4NLANl TEAMS
NOW OUT OF It.

Saturdays games put the football
teams out Of the running for cham
pionship honors for this season at
least. Spokane High fell before
Tacoma, 1876: University of Idaho
was walked over by Oregon to the
tune of 300; Washington State
College went down to defeat at the
hands of o. A. G. by a 9-3 score.
Thus all that is left of interest in
the race SO far as the Inland EN-
pire devotees are concerned, Is the
question Of which of the Coast
teams will carry off the honors. At
present 1t looks as though Oregon
carried the big chance.

SEEMS To
Be SAFE

Portland now looks to have the
oCast league pennant cinched, for
with a lead of practically three
games over Oakland, and the Yer
non team to play against for the
last series of the season, it is prac.
tically certain that the Beavers
cannot be headed.
It is only necessary for McCre-
dies men to capture four games
from Vernon in order to win the
pennant even II San Francisco
should throw off the entire series
to Oakland, while II the Oaks lose
only one game Portland needs but
three wins to cop the flag.
1t is a safe bet however, that II
there is any possible way in which
Il can be done, Oakland will be

Donkey riding. the favorite sport of
the very little folks, is at the zenith
of it's popularity this fine spring
weather. The track has been enlarged
under Mr. La Rues supervision; and
advertisements are posted for more
donkeys-very old, very gentle ones

are as good as the best of nurse maids.

long-so the mothers get out of line

respective children.
