PAPS OPEN 2ND HALF WITH WIN
 OVER DOUGLAS
M C Nam ee Gives M pose Winning Edge with flor1-
 CT, Hurls Back Douglas

Maintaining their winning stride through the opening game ot thf second half of the Gastineau Chan mel League seasca, the Moose base ball team yesterday wiped off tfc sign marked on them in their last few battles against the DcuglAs Islanders to send the firSt-hall champs back across the Channe with the short end of an Ci h.-to- nine tally.
 Grabbing off a wide Lad il tllS early innings, the Moose faioeieu to let the Islanders step up on even terms with them in the sixth frame Rallying again in the last of that inning, however, the Paps battered their way back to a two-run lead then fought off another Douglas assault in the first of the seventh to win their way through by a one marker margin.
 Two doubles, one of them cred ited to Snow when Erskine lost his high fly in the wind, plus three walks and Haglunds bunt, further aided by Jimmy Manning's wild heave placed the Paps on the win ming road with four-run start ir the opening inning. Then, after being repulsed by the Islanders in the second and third frames, the Moose added another three count CTS in the fourth, to total up a seven-run edge Haglund's walk, fol- lowed by singles off the bats ot McNamee and Snow, and passed ball charged to Grant accounted for the Moose markers in the fourth session.
 2 Runs-Errors
 After holding the Islanders com pletely in check for the first fotl innings, the Moose threw theil fielding form clear away in the first of the fifth, gave their opponents two runs on errors, to which Jimmy Manning added two more tallles with his homer over the grand stand in left. In the first of the sixth, only Fritz Schmitz' unassist- ed double-killing at second called a halt to a determined Island assault that netted three runs to deadlock the score. More Moose errors, com bined with a walk and Manning 2 single did the damage.
 Brought down to even terms, the Moose then turned loose the power in the last of the sixth and used McNamee's homer and Shows walk and steal, plus a Douglas bloomei to run their total to the final count

 Johnny Smith, opening Pap pitch CT. allowed the Islanders another run in the first of the seventh on doubles by Grant and Rogers, then turned the chucking chores over to Joe McNamee, who shut out the lads from across the Channel in the final two innings.
 McNamce Stars
 McNamee, besides whiting five of the seven hitters to face him while on the mound, used his five trips to the plate to drive in two of the Moose runs and score three others himself, on one homer, one double and two singles, for full days work He had plenty of bat ting opposition, however, from Island thirdsacker Jimmy Manning who also collected four hits, one of them a four-baser, in five times up.
 Both Lefty Smith, and Dave Turn CT who went the route for Douglas, suffered from poor support in the field in addition to facing plenty of poison at the plate The Islanders uncovered an able-appearing first baseman in newcomer Wallace Rog- CTS, who held forth on the initial sack while Manager Andrews did his brain and throat work from the bench.

THE six months grand jury that has
functioned at four terms of Vance

elaborate, and gave attention t. vir-
tually all county institutions. It said
jails, the State highway prison camp,
the Scott Parker Sanatorium, the
county home, the public schools and
the court house. Notice was paid to
the extensive renovation now in pro-
gress at the court house, and COM
mendation was expreSse for the man
agement of the other institutions, in
GLIDING the Jail, where an addition is
now being provided and is nearly
completed.

tons in several of the city schools,
which have claimed attention of the
grand jury before, will be improved
and corrected before the schools open
in the fall, the jury said it had been
informed.

Again an unknown night proWler
has entered a Henderson home, this
time the home of j. G.. Tolson, drug
gist, on Rowland street, being visited
by an intruder, who was discovered
in the house by Miss Mae Garland
Tolson about 3 o'clock this morning.
The man fled out of the front door,
sleaving cheap soft straw hat; which
police have in their possession.
This is the third time within the
past several days home in the city
has been visited during the night by
an intruder. The home Of j. w. Jen-
klns, on Gholson avenue was visited
several days ago, and this week, the
home of T. p. Rideout, on Andrews
Avenue, was visited, the robber get
ting money from the pockets of Mr.
Rideout.
Entrance to the Tolson home was
gained by removing screen from
kitchen window. Police think the man
used an ice pick to remove a catch,
only small hole being made in the
screen wire. The screen was removed
from over the window, placed by the
side of the house. A previous attempt
to enter a. dining room had failed.
The intruder entered the house, open
ed the rear and front doors, and was
surprised in the living room by Miss
Tolson.
Mrs. Tolson heard the intruder in
the house, but did not investigate
the noise, thinking it some member
of the household.
Mr.. Tolson had been up and around
in the house about 2 o'clock taking
medicine to relieve pain from an
aching tooth, and was sound asleep
at the time the intruder was discov
cred. sr@
AS soon as the prowler was discov-
cred, he dashed out the front door,
the nearest exit. It was too dark to
definitely establish the color, but
the man was thought to be about six
feet tall
