FIELDING WAS RAGGED
Twenty-Five Errors Made by Two
Teams-Waiker Pitches Great
Ball for Trinityites and
Allows But Ten Hits.
Church League Standing.


Trinity Methodist church team Dat
ted out four runs in the first inning
of yesterdays ball game with the
aptist church. The McAllisterites
came back in the second and third,
tying the score by hitting when hits
meant runs. In the last half of the
third the Methodists sewed it up by
pounding out four more runs, doub-
ling their count
The fielding was the poorest exhi-
bition in any church league game
this season. The Baptists booted the
ball all over the field. Tuttle and In
man, who played successfully at Sec
ond base, together kicked away six
chances. In all the club made some
fifteen errors, a total that seems
likely to stand for some time in the
church league. The disciples of John
Wesley booted nine chances. Benner
was responsible for three of these,
but he more than atoned for them by
stellar unassisted double play, that
cut short a threatening rally OF the
opposition.
The Methodists found knowles and
Lumbergs shoots for seventeen safe
ties, while the Baptists were able to
Gull ten bingles from Walkers shoots.
Walker pitched fne ball and would
have let down his opponents without
a run had he received good support
Walker struck out six men. He
helped win his own game by circuit
swat over the fence.
Rev. McAllister at first base, ca
vorted like major Lacquer. He ac-
copied six chances, with but one er-
ror, and fielded his position in fine
cfyIo His hating ewes proved to be
undimmed by age. as he found Pitch
er Walker for two Of the Baptists'
hits. He was at bat four times, and
got to first hree times. He made but
two hits, but got on once when
Walker, to avoid the danger OF long
clout on the pastors part, in an at
tempt to give him a base on balls,
struck him.
Keith Crown umpired the game.
His decisions were fair, and little
wrangling marred the contest.

CATTLE RUN IS
CHECKED IN MARKET
Prices Still GOOd-HOgs Are Com
manding Steady Prices-Sheep Weak
Wool Prospects Good.

The cattle run of the last month
seems to have been checked, says the
Portland Live Stock Reporter of last
Thursday. Receipts this week are
about 700 head to date against 1900
head last week. Tuesday found sew
eral hundred head on the market of
the fair variety and found good sale.
Most stock and feeding cattle were in
good demand Wednesdays market
consisted of only few loads of thin
COWS and steers, which went at steady
prices.
Tuesday showed another light run
of hogs going at steady prices Tops
sold at $500. With only a small run
yesterday it was a repetition of the
previous days market.
The sheep trade continues to meet
reverses. Prices on NEST all sales an
other quarter lower. Receipts continue
liberal each day Demand continues
very light.
In the opinion of some, the Mexican
situation which has recently devel-
oped will tend to boom the market,
and it is thought that even though the
trouble lasts only short time, it will
be necessary to prepare for it and
that medium woods will be in great de-
mands 1t is we'll known that the days
are hot in Mexico, but, on the other
hand, the nights are cold and blank
cts and uniforms made of wool will be
needed. The cotton khaki, moreover,
is not so durable as the wooden khaki.
