Estacada to Play Royal
Bakery Team
The News’ call for all ball play­
ers to rally at the Estacada
grounds last Sunday afternoon,
met with a hearty response from
all directions, as about two dozen
players assembled and after
sharp practise, and election of
Roy Douglass as captain, staged
a scrub game, which demonstrat­
ed that the old ball tossers are
still in winning shape
Next Sunday afternoon, start­
ing promptly at 2 o’clock, the
first game of the season will be
played, with Estacada tackling
the fast Royal Bakery aggrega­
tion from Portland.
Manager Lovelace is in receipt
of challenges from many of the
fastest Portland amateur nines
and promi-es a season of good
games, if the public will begin
next Sunday and well patronize
the contests.
The official line-up for Estaca­
da has not been announced, but
will include tbe Douglass and
mith boys of Eagle Creek; Go-
berg of Barton and such Estaca­
da players as Simmons and the
Bronsons, with the high school
players, Mac Dale and Otis Wag­
ner.
As the success of the local
team this year will depend on the
attendance, everyone is asked to
be present next Sunday after­
noon.
Livestock Shipped To Alaska
The shipping of livestock on
the hoof has become so common
in the last year, that notice of
another carload shipment hardly
attracts attention nowadays, but
last Friday the first shipment
was made to Alaska.
B. F. Forrester of Eagle Creek
and G. P. Forrester of Estacada,
shipped a carload from Eagle
Creek comprising five cow« and
seven brood sows with pigs. The
shipment was to Jesse Forrester,
a brother, who is road-master of
the Copper River & Northwest­
ern R. R. at Chipina. Alaska.
The animals are not for butcher­
ing. but will be used for breeding
purposes.
Paul Lightner of Eagle Creek
is making the trip to Alaska with
the shipment and will remain
there in the employ of the rail­
road company.
