The game was marked by loose
playing by both teams and several

Game of Contrasts
The whole session was full of
contrasts. Hrilliant stops by the
Inflelders several times followed
particularly poor plays. Kven the
men on the opposing teams offer
ed many unusual contrasts. The
diminutive I'arris, who must be nil
of five feet four or five inches tall,
pitched for the Hears nnd at the
end of each tuning r hanged place
with Hie lanky Jlein, who ranges
something over six feet in height.

II ANNEMASSE
WASHINGTON (By tho Associated Tress) .Oregon
lost in the supreme court today its fight to compel chil
dren to attend public schools. The court held that state in
enforcing; compulsory education laws, cannot require the at
tendance of children in public schools to the exclusion of
private or parochial schools.
The Oregon cempulsory education law, requiring chil
dren between the ages of 8 and 16 to attend public schools
is therefore declared invalid.
The decision was awaited with unusual interest because
of the peculiar circumstances of the litigation and because
many other states have compulsory education laws. The
Oregon law was attacked by the Society of Sisters of Holy
Karnes and the Hill Military academy. .-There 'are many
charges that the statute was inspired by the Ku KIux Klan.
Justice Mr.Rnvnnlrls in rlnlivneino- tho rtminn QnM
inevitable nractical result nf
would be the destruction of the present parochial schools
and other private primary schools, which are engaged in
an undertaking not inherently harmful but long regarded
as useful and mereitorious.
"Certainly there is nothing in the present record -,o
indicate they have failed to discharge their obligations to
patrons, students or the state," the court continued, "and
tnere are no peculiar circumstances or present emergencies
