MAUPIN WINS GAME TEN-FOUR Game Replete With Errors Next Came With Madras Here Maupin 10, Tygh Valley four, was the way the score read at the conclu sion of the baseball gamo between the two teams here last Sunday. The home team was the stronger in all departments, but credit must be giv en the visitors because two of their best players were not in the lineup. At that they gave tho ICaupin play ers a hard tusscl and had it not been f or errors the acore would have been different, with possibly Tygh on the long end. Chastain and Norvai were battery for Tygh while McCorkle and Miller officiated for Maupin. If Maupin people desire baseball ganuf. here during, the season it will be necessary for tlu-m to turn 'out to the games. While a fair crowd was out tit the last game, ttill there was a deficit in the exchequer, and expenses must be met, therefore the desire for a Inrger crowd. If our people do not turn out it la possible all scheduled games will be trans ferred to Tygh and played there. If Maupinltes are apathetic in their opinions of baseball games, they stand to lose those for which dates have been arranged. It costs money for balls, bats, and expenses of visit ing teams. The only way this Is to be obtained is through sale of ad mission tickets. Madras will be here next Sunday, and it is expected a hard game will he played. Let's all turn out and help tho management out by paying our little old two bits, and at the same time encourage our own team by giving them our moral as well as financial support. Shearing Begins.

C. Gage, editor ,cf the Angora Journal, in an illustrated lecture on "From Field to ' Fabric" delivered before the 0. A. C. Agricultural and Home Economics clubs. Still other errors are going to the other extreme and calling it horse, hog or dog bristles, he said. Even the federal government classes wool and mohair together in report ing export trade. ' i . Oregon used to be third of all tha states in the production of mohair but is lotting golden opportunities to develop a tig and important industry slip by, the speaker thinks, as it has dropped to seventh place. Climite and topography as well as vegetation were said to constitute a highly fa vorable condition for profitable An gora production. 1 One of the big problems in making mohair from Angora fleeces is get ting rid of the bristly-like hairs known as kemp. The best place to get rid of it is in the breeding pens, ! Mr. Gage contended. By putting up animals of good general type espec ially free of the objectionable kemp the coming herds will have less and lera of it Specimens of mohait cloth of the "Velmo" velvet-mohair type were shown, one from a curtain used in an old cathedral for 40 years.
