Steele HOOD RIVER, OREGON COMMERCIAL CLUB DAY BIG SUCCESS ADDS $425 TO PUBLICITY FUND Many Took flair Holiday and Enjoytd Sports, Dinner and Dance, and Surest That tt be Made Ainoal Affair. Cnnnieroial Club day was a success. From tbe time the last merchant turned tbe key lo tbe lock of bis front door until the last bar of muslo float ed through tbe ball room everybody was out to bare a good time and to help tbe club. Nobody worked, ex cept tbe ladies wbo weie on the sap per and danc oommittees, ..and to them should largely be given tbe cred it of piovidlng Hood River with two of tbe mottt enjoyable public enter tainments ever given in tbe olty. Without tbelr assistance Commercial Club day would not have been possi ble. Many thanks then to them and also tbe men members of tbe commit tees, who apared no elfoit in making tbe affair a success. Tbe amount realized lor tbe publio ity fund from tbe various entertain ments was (125, and tbe idea of set ting aside a day eaob year foi this purpose was discussed by many, who say that it brings tbe town and coun try people together in a way that oould not be accomplished otherwise. It is suggested tbat ii it should be come an annual event tbat a whole day be taken and tbe affair so arrang ed tbat much larger oommittees oould be appointed so as to distribute tbe work of getting it up on many instead of comparatively few, Aooording to the pre-arranged pro gram stores and business plaoes of alt kinds closed promptly at 1 o'clock. Tbe band gave a abort oonoert on tbe square at 1 :30 and the orowd then went to tbe ball game. Base Ball Game. Several hundred people were in at tendance at tbe game, many of them ladies, and the band enlivened tbe scene and put ginger Into tbe players. Anybody who attended witb tbe ideas that they were to witness a roor con test were agreeably disappointed, as the exhibition waa well worth tbe money. The game was oalled at 2:30. Chris Niokelsen was appointed auuouncer and stated in stentorian tones through a megaphone tbat aa tbla was tbe first ball game to be played in ilood River flouutv Mayor Lawrence Blowers would pitch tbe first ball aud Truman Butler, vioe-presldeot of tbe olub, would oatcb it. Later thee gentle men performed tbia act successfully, amid the cheers of tbe spectators. Tbe announcer also Informed tbe orowd tbat tbe opposing teams would be known as tbe Newtown Pippins and Spitzenbergs. Tbe Newtowni bad their left arms decorated witb yellow streamers and were as follows : R. W. Kelley, c ; Bert Lender, 1 b ; L. E. Morse, 2 b; O. C. C'irrin, 3d b; R. W. Piatt, ; Joe Vogt, 1 f; J. E. Nichols, o f ; and II. II. Bailey, r f. Tbe Spitzenbergs wore red streamers and were: Joe Tompkins, p; Geo. Saigent, 1 b; Frank Davidson, 2d b; Del Band, 3d b; A. Oliver, i i; J. L Henderson, 1 1; Dr. Jenkins, o f ; and Cbas. Clark, r f. Dr. F. C. Brosius was captain of tbe . Spltzenbeigs and Cbas. Castner aoted in a like capacity for tbe Newtowns. John Castner was selected as umpire, Jack Rand acted as water boy and tbe game was on. u tbe first Inning the Newtowns took tbe Held, Pitober Wright threw out bis chest and the Spitz were re tired In one, two, three order. Tbe Newtowns Tailed to. aoore in tbe lirst inning also. Id tbe aeoond Tompkins, Morse and Sargent crossed the plate for the Spitz, and Curiiu and Bailey suooeeded in making two runs for the Newtowns. Judge Henderson, who went to bat lu tbe third for the disciples of tbe red ribbons, made a safe bit, stole seoond and third and oame borne on Clark's out. The first three men up for tbe Newtowns in their balf of tbe third, Wright, Kelley and Lender, scored, and tbe score stood B to 4 in their favor. In tbe fouitb tbe Spitz developed a batting streak, led by Sargent and rapped tb ball for Ave inns witb the assistance of several fumbles by tbeir opponents. At tbis stage of the game it looked as if it was alt off for tbe yellow boys, aa tbey failed to score in tbeir half of the fourth. In the fifth tbe red men added an other telly, making tbe aoore 10 to 5. In tbis inning, however, tbe New towns braced up and sent three men around tbe bases on bits by Lender, Currin and Pratt. Tbis put new en ergy into tbe arm of Pitober Wright, ho put oo more steam in tbe sixth inning and banded tbe (3.25 box men a buuob of goose eggs. Tbe sixtb was a Waterloo for tbe Spitz iu an other way also, as tbeir lower priced but more prolliio opponents put on their batting clothes and raced around the sack for eight runa. In their gam- j bols around tbe bases tbey were aided very materially by a bad case of rat- ! ties on tbe purl of tbe