With oceans of "pep" and chatter
iog like a bnnob of magpies, Bade'
Bears bagged a victory ont of Little
jobn's Millers Sunday afternoon,
the opening game of tbe Blue Mono
tain Leagne schedule.
fi nun tt oua UIUUUDU tUD OUJO
Pelland's error at second, in Walla
Walla's half of tbe fifth, when with
tbe bases loaded and two down, be
muffed an infield fly from Laukards
bat. Before tbe tbird man could be
tncked away, Walla Walla bad milled
arcnnd tbe oironit four times tbe score
standing 0 to 1.
Despite tbe faot tbat a cold, raw
wind was blowing dust into tbe faoes
of tbe players, tbe game was of tbe
snappy variety from start to flnisb.
.. The Millers bad tbe distinction of
putting np ber end of tbe game with
out having been together before, going
up against Walla Walla's six weeks
practice edge and ooaobing from Mr.
"Hunky" Shaw, but tbe ooys were in
tbe game all tbe tme, and should bave
won .5 to 3. However, errors like
"pigs is pigs" count in tbe game when
made at tbe rigbt time.
The fans are pleased witb tbe show
ing made by tbe Athena players and
are banking on some good ball playing
when tbe team gets intosbape. Brown
oaught a good game, showing up a
stunning good whip arm. Working
at a disadvantage by having to throw
against a stiff wind, he nipped the
Walla Walla players at second easily,
and gave, his pitchers all advantage
possible. Pioard and Smith worked
straight balls almost exclusively on
aooount of tbe oold, and tbe best the
Bears oonld do was to collect fonr bin
gles off tbeir delivery.
Tbe infleld showed up fast and tbe
unanimous verdiot is tbat there will
be nothing to it but a "stone wall"
in a short time. Clark, at first base
and Owens at short are speedy demons
and are after everything tbat oomes
tbeir way. DePeatt and Pelland were
not up to tbe form of tbe others, but
strenuous workouts should soon bring
tbe kinks out. In tbe outfield Atbena
has a "find" in Bundy. This warborse
from tbe Dakota diamonds, is proving
to be a Htioker from Stiokerville and
is covering tbe center garden witb
plenty of ginger. Tbe two Je
Pioard and Smith, in rigbt let nothing
get away from tbem and over in left,
Lieualleu is delivering the goods.
Bade introduced Hanson, tbe Ton
ohefc Vikinc. on tbo monnd and tbe
Millers gleaned six safe ones, one a
two-baener. off his delivery. Athena
scored in tbe seoond. After Brown
flew out to left, Pioard was passed,
be started to purloin second, and on
Lankard'a wild heave to oatoh film,
camped on third before tbe ball oould
be relayed into the diamond, and
scored on a passed ball.
Walla Walla soored twioe in ner
half of tbe tbird. Blaokman was safe
at first, when DePeatt threw low to
Clark, was sacrificed to seoond on Sea
Christ's out, todk tbird on a wild pitob
and soored on Beok's out, Brown to
PeJland. Harman drew pass, stole
seoond and soored on Bade's single.
Both sides blanked in tbe fourth.
In the fifth, an error, two pasnes, a
muffed fly and a single, netted Walla
Walla four runs. She soored one
more in tbe sixth.
Smith and DePeatt soored in tbe
seventh and Pioard and Lieuallen
brought two more over in tbe ninth.
n this inning, witb Bundy at bat and
Owens on seoond, Atbena bad a obance
witb two men gone, to soore, tut tbe
little shortstop in his anxiety to soore,
attempted to steal tbird, overslid the
bag and was tagged ont.
Soore by Innings.

Exciting Experience In West Afrioa
With These Deadly Pests.
The driver ants are a terrible pest in
West Africa. Crawling over tbe ground
in countless thousands, invincible to
anything but a wall of fire, they bring
quick death to every live thing unfor
tunate enough to be caught in their
path and leave behind tbem the skele
tons of lizards, rats, sheep, cattle and
even human beings. In bis book enti
tled "We Two In West Africa" Major
F. G. Guggisberg recounts the terrors
of one night when the pests invaded
his house:
I heard voices calling, "Get up; the
ants are on us!" Sitting bolt upright,
1 found the room apparently in dark
ness. In reality the lantern on tbe
floor at tbe foot of the bed was still
burning, but as I threw my hand out
and felt the heavy weight of tbe mos
quito net I suddenly realized tbat it
was coated witb ants so thickly that
it kept tbe light out as effectively as a
velvet curtain.
Two bounds took me out of that
mosquito net and tbe but. but it was
an uncanny feeling when my feet
crunched through the living carpet of
ants. Hitting the side of the doorway
in my hasty exit, I brought down a
shower of the little pests on my head
and shoulders from rafter, wall and
roof, and then tbe fun began.
Some people say that the ant buries
his head in you and leaves it there,
others that he drives some other part
of his body into you. I didn't worry
about examining which theory was
correct. It did not affect the torture
of the result. For the next ten min
ues I was standing in a state of na
ture in the open, tbe rain beating
down and the boys, hastily roused,
picking ants off my body by tbe light
of torches.
I was so engrossed in this new sport
that I quite forgot about Lees; then I
suddenly realized that he was not
there. I won a moral V. C. by going
Into that infernal place and hauling
him out lie was a pitiable sight in
the torchlight, his hair waving as If
in a breeze as the ants crawled
through it, his body black with them.
To pick them off was too slow a Job.
I seized a tin of kerosene oil and
poured it over him, sweeping the en
emy off in thousands. One of my ham
mock boys rushed up with a flaming
torch, meaning in the kindness of his
heart to give master more light, I
yelled to him to keep away, and be,
thinking be was being urged on,
rushed toward us quicker than ever.
Luckily Lees' cook stopped him in
time, and a tragedy was averted.
We spent the remainder of the night
under a tree. In spite of the discom
fort of it all the persistent rain, the
mist, the smarting pain of tbe ant
bites we could not help laughing at
the idea of our .helplessness against
the little brutes that were occupying
our comfortable huts. However, the
only thing to do was to wait patiently,
until they cleared out.

Parents, Note the extra lining attachment covering parts which are not made doable, thus
relieving a great deal oHhe strain attendant upon the seams and other parts.
Scats, knees and arm-pits are points necessitating particular attention. They are
made of only reliable materials, perfectly put together and in style, right up to the min
ute. The label tells sewed in every coat. It is plainly the duty of every mother
before buying to carefully analyze the above. Come in and convince yourselves of its
genuineness.
