AXCOUVER, Wash., Feb. 27. (Spe

has been thought of by Master Richard
Palmer, 8 years old, son of Mrs. Maude
Palmer, of B0f West Thirteenth street,
of this city.
Be it known that Vancouver is the
home of W. W. McCredip, dlrecter-gen-eral
of the Portland baseball team, and
there Is no other city In the United
States, perhaps, that takes more Inter
est than does Vancouver In baseball af
fairs. In the early Spring, baseball
Is the topic of conversation in the
home, on the streets, and, it is said, at
lodge and sometimes at cnurcn.

Richard was crying and bemoaning
his fate, and for no reason, his mother
thought, until she asked him why he
was crying.
' 'Cause I ain't got another eye."
"Why, Richard, you have two eyes
that God has given you, do you want
another one?"
"Yes."
"And if you had It, where would you
have it placed?" ,
"On the end of my finger;
"And why there. Richard?"
"So's I could stick It through a knot

CENTRALIA. Wash., Feb. 27. (Spe

by M. W. Daubney, secretary of the
Centralia Baseball Club, stating that
Howard Guyn and "Babe" Hollls, the
two men sold conditionally to Tacoma
at the close of last season, had been
turned back to Centralia. It was known
that Hollls would be released, but that
of Guyn comes as a surprise. Both of
the men will be welcomed here, as they
played a strong game in 1911, and will
no doubt repeat In 1912.

Although Jefferson high went Into

won one and lost four which puts it on
about a par with the Allen Preparatory

Johnny Kllbane, and that he would still
be recognized as the featherweight