fielders. j lo tbe seventh, wbiob was tbe last inoing, tbe Xpitz again failed to score and tbe great cc litest was over, tbe Newtowns winning by tbe soore of 1C to 10. Score by innings: , Spitzenbergs 0 3 0 5 1 0 0- U Newtowns- 0 2 3 0 3 8 x-lii otf or the Came. Tbe feature of tbe game was tbe cos- tames of tbe players. Anything went from pajamas to tijbts. Aa a slab artist Ed. Wright is no slouch. He played the positiou like a j veteran. R. W. Kelley, who officiated behind the bat for tbe Newtowns, was out of bis class. He waa too good. It was very evident tbat tbis was uot Kelly's Hist attempt at backstop. He put up too good an article of bull. Bert Lender,, who held down first sack for tbe "Pippins," made tbe most aensational play of the contest when be stopped a hot one with bis bead piece. " Druggist Currin, third sack man for tbe Spitz, thought be aas rolling pills fore few inniuga, but Dually disco v ered his mistake aud' played tbe game in good style. ' As oustodiau of second bug, Sberili Morse handcuffed ' tbe sphere witb alacrity. Ho waa also there with the throw aud out short tbe carreers of several ambitious Spitz. Banker Pratt at abort refused pay ment on several hot oues and let one or two Hies go uncollected. Later be redeemed , himself by depositing a couple of safeties. Joe Tompkins kept the Newtowns guessing pretty well until the sixth, when tbey put him in cold Btorage. As first basemau for the Spitz, George Sargent played like a veteran. Geoige disdained to use mlts and stopped everything tbat oame along. Frauk Davidson was Johnny ou tbe spot on seoond. He covered lots of grouud and also did some good stiok work. Del Raud convinced everybody that he is tbe greatest one-handed player in Hood River county. Rootera devoted a good deal of at tention to Shortstop Oliver. His con tempt for theit remarks, however, was supreme. Judge Henderson showed his admir ers oo the bleachers tlmt the old man Is still there wbeu it comes to aport. He piltered eecoud and third sacks and pouuded tbe leather in good shape. Dr. Jeukius didn't have his gas ap paratus witb him and the frequency with wbiob he fanned the air was evi dently painful to him. Harry Bailey was supposed to play right garden for the Newtowns, but oamped near Drat base. Some one rapped a long distance fly and before Uarry oould get iu a call tbe batter oiroled tbe sacks. Later bo made good by rapping tbe ball and carting bis bloomers around the bases for run. Somebody said Joe Vogt bad a glass arm, but tbere was nothing to it. Joe's throwing from left field put blm la the professional class. Undertaker' Nichols' didn't take kindly to flies, but was a big bug with tbe stick all right. He laoed out tbe borsebide for a two bagger when tbe sacks were full. Charlie Clarke, after getting to first on a safe bit, tooK a foolish powder aud was caught napping by Pitober Wilgbt. He retired gracefully. - Morse, who caught for tbe Spitz, was kept busy locating wild throws from tbe fielders. He was tbe hardest worked mau on either team and play ed a good game. Dr. Brosius as captaiu of the Spitz lid bia playiug from tbe aide lines. The dootor was kept busy trying to keep tbe score straight. As oooster for the Newtowns Charlie Castner objected to bia biotber, John's, style of pack on several do oislous, but was ordered out of tbe warehouse. After this be stood on tbe side lines aud aooused brother John of being a cull when it oame to um piring. As far as our limited inforuiatiou goes this is tbe only game where so much leather was chased In tbe out field without a putout. As substitute Claude Markbam was uot oalled on for his services. An chored on tbe side Hues near first base he employed his loatber-lunged voice to euoourage the Newtowns and to put confusion Into the ranks ot tbeir opponents. Al Loelller substituted at short for Banker Pratt in the seventh inning, but opportunity was fickle. It didn't give Al a obance to distinguish blm self. When Chris NIckeUen decorated bia derby with a red band it waa all oft witb tbe Spitz. It was the bird ot ill omen that presaged defeat. It was rumored during tbe game tbat tbere waa a conspiracy between Carl Ross, Jack Rand and tbe city doctors. Carl furnished the ioe cream and Jack the green peaches. The Tng of War. Tbe tug of war took place at the conclusion of the ball gHme and if possible created more excitement than tho former. A number ot heavy weights who bad beeu selected to pull on the two teams did not show up and others were chowon to act in tbeir places. The a'ruggl), for supremacy ws betweeu the East Side and Hood Kiver, aud Col.

