able lilts.
After all that was told of the prow-
ess of the Mount Hood baseball nine,
It was expected the Commercial Club
team would have a hard struggle Sun
day afternoon. However, It was by
sheer good fortune that the visitors
ever scored, and perhaps there, would
never have been a Portland tally but
for the carelessness of the Commer
cials, whose lead was so great as to
make defeat utterly Impossible. A big
crowd saw the game, which was char
acterised by much rag-chewing on the
part of the strangers, who couldn't
understand why Umpire McComber
should call a strike a strike, or a ball
a ball.
Four innings passed before a Port
lander got beyond second base. In the
first Smith drove a long fly to Haider
man at center. Costeyo's grounder to
Roxy Graham resulted in his finish,
but Morton dropped Houghton's fly.
O'Toole then muffed Abbott's grounder,
but handled Brown's liner nicely and
retired the side. Ferguson, who led the
batting list for the Commercials, went
out on a hit to shortstop, and Morton
fanned. Harry Graham was hit with
a pitched ball and stole second and
third. He scored on a passed ball
Roxy Graham drove a grounder to
third and was thrown out at first
In the second Dorner fanned and
Mag son and Simon sent out grounders
to Roxy Graham that were properly
handled, the side being retired. Then
the Commercials fell upon Abbott's de-
livery. O'Toole walked, while Flanigan
singled to Brown, who threw wildly to
third, allowing O'Toole to score. Flan
nlgan went down to third. Haider
man's single scored Flannigan. Tom
Ross flew out to Brown, and Trullln
ger was thrown out at first by Ab
bott, to whom he knocked a soft one.
Ferguson placed a hot one Just inside
the third base line, and a wild throw
to second not only permitted Haider
man to score, but likewise afforded a
similar opportunity to Ferguson. Mor
ton sent one into the grandstand that
was fair, but Mr. McComber couldn't
see it and called It foul. Morton
walked. Harry Graham's two-bagger
scored Morton. Here the visitors
changed pitchers. Roxy Graham hit
one to shortstop, wnose fine stop did
not result in heading off the batter.
O'Toole drove out one that hit the
umpire, and was given one bag for it
This filled the bases and when Flanni
gan was given transportation, Harry
Graham scored. Halderman's fly to
Simon ended the slaughter. j
Ross fanned Day, Smith and Costello
In the third. Ross went out on an in
field grounder, Trulllnger walked, but
was caught at second, when Ferguson
hit to shortstop. Morton fanned.
" In the fourth Houghton hit a soft
one to Ross and was thrown out Ab
bott flew out to Ross and Brown flew,
out to Morton. Harry Graham hit one
to Simon, who failed to handle It
Roxy Graham was thrown out at first,
while O'Toole walked. Flannlgan'i fly
to Magson was dropped, filling the
bases. Halderman then hit a hard one
to Magson, whose wild throw let In
four runs. Ross got to the first stop
ping place on Magson's error, while
Trulllnger singled. Ferguson flew out
to center field and Trulllnger died try
ing to go home. Morton fanned, t
In the fifth one of the visitors, Mag
son, got as far as third. Dorner walk
ed, but was thrown out while endeav
oring to pilfer second, and Magson was
also allowed to walk. He stole second
and succeeded also In stealing third
Simon hit one to Brother Harry that
was fielded, and when Day fanned the
visitors retired, Magson dying on third.
In the Commercial's halt Harry Gra
ham's long fly to Day put him out of
It, Brother Rosy fanned and O'Toole
flew out to Costello.
; Brother Roxy's failure to stop two
grounders gave the visitors a score In
the sixth. Day hit to O'Toole at first
and the baseman was unable to ban
die the ball falling when he went
after it. Ceetello sacrificed him to sec
ond, aid Houghton was thrown out by
Ross. Abbott hit to Brother Roxy. who
let the drive go by, Day scoring. Roxy
repeated the error when Brown hit to
htm, but Dorner was thrown out by
Harry Graham. Flannigan fanned,
Halderman flew out to Costello and
Ross fanned.
The visitors scored nothing in the
seventh, but the locals piled up four
runs. Trulllnger and Ferguson sin
gled, and Morton's liner to Smith was
not handled, a wild throw letting In
both Trulllnger and Ferguson. Brother
Harry singled. Scoring Morton; Roxy
hit to Costello, whose muff gave the
Commercial's captain one sack. Brother
Harry scored on a wild throw. O'Toole
was hit by a pitched ball, Flannigan
was thrown" out at first and Haider-
man's infield liner retired the side.
In the eighth Ross slowed down.

