by the score of 8 to 6 in a, hard
played game. The game was
we'll played throughout although
the weather conditions were not
very favorable. Play was sus-
pended in the 4th inning on ac
count of rain but was resumed
as soon as the rain passed al
though cold north wind con
tinued.
Wilson, pitching for Spring

and with good field support was
effective at all stages OF the game.
There was no balloon ascension"
in the pinches and he never failed
to locate the plate. Our friend
Holmes, behind the bat was true
as steel and Wes Gray at second
was by far the happiest and hard
est worker of all while Scar
borough at short failed not in his
attempts to amuse the fans. The

A ribute from the Traffic

The fact that the Champion of Fair Play the
retail liquor dealers Journal in it's last weeks ISSUE
devoted three and half columns of the first and ed-
toria pages to articles in opposition the work of
the Anti-Saoon League is of the best tributes we
could to the effectiveness of the Leagues
work. This is of the "enemes themselves being
the judges" If they did not believe that the Anti
Saloon League terror to their traffic. they would
not give two whole columns the first page of
their paper and column and half on the editorial
page together with editorial material BESIDES to
attack upon the League.
One of their articles has caption, "Why Fear
the Anti Saloon Lacquer" and yet they place the
articles in of the leading columns in effort to
make themselves believe, or rather in an effort to
make some of the who give and guard legsla-
ton believe that the Anti-Saloon League should
be seriously considered.
But why should this journal not use its space to
fight the Anti-Saloon League? That is the purpose
of the paper. The Anti-Saoon League stands today
as the liquor trafics most hated and feared enemy
and the work of the temperance agencies throughout
the is we'll worth while if for no other reason
than the trouble they causing the liquor traffic.
