F B IO A Y , JU LY *3, 1937. T H E H. R. Softball League Starts Second Half URGES CARE OF SURFACE ON ALL FARM BUILDINGS Washington State College, July 17. —The expression, “ Save ihe surface and you save all," has peculiar ap plication to farm buildings, says L. J. Smith, head of the agricultural en gineering department at Washington State college. Thousands of farm buildings are depreciating with ex treme rapidity because their surfaces are not properly protected by the use of paint. Upkeep costs are usually relatively small if the minor repairs are not neglected and put off to some more convenient time, Many people do not realize that even with a high quality of paint, the surface is worn thin, and that eventually a repair job is necessary. Few realize how the ele ments actually rub off exposed sur faces. If the boards are not repainted, they check and warp. The wooden surface is no longer as smooth and as tight as it originally was; and the building is not as warm as be fore. When finally the building is repainted, it takes a great deal more paint and labor than would have been the case if the surface had not been neglected. The Hood River softball league embarked on the second half of it* schedule last week. Meantime, one game of the first half has yet to be played, Sun vs. Bonneville, and the outcome is still in doubt. The win ner of the first series is to play the winner of the second to decide the championship. The First National Bank will take the Sun’s place in the league for the second half, and the News is with drawing its team, »o that the new line-up will consist of the Bank, Consolidated, Bonneville, Wyeth, the Firemen, and the Odd Fellows. A change in game rules was also announced, regulations of the state association to be followed hereafter, instead of those of the national or ganization. Nine players instead of ten will constitute a team. Bunting is permissable. Players may take a lead-off on bases, but runners on first or second must not steal except on a passed ball or a wild pitch. Several games have already been postponed, but the remainder of the schedule is as follows: Wednesday, July 21—Consolidated vs. Odd Fellows; Friday, July 23— Bank vs. W yeth; Tuesday, July 27— Bank vs. Firemen; Wednesday, July 28—Consolidated vs- Wyeth ; Thurs day, July 29—Odd Fellows vs. Bonne ville ; Monday, August 2—Firemen vs. Consolidated; Tuesday, August 3— Bonneville vs. Bank; Wednesday, August 4—Odd Fellows vs. Wyeth; (By Rudy Schroeder) Friday, August 6—Bank vs. Consol Lots of fish were taken from the idated; Monday, August 9—Odd Fel lows vs. Firemen; Tuesday, August Mount Defiance lakes over the week end, and a number of limit catches 10—Bonneville vs. Wyeth. of very nice fish were taken from the upper creeks, for example, Clear Hoover Found Innocent Creek.
