WALLA WALLA BEARS
MEET FIRST DEFEAT
ATHENA TAKES CONTEST
BY SCORE OF 9 TO 8
Errors at Critical Points In the Game
Partly Due to Walla Walla's De-
feat-Athena Plays Great Game
and Deserved to Win.

Jubilant, boastful and confident
two hundred faithful ball fans jour-
neyed to Athena yesterday morning
on the excursion train with
strengthened team to back against the
Millers; a team which heretofore had
been undefeated, and which was the
idol of their hearts, says the Walla
Walla Union. Broke, crestfallen yet
with a gleam of determination in
their eyes, which looks bad for the
next game with the Millers, they re-
turned.
The story IS a sad one. although
the game was a good one. Aside
from one flighty exhibition in the last
of the eighth, no balloon flights were
recorded, and every one who saw the
game was satisfied that he had OBJ
tanned his moneys worth. and there
was a large crowd there, too.
Let us not speak more of the dis
may experienced by the two hun
dyed loyal fans in that fatal eighth,
but rather get down to how it hap
pened. In the first place, poor mis-
cradle, deluded, brushy Roberts UNI
pIltu lue SdIllt, 1T ledSl lHoSe are lne
descriptions given him by the fans
last night. According to their state
ments if Roberts ever before saw a
smoothed over lot with real live
Bears gamboling thereon, 1t was not
in the outer neck of the woods. Suf-
flee to say his decisions were rotten
and although he evidently did the best
he could, that was not saying much.
The game was a good one and
Athena won on merits. They played
"A harder, steadier game than the
Bears, whose two costly errors lost
them the game. Hanson pitched a
fine game and received good sup
port. His error in missing Smiths
high one in the second and Black
mans fumbling in the eighth cost the
game.
Athena used an imported pitcher
said to be a castoff from the North
western league. He was there with
the bells and twirled good game.
The only thing that is now desired
by local fans is revenge, and this will
not be long. for Athena is due here
before many weeks.

he had the proper support, the story
would not have been so doleful for
the Echo bunch. However, notwith-

the game, the Champions will have

would have them think.

Mines will preach here for two more
Sundays, after which he will return
TO the east to complete some business
transactions, when he will come back
to the west to ave and it is probable
that he will accept the pastorate in
this city.
Rev. Mines morning subject was
Il Am the Truth" and his treatment
was not at all ordinary. He showed
that Christ as the truth was the great
unifying, harmonizing force of the
world, the fundamental principle that
lies as the base of all unity and har-
mony.
Rev. Mines evening subject was
Sin" and here again he showed
himself to be both a scholar and an
orator.
The music at both services was
splendid, although the choir has had
but little practice for some time. The
features of the musical program were
the violin solo by F. D. Carruth in
the morning, the vocal selections both
morning and evening by Miss Bernice
Ruppe, and the anthems of the
choir.

stood to have agreed to permit Italy
a pacific penetration of Trpoili"
Turkey claims that the right has
ever since been respected, while Italy
charges that her subjects have been
mistreated by the Ottoman authori-
ties. Frequent disputes have arisen
which have finally served as the basis
for an attack upon Turkey by the
Italian forces.
Following the invasion of Tripoli by
the Italian forces, squadron of Turk
ish torpedo boats and Italian cruisers
calshed off the coast of Prevesa, with
the result that two of the Turkish
boats were so badly damaged that
they were beached.
Aside from these stirring incidents,
there has been no real fighting and
but little bloodshed One of the main
reasons for this condition is the UNI
preparedness of Turkey for war. Her
people are divided on the issue of war
or peace, while her treasury is depict
ed, it being reported that the nation
must go to war with but about So
600 coo in her war chest.
The Turkish cabinet resigned when
war was declared, and new cabinet
has been formed, which it is hoped
will be able to handle the situation.
The most important naval capture
of the war so far is that of the Turk
ish transport Sabah, with a Turkish
general, a large consignment of
troops and much ammunition aboard.
Italy has sent note to the powers,
explaining at length her reasons for
beginning the war. Turkey has fol-
lowed with a note appealing to the
lowers to stop the war.

Turkish city.
The bombardment, bringing about
this epoch-making event in the worlds
history, was extended over more than
a day, with frequent cessation to give
the Turks an opportunity to surren-

loss of life. There were many fatali-
ties among the Turks, who heroically
defended their ancient fortresses, but
