PAGE EIGHT. THE MORNING ASTORIAN, TUESDAY, MAY 24, 1904. THERE IS i JO SUBSTITUTE FOR , Absolutely Pure IT IS A MATTER OF HEALTH WARM FIGHT FOR VICTORY Commercial and Warrenton Teams Play Twelve Innings of Base ball at A. F. C. Park. HOME NINE FINALLY WINS Score Is Tied for Four Chapters, but Two Timely Hits Give Clubmen the Game; Score 1110. The sun was slipping into the west era ocean, sinking slowly into that great abyss called space, and, as if in parting emphasis of his grandeur, threw out his rays of light, filling all the land with glory and making more golden the beautiful hair of the young man to whose prowess the good name of his club was momentarily left A swarthy fellow, whose every motion in dicated the "Injun" within him, sought to lay away this golden-haired youth, whose pale, Immovable countenance denoted the supreme effort which the occasion demanded. The swarthy one twisted himself into a terrible knot, and then, as if fired from a cannon, a small object shot forth from his hand. A moment of great suspense followed, and then came the sound of a smash. The small object was sent far out into the arena, and when it had been again ; gathered into the gloved hand of swarthy athlete the golden-haired youth was all the way round. There upon the crowd rejoiced greatly, cry ing aloud, "Hurrah for the Swede!' For it was the Swede as Harry Graham, the fair-haired youth, is oft- times called by his particular friends. Under ordinary circumstances, Harry would have been required to stop at the second resting place. However, in his great anxiety to do (the right thing Dawson, who officiated in the left field for Warrenton, threw wildly into the diamond from the remote corner of the yard Into which he of the golden hair bad swatted tihe ball, and the pale faced athlete, embracing the advantage thus offered, ran swiftly homeward, nor stopped until he was caught in the arms of his enthusiastic friends. Ross he of the full physique usur ally occupies the center position in the diamond, but a seaside trip necessi tated the substitution of some one else to thro. Captain (Roxy) Graham determined to try out Morton, being quite as anxious to give Palrtter a chance behind vhe bat Painter could not hold Morton; he hadn't caught for a Ion? time. So right at the start things looked bad. Befve the ball was even touched the visitors scored two runs, both on passed balls, and when the agony finally ended Graham switched the post Ion of the battery, putting Morton back where he be longed. Palntjr pitched a rattling good game, and Morton caught like he always catches in gilt-edge fashion. Commercial had some hard luck In the first chapter. Stockton had reached the initial sack on a passed ball and was tagged out while trying to return to first when Hallgrlmson gathered in Roxy Graham's fly. Brother Harry put one into the right garden that Hall grlmson failed to handle, and Thurston was likewise shy with Painter's fly. Harry Graham pilfered third and when McDermott furnished O'Croole with a pass the bases became chocked. Now Swep Morton is mighty handy with the stick, and everybody supposed he would slam the ball out against the fence, or perhaps lose it In the pretty woods just north of the lot. But Swep didn't do anything of the sort; instead he hit an easy one that touched him, which constitutes an out Thus the chapter ended with three enterprising young men on bases. In the second Commercial took the lead, piling up four runs. The visitors might have Increased their lead in their half of this inning were it not for Chop Stockton's fine stop of Moore's hit Ordinarily a ball of the sort would have netted two bags, but Chop cut it down to one. Flanntgan walked ! when Commercial got around to stick- work, but Charlie Halderman, who had come all the way from Washing ton, D. C, to break into the game (and, by the way, it's told of him he had been running around town ever since his return with a ball In one hand and a glove in the other, asking people to play catch), flew out to McDermott Trulllnger popped out a fly that Moore might have gobbled up, but didn't and McDermott hit Stockton with a pitched ball. Roxy Graham reached first on Dick Halderman's error, whereupon Flannigan scored. Harry Graham picked up the stick. The bases were full, and Warrenlton was ahead, and well, Harry smashed out one of those hard drives for which he is noted, sending it through the short stop and far out into the left garden, where id was finally captured. While all this was going on Trulllnger, Stock ton and Brother Roxy went home. The fourth was another bad Inning for Warrenton, Commercial piling up an additional three runs. Painter hit out a clean two-bagger, O'Croole walked, and the mighty Swepson emulated Painter's commendable ex ample. This netted two runs, and when Getty failed to handle Charlie Halderman's drive Swepson trotted home. At this stage of the proceedings the score was 8-3 in Commercial's fa vor. In the fifth the visitors fell upon Painter for a single by Dawson that would have been more but for O'Croole's fine stop and for a two-bagger by Get DO YOUR EYES TROUBLE YOU? )0 you know that in these days of enlightenment thousands of people are still going along in misery, suffering tortures, drawing on their nerves and ruining their eyes through con stant strain upon the delicate muscles that aid the sight?

