their food or
building their nests in the trees. |
could sit on the grass and watch the
little birds at their work all day long
There was one little pair / liked to
watch. They were building their nest
in big tree. They were wild canary
birds. They would fly down and pick
up little straws or pieces of string and
then fly back again to their nest Then
they would weave it together with the
other straw, and fly down after some
more.
When they had the nest all done they
went looking around for something soft
to put inside of the nest, to make it
warm. After a while one of the birds
came back with little feather.
When | went back there some time
later l saw two little birds In the nest,
and the mother watching them while
the father went to hunt for food

lars to them They would get the
meat and go off in a corner and eat il.
Then we watched him feed the bears.
He gave them quite a few loaves OF
bread and some carrots, which they
liked very much. There We're monkeys
in big cage, and some OF them would
swing while others would hold out
their paws for peanuts that the people
would give them.
We went over and watched the peo-
pie in the boats "shoot the chutes."
They would shout and laugh as they
would hit the water.
We saw the pretty birds, and watched
the little children riding the donkeys.

cANESHA PARK OFFERS
PICTURESQUE VIEWS
(Honorable Mention)

Dear Aunt, Laurie:
I AM going to try and describe Ga
nesha park, which is situated on
Il hill about one-half a mile from our
house.
There are tables and benches for
lunchers, and beautiful trees which
cast welcome shade on hot days.
Just north are the Fairgrounds, and
there are lovely swings and merry-go-
rounds on which many children play.
South of the picnic grounds are the
fountains, where great sprays shoot far
up into the air and fall into the reser-
voir.
There are cement steps leading to the
top of the hill, also a winding driveway
for autos and carriages.
Ascending the steps we n6w and then
stop to admire the beautiful flowers,
trees and shrubbery growing ON the
hillside. When ge get to the top we go
at once to the big reservoir. There are
summer houses in various places, and
one in which l particularly like to sit
and look over the nearby towns and
cities.
We slowly wind our way among the
trees to the band 'stand, in which the
band plays every Sunday, while hum
dreds of people enjoy the music. We
visit the greenhouses. in which young
plants are started and also look at two
big owls that blink at us as we pass by
On one side of the hill there is a slide
and boys and girls bring their sleds
and coast. It reminds me of cOasting
IN the snow.
We then return home, the last thing
we see of the park being Old Glory
waving gayly from the flag pole on the
top of the hill It can be seen for many
miles. RUTH RUTHERFORD.

My aunt went with US to the park.
There were five of my best friends
there. We had a very good time. We
ate our dinner on the tables at the
park and | liked to do that.
All at once one of the girls said:
"Oh! look therei See the balloon!"
And sure enough there was big ball

JUDGE BABST'
MAKES RULINGS
Sustains Mayor Huff in the
Miller Case.
ERROR FOUND IN KORTE CASE
Both Cases Carried UP on
uaa~ Error.
These are the First Two Cases Tried
Before the Prospect Mayor To be

irgs according to law. The motion

Attorney Myers on the witnes stand
tcld the court that the bottles had
been detached by agreement between
counsel and that he attached them
before the trial by reason of that
agreement. Al. Korte conducts rail-
road hotel on Hoyles street. He was
fined 5000 by Mayor HUFF.
In the Charles Miller case the court
found the verdict supported by the
evidence. The petition-in-erro was
