While the fraternity wishes TO 20 on

PARTING
SHOTS !:
THE OLD, OLD STORY.

Eight little Pennant Buds
Started in the race,
Seven held the stride in May,
When Sallee fell from grace.
Fuckers arm acquired a kink
Rubbers couldn't fix;
Daubert took batting slump,
And then there were six.
Six brightly shining Hopes
Faced the grind and drive;
Wagner tripped on second base,
And then there were FIVE.
Five met the mid-Junc heat,
Whiting, sick and sore;
Herzog got the rinky. dink,
And then there were four.
Four staggered on the way,
Evers's talk flowed free;
Umpire put him on the bench,
And then there were three.
Three passed the halfway post,
Aching through and through;
Heinie Tim went on a tear,
And then there were two.
Two clinched on Labor Day,
Battle almost won;
Alexander cracked and fled,
And then Matty began warming
Up to meet Baker and Collins.
The first clash between organized
baseball and the outlaws was not such
q rout after all. Several fans came out
to sec the ceremonies in Baltimore.

WOULD AFFECT SALEM

The supreme court this morning heard
arguments in the suit against Mayor
Albee over the eight-hour law in which
it is sought to settle just who are with
in, or without the operation of the
law. The suit was brought, or rather
complaint was filed on the criminal
side accusing Mayor Albee and the off.
cials Of Portland Of violating the law
against employing labor more than 8
hours in any one day. 1t is friendly
suit to get the opinion of the supreme
court on the matter, the city Of Port
land contending that its firemen and
policemen are not laborers within the
intent of the law, and that they there.
fore can work longer than eight hours.
1t is claimed that the expense Of
running the city would be increased
enormously should the court hold the
law applied to city employees such as
named. All the cities Of the state are
interested in the case as they will all
be compelled to make new and costly
arrangements for policing and giving
their people fire protection if the case
goes against Albee. The decision will
also settle the matter Of employees at

Bundy's Fate is
in Jury's Hands
Youth Who Slew Boy to Get His Money
Is Bitterly Denounced as Fiend.
by Prosecutor.

Los Angeles, CAL, Jan. 3O.-The fate
Of Lewis Bundy, youthful slayer Of
Harold Ziesche, was given into the
hands of jury shortly after noon to-
day. The closing arguments of the at
torneys occupied but little time when
the trial was resumed, and the jury
had retired before the crowd in the
court room was aware that the trial
was over.
For the state Deputy District Attorney
Veitch branded Bundy a fiend, and de-
clared that the murder of Ziesch was
premeditated and inhuman. Earl Rog-
ers, for the defense, held society re-
sponsible for the crime, arguing that
Bundy had been made mentally unsound
by cigarette and over-indulgence in ath-
letics He demanded second degree
verdict.
Bundy, who is 10 years old, killed
ziesch, who was 10, on Christmas eve.
By means of telephone call for medi-
cine at the pharmacy, where Ziesch
was employed as a messenger, he lured
the boy, with 500 change to lonely
spot, and beat him to death with a pick
handle and a rock. He wanted the mon
ey, he said, to buy Christmas present
for girl.
