DALLAS H|GHAGA|N
IS VICTOR
McMINNVILLE DEFEATED II TO
GIN FRIDAYS CONTEST.
Game is Slow and Featureless With
Exception of Triple by Pritchard
Bevens Makes Good Record.

I'm a ragged and exceedingly slow
exhibition of the national game, the
sturdy athletes of Dallas High van
quished the McMinnville conteuders
ON the base ball diamond at the lat
ter city on Friday, TO the tune Of ] j
10 6. Outside of a fierce wallop by
Pritchard in the eighth which per
mitted him 10 attach himself to the
third sack before the ball was re-
turned, and which netted the team
two scores, the game was featureless.
Bevens opened the game for the
Dallasites ON the mound, and did
very well until the fourth stanza
when the Yamhillers found his de-
livery for three bingles and one
score. BaTham, who had been warm
ing the bench in anticipation Of the
next davis contest with Salem, was
sent to the box in the fifth and
straightway proceeded 10 Whit the
first three up. Barham was then
sent 10 left garden replacing Ma
theny, and Bevens again opened the
battery work. He got along all
right until the seventh when twC

Minnville aggregation three runs. Al
this point the Dallas manager order

City Council Would Enforce Ordin.
ances Regarding Drinking By
Minors and Others.

Decisive efforts to enforce all city
ordinances, especially those regard
ing the curfew provisions and the
better regulation of restaurants and
the other matters were undertaken
at the council meeting last night fol
lowing a suggestion by Councilman
Hayter that the city officials make
a more determined stand i'll these
matters. He said that the curfew
ordinance should be enforced and
the night policeman should not con-
fine his efforts simply to ringing the
bell but should see that all minors
are off the streets after that hour
He also wanted the ordinances rela-
tive to intoxicated persons more rig
idly enforced and thought that the
police should remove all such per-
sons from the public streets when
ever discovered.
In this connection Mayor Van
OrsdeI suggested that, if the regular

TO Regulate City Restaurants

police officers could not attend to
this matter as it should be handled
that a number of private persons be
appointed as special officers to serve
without pay in keeping the boys off
the streets at night.
To Regulate Restaurants.
Councilman Gohrke declared that
something should be done toward
regulating the restaurants of the
city. He said that he had seen mi
nors drinking beer and other intoX-
icating liquors in certain restau-
rant after midnight, and at other
hours. He also declared that in GER
tain confectionery stores he had seen
young boys playing cards late at
night and he thought that the otfic-
ials should take these matters in
hand.
Mayor Van Orsdel also took a
hand in the discussion and suggested
that the proper manner to handle
this question was to arrest the pro
prietors of such places so offending
and fine them heavily. He thought
that this action would have ten
dency to regulate the conduct of the
place in future.

FEAR TROUBLE MAY ENsUE
Medical Men Fear Practical Work
ings of New State Law.

That there is abundant opportunity
for trouble in obeying the new state
law which goes into effect early in
June relative TO medical certificates
for permits to marry, is the eOnten-
tion of physicians. Under the terms
of the law. before the county clerk
NAV issue a marriage license, the
applicant must furnish medical
certificate signed by a practicing
physician. declaring that the appli-
cant Is free from disease and sound
in mind and body. Physicians de-
clare that it Is often impossible TO
comply literally with the provisions
of this law and that they may be
laving themselves liable when they
issue the certificate for the reason
that often the applicant may be af-
ficted with disease and still have no
SYMPTOMS when examined.
County Clerk Robinson has for
warded to all the physicians in the
county the proper blanks for the
necessary medical certificates.

FANS TO SEE WkGNER'S NIT
Relics Of Great Player Of Pittsburgh
Wanted for Carnegie Museum
on His Retirement.

Baseball is at last recognized as
something worth telling posterity
about. In fact, 1t is going to be pre-
served in concrete form for the bene-
fit of unborn eyes to gaze upon.
That is. if Honus Wagner. the high
flying Dutchman OF the Pirates, will
consent to his part of the deal, name
ly, the rendering Of his painless glove
and his uniform to the Carnegie mu-
scum when he retires from the dia-
mond.
DR.. w. ]. Holland, director Of the
museum, announced the other day that
il was the desire of the institution to
secure from Honus his baseball accou-
trements when he has at last retired
from the game, the same to be placed
among the relics of other Nstin-
guished and skillful men who have
gone before.
Doctor Holland said that the achieve
ments OF all great and skillful men and
the games in which they were skilled
were handed down to posterity from
the past ages, and there was no reason
why Wagner should not be SO honored.

