': Before a fair . sized audience yes terday afternoon at the fair grounds ball park, La Grande defeated Elgin by a score of 5 to 3. Elgin lost the game in the first two innings and but for these, the game might have gone to extra 'innings. Elgin had not scored until the last half of the eighth inning, when two wild throws coupled wWrith a run together by two infielders, netted Elgin three runs and gave the . appearance that the score might, be tied. Oswald's pitching for Elgin after the second inning was or big caliber. In the first two innings several hits were gleaned from his slants, but af ter that he. kept all of his donations 0 well scattered that La Grande did not have a chance to score. Elgin's infieW clung to the ball like' veter ans, and none of the home team made the circuit for runs after the second. , ' Blake, pitching for La Grande, held the visitors at .his control throughout the entire game and at no time weak ened enough to let runs cross the plate as earned off his delivery. Oliver played a remarkably fine game behind the bat, and gives promise of developing into big league material. ; Eut for the bauble between short and third by Carpy and, ,. Craney, La Grande would have played an almost errorless gagme. Both teams were held close to the bags throughout the game and but few stolen bases were trade, in the game on both sides. Both team 8 can develope a little more speed in the field. Several bat ters were credited with hits that ' ought to, have gone into some fielder's glove, but ' warmer weather will de velope this.

Looking Younger Than Ever In His Roy a Tailored Suit Girls: We're going to depend oh YOU to just make Father come down to thisstore during this Prime-of-Life Week. You know he ought to come and, deep down in his heart, he knows it too the lovable old rogue. ' Father May Not Admit It but you know that when he spruces up on Sunday, he's some hand some Chesterfield. No wonder mother fell for him as she did I When he can be induced to lay aside his Jim my-pipe and carpet slippers and slide into his Frock coat and Stove Pipe lid he's just as Tiffany-looking and distinctive as any manjn .tb.is town. But the point is Sunday isn't the only tim e Father ought to do this. The. idea that he should dress like a Grandfather six days a week, and a spic and span young man ONE day a week is all wrong he ought to keep that spic and span look the whole week through. It isn't only a matter of looking young, it's a matter of feeling young and keeping young. We tell you, girls, there is no tonic in the world to keep the youth in a man's heart, the merry glisten in his eye, the spring in his step and the enthusiasm and laughter in his voice like blithesome and debonair clothes. v;v. ',...'.: 'Vv :-r -; '.-'.r :'- '; ;,'v;:'' The trouble is, Father has only one spic and span "Make-up" and that's intended only for Sunday wear. You just coax him down here (you know how to do it as no one else can) and let him see this big exhibit of Rejuvenating Spring Woolens and Worsteds from The Royal Tailors of Chicago and New York. Perhaps we'll have one of those slim and trim English cut sack suits just in from The Royal Tailors made up for some other younster about Fath er's size. He won't mind if Father tries it on and you'll be surprised to see how this natty, snug-fittin g garment will lop the years off Father's back. " Remember, girls we're depending on you to majke- Father meet his wardrobe obligation and be here during Prime-of-Life Week. Come in with him so we can thank ypu for your team work in getting Father interested. Prices: As amazing as Royal quality itself $16, $17, $20, $25, $30 and $35.