Charaoteristio of tbe energetio for mer residents of Iowa who now make Hood Kiver their borne, tbeir big an nual outing, picnio and meeting last Thursday was a suocess. From all parts of the valley and olty members ot tbe Hawkeve society and tbeir friends gathered to listen to oratory and music and indulge in feasting. The gathering of tbe olan took place at Grange Park and it is estimated tbat fully 0(H) were present. Tbey arj rived ou tbe grounds in tbe morning and at 11 o'clock proceeded to tbe ball, where the exeroiaea were opened by tbe audience singing "Amerioa." Kev. J. W. Rigby tben delivered tbe invocation, after whioh President Laraway introduoed the speaker of tbe day, J. Van Neioe Bandy. Mr. Bandy delivered an eloquent and fin ished address. In his opening re marks be said: Ou this oocasion of tbe annual oele- bratiou of Iowa day it Is my pleasant task lo speak for the old Ilawkeye state. This 1 will do with anticipated pleasure. 1 feel that this duty baa a decided purpose, for no state, princi pality or province in all history will furnish grander lessons in patriotism, iu righteousness, in government and eoonomlos. This pleasant task I am suie ia in my mission in the great division ot labor uuder the guidance of all super intending providenoe. For tbe east has ever been tbe repository of wis dom, of experience, ot preoedent and ot tradition, while tbe west ia the land of enterprise, awakening and of opportunity, where those trained in the old school ot the east find a field for iite'a experience iu tbe new sobool . ot tbe west. Iowa today ia east to Oregon Jand west to Massaobusetta, and in this she ia fortunate, for abe possesses tbe wisdom of tbe east and tbe action of the west. It ia good for a web-footed Hawkey to go back to tbe old Iowa district sobool and learn new lessona on tbe old benobes. It is needless to say tbat I love tbe old Ilawkeye state, for it is tbe laud of my boyhood. My earliest recolleo- . tiona are grouped about tbe little sobool house on oue oorner of my fatber'a farm. It was in Iowa tbat I first beard the boys about, "Come In, tbe water is fine." Tben, late in tbe afternoon, when my oonsolenoe smote me because I knew it was time for tbe oows to be in the baok lot, but when I attempted to leave tbe oool water the boys threw mud on my baok. Tben late In the evening oame tbe gloom of not oniy the setting euu but of late chores. Tbat evening might be gloomy, but joy oometb in tbe morn ing;, the joy of oatobing bull-beads in that delectable stream inaptly oalled Skunk river. 1 love Iowa and today I recall the hazel brush thicket after tbe first snow and tbe old brush heap surrounded by fresh rabbit tracks. Witb what tense excitement I tramped tbe brush, grasping the old muzzle loading shot gun. That gun was a bored out musket tbat had done ser vice at Sbllob. Tben tbe flash, a cot tontail from uuder the heap and across the snow, tbe bang of tbe gun, a back somersault, and no rabbit. Tben standing with ten other buaky Hawkeve lads on tbe gridiron, sweat ing, bleeding aud gasping for breath, but tbe pig-skin ball safe baok ot tbe tbat white line between tbe two goal poeta. From tbe bleaoberi out in tbe clear, oool October air rolled the Iowa yea : "ilawkeye, ilawkeye.H. U. l., I Uawkeye, ilawkeye, B. U. I." My forefathera oame through the Cumberland gap from Virginia into Kentucky, following upon tbe heels ot Daniel Boone. Tbey met tbe soalp- taklng Indian and tbe scalp-buying Britisher on that "dark and bloody ground," and conquered both. There tbey fell upon the wilderness and worked out the problems of civil ization witb axe and gun. Witb them came the preacher, the schoolmaster aud tbe planter. Witb tbe preacher was the handbook of civilization, the Bible, witb the aoboolmaster were the tour It's, reading, 'ritlng, 'ritbmetic, and the rod, and that waa education all tight; with tbe planter oame tho negro and slave problem. The circuit reading preaober, like Peter Cait- wrlght, strong in word and list. solved the moral and religious prob lems. The sohoolmastei worked out tbe problems of civilization by tbe rule ot three, but blood aione solved tbe problem of the negro slave. lie then told of the wisdom of Thoa. Jefferson and statesmen of his time in making the Louisiana purohase, part of which included what ia now tbe state of Iowa, and stated that tbe great development ot the state oould be summed op in two words, "Yankee sagaoity." Continuing Mr. Bandy said : Our nation is great, not for its size, not altogether tor tbe achievements of its people, but largely for the Im mensity of ita natural wealth. Prao tioally all wealth originates in the soil and the maintenance of soil fertility is tbe rightful heritage of posterity. Nay, more than tbis, the lawful guar dians of these natural reaouroes should protect them from tbe vandalism of exploitation of the vulgar, get-rlob-quick, destructive methods employed on tbe bonanza farms of tbe great northwest and in tbe lumbering busi ness. It is a flagrant disgrace to American citizenship tbat tbe gover nors of states, senators, congressmen and state officials have been and are iu league witb tbis vandalism to ex ploit aud devastato tbis nation of ber natural wealth and thus to impoverish posterity. Oregon is a laud of lordly forests and untold natural wealth, yet today 1 read in our paper tbat it will (Continued on Page 8.)
