HELIX UNCORKS AND WINS
GAME ON ATHENA ERRORS

Athena lost her opening conference
game to Helix school Tuesday after
noon, after winning the game by the
shut-out route, 6 to 0. Queer dope,
that, but it's a fact nevertheless, and
here's how it happened:
By agreement the game was to
go seven innings. 81 Hodgen, with
stable support of his team mates,
easily won the seven-inning contest,
with white-wash trimmings. Then the
coaches decided to extend the ses-
sion two more innings, making it a
regular nine-inning affair. Well and
good.
The eighth inning proved to be a
regular find for the Helix team, for
on choice collection of errors, stol-
en- bases and only two safe swats,
eight runs were registered. Right
there the game was salted down, for
Athena could only snare one run in
her part of the ninth, while Helix
collected one more. making the fin
al score to z.

orally of the accomplishments of that

merce banquet in Portland, his aud
itors, though perhaps noting the alb.
sence of United States Senator Stan
field from the festive board, little
dreamed that "plain words" had
passed between the guest of honor
and the junior senator just before the
dinner hour--plain words which hau
to do with the absence Of the senator
on that occasion.
Senator Stanfeld admits tnat Di.
rector Meyers attorney bore the mes.
sage to him that Meyer had said che
would not sit at banquet with Sen.
ator Stanfield where he would be
drawn into debate with him." OF
words to that effect.
Senator Stanfield also agrees that
"some plain words" were spoken by
him to Director Meyer during con-
ference which followed the receipt Of
that message, but the senator insists
that there was naught Of rancor OF
personal feeling in the pour parlers
between himself and the head Of the
finance corporation.
It is just the way the senator's have
in Washington, he says, where the
members of the upper branch of the
Legislature do not use words Of 'hid'
den diplomacy" in treating with the
heads of government departments
should occasion seem to require.

0..W. R. 8 n. BLAMED
FOR CAUSING WRECK
OF PASSENGER TRAIN
Interstate Commerce Commission
Finds Failure to Provide for
Safe Train Operation.

Severe condemnation for operating
officials of the o. w. R. & N. COM
pany for failure to provide safe meth
ods of train operation is pronounced
in the report Of Chief W. P. Borland
of the bureau of safety Of the inter-
state commerce commission on the
disastrous wreck near Cello, Oregon,
ON December last.
Blame is also attached to several
trainmen with particular censure for
Chief Night Dispatcher Walsh, who is
declared guilty Of "gross violation Of
rules and instructions" in issuing or
ders running an extra train against
the current of traffic with no excuse
except to save 40 minutes time.
"This accident was caused by fail
ure of Conductor Allison and Engine
man Allen of train No. 12," says the
report, properly to communicate with
the train dispatcher before leaving
the Oregon Trunk connection, and by
Night Chief Dispatcher Walsh issuing
train order giving extra No. 3211
the right to run against the current
of traffic from Biggs to the Oregon
Trunk connection without properly
protecting the movement.
"Sharing in responsibility for the
accident is Pilot Conductor Clark,
who by his actions led the crew Of
train No. IL to believe that he had
been authorized by the train dispatch
er to clear their train.
"The operating officials of the Ore
gon- Washington Railroad & Naviga-
tion company cannot be too oJseverely
criticized for their failure to provide
safe method cooperating trains
between Oregon Trunk connections
and Briggs. a3@
Z "This is not an isolated case involv.
, ing the improper handling of a single
train, but represents practice which
has grown up as result Of detour.
ing trains with considerable frequen-
cy.
, "These officials cannot escape their
responsibility in connection with this
accident on the ground that they were
ignorant Of these conditions and prac-
tices. 1t was their duty to know Of
them. The PRONUNCIATION Of rules and
instructions is but the smallest por-
tion Of their duties.
"0uly when they know that such
rules and regulations are being fully
complied with can they be said to
have discharged their duty"
