ALBANY DEFEATS
A Splendid Game of Baseball
Played Here Yesterday After
noon; Score 10-3. .
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. Bigbee. Colbert

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.

Grangers Are Behind Movement
to Have One Day Festive in
. Honor of Nations Birth.
PLANS ARE PRACTICALLY
UNDERWAY FOR EVENT
Grange Halls of Linn and Ben
ton Counties Are Unit in
Agitating Celebration.
That Albany is to have a one-day
celebration of the 4th of July this
year, with all of the attractions and
entertainments pursuant thereto, be
came known this afternoon, providing
the present intention of Grangers of
Linn and Hen ton counties mature to
such an extent that the event will be
deemed a feasible one.
The matter leaked out when a
prominent granger visited C. VI
Stewart of the Chautauqua board this
morning and inquired of the proba
bilities of securing the auditorium on
the grounds, for the holding of a spe
cial program as part of the dav's
events. Mr. Stewart's answer was
favorable, hut the matter will have to
come up before the official board be
fore it can be definitely decided and
accordingly it will be presented at the
next meeting.
According to the statement ol the
granger, it was decided at a meeting
ol one 61 the granges ot l.inn county
the latter part of last week that the
grangers should head a movement to
wards arranging lor observance ot the
day. The proposition has thus far
met Willi approval of other granges,
with the result that according to a
report the plans for the celebration
ire now under way.
Nothing definite could be learned
this afternoon with regard to the pro
posed plans as it was stated by au
thority that at present they are very
indefinite. However, it is a confirm
ed fact that the grangers are- behind
the movement and that it is their full

ley attended, large delegations com
ing from Eugene and C irvallis. Crcd-
table leatures, such as the big para'le.
and other festivities were given. Tin

the leeliii ' appears to be l.:gh in favor
of holding a similar celebration Ibis
year as it seeun thus far that no other
city in thi:t immediate se.tion will oh
serve the day.
