Ten Innings of Sport.
Last Sunday was a red-letter day
to all true lovers of base ball, and
the game was one that will long be
remembered by the fans on the bay.
One of the many pleasing features
of the game was the lack of wrang
ling which characterizes and spx ils so
many contests. The day was a per
fect baseball day, warm enough so
that you did not need an overcoat,
and could yell air you wanted to
without catching cold and they all
had a chance to whoop it up, you j
bet. For eight innings the score
stood 2 to 1 in favor of the visitors,
in the first half of the ninth Elk
City managed to score another Tun,
making the score 3 to 1. In the
last half of the ninth Toledo man
aged to change the monotony of the ,
long string of goose eggs on the
score sheet by making two runs there- J
by tying the score. Toledo presen-1
ted Elk city with another cipher in !
the first half of the tenth inning
and made the much needed run in
the last half. Following is the
score by innings also the lineup of
the teams.

eayB: Laughing, playing and coo
ing in the bright sunshine yesterday
afternoon at 5:30 o'clock, little
5-year-old Kenneth Raines Palmer
of 412 East Everett street, trundled
his little "push wagon" down the
sidewalk a few yards from the door
of his home, and there was Btripken
with instant death.
He was knocked down and killed
by a runaway team and delivery
wagon belonging to Olds, Wortman

killed was the only son of Frank A.
Palmer, who conducts a barter shop
at 27 North Second street and
who has lived in the neighborhood
where he now resides for the past
ten years. Little Kenneth was al
ways a dutiful child and when left

the household, he "minded" his
mother'B parting admonition not to
go further away from home than the
corner. Their house stands a few
doors from the corner of Grand
avenue North and East Everett
street.
Grief at the shocking death which
overtook the manly little fellow is
riot confined to his parents. The
neighbors also feel his less to a re
markable degree. In more than
one sympathetic eye big tears welled
up as it learned that little Kenneth,
who had been everybody's play
fellow, had been killed. "He was
the best child I ever saw," said one
red-eyed mother, who lives nearby.
"It did not make any difference
what his mother told him to do, he

Special Correspondence.
Portland, Or., June 8, 1908.
The great Rose Festival of Port
land is now a matter of history. It
was easily the most eventful week
Portland ever enjoyed. The con
vention of the Pacific Coast t Ad
Men's League started at the Com
mercial Club Monday morning,
closing the day with a dinner that
was simply perfect.
In the valley around Cove, Oregon
their will be produced thia year two
hundred tons of cherries and five
hundred cars of apples. The people
there realize that they will need
from two hundred and fifty to three
hundred people in addition to their
local population to pick and pack
the cherry crop.
With the election over and with
the assurance of a great cherry and
berry crop, the people of all Oregon
should "get busy" and advertise
more than ever before . With its
latest addition, the Toledo Develop
ment League, the Oregon Develop
ment League now has 83 members.
