Five Youths Violate
Pool Hall Ordinance

Five minors were hailed before the
authorities last Saturday to answer to
the charge Of playing billiards and
lettering in billiard halls of the city.
The arrests were made by patrolmen
on Friday night and came as a result
of repeated violations of the ordi-
nance which prohibits minors loiter-
ing in such places of amusement. The
violators were let off with a lecture
after promising not to frequent such
places. The boys ages range from
1S to 20.
The youths of Roseburg were faced
with the same problem recently and
circumvented the ordinance by per-
suading the owner of pool hall to
turn his place of business into a club
which anyone could join by the. pay
ment of fee. The Roseburg boys
were then able to play billiards and
pool to their hearts content, as such
ordinances cannot be applied to pri-
vate clubs.

BAPTIST Church Notes.

Yesterday the Baptist church voted
to have Evangelist Bruce Evans some
to Ashland to hold a two weeks
meeting, to begin the evening of the
9th of May. Rev. w. H. Davis, pas
tor at Eugene, has said this OF Evan
gelist Evans: Bruce Evans is all
right. He pleased me better as an
evangelist than any one I ever had.
He is different from the ordinary and
stands out in a class all by himself.
He is unconventional and uses slang,
but he has such loving heart and
manner that people who curse him
when he comes bless him when he
goes"
Tonight Pastor Hicks will give his
lecture, Around the World"
Next Wednesday between the hours
of 1880 and the ladies of the Bap-
tist church will give a chicken dinner
in the basement of the church.

Leon Wins Sensational Game.

Before a record breaking crowd
Sunday the Leon baseball team tri-
umphed over their fast Grand River
opponents by the decisive score of I
to L. 1t was good clean game full
of sensational plays and the enthus-
iastic crowd appeared we'll satisfied
with the contest. The veteran Bert
Smith OF the locals opposed George
Moyes on the mound Smith pitched
beautiful game permitting only one
man to reach third base untilbthe fin
al inning, when with two out, mis-
Judged single ruined an apparent
shutout He was master of the situ-
alton throughout, sending seven
down by the strike out route, and
his timely double in the fourth sent
in the first score of the game. Moyes
also pitched good game and was
likewise accorded almost perfect sup
port. He weakened in the sixth,
however, when four runs were push
ed across off his delivery.
The Leon boys, playing an error
less game clearly outclassed their OPP
ponents and the best team won. Cred
it must be given the visiting players
as they were good clean bunch OF
fellows and put up a good brand of
ball.
Both teams were retired in order
the first three innings except for
pass to Watsabaugh, sacrifice sent
him to second but he was out at
third on an attempted steal.
The first hit of the game was with
two down in the visitors fourth, fol-
lowed by another single but both
runners died when Hupp struck out.
With one down in the locals
fourth Pickering tripled to center
field, Smith followed with a double,
sending Pickering home and the first
score Of the game. Brown ended
the inning by flying out. Lent was
hit in the Stats in the visitors sixth,
stole second but was out trying to
pilfer third.
Grimes opened the thrilling sixth
with clean single over third. Pick
ering went out. Smith was safe on
an overthrow, took second and both
runners scored on Lorey's infield
sacrifice. Brown followed with
single, scoring Lorey. Cocn follow
ed with hit but Brown was out at
the plate, C0en scoring a moment
later. Russell ended the inning by
grounding out. But the locals had
the game on ice.
In the seventh they came right
back and put two more runs across,
cinching the contest.
The visitors scored their only run
in the final inning on Heinz's intield
hit, his steal of second from where
he scored on pop fly to right. =@
Features of the game aside from
the pitching of Smith were Picker
ing's spectacular fielding and hitting,
Browns sensational catch of Heinz's
line drive and a moment later he
speared foul out of the crowd and
completed an unassisted double play.

Willis WILDER Crees.

Willis WILDER Crees was born
| March 26, 1871, near Grand River,
Iowa, died at his home in Decatur,
Iowa, June 25, 1915, being "A years,
2 months and 20 days old, having
spent all his life in Decatur county.
He was married to Anna c. kier,
February TO-. 1898, and to this union
we're born five children, Merle, Ruby,
Ada, Wilma and Michael, who togeth-
err with an aged father, two brothers
and three sisters and host of
friends, are left to mourn his untime-
ly death.
Mr.. Crees took sick on March 2,
1915, and continued to grow weaker
from day to day, and while his physi-
clans and family felt that he would
finally conquer his ailments and re-
gain his health, their hopes were dis
appointed and he answered the final
call, which comes to one and all.
He united with the United Breth-
rem church at the age of II and lived
true christian life until his death.
He was man who had no enemies
and was loved and respected by all
who knew him, and no good cause or
charitable requirement ever passed
him unnoticed. He was an unusual
sly hard worker and together with his
good family had accumulated consid-
cradle property and was arriving at
an age where he could retire from
hard work and take a rest, which he
so much deserved, when the Master
claimed him as His own. He was
travelling calmly and peacefully to-
ward the hilltop of life; accompanied
by a happy and unbroken family,
when he was confronted, overpower-
ed and destroyed by the reaper of
death.
Amid the suffering and thick
gloom of the present he could see the
brightness of the future that would
accompany his recovery and used ev-
cry effort, exerted every muscle, put
forth every atom of life's energy to
defeat his ailments but when he be-
gan to see that his efforts were fruit
less he met the inevitable end and
bowed to His still small voice with
the calmness and serenity in which
he performed his daily work.
Life is cold and barren peak be-
tween two eternities; we strive in
vain to look beyond the heights and
our only answer is the echo of our
wailing cry.
Upon the shadowy shore of death
the sea of trouble casts no wave.
Eyes that have been curtained with
eternal darkness will never know
again the touch Of tears. Lips that
have been sealed with the great seal
will never utter another word Of
grief.
