GUARDS ARE EASY
 FOR HOLYOKE FIVE
MalcOlm-Feldman Combination Too Much for Local BaSketeerS

The Valley Phantoms Of Holyoke
 had no trouble In taking the Nation
 al Guards basketball team of this
 city into camp on the Holyoke floor
 and the result was that the locals
 were swamped under q A 10 25
 score. Early in the game, the Hol- | yoke five forged ahead to big lead
 and held it for the remainder of the game. The Malcolm-Feldman combina-
 ton. rated as the best forward duet in this section when the two play together. was in excellent condition for the battle and all through the game these two pulled spectacular
 shots, most of them of the long variety and the Guards were lost in a maze Of fast and shifty passes,
 The two were greatly aided by the playing of Crowley the guard who
 kept the New Britain forwards on
 the jump all night.
 The Guards are positive that all the good things said about Malcolm
 and F'eldman as 70 their playing in 1 their home town HclyoEe. are true. 1 The score at half nmc was 27 to l
 in Holyoke's favor.

(RY BILLY ENANSl

Baseball is filled with oddities. The eleventh season of Sam Rice'G big league career is one of them. Eleven years ago Sam Rice joined the Washington club as a pitcher. He had starred in the Virginia league and was regarded as q great prospect.
 Today Sam Rice is one of the greatest outficlders in the majors 1 Last season was by far the most brilliant of rather mcteoric career Rice came to, the Washington club in the flag end of 1915, so in reality lats year was his tenth full campaign.
 Great speed and ability 10 hit soon caused the Washington club tc , believe that Rice would prove more l valuable as an outtielder than a 1 pitcher.
 It was Rice himself who decided the question and it came about in q most peculiar manner. Things were breaking badly for him as a pitcher. He finally forced the Detroit club tc go extra innings. Pitcher George Dauss of the Tigers broke up the game with three base hit,
 I'm through as a pitcher" were the first words Rice uttered as he stepped into the clubhouse. I'm either an outlleldcr or nothing" Inside of year he had so de- velopcd that he was regarded as ono 1 of the leading outfelders in the olague. While not q sluggcr. Rice has always been dangerous at the bat.
 Man O War the fans call him in the national capital as tribute 10 his great speed. IL has not di- minished With age or service. | Always great outficlder Rice last season was one of the outstand. ing stars of the majors. In the world series the two veterans, Carey of Pittsburgh and Rice of Washing ton, carried off the outiielding 1 honors.
 A batting average of $50 last sea son, the heftiest of his career, played q prominent part in the winning ol the pennant by Washington. Rice was the clubs timeliest batsman.
 He continued his superlative work in the world series, hitting safely ir every game and getting total oi l2 hits for the series, tying the record held by Charley Herzog.
 While Rice is 34 years of age he Is always the perfectly conditioned athlete and there seems no gooc
 reason why he should not havo fou,
 more big years at Washington.
 Owner Clark Griffith of the Ma
 tionals is hoping so.

They won the first game Is 10 II from the Mechanics. The latter team frightened its defense and took the second. Is 10 2. The third and deciding game proved a pippin for action for both teams, well equipped with spikers, just drove and drove for placements until the score stood 12 all. Then the Me- chanics uncorked d series of passes and dazzling air burning drives that put the Commercials to rout with the Mechanics chalking up a victory. Is to 12, and they took the match.

DON'T FALL FOR
HOG. SCHEME
County Agent Warns All
Against Swine
Statesmen

At least four statesmen have
been trying to sell hogs to farm
ers in Yakima county during the
past week on a contract which will
bear careful consideration before
signing. Contract price for open
gifts is $500. No standard or
guarantee is given as to the type
of animals which will be received.
The purchaser must pay transpor-
tation on the animal and may be
required to pay for registration.
A boar must be purchased or
breeding fee Of $3.50 is charged
and transportation must probably
be paid by the farmer. The farmer
may expect to receive $25.00 for
all the gifts he raises from at
least the first two litters but they
must come up to standard satis-
factory to the company.
The plan of this contract is con-
sidered unfavorably by the agri-
cultural colleges Of Washington,
Oregon, Montana and Utah in let
ters received by the county agent.
The prosecuting attorney of this
county has advised that the con-
tract would at least be very hard
to enforce on the part of any
farmer not satisfied with the treat
ment he received.
The county agent would recon-
mend to those farmers contemplat-
ing the purchase of hogs that they
purchase such animals from breed
ers in their own state or nearby
states where animals of same type
and description, if not same breed,
may be purchased for from $4,000
to $45. The Washington Farmer,
Wallace's Farmer, The Drovers
Telegram and the Country Gentle
man have warned the farmers in
the past relative to this plan of
buying.
When salesman approaches
you for sale of this kind, note care
fully that the contract is not sub
ject to cancellation by the farmer
after signing and that no employe
/.
of the company is allowed to make
any alterations in the contract.
Better buy your hogs at home,
is the advice Of A. E. Lovett, coun-
ty agricultural agent.

RATES
ARE REDUCED
P. P. & L. Cuts Juice to
1Oc per K. w. In
Effect Now

A substantial reduction in the
power and light rate has just been
made by the Pacific Power G. Light
Co., affecting all the company's
territory in the state with the ex-
ception of Asotin county. The new
rate takes effect the first of Au-
gust and the biggest reduction is
in the lighting rate. Until now
the rate has been IL cents net per
kilowatt, which has been cut to
ten cents. Some Of the larger
towns on the system, which were
enjoying net ten cent rate, have
been cut to eight cents.
These reductions are being
made, according to Lester STRAIN,
local manager, pursuant to the
company's established policy of re-
vision its rates downward as often
and as rapidly as the condition Of
the business permits and are made
possible at this time by increases
in business during the past twelve
months and by substantial econ
omies which the company expects
to realize on the cost of operation,
principally on account Of more
favorable arrangements for pur-
chasing power.
The new schedules produce an
estimated reduction of $150,000
yearly in the. cost of electric SER
vice to the company's customers
in the state. 1t also recognizes the
expressed preference of the pa
irons Of the company for an easily
understood rate form.
In the power rate schedule a
change has been made which
should appeal greatly to the power
consumer. The fixed charge which
included no energy, has been en-
tirely eliminated. The new rate
will produce a substantial saving
to all customers operating under
normal conditions and offers an
additional attraction for the devel-
opement of larger power loads.
The old fixed charge will now en-
title the purchaser to that amount
of additional energy.
