Boys Not Discouraged Remem
bering History of Big Things
It is a matter of history that the
Allies in the World War did Hot
win the initial engagements over
in Trance but ultimately won the
pennant from Kaiser Bill so.
too, it is liislory that Ilillsboro's
II. 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.

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. Meantime the chap, who is
an Austriani, is getting bis square
meals each day and enjoying
himself, chanting the I. W. W.
sabotage songs to himself.
