TRIPLE PLAY FEATURE OF THE BIG CONTEST North Banks Go Up in Air at Critical Time and Three Runs Made on Passes. "If we are defeated by more than two scores, we will pay our own ex penses back to Portland," wrote the manager of the North Bank railroad baseball team to Manager Senders of the Athletics, 'when the local manag cr's dubious attitude strongly indi cated to the railroaders' manager that his team was not in the class of the Albany aggregation. The game was played yesterday af ternoon at the Athletic park and hun dreds of fans with the pent up spirit ot three disappointments, rooted Al bany to victory by the score of 10 to 3. It was a characteristic game of base ball, full of clever plays and sen sational attempts. For the first few innings it bidded fair to be one of the best contests of the season for both teams played an unusual close game, hotly contested from one inning un til the next, when Pitcher Monroe for the visitors became unusually wild, walked two men and allowed a single. This added to the offshoot of Catcher McHalc, served to let in three runs in the fourth inning on passed balls. While Albany was at bat with a man on first and second the sensa tional play of the game carne in the third inning, when Swan batted a line tly to il on rue who made a clever catch with one hand. Monroe whipped the ball to first and the first baseman slammed it to second before the base runners had time to even realize that the ball had been caught. The North Banks made their three scorese by their playing ami by their ;ibihty to hit the hall at the opport- tune time. llowever, they appeared to lose heart when the Albanv team gained three run.s on passed balls-and a couple more in the fifth innings by creditable baseball strategy. Patter- soll pitched for Albany and allowed several hits while Monroe was substi' tilted by Manning who was pounded just as had. I. vie lligbee made his initial appear ance in the Albany lineup this season by playing right field. Kennard made bis debut witll the Albany team yes terday at short stop and he showed up splendidly. He made two hits, several ni- ulnvc in finlil nnd ivrillrWl ill , runnine. Mickel made a bcautl : flll rllm,ig catch in left field when ', cvervbodv thought the ball was out of his reach. Swan. C.

POINTERS RELATIVE TO BEAUTIFYING COIinOMES Fruit Trees Planted ForProfit; What About Trees to Make Home Attractive. There has been in the past and is at the present time, much said about the planting of fruit trees for profit, but what about beautifying the home where you live and where your chil dren are growing up? An artistic front yard with a green lawn and some choice flowers is rest ful to the weary eye. A shady arbor with its thick foliage may give rest to the tired body. Flowers bring out the depths of child hood's nature instead of emotions borne down by strife. Remember, the home of one's youth is looked back upon in many years afterwards, their memories will travel thousands of miles back to the old home where deep in the mossy green the morning dew lingered, back un der the shadows of a friendly tree in the yard during noontide's heat or later on the old rustic bench under the arbor in the evening twilight, a sacred vision unhanished will revive the most hallowed memory of a duty that was sacred and sweet.
