Within Half a Game from Top as Portland De-
 feats Los Angeles
(By Associated Press)

Portland's ninth-inning massacre over Los Angeles last night and Seattle's massacre of the crippled San Francisco outfit put Seattle within half a game of the leader ship in the Pacific Coast League. San Francisco, with the crippled and sick players, made six errors and Seattle booted the ball all over the field. Three of the San Fran cisco errors are charged to Catcher Joe Spring who was attempting to fill an outfield post.
 Portland's victory came on a single by Harry Rosenberg and a wild throw plateward by First Base man Collins that allowed two runs after trailing most of the game. San Diego is back in the fifth spot, beating Oakland, and displac ing Hollywood which lost to Sacra- mento.

Moose Fall One Run Short as Purple Sox Win
 Thriller 5 to 4

Staying off last inning rally, the Elks won from the Moose last night, 5 to to again take over the league lead with half game over the Paps.
 Red Gray started chucking for the Elks, and with his teammates getting one run in the first and one run in the second, held the Moose scoreless until the fourth inning.
 Foster scored the first run of the day with long homer over center field fence onto the wing of the Government Hospital.
 In the second inning, Peterson walked and went to second on Ad- dleman's sacrifice, then to third on B passed ball, coming across the rubber when A bra h mson hit through shortstop.
 Moose tied the score in the fourth when Joe Snow sent another ball over the fence into Government Hospital property with Fred Mar quardt aboard
 Coming back, the Elks scored three runs. Hautala singled to cen ter, Gray walked, Ellensburg slap ped out single and scored Haut- ala, Foster singled through short, scoring Gray and Ellensburg.
 Guns were quiet until that almost disastrous seventh inning, then.
 Blake, first man up. was hit by a pitched ball. Then big Bob Kim ball, who went in for Smith, rapped out single that Schmitz followed with a long drive that filled the bases.
 Foster came in from third then to relieve Red Gray, who had pitch ed fine ball, but was definitely tired.
 Haglund, first man to face Eos ter, struck out for the. first out. Then Marquardt earned walk and Blake was forced home with a run.
 Joe Snow, following Marquardt, flied out to left field, and then Foster hit Orme with a pitched ball and another run was forced across. Werner grounded out. and the ball game was over with the winning runs on the bases.
 Those two home runs by Foster and Snow, far across the creek. were spectacular enough. but looking at the scoreboook and Marquardt's work, tells better story.
 Freddie, playing shortpatch for the Moose in professional style, hit three out of three last night to make him the leagues leading hitter with a .452 average In the last eight trips to the plate, he has scored seven hits.
 Next Monday night the Elks and the Moose will play off their post poned game. If the Moose win, they again will lead the loop by half game, but with baseball always an unknown equation, it is inter- esting to see that if the Moose do win, they can also take dumping from Douglas when that postponed game is played off. and put the Elks and the Moose in tie.
 Tomorrow afternoon, the Moose and Douglas open the second half of the season.

KISSING THE BOOK.

Federal judge Wyche, of South

Judge Wyche was told that there
had been before a recent session OF

statute calling Tor a Bible oath ;
but that the measure failed OF enact
ment.
If somebody had been sufficient
ly interested, the Judge could have
been informed that some few months

Chapel Hill a couple of alleged boot
leggers were discharged from Gus
todv and their several scores OF pints
returned to them because the Of

were entered did not kiss the book

North Carolina would hold onto {
custom so lacking in sanitation as
calling for witnesses to imprint then
lips upon common volume. 1t IS oul
notion that the judge was kidding
us, for he is OF mature years and has

fancy he does-that most of the wit

out that establishment of a new mar
ket is not assured because answers
are received from that particular
area; but added that without an
sWers containing the desired infor-
nation it will be impossible to de-
termine what areas do need new
markets.
BASED upon the consolidated in
formation obtained from these ques-
tlonnaires, the Department proposes
to develop system Of aiding those
markets now in existence and to
bring about the exchange of products
between them. Etheridge said. eve

The governor has termed the mar
ketlng Of North Cardinals agrlcui-
tural products as perhaps the most
important one which the State is
faced. Since he took office in 1897
commissioner of Agriculture Kerr
Scott has time and again reiterated
his belief that better 0alallvtu ul..1-
Ketlng program is the states greatest
agricultural need.
Another supplement to the pro-
gram designed to facilitate MARKET
ing work, Etheridge points out, will
ne market news service which will
contain the latest daily and weekly
price information on agricultural
commodities.
The market news service has en-
JOyed sLeaQy growth since it was in
augurated by the commission less
than two years ago. The news release
are sent to farmers and merchants
free upon request.
There is no indica ton that plans
to establish new markets or to ex-
tend facilities Of the present ones will

When our existing neutrality law

After that, if the Germans sink one

your own law your ship-oWners are
heavily penalized by fine, imprison-
ment or both, from sending Amer
lean craft into our fighting zone. We
