Toledo Defeats
Waldport Here
In Game Sunday
Coleman, Pitching for Waldport,
Strikes Out 16 Toledo Batters
but Is Wild and Gets Poor
Support.
Toledo Team Makes Many Er
rors but Hall Keeps Hits Well
Scattered Preventing Large
Score by Opponents.
The .Toledo, baseball- team romped
on the team representing Waldport at
tho local fair grounds diamond Sunday
afternoon by the scorn of 9 to 4. before
a crowd of approximately 150 fans.
Although the game was somewhat
loosly played, nevertheless the fans
their 'money's worth and were
well satisfied with the' results. '
Coleman, the big tall boy. heaving
; the twisters for the Waldporters, seem.
'ed to naT everything on the apple
and caused 16 of the husky local lads
to retire atter taking tnree swings ai
the breeze. " However, the big fellow,
lost considerable' of his "strike-out"
players able to reach second base.
The locals jumped into the lead In
the first inning putting two runners
.across the rubber, Service getting on
when Starr mussed up his grounder,
jVan Decovcring duplicated Services's
stunt, Hammond got hit by a pitched
ba" aml Service and Van Decovering
scored when Tromietz swatted for a
long single, the first 'hit of the day.
In the first and second Innings Cole-
man made all the putouts against To-
ledo by striking out six men. Three
hits, an errcs and a walk enabled To
ledo to put four more across in the
third. Toledo did not score again un
til the sixth when they put three more
men over by three safe hits and two
walkB It looked like another score In
the eighth when Weeks slammed out
the only two-bagger or the day. He
went to third on a wild throw, but
was caught leading off too far from
that sack when the batter failed to
bunt on a signal.
Waldport started good when Reilly,
the first man up, hit a clean single.
Hall, however, caught him napping

WASHINGTON. May 29. Ths Amer-

headquarters have issued an attack!
upon the Republican party and the
present Republican Congress. The at
tack is addressed to all labor organ!'
atlons and the so called "Non-Partisan
Political Campaign . Committees" of
the -' American Federation of Labor
The attack makes many accusations
and charges. It states that the pri
maries and elections this year will
determine whether "the misrule which
'has characterized the present Congress
will be permitted to continue." It
asserts that "all hope of remedial leg
Islatlon ot a real constructive nature
I by the present Congress was lost
1 months ago." It makes the assertion
I that "profiteers" and "reactionaries"
hostile to labor unions have control oi
the present Congress,
In all fairness it should be stated
that the so-called "Non-Partisan Po
litical Campaign Committees" of the
American Federation of Labor are a
fake. With few exceptions those who
are tryfng to make the American Fed
eratlon of Labor a political organiza
tion rather than a labor organization
are Democrats and have always been
democrats. The exceptions are those
few who are socialists. Samuel Gom
pers, who heads the movement in a

Vou probably read In the last Is
sue of Die Leader, that the Farnt
Bureau is trying to work out a good
road program for the next few years.
You probably wouder what our pro
gram Is.
Work of this kind cannot be laid
out definitely for any great length of
time but must be worked out as the
different problems arise.
The Farm Bureau stands for coop
eration eo naturally our work on
roads means cooperation on road
work.
The County Court handles all road
money and road work. It seems to
me the first place to start Is coopera
tion with the County Court. Now this
year instead of staying at home and
finding fault with the Court why not
evert taxpayer In the county try to
meet with the County Court 8b often
as possible! and find out for himself.
some of the difficulties they are up
against. We would all be wiser and
less anxious to find fault at the end of
the year. Wihy not use as our slogan
"Fix one mud hole a year,"
I believe I am safe in saying that
every community has one especially
bod piece of road. Let's fix that piece
in 1922. I do not mean to send a del-
jegatlon to the County Court and ask
jthem to fix It, but set a day and try
to get the whole community on the
Job. If one day will not fix it, set
one day a month until it Is fixed. It
will surprise you how good you will
feel when It is dona.
