GOOLD,
NEW PLAYERS
Charlie Moore Strengthens llie Local
Tcim.
Next Sunday's Hue up will see
several new faces 011 the St. Johns
team. This is the result of releas
ing several of the local players and
the disbanding of the Powers Blues,
one of the fustest amateur organ
buttons in Portland, and 1 1 Inkle,
Brown, Trowbridge, and perhaps
Brock, will probably be wearing a
St. Johns uniform next Sunday.
All these players ore capable of
putting up u first class article of
ball, and have been doing it all sea
son. They are all members of the
Multnomah club, and may be
dropped by that organization if they
enter the semi-professional ranks.
The Powers Blues disbanded be
cause of its inability to secure plum
ing dates with clubs in the city and
surrounding towns.
Ot the new players Brown is a
third baseman who will more than
fill the place vacated by Porter field,
who is now playing with Stevenson.
Iliukle is an outfielder, n hard hit
ter and a star player. Trowbridge
is a first uascman, and will play the
initial sack, relieving Clark Moore,
whom St. Johns fans think is one
of the fastest first basemen in the
Tri-City League. Brock is a
catcher, and a good one. Outside
of using his brother Clark as a
utility man we huve not been able
to learn where Muuager Charlie
Moore will place his men.
With the addition of the above
fast players there is every reason to
expect that the local club will con
tinue to hold its own and eventually
win the pennant.

ANNUAL ELECTION
Three Directors for the School
Hoard Ulc.tcd.
The annual meeting of the school
board was held nt the central school
btiildimr last Monday evening.
About fifty peisons were present,
half a do.eti of whom were ladles,
J. E. Williams, chairman of the
school board, presided.
J. I',. Tauch, clerk 01 tlie hoard,
read his annual report, a lengthy
document, dealing with the condi
tion of the finances and altairs of
the bond.
The clerk's report showed that
to teachers weie employed in the
city schools at a salary of $ 10,40a
a year. The childieu of school age
in the iity number 100.1. l-rom all
sources the district has received
$53,000 during tlie year. Of this
amount ,13,000 has btii paid out.
At the hegimiiug of tlie school
year there was 11 balance on hand
of -f2, 789 29. At piesent there is
19,825. Ho on hand. The heating
of tlie various school rooms cost the
district $462.
Tlie financial rejMirt was referred
to 11 committee consisting of R. W.
McKcou, A. M. Essou and S. L.
Dobie for verification.
The announcement of the elec
tion of three ditectors brought forth
numerous nominations. The re
sult of the first ballot elected C. W.
Potter, V. B. Weeks and T. M.
Phillips, Tlieir terms of office will
be decided at the next meeting of
the board by drawing lots to see
who will serve three, four uud five
years.
SUNDAY CLOSING
Three Dcpuly Sheriffs Screw Down
the Lid.
1'or half 11 day St. Johns was as
dry ns 11 bone last Sunday. This
particular half day refers to the
afternoon. During the morning
hours a thousand parched throats
were saved from cracking by reason
of The Louvie keeping oeii.
When it became known that the
juice of the grape and the brew of
the hop was 011 sale a regiment or
so of men develojied an almost tin
(iiiuchable thirst. The Louvre
was charged by platoons and bat
talions, nud the cash register played
the tune of "You'll Never Miss the
Lager 'Till the Keg Runs Dry."
Heavily loaded cars at Alder
street in Poitlaud, filled with
thirsty men, attracted the attention
of tlie sheriff's office, uud three dep
uties set sail for St. Johns. Ilefore
the arrival of Sheriff Stevens' men
I.ouis Richard, proprietor of The
Louvre, surrendered to Constable
Lou Wuguer, nud accompanied by
his bartender went to Portland with
tlie constable,
Outside of the above incident
there was nothing doing in the city.
The other five saloons weie closed
as tight as u drum. Only two per
sous were seen on the streets under
the influence of liquor, and part of
their jag was left over from the
previous night.
As far as St. Johns and her
jeople were concerned the order
closing the saloons made little dif
ference. There is an idea that the
closing movement is only tempo
rary, and as the effect of the
grand-standing wears off the sa
loons will be open on Sunday us
well as every other duy.
