12 To 6 Score Tells Tale
Locals Hit Ball Hard.
YOUNGSTERS GIVEN TRY-OUT
All Show Up Good-Fast Echo Team
Plays Heppner on Local Grounds
Tommorow Afternoon,
"We have met the enemy and they
are ours," said Admiral Perry a hun
dred years ago after a hard battle on
Lake Erie, and this refrain was chan
ted again last Friday by a full-mouthed
chorus of Heppner fans when the
local willow wielders took the measure
of the Umatilla horsehidc jugglers.
The game began at 2:15. At 2:20
Umatilla was leading, having scored
a couple on an error or two and a
couple clean bingles. Blakeslee whs
pitching for Heppner and Umatilla
The Home Team Paraded
The Bases
batters were as much surpriccd over
their hits as he was. The locals fail
ed to tally in their first time at bat.
McMurdo shot a pop fly to the pitch
er. The Herald man lost the ball
over tho creek, getting two bases on
the hit. But was out a moment later
trying to steal third. It was appar
ent that the Umatilla pitcher had
little on the bull and it was only a
matter of time until the locals were
in the lead. As individuals, then
were several good players on the
visiting team and they gave their
twirler good 'support. Krrors were
quite numerous on the local team's
scorecard but they managed to hold
Unuitilla to six runs.
Spinnlim Almost Fell In the Creek
Catchlnii a Lonu Fly.
"Mug" Hayes was given a try-out
for the position of first-string catcher
and his showin was good. Two other
high school players, Fisko and Young,
at second and field looked good in
faster company. They both hit and
rim in a way that makes the efforts
of some of the veterans look sick.
With u little seasoning they will make
good ns regulars. Jones playing
right field, will be given a regular
berth but will probably bo shifted to
the infield. Ho is a heavy sticker.

NOTES OF THE GAME.
A bigger crowd than was expected
witnessed the game. It looks as
though week-day ball will prove a
Umpire Johnson Handles the
Game in Fine Shape,
success as the season advances am"
'.he games become faster.
Manager Case will give his young
talent every possible chance to mak
?ood. By doing so he will build uj
i team for the future as well as foi
'.he present.
Bert Johnson of lone, who umpir
2d the game, was a little off-colo;
out his decisions were never ques
'.ioned to any extent by the players
They all know that Johnson stands
'or fair play and calls them as h
-,ees them. He will be asked t
landle the indicator for the game to
norrow with Echo. Many fans con
:ede Johnson to be the best umpire
n the state outside of the Coast anc
Northwest Leagues. There is nt
ag-chewhig when he is handling th(
.;ame.
The rain in the morning cleared of
iust in time for the sun to come out
md warm the air The diamond was
iinooth but soft. Several ordinarily
:asy outs were converted into hits by
)oth sides on this account .
The next game scheduled by thf
mil club's officers is due to be pullet
ff on the local grounds, tomorrow
iday the 15th, with Echo. Echo al
:o has a team in the Irrigation lea
gue and they have been playing somt
'ast games for several weeks. Mana
;er Case has figured out a few
hanges in the line-up which he fig
ires will strenghten the local team
onsiderably. "Mug" Hayes will pro
lably be given another try-out at the
jackstopping position and Blakeslee
'ill start the game in the box, witl.
larlan in reserve. If the fans want
o see a real classy game they shouli
lot fail to be on hand Friday. Game
itarts sharply at 3 o'clock.
PLANNING AND HEALTH.
No community can afford, view
ed from an economic basis, to
grow in hucIi wise us to Increase
the hazard of sickness to Its peo
ple. Every dollar spent for pub
lie Improvements or permitted to
be spent for private gain should
have a life producing result. It
( Is nlnioHt Inconceivable that nny
citizen or group of citizens would
sanction pluns or projects that.
If curried nut to their full ex
tent, would prove detrimental to
public health or welfare. Cer
tainly none such would with
knowledge aforethought give
their approval to lines of com
munity activity that cau have
only the ultimate effect of under
mining public health and morals
either through restriction it need
upon those natural aids for the
promotion of health or through
the development of such condi
tions as will perpetuate or spread T
disease. Dense notice that 1
state none would with malice
aforethought so blight his com-
inanity, lint tnany do, without X
this unsocial spirit, project plans
Hint have the above effect, and
their action receives public sanc
tion because we see results only
la terms of their Immediate con
MMpieiuvs. The Insidious Intlu
eme which may come from an
Inanimate mass through a long
process of slow development
does not Impress us while It Is In
the process of coming. Looking
back over Its period of growth,
we can gauge It. or. contrasting
the Mate of focIhI well being
produced by It with that pro- T
duced by n' tnoru constructive
plan elsewhere, we cmi estimate
Its cost. As communities, how
ever, we seldom attain a con
ception of this cost. Only when
Ihe soclnl engineer reveals the
ugly handicaps thus Imposed
upon me city is mere any re- T
nll.lng sense of the value of tbe I
one and the loss of the other. T

SUFT.NDTSSOH NAMES'
IMPROVEMENTS
NEEDED
By S. E. Notson, Co. Supt.
