five trips to the plate.
Clatskanie drew first blood in
the very first inning, putting up
a marker when Gerry singled,
stole second and third and came
home when Heniges threw wild
in an attempt to catch him at
third. This ended their scoring
until the 7th when they shoved
icross three more counters on
singles by Gerry and White and

FEATURES TAILORING
BUSINESS
Tom H. King, Sr., who bought
the Vernonia Cleaning and Press­
ing establishment from P. Paul­
us a month ago, is making a
specialty of the tailoring part
of the business.
He does all
kinds of repairing for men and
womens, cuts and makes clothes.
Mr. King was for 30 years a
tailor in Detroit, Michigan. From
there he moved to Berkeley, Cali­
fornia, where he operated a shop
during last winter. For a while
he was in business in Albany,
Oregon, but prefers Vernonia.
Mr. King expects to bring hie
family here soon.
