The first crame of the season played by the Dallas team against the Alco Club, of Albany, and the initial game on the new baseball park, resulted in a decisive victory for the home Dine. A large crowd turned out to witness the game, at which beside visitors from Albany, were present many irom the neighboring towns of Polk county.

Neither team scored iu the first Inn- Idb but in the second Albany managed to slide in one run, at the same time shutting Dallas out.

The home team batted clean arounu its list, making five hits and sooriogsix runs before the side was finally retired. In the fifth Inning they found West, the visiting pitcher, for two more hits and succeeded in bringing in two more runs.

Their time is limited as all exhibits am rea ui red to be completed and turned over by May 8, into the hands of Superintendent R. F. Robinson, of Multnomah oounty, who is to have charge of the Oregon public schools' exhibit at the Fair. The Dallas pupils began their oreDaration about two weeks ago and the time which they will have for the actual work of preparing me exnioits will be but little more than a month. All of the work for the Fair Is supple mentary to their regular studies ana the task before them is by no means a small one. Onlv schools having ten or more trades will be permitted to send exhibits to the big exposition and the comparatively recent addition ot a tenth grade to the Dallas scnooi barely lets this school in, and gives our city an opportunity to play a part of considerable importance in repre senting the educational system ot Oregon. Everv crrade in the school will help In the preparation of the Dallas exhibit, which will comprise typical specimens of the work in the various branches and elve a comprehensive outline of the methods of instruction and the development of the powers of the pupil from the primary grades up to the High School departments. In preparing much of, the work, nhntniyraDhs and sketches will be used by way of illustration. The greater part of the essays, composi tions, fitc. will deal with Dallas and its industries and with the resources of the surrounding country, all of whloh will be nicely illustrated wltn photographs taken by local amateur or professional photographers.
