yesterday morning went down to defeat
in o..e OF the most classy games played
here this season, and those who braved
the threatening weather to witness the
exhibition were not in the least dlsap-

exception of an aeroplane ascension
in the fifth act which allowed the fe-
lines three runs, the game was OF the
highest order, both teams being In 10

ball.
Aberdeen was credited with errors
while the Mavericks succeeded in max

general throughout the republic, the
migration of the Mexican iabprer to

While there is demand for labor

almost unknown runner and his vic

Hayes came in third. Snrubb and
Longboat were forced from the race
long before it's completion.
Never more than 20 yards behind at
any stage of the journey, and in the
lead and setting a fierce pace through
out most of it, ST. Yves Won his right
to the position in the front rank of all
runners. And his performance is all
the more remarkable because it was

TOUCHET, April SIT took just
one hour and fifteen minutes for the
Touchet Red Sox to administer to the
Walla Whlla High school a clean, shut
out, to 0, last Saturday.
Although the afternoon was cold and
a fierce wind was blowing sand so
thick that they were compelled to wait
at times in order to see each other
both teams worked hard and played
ball that would be credit to old
leaguers up to the sixth inning, when
Touchet opened up the fire works.

this inning, the result being that three
Touchet men crossed the home plate
In the seventh it was continual
round of 'shit and run" and when it
was finished and the smoke had clear
ed away it was found that five more
scores had been added to the list. In
the eighth, Fred Hanson crossed the
plate for the second time in the game
Once in the fourth and once in the
ninth the high succeeded in squeez-
ing a man around as far as the third
station with two down, but Hanson
glued them to the sack each time by
striking out the batters.
The Touchet boys were not long in
learning Blackman's twists, and mad it
not been for the excellent support re-
ceived, the score would have been even
worse.
A feature of the game was "Tige"
Hanson's pitching. He simply shot
them through so fast that all the high
school lads could do was to stand up
and take notice"

The Glidden Tour.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April .5.-Leaving
Detroit today the Gliddenites, it is said
will run west as far as Clinton, Iowa
then north to Minneapolis and st. Paul
From the twin cities the proposed
route leads southwest to Omaha, west
to Cheyenne, Wyo., south to Denver
and east to Kansas City, where the
tour will probably end.
While as yet no efforts have been
made to have ST. Louis included, it is
thought that proper representation
would be the means of getting this