first on a passed ball. Dorner walked,
filling the bases. Magson was allowed
to walk, Abbott scoring. Simon hit to
Flannigan, Brown scoring, while Day
flew out to Morton. Smith fanned, re
tiring the side. The only double play
was made in the last half of the eighth.
Ross singled. Trulllnger hit a short
one to Abbott, and. failing to try for
first allowed the double. In the ninth
Costello fanned. Houghton was thrown
out by O'Toole and Abbott fanned.
The score by innings was a follows:
Commercials 1 6 0 4 0 0 4 0 'IS
Mount Hooda ....0 000010201
R. H. E.
Commercial .......15 10 (
Mount Hood 8 2 IT
Ross allowed the visitors but two
hits, of which one was a scratch. His
support was excellent except when
Brother Roxy let two grounders go
through him. As this is an offense of
which Roxy Is seldom guilty, no charges
will be preferred against him. Brother
Harry, unfortunately, made no home
runs Sunday, but hopes to put the ball
over the fence a week hence.
The teams lined up as follows:
Commercials Ferguson, catcher ;
Morton, left field; Harry Graham, third
base; Roxy Graham, second base;
O'Toole, Bhortstop; Flannigan, first
base; Halderman, center field; Ross,
pitcher; Trulllnger, right field.
Mount Hoods Smith, right field;
Costelo, second base; Houghton, catch
er; Abbott, pitcher; Brown, center
field; Dorner, first base; Magson, short
stop; Simon, third base; Day, left field.
PREPARING
TO VACATE

Street-Other Matters
Acted Upon.
The council did not act last night on
the special matter for which the ad
journed session was provided. A week
previously the Improvement of Com
mercial street from Fourteenth to Sev
enteenth was brought up and laid over
until the adjourned session for action,
but, after long discussion as to the
manner In which the improvement
should be made, the ordinance provid
ing for the repair went over for a
week.- Ordinances providing far the
time and manner of improving the fol
lowing streets were passed last night
under suspension of the rules:
Forty-fifth street from Commercial I
to Bond. Forty-fifth from Bond to the
alleyway between blocks 10 J and 104,
Commercial street from Forty-fourth
and Forty-fifth, Duane street from For-
ty-third to Forty-fourth, and Forty-
fourth from Duane to Commercial. An
ordinance was introduced to pay C. E.
Johnson for a drain.
Mayor Surprenant was not present
at the meeting, and President Hansen
presided. The city hall proposal was
brought up early in the meeting, when
vuuiiviuimn pioruairotn presented a I
written statement to the effect that he
had secured an option on the navel
brick and would release it In favor of
the city. The option provides that the
Flavel brick may be bought for 125,000.
Mr. Nordstrom wanted the matter re
ferred to the committee on ways and
means and the committee on public
property, and his motion was carried.

STRAIN
IS the most common cause ot those nervous headaches that your doctor
does not reach. Dizziness, darting pains in the eye-balls or temples,
smarting or burning sensation, the eyes become red and lids inflamed,
qtiverinjj oflids and jerking ot muscles in and around the eyes.
Do you ever have dark spots float
ing before your eyes? Does the sun
and wind hurt them? Do you have a
sleepy feeling and desire to close the
yes when reading? Blurring of vision
or lines and letters running together?
It you feel any of these distressing symptoms, have your eves examined and
see what comfort and relief yon will find when properly fitted with glasses.

could see no reason why the committee
should be delayed with consideration
of the Flavel offer.
Mr. Nordstrom expressed himself at
some length with reference to the city
hall proposal. He said the proposed
new hall would run the city $10,000 in
debt He also called attention to the
fact that the statement had been made,
some time ago, that warrants would
fall below par if the city were to be
compelled to pay $5000 toward the
FranKiin avenue Improvement in the
east end. He believed the same thing
would happen if the city hall proposi
tion were carried through. "The cost
of the Flavel brick Is certain," said
Mr. Nordstrom, "but that of a new
hall is most uncertain. We have three
years In which to pay for the prop
erty; could easily pay $4000 a year,
and rent one floor of the building for
more than enough to meet Interest."
"Mr. Nordstrom says the city can
spend " $25,000 for a brick building,"
said Mr. Lebeck, "but he says we can
not spend $25,000 for a new city hall.
I would like to get onto his system of
calculation. It will cost us $15,000 to
properly fit up the brick now offered
for sale. It is 5 feet In the street and
22 Inches too low. To move it out of
the street would entail an expense of
$6000 or $7000.
Where Will the City Go?
As to where the city government will
be located for the next six or eight
months the council Is more or less at
sea. The school board has agreed to
allow the city to use the brick engine
house at Third and Astor streets until
September 1, but the city would then
have to move again. Mr. Hansen sug-
gested that the building on the north
side of Bond between Ninth and Tenth,
now occupied by a shooting gallery,
be secured, but Mr. Burns Informed
him that the Are chief had ordered the
structure torn down.
The city must at once move No. 1
hose wagon house, and the council last
night made provision to have the struc
ture removed to the foot of Tenth
street. As to the Jail location, Mr,
Hansen reported that the county court
had referred him to Sheriff Linville

custodian of the Jail, who declined to
allow the city use of the building ex
cept In the event that he would be
permitted to select a man to act as
keeper of the prison. The sheriff Is
responsible for the prisoners in the
Jail, and therefore would want to be
protected against possible loss.
Mr. Kaboth thought the public prop
erty committee should be authorized to
lake the steps necessary to secure
new Jail and temporary headquarters,
and the suggestion was offered that
almost any old Jail would do. " Mr.
Nordstrom here cut in to say that
purchase of the Flavel brick would
settle the entire matter. It Is quite
probable that the committee will en
deavor to secure a temporary hall from
which It will not be required to move
until the new hall Is completed.
Other Matters Acted Upon.
