Sunday In Seasons First
Base Bali Match
Score 1914.

The Nezperce and Russell base
ball teams opened the season here
Sunday with an exhibition of the
national game in which loose
playing was rather prominent
feature. This will be duly over
come, of course, as the season adj
vanees and the recruits are work

status. After the dust and fury
of the meet had subsidized suffi-
cietly to add up the results it was
found Nezperce had accumulated
16 runs and Russell IA. 1t was
not a pitchers battle.
The day was almost ideal for
base ball-possibly a little cool
and a modest sprinkling of fans
turned out and did right re-
spectacle job of roofing.
Nezperce had Shockley and
Gamble in the box and Schild-
knecht behind the bat, while
Schlader and Moser did the bat
terry stunt for Russell. Bob John
son umpired the meet.

Court House Grew Victor.

On Tuesday, III spite of the
chilling shower which came over
at the most inopportune time, the
Court House nine and the Town
Team put on a seven-inning ex-
hibition at the local grounds, the
former carrying off the honors
fairly easy, the score being 13 to
7. Great enthusiasm prevailed
during this contest, however, and
numerous surprise plays were
made by both sides. This game
demonstrated the fact that the
base bali spirit is very much alive
here. so much so that even the
chilling rain could not stop the
proceedings nor drive the enthus-
iastic bunch of spectators to shell
ter.
The result made the courthouse
crew trifle strutty and it win
be no surprise if they issue
challenge to all comcrs at an ear
ly date.

To have left those heroic dead,

be greater breach of faith with

ITO SEIZE BOOZE
ALONG BORDER
Liquor Entering U. S. Ports
Without Permits is subject
to Seizure, is Ruling

WASHINGTON, July 15:-Ship-
ment of intoxicating liquors entering
the ports of the United States or
crossing the Canadian or Mexican
borders without permits are supJect
to seizure by customs officers under
orders effective today. The orders
put in force a ruling by Attorney
General Palmer that transfers or
shipments were in violation of the
prohibition law. There is some I'M
certainty as to the effect of the ruiz
ing on liquor brought into American
ports by foreign ships under certain
circumstances, the officials declared,
adding that to clear up the points
another opinion would be asked.
It was asserted the custom service
wishes to know how 1t shall regard
liquor in bars of foreign passenger
lines hitherto considered as sea-
stores, also what attitude to adopt
in connection with liquors carried
oy foreign ships for use of crews
only and how the law applies to a
foreign ship which entered an Amer
lean harbor to coal and does not
make an entry with customs house.
Pending a further ruling officials
aid the customs regulations would
apply to cargoes of intoxicants which
we're intended for transshipment to
foreign destination.