Washburn, who had felt the force of Painter's curves and thereby gained first base, scoring on McDermott's long fly to Stockton, the Commercial fielder being unable to return the ball In time to throw him out at the hom plate. The score was now 8-4. The seventh saw the rise of the visitors' star, Thurston walked, and when Getty, who is a hard httter, slammed out the ball for two sacks Thurston was In considerate enough to score, Bldwell fanned and Dick Halderman flew out to Roxy Graham. Washburn watt lucky and reached first on a short little hit that, dropped in the infield, and which was not fielded. Then Moore knocked a high fly out Into center field and Stockton undertook to handle it front left He made a sensational run grasped the ball In his hands and then in his great desire to squeese It, dropped the thing. This let in Getty and Washburn, but Hallgrlmson flew out to Stockton and the agony was ended, although the score was tied a few minutes later when Harry Gra ham scored Brother Roxy by hammer ing out a two-bagger to center field. In the eighth there was nothing doing and the record shows a similar condition of affairs to have existed in the ninth. In the tenth, however the visitors enjoyed another streak of luck. Moore, having hit safely to center, scored a short time later on a passed ball. Thus the score was 10-9 against Commercial, and then it was that the falr-halred youth made the mighty smash that tied things up again. In the eleventh Thurston flew out to Harry Graham, Getty got as far as first on Trullinger's error, Bldwell fanned nnd Getty was caught napping at first by the eagle-eyed Painter. Morton should have scored In Com mercial's half, hitting out a clean three-bagger, the hardest hit ball of the day. Flannigan fanned, however, and Charlie Haderman'a short hit did not get him anything. Morton tried to go home for the winning run while the Infield was busy stopping Halder man, but was caught out at the plate. The 12th saw Dick Halderman fly out to Roxy Graham. Halderman bat ted out a high foul and Roxy managed to wind his way through the unspeak able crowd and givther It in. Wash burn fanned and Moore went out on a drive to third. Things had so shap ed themselves that Commercial had half an Inning to spare. Trulllnger had got but one hit previously but at this critical stage of the proceedings planted a safe hit over the head of the second baseman. Stockton singled and Trulllnger went to third. Roxy Gra ham hit the ball to McDermott, who threw Stockton out at second, Bldwell trying for a double by thowlng back to first. This gave Trulllnger the op portunity he was seeking, and he trot ted home for the winning run. The score by Innings was as follows: Commercial .. 041300100101 Warrenton .... 201021300100 The summary shows: R. H. E. commercial n 10 7 Warrenton , "..10 7 12 The teams lined up as follows: Com merclal Stockton, left field; Roxy Graham, third base; Harry Graham second base; Painter, pitcher; O'Croole shortstop; Morton, catcher; Flanni gan, first base; Halderman, center field; Trulllnger, right field.

CLINTON, County Clerk. 1 Siursrested Tliat Smith Point Kotul lie rutin Kepalr, AN fording Level Grade for Farmers of Valley. At last night's meeting of the Cham ber of Commerce the question of bet ter roads was taken up and discussed at length. The discussion wae brought about when the connection with the Lewis and Clark bridge was mentioned and members stated that the present connection out of the city, Eighth street was not fit for such travel as may be expected from the Lewis and Clark valley and the west side when the highway Is finally completed. The matter was referred to the roads com mittee, which has not been very act ive of late, and which will now have an Interesting Job on Us hands. The opinion was expressed that the Eighth street connection should be abandoned, and that the city should build the road around Smith Point. The Point road, It was made plain dur. ing the discussion, would afford a le vel grade, while the Eighth street rornl is bollt at a grade of as high tm 23 per cent in places. Such grade, H was contended, would make it Impossible for farmers to haul their produce Into the city, and therefore Interfere with the usefulness of the extensive Im provement undertaken at the Lewis and Clark. It was stated at the meeting last night that the county court had agreed to extend the road on the south side of the bridge upon the completion of the repair work recently undertaken by the land owners in that part of the country, and that ere long there would be a fine highway leading from the city to all of the towns on the west side. It Is fett, as a consequence, that the highway leading from the city to the county bridge across Young's bay should be kept In good re pair, and that the Improvement should be made at once. It Is likely the coun cil wilt be asked to take some action on the matter. President Welch submitted the fol Iwlng letter which he received from the secretary of the Oregon Historical Society: "Eugene, May 9. Hon. James W. Welch, Astoria I gather from corre spondence that has recently appeared In the columns of the Oregonlan that leading citizens of Astoria are Inter ested In marking and preserving her hlfttorlc sites; also that the city has purchased the site on which the grave of Mr. McTavlsh was originally loest ed, making It advisable that the re mains should be relnterred there and a monument placed over them. Mr, Hlmes, acting as assistant secretary of the Oregon Historical 8ociety,. but without instructions, brought! the Mc Tavlsh monument to the museum of the society, under the impression, I believe, that it was liable to destruc tion where he found it Under these conditions, there can be no hesitation In returning the monument Immedi ately to 'the charge of the city of As toria.

If the sotltey can be of any service to the, city of Astoria towards making It the historical Mecca of the Pacific north west, please command its services, "F. G. YOUNG." Mr. Welch also submitted a letter from Mr. Hlmes, In which he Inclosed the following historical Information: "This (the McTavlsh) monument was erected by members of the Northwest Company, of which Mr. Donald Mc Tavlsh was one of the oldest proprie tors, and for many years the principal director for managing the affairs of the Interior. He hod acquired an In dependent fortune; In fact, had retired from active connection with the com pany; but hod volunteered to organ ize the new department of the Colum bia after which he expected to return to Scotland and 4 spend the remainder of his life In -ease and comfort on an estate which he had acquired. "Astoria, be it remembered, wus founded by the John Jacob Astor par ty, April 12, 1811, his partners in Ore gon being Alexander McKay, Duncan McDougall, David and Robert Stuart. On October 23, 1813, Fort Astoria was surrendered to the representatives of the Northwest Company, and the American colors were hauled down and the British flag- run up. On December 12, 1814, the name was changed to Fort George by Captain Black of H. B. M. sloop of war Raccoon. "The property of the Pacific Fur Company (Astor's) was valued at $68, 291.02, but was worth at least $200,000, according to John Jacob Aston state meat made to John Qulncy Adams; secretary of state, on January 4, 1823. The actual amount received by Astor was 140,000." Democratic TicKet. For Congressman, J. E. 81 MM ON 3. Of Multnomah County. STATE For Supremo Court Justice, THOMAS O'OAY. ' Of Multnomah County.
