H. A. L'S TAKE GAME
FRGM THEIR VISI
Multnomah Guards Beaten on Lo
cal Grounds, Five to Two
FANS SEE FINE PLAYING
Legionites Find Themselves and
Win Great Game
The II. 'A. L.'s, representing
Ilillsboro thro the American Le
gion team, played to victory at
tin
local grounds ' Sunday, and
when the smoke screen raised the
Ilillsboro team had won out over
ttie Multnomah Guards to the
tune of 5 to 2. The oldtimers say
it was one of the fastest and
snappiest games ever played on
Ihe Ilillsboro diamond, and there
was excitement every minute of
play, keeping the fans on their
toes throughout. From the time
lis "Umps" called "play ball" to
the time the last score was run
and the ninth inning closed the
interest was at fever heat. Soh
ler and Dessingcr furnished the
'Jack Johnson" battery that:
proved the undoing of the Mult
nomahs and proved the mastery
over Siiuonsen's heavy stickers.
And the batUry had good heavy
stick work and support behind
them, which means something.
Net result The H. A. L.'s are
tied for third place in the League
percentages. About 500 were out
and from the color in the irrand-
stand it looked like Ladies Day.
With this brand of baseball the
local team is going to earn and
receive public support for who
wouldn't rather see a game of
this kind on the local diamond
than to watch a big league eon
test. The H. A. L.'s played posiions

General Orders
The score looked much better
this week. Oui! Oui!
It was a "Have to" case Mac
said so.
The big drive was started in
the first inning and the Multno
niahs artillery had too many
duds.
Mac wore out a pair of shoes
but that was better than having
to buy a toupe for he lost much
of his topknot the week before.
Sobler won a home with the
fannettes honest, now, didn't he
look 100 per cent?
That sleeping sickness lasted
but one Sunday, Batch says.
Dessinger was on deck with
the "pep" 'neverything needed.
Airss and Henderson unlitnber
ed their heavy artillery and they
sure had the range.
The "Umps had mighty fine
control, at that.
There's no question but what
we all feel better we know the
boys can do it, anyway, if they
try.
The boy certainly put Hills
boro on the map Sunday and
now they're going to keep it
there.
Phelps is feeling so good that
he rea-ches away out in the air
when he scratches his head. We
don't blame him.
Sunday, May 16, the Portland
Iron Works team will journey to
Ilillsboro and the boys are get
ting in shape to give them a warm
reception.