The State Board of Health has
made its report to me concerning the
conditions found in the schools in
spected by the State School Nurse
who recently visited the schools of
this county. The Board will provide
the services of skilled men to aid in
remedying the defective sight of pup
ils whose parents are unable to bear
the expense themselves. The same
offer applies to other defects which
interfere with the school work of
pupils.
In several districts the outhouses
are not what they should be. Some
need repairs, some need cleaning,
some need new vaults, and some need
a coat of paint or whitewash to ob
literate the obscene writing and vile
pictures. In two districts one of the
outbuildings has been blown down.
The Board insists upon a compliance
with the law which requires two out
buildings, even if the school is small,
unless the pupils are all of one sex.
In two or three districts new out
buildings should replace the old.
In nearly all the districts, the water
supply is properly taken care of,
;hough a close jar with a faucet
would be a decided improvement over
;he present open pail used in some
listricts. The open pail, even when
e pupils are provided with indivi
lual cups, is not the best means of
:aring for the water supply. Where
ihe source of the water supply is
lear, a large jar fitted with a bub
bling fountain, which can be pur
chased at a small cost, is better than
;he individual cups, for pupils neglect
to take their cups home to be scalded.
The Board feel that the floors
ihould be oiled. In this country the
lust is one of the difficult things to
contend with. The school boards
would do well to provide some sort
f sweeping compound for use on the
loors, and floor brushes are better
.han brooms for sweeping, and in the
md are cheaper. The sweeping and
lusting should be done in the evening.
V sweeping compound can be made
it a very small cost. Few people ap
ireciate the dangers arising from
lust.
While it is not mentioned in the
eport, the light in many of the
ichools is not the best. In District
-Jo. 34 the light is admitted only
rom the left side, almost the entire
ide of the building being windows,
.'his is the correct method. The light
a regulated by means of tan colored,
.djustable shades, which are the same
and as those used in the school build
ngs of Spokane. These shades cost
i little more in the beginning, but
hey are much cheaper in the end, for
hey will outlast a dozen of the ordi
lary shades. Then they are so much
letter. The light can be properly
egulated at all times. When the sun
s shining on the side having the win
lows, the shades may be drawn en
tirely over the windows, yet the tex
ture and color enables a soft light of
sufficient quantity to enter the room.
In several of tho districts, the mat
ters needing attention have already
:3een attended to. In all they should
e attended to without delay.
State Supt. Churchill has called up- j
in me for a report in regard to the '
work of the parent-teacher organi- I
nations of this county. It is to be re- j
rretted that more of these organiza- i
'ions were not organized during the '
year. Where there have been such i
organizations, much good has been
iccomplished. Portland has led the
mtire country in this line. At the
pokane meeting, Mr. O. M. Plummer
if the Portland Board of Education,
-old of the great benefits which had
een secured by the organizations in
hat city. Similar reports were made
"rom other cities. Some of tho speak
;rs making the reports said that at
irst some of the teachers. DrinciDals.
And superintendents were afraid to
mcourage the work, thinking that the
lrganizations might, be "meddles
ome," but in every case they were
low in hearty accord. The organi
sation at Lexington, under the lead
lrship of Prof. Doak, has done some
nost excellent things this year. If
mch an organization were formed in
ach district, many of the things criti
:ised by the State Board of Health
would be remedied without any diffi
culty. The purpose of the organiza
tions is to secure intelligent co-opera-
-ion between the homes and the
ichools and to secure the best equip
ment for school work which the dis
trict can afford. The school and the
'ome are the two biggest factors in
lie education of the child, thouch not
'.he only ones. Sometimes the teach-
irs forget the part the home has in
-he work, and think that the school
in the only factor. Sometimes the
parents want to put all the responsi
bility upon the school. Both positions
ire erroneous. The solution is found
in the parent-teacher organizations, j
