It began with a. baseball game be tween the teams of the Bricklayers' Union and Carpenters' Local, 808. The feature of the game was easily the fine battery work of the Boland broth ers, for the Bricklayers, M. Boland, pitcher, and W. Boland, catcher. Hanson Knocks Homer. The Bricklayers began with an as sault on the slants of twirler Weaver, of the Carpenters, in the first inning, which netted them . three runs. The rest of the game was a canter for the Bricklayers, who took advantage of the poor shpport behind Weaver,' who hurled a heady, consistent game, to pile up a score of 16 to 0 by the seventh inning, when the game was called. ' A thriller in the final Inning was a sensational stab of a fly in center field by Scanlon. of the Bricklayers, who saved Boland from losing the glory of a shutout victory. M. Hausen knocked a home run with one on base. The summary of the game: R. H.E. R. H. E. Brlckl'y'rs 1 12 . 4jCarpenters. 0 2 15 Batteries M. Boland and W. Boland; Weaver and Stapleton.

Probably the most ex citing event of the day was the tug-of-war contest. The husky team of the Structural Ironworkers, led by F. Nel son, their captain, had made the boast that they could pull the team or any other union in Portland out of Its cleats. They did it, too, but they had to work to do it. The ironworkers first outpulled the bricklayers in two minutes and ten seconds. Then the carpenters and boilermakers pulled against each other. the carpenters winning in an exciting struggle. The hard rooting or Mrs, Welthy Wilson, of Montavilla. who has worked for organized labor for 16 years and now has two strapping sons one a carpenter and the other a painter was a big encouragement to the carpenters. In the final, the ironworkers out pulled the carpenters after a five min utes' struggle. The winning team is composed of F. Nelson, captain; E. A. Moe. anchor man; J. Dully, W. D. Mc- Clane. L G. Williams, W. B. Porter, J. W. Girard, W. Seeburger, F. Sands and H. Brown. Sports Provide Merriment. There was lots of run and some mighty fine throwing in the women's baseball-throwing contest. Mrs. J. T. Emert, of 6S0 Bidwell street, captured first prize by a hurl of more than 100 feet. The egg race for married women was a thriller. After three heats, Mrs. Emert won this contest also. The ef forts of tha women, to. keen -the eggs In the spoons as thev ran caused many i a V i Of i. ? . K -f . t . I laughs. Hardly less funny was the men's egg race. Any man who thinks it easy to run 25 yards with an egg in a spoon should try it. It was pretty hard on eggs, for several impatient racers kicked their's ferociously when they rolled out of the spoons. The fat men's race, the three-legged race, and the potato race, all furnished equal amusement. One of the real fea tures, however, was the sprinting abil ity displayed by a little 10-year-old girl from Beaverton, Nellie Boland,' who outran far larger girls and won second prize in the girls' 75-yard race. Field Manegement Praised. Joe Reed was in charge of the -programme on the field and much of the success of the day was due to the man ner In which he managed the events. A. E. Hall, of the Hod Carriers' Union, made a particularly efficient an nouncer. One of the features of the parade was the showing made by the black smith's union. Every man was attired in a striking costume of black cap and shirt and brown smithy's apron, with brawny arms bare to the shoulder.
