The crack Portland nine, wear
ing the pretty uniforms of the
“ Royal Bakery” last Sunday af
ternoon returned to their liake-
ovens and dough-boards, a badly
beaten bunch of bread makers,
after appearing against the Es
tacada baseball team, in the op
ening game of the local season.
The bakery boys entered the
field with plenty of confidence,
but after the fourth inning, their
yeast either soured or their bread
raised too much, for after the
blow-up, they looked like a batch
of fallen loaves, with only the
Royal Bakery trade-mark left.
Owing to the cold wind and
threatened rain, it looked as
though Estacada would have a
hard time to win, especially as
the three Douglass boys of Eagle
Creek did not show up and the
local team was forced to use sub
stitutes. but these same substi
tutes covered themselves with
glory.
Up to the end of the fourth in
ning, it was anybody’s game,
with the score 0 to 0 and the
Bakers having the best of the
hitting. The visitors employed
two short ai med pitchers, whose
wings may have been all right
for bread-kneading b u t were
easy marks for the local batters,
all but one of whom got one or
more safe hits, with Mac Dale of
the high school connecting with
the first one, and later in the
game getting a two bagger. Sim
mons, Lee Bronson, George Smith
and Walter Smith each were
credited with one hit; while Go-
berg, Neil Bronson and Dale
took two apiece and Art Smith
rang the bell three times, with
one three bagger, that would
have been good for two home-
runs, had the old fence been a-
round the grounds.
Estacada played good ball, wit h
few errors and then not costly
ones. Three times the local boys
tightened up and supported Art
Smith sufficiently to retire the
Bakers, when they had from one
to three men on bases; in one in
stance, Walter Smith, a younger
brother of George and Art, who
was substituting in his best
clothes, caught a long fly, whip
ped it through to second base
and retired the .visitors with
bases full.

Eagle Creek Grange Picnic
Advertising posters are already
in circulation announcing the
ninth annual May Picnic of the
Eagle Creek Grange, which as in
former years, will take place in
the cedar grove adjoining the
grange hall, on Saturday, May 20.
This May Picnic is one of the
gala events of this community
and if the weather permits, a big
crowd will join the picnicers for
that day.
The names of the principal
speakers have not been announc
ed yet, but such special features
as a May Pole Dance and Scottish
Dances have been arranged for.
As usual, a big dance at Cogs
well’s Hall will wind up the af
fair, with the Bronson-Eriekson
orchestra furnishing the music.
Everyone is invited to attend
this picnic, to come early, stay
late and bring their b nches and
children.
an inheritance of the Smith fam
ily of Eagle Creek, was in evi
dence again this year, with
George still throwing the ball
across the diamond on a level
and Art putting it over the plate
at shoulder height and with plen
ty of steam behind.
The fans were all pleased to
see the umpiring again in the
hands of Ben Anderson of Eagle
Creek, who not only knows the
game with all of its technical
points, but is absolutely fair and
able to enforce his authority.
The chances of Estacada hav-
inga non-beatahle team this year,
are better than in years past and
with two or three of the Doug
lass bovs in the line-up hereaf
ter, the fans will have plenty of
chances to root on the winning
side.
Sunday’s attendance was good,
allowing for the inclement weath
er and if next Sunday afternoon
is pleasant, a big crowd will and
should be on hand, to see Esta
cada play the fast “ Brick Layers ’ ’
of Portland.
Game will be called promptly
at 2 o’clock and all players are
asked to be at the grounds by
j 1:30.
