JUNE 6 is THE DATE
When the Fats and Leans VIII Meet
in Deadly Combat.

Monday, June 9-Paste it in your
hat-hang it on the walls of yudr
memory-tie a string around your
finger-write it on a piece Of paDer
and stick it under your tongue-lest
you forget the annual Fat and Lean
baseball game
1t is going to be a great game.
Harry Shropshire has been studying
up on squeeze plays and Texas lea
guers, and it is reported that he is
taking correspondence course in
How to Improve the Wind" One of
the leans had the audacity TO sug-
gest that he write to Heinz, who
makes speciality of canning a GER
tain kind of vegetable.
The Leans are perfectly confident.
Everyone has been put on a diet Of
wind pudding and unless a stiff
breeze shows up the day of the game,
the way they will run around the
bases would make a Tyrus Cobb en-
yious. Highballs and lowbaIIs will
be all the same to them. "Ohi 1t will
be awful, what Wen do to those fat
ones, say the Leans

This IS COMMENCE
MENT WEEK
Opens With Baccalaureate Ser.
mon-Sixty Eighth Grade
Graduates.
Baccalaureate Sermon.

DIR. w. ]. Boone, president of the
College of Idaho, preached the bac-
calaureate sermon Sunday evening in
the Methodist church. His text was
taken from the 18th chapter of Ro-
mans: 81 beseech you, therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of God that
We present your bodies living sacri-
flee, holy, acceptable unto God, which
is your reasonable sacrifice"
DIR. Boone is far from being an ora
tor. But he is deep thinker, an
earnest speaker and possesses the
faculty of presenting truths in con-
vincing manner, and his address was
listened to with close attention. The
individual to become an acceptable
sacrifice, the speaker said, must be
well born. He deplored the action of
the last legislature in defeating the
marriage bill. Men and women weak
in mind and weak in body should not
be allowed to marry. The farmer
strives in every way to secure for the
parents of his young stock animals of
approved pedigree and sound bodies,
but no attention is given to securing
for the offspring of the human race
parents who are sound in mind and
body. He pleaded with parents to in
form their children of the laws of
generation and the duties of mother
hood and fatherhood.
The indivual should be well nourish-
ed, be educated and have religion. Thus
will he become living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable to God, which is reason
able sacrifice.
The church altar was beautifully
decorated with flowers and vines and
sweet music was furnished by a spe-
cial choir, feature of which was a
solo by Mrs. Newcomer.

sHEEPMAN BADLY INJURED
Sam Little's Collar Bone Broken
When Horse Falls With Him.

Sam Little suffered broken collar
bone and other painful injuries when
a horse he was riding fell Sunday at
Mr.. Little's Crane creek ranch. He
came to town Sunday night and on
Monday went to Boise for medical
treatment. Up to that time he had
not been examined and the extent of
his injuries was not known.
The accident occurred while Mr..
Little was chasing a coyote. Ills
horse, which enjoys running wolf
down as much as Sam does himself,
was racing at full speed when its
foot slipped and it fell. Sam was
thrown about 20 feet. He fell on one
side of his head and shoulders, and
was unconscious for sometime now
long, he does not know.

score after score and when they tele-
phoned to town to learn the cause of
such commotion they learned that
the Hartley's had been taken down
from their high perch to the tune of
II to 9. And from Friday till Tues
day the Methodists were strutting "a
round town as proud as peacocks.
They were seen on every corner at all
hours of the day and night and were
always willing and ready to tell you
how the Methodists cleaned up the
Red Warriors. But Tuesday it rain
ed. But that story will be told later.
The Methodist-Hartley fun opened
in the first inning. After two men
had been put out, Lou Obermeyer
was hit by a pitched ball and took
first. Geopfarth was allowed to walk
and Henry Obermeyer followed in his
brothers steps. With the bases full

In the third three more scores wer-
annexed. In the fourth, after two
runs were made, Slate took McMil-
lan's place in the box and tried to
stem the tide, but the Methodists
refused to stop and in the Sixth in

at the ball in that fatal third inning
With a little more experience he will
be up with the best Of them
Beecher Slate will continue to pitch
for the Hartleys, reports to the con-
trary, notwithstanding. He will play
with Payette in the Idaho-Oregon
league in schedule games
Murphy has novel way of stopping
grounders, at which he is an adept.
He turns his back on the hot ones,
receives them on the southwest cor
ner of his anatomy, picks up the ball
and slams it to first in time generally
to catch the runner He should pat
ent the modus operandi.
Beecher Slate made his second home
run of the season in Fridays game.
But it wasn't earned, as it was too
dark for the felders to see it. He
failed in another inning to stretch
into a homer, being nip
ped at the plate by a fine throw in
from the field.

Fall Planting a Success.

The splendid condition of the 16O-
acre orchard of DR.. Gaebler's, which
was set out last fall, has demonstrat-
ed the success of fall planting. The
loss of apple trees is not to exceed 5
per cent, and the prune loss is so
small as to hardly be noticed, accord
ing to Superintendent j. R. Hunter
and his assistant Harry Chadwick.
The trees are in fine condition as is
also the ground.

third inning the Methodists made the
first double play of the season, when
Bladen grounded to Howard Slate
with Beecher Slate on first, Slate
threw to second, who doubled to first,
putting both men out
The Hartleys scored three runs
in the first, one in the fourth, two in
the fifth and three in the sixth.

for the cellar championship. Happen
ing to look across the street he saw a
big circus poster. A horrible suspi-
cion entered his head. He immediate
ly donned his hat and rushed out to
take the roll-call of the Presbyterians
And he found that two of their ball
players were missing. But whisper
it low and softly. These two ball-play-
ers had quietly slipped out of town
and were at the Sells-Floto circus at
Payette. He Immediately called a
conference with Parker and Holverson
and Munday and Policy and whisper
ed to them the awful facts of the case.
They tried to get the Methodists to
postpone the game until the two wan
derers could be brought back into
camp. But there was nothing doing
"Play ball" was the ultimatum And
they played ball. They hammered
Slate for singles and doubles galore,
they ran to first, stole second and
third in utter abandon and when the
Methodists looked around they came
home, Then they repeated, until
six scores had been safely chalked
up.
The Methodists opened at bat, with
Laurel Wells pitching for the Pres
byterians. Knowles, the first man
up scored on hits by Murphy and Car
ter, and Murphy also scored. One
more score was annexed in the Sc
cond inning. and that ended their
run getting. Wells was wild but eff
fective. He hit three batters, Knowles
getting two of them, and struck out
eight. The only hit recorded against
lim was single by Lou Obermyer
