A. I..'s did not win the initial game of baseball in the inter City League last Sunday at Ath letic Park. The score Sunday stood just about the same as the Allies lirst score against the Huns l.'l to 0. About 1100 fans ami fanuetles turned out Sunday afternoon to see Hill J h airy' ball tosscrs from Portland lake' the II. A. I., team into camp to the tune of III to 0. Of course, that 1,1 is goiuu; to he unlucky for the Kirks, and thai gnosc-cKu: is going to hutch for the Hillsboro team and briny home the haeon in the end. Lack of practice and over-confidence' is ascribed as the cause of our ib feat. Manager Sexton and his boys, however, are mil discouraged, and they are out every evening digging into the game. He has signed up some more men, and by next Sunday, when the locals take oii the Multnomah (iuards there may he a different story to tell. Seven hils off Hillsboro was not so bud, after all - but Ilills boro's (rouble appeared to be that they could not connect with the visitor's curves which were not mi much after all. A great .deal of credit i due the H. A. I., outliclders, who gal loped all over the field and took ever) thing in sight, errorless, tak ing , the sphere oil their shoe strings in real big league style. Oh, well! Hillsboro has never been a quitter, and one defeat spells nothing. The boys are go ing after that pennant, anyway, and the II. A. L.'a are going to have a team in the running at any cost. The regular monthly meeting was lu'ld Tuesday night and a general shakeup took place. .SUNDAY'S RF.SU I.TS Teams II. It. K- Multnomah (iuards 7 Astoria 2 ti I 1C.

Paul Dudley, Alo ha, Ore. 9-H ill m JUBILEE Visit County Tuesday and Look Over World' Champion Yearling LUNCH AT J. J. VANKLEEK'S Pass Thro Hillsboro Two Times Visit Biersdorf Tvlodel Dairy Fully four hundred people were in the big Jersey Jubilee parade which visited Washington Coun ty Tuesday forenoon, passing thro Hillsboro two times in a stream of machines that took practically a half hour to pass to the highway." The parade came to Washing ton County i-i take a look at a Lulu Alphea of Ashburn, senior yearling, World's Champion of all breeds of her age, owned by J. J. VaiiKIeck & Sons, of Kinton. The procession left Portland early in the morning and was aug mented as they drove into Wash ington County. The line of ma chines passed thro Hillsboro and Forest Grove and shortly after 9 o'clock visited the Jersey stock farms and dairies of D. G. Lilly anil l lios. Williams, and lrom there drove to the Geo. Biersdorf Jersey stock farm, where thev re mained for an hour. The visitors drove thro Hills boro enroute to the VanKleek ranch between 11 and 12, and over lour hundred were given a lunch and refreshments. After the big audience had dined they inspected the World's Champion of all breeds of her age, and took off their hats to Oregon and Washington Count v. The inspection of Lulu Alphea was made the feature of the first day of the Jubilee, and as there were visitors from the far Fast, from Canada, and from nearly every state in the union, usli- ington County has been given n signal honor by the little Jersey which has eclipsed anything the world has ever produced, con sidering age. Lulu Alphea of Ashburn is one of the most beautiful types of the Jersey breed and if there is no untoward luck she w iU eventually eclipse other World's Champions of greater age. " The visitors were well pleased with Washington County and many expressions of interest were heard. The President .of the National Jersey Club was in ittendance, and he was very much taken with the model of the Biersdorf dairy. He stated that he had visited many breeding and dairy farms in his day. but he had never seen a dairy so especially equipped for comfort and results. Mr. Biersdorf served six per cent. Jersey milk to his guests and prohibition for the once was forgotten. The visitors w ere h i g h 1 y pleased by the treatment they re ceived at the aiiMcek home, ami there was plenty for all, and then some. Four big packers of ice cream were served at the end. and the Jersey Jubilee visitors went their way to Yamhill Coun ty feeling that ihe trip into Wash ington County marked the annual meeting as a distinctive feature. Mr. VanKleek's Champion is known as Lulu Alphea of Ash-i burn No. 375,710. Her year's! test was concluded with 800 1 pounds of butter at one year audi ten months, a remarkable record. This not only meant that Wash-i ington County had a world's j Champion in the Jersey class, but a champion of all breeds. Geo. Trimble, of Helvetia, was down Saturday. Geo. says he bears the call ftf the wlu els on the railway, but he is going to stay by the ranclfing job if it takes a leg. E. A. Eddy, well known all over the county, was up from Tualatin Monday afternoon, doing the rounds of the city. Eddy knows the Tualatin Valley and its possi bilities along production about as well as any of the wise ncs, and says that good roads are all we need to skunk anything in any country. Sheriff Alexander has an I. W. W. in the county coop and in all probability he will have to let him gohis way. The Federal officials say he cannot be deported at this time, and the state Syndicalism law is not strong enough to get him.