ERROR MADE BY CLEVELAND
Bill Bernhard and Not Lajoie Should
Have Been Appointed Manager
of Team In 1905.

Had William Bernhard been APP
pointed manager OF the Cleveland club

would have won the American league
pennant."
The above statement was made by
Charley Carr, manager of the Kansas
City ball club, the other day
When the Cleveland club manage
ment appointed Lajoie as manager in
1906" said Mr.. Carr, 1T made seri-
Gus mistake to my way of thinking.
Not that Lajoie was not competent
man for the position, but because it did
not result in the harmony necessary
on team to make 1t a pennant win
ner. do not want to infer that Lajoie
was not able to handle the affairs or
to keep the men in line. for every one

RESERVE RULE IS ESSENTIAL
So Says John Montgomery Ward, Old.
Time Ball Player-Nccded to
Maintain National Game.

John M Ward, who probably know
as much about the workings of base
ball as anyone, having been player
as well as magnate, says: "The re
serve rule is essential. 1t must be kept
in effect to maintain. baseball. When
the brotherhood was organized the
fight made by the players was against
salary limit. The contract in those
days contained a clause which reserved
player without his consent But
things are different now. The modern
contract includes an agreement by the
player to permit his employer to exer-
else an option on his services for the
ensuing year. II It weren't for the
methods employed by organized base
ball the players would not be drawing
such large salaries. The national
agreement and the national commits
sion are bulwarks OF the game. Should
they be abolished players who are de
handing $4,000 would be forced TO &C
cept 81. 500 instead."'

LOYAL FANS OF WASHINGTON
Never Promise Themselves Much and
There 10 No Reaction From This
Happy Condition.

The remarkable success that Clarke
Griffith has had with the Washington
team this season has set all the ex-
perts to doping out the reason there
for and they are telling that 1t Is be-
cause the "Old Gray Fox" understands
pitchers and knows just when to use
them and relieve them; or that 1t Is
that he knows baseball and has fac
ulty of imparting that knowledge; or
that he has the spirit that inspires
young players. And few other rea-
sons. However, Griff can't be pre-.
sumed to have gained all these talents
since the first of April; he must have
had them last year-and he couldn't
win at Cincinnati. Therefore, IL We
are permitted, 1t is suggested that
there are two psychological elements
In his success with Washington, says
the Sporting News. One is that Grit.
fifth Is back in the company he enjoys
and the other is the difference in
spirit between Washington and Cincin-
natl. In Redland they demand and
promise themselves a pennant each
spring. When the demand is not met
and the promise fiattens out they
"grump." In Washington they take the
other course. They never promise
themselves much there and II Is
happy condition which has no reaction.
Aside from these elements Griffith also
has a real ball team, which counts for
something In itself.

MUCH LEGISLATION OF VALUE
Anti-TubercuIosis Workers Have Rea
son to Be Satisfied With Laws
Passed in 1918.

Out of Al state legislatures in SEES
dealing with tuberculosis were enacted
in 80 states. while in "a states consid
Grafton w"s given to bills dealing with
the prove: ton of this disease. This
is summary OF the legislative cam
paign for 1913, issued by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis. Appropriations
to the amount Of over $5000.000 have
been set aside for the treatment and
prevention of tuberculosis by the vari
Gus legislatures in session this year.
In addition to these, congress will be
obliged to set aside nearly $1,000,0OO
for the maintenance T the United
States public health, the army and
navy sanatoria, and the tuberculosis
hospital of the District OF Columbia.
Among the notable advances in the
legislative enactments of this year. are
the tuberculosis registration law OF
Colorado; laws providing for subsidies
to local hospitals in Minnesota and
Wisconsin, an act providing for the es-

were not working together as they
should have done. The man who could
have had perfect harmony on the team
was Bill Bernhard, for every man liked
him and would have worked his head
off for him. 1t was Lajoie himself who
would have liked to have seen Bill in
charge, for he stuck to him like bro
tier. 1t may not be known outside,
but when Lajoie signed up with the
Cleveland club for long period II
was with the understanding that Bill
Bernard was to be there and never re-
ceive cent less than any other pitch
or in the club. That is how strong
orry was for Bill.
ITO my mind the Maps that year
had one of the strongest ball teams
ever got together. but 1t was lack OF
harmony that prevented them from
winning the pennant."
