not 60 are now bemoaning their fail

meeting Greek. Both teams strength
ened weak places by imported ma
terial, and played for blood. The game
ran to fifteen innings and Conconully
won by score of 3 to 2. Among those
who helped Conconully to victory was
Zimmerman, who caught a few games
for the Oroville club, and Jess Davis,
the crack pitcher of the Penticton
club. Davis played in the field and
to sensational catch by him is due
Conconully's victory.
When it comes to the excursion act
commend us to the willingness of Oro-
vile people to turn out and go some
where. Sunday afternoon the Okano-
gan and Conconully ball teams played
off tie at the former place for the
championship of league composed
of Conconully, Okanogan, Omak Riv-
erside and Tonasket. Saturday some
of the fans about town trimmed up a
proposition to run an excursion train
to Okanogan to take in the game. The
railroad demanded a guarantee of 500.
Vic. Hagerman and Art Wickersham
stood good for the amount, but they
did not have to dig up to pay any de-
ficiency, for when the train Dulled out
of Oroville at 1890 Sunday afternoon
two coaches were pretty well filled.
Far more than the guarantee was in
sured, and the train picked up a num-
Der of passengers at Tonasket, River
side and Omak. That was the third
excursion that has been made up in
Oroville since the branch opened, and
in every instance the railroad received
the full amount demanded, and a great
deal more.

ACTER OF TUCKLOySKY,

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.--The name OF
Racine, Wis, was never lettered on
the map of the country In big black
and outstanding type until Richard
Tncklovsky had attained the age OF
three years, when he began his Grim
inal career. He Is six now. 1t cam
not be said that he failed to Improve
each shining hour" for against his
name there is a record of fifty ar
rests and 1t is conceded that he fairly
earned his reputation of "Racine's
Terror" whose exploits were printed
in the newspapers from one end of
the country to the other
But II Racine gained notoriety from
the criminal antics OF Richard. it also
deserves credit because the name
Richard has been morally rehabili-
tated through the good offices OF one
woman. Mrs. Katherine Boyd, Of No.
1925 Quincy avenue. Racine.
"Racine's Terror has disappeared.
The miracle happened when Mrs.
Boyd took the Wild boy from his mis-
cradle home into her own house,
where he has lived ever since. He has
become gentle. kind and effectionate,
and bids fair to become a useful citi-
zen, thanks to kind words which took
the place of blows.

hand he had just been sent to the
State reform school On a charge Of
stealing a purse containing $40 from
a woman, and a watch from man.
Besides, he had been charged at va
rious times with burglary, arson, high
way robbery and the indiscriminate use
of knives and pistols upon playmates,
adults and all unfortunate persons who
did not meet with his approval He
was indeed bad boy"
But Mrs Boyd thought there was
good in Richards heart, and she de-
termined to bring 1t out In The
World Of November %. 1913. there
was an intimation OF how well she
succeeded in a letter received from
her. On that occasion she wrote:
