The score was 3 to 2 in favor of Dallas. Austin was on the mound for Beau- mont and held the locals to three scratch hits until the. sixth frame when Owens got a base on balls|’ coupled with consecutive hits by Reese, Stitzer and Woolbert which accounted for three runs, enough to cop a victory. Reigles started for Dallas allowing the visitors four hits and two runs, one of the runs scor- ing on an overthrow by Ray. In the fifth inning Culver was’ sent to the mound and proved mid-season form by holding Beaumont to two: hits. He made five batters fan the breeze. One of the features of the game was a triple play made by Beaumont which deprived the Dallas boys of a chance for a rally in the first inning after Ray had singled. Owens . got a base on balls, then a long drive by Reese which looked like a real hit was caught by Zarnic who returned the ball to Smith who com- pleted the triple play. R. H. Rood, one of base balls old-timers, had charge of the game and kept the boys on their toes from start to finish, pleasing the fans with the “capable way he handled the game.

In many places it was almost impossible for motor cars and trucks to plow through the mud of new fills that were placed late last week and early this week. One-way traffic was necessary in the narrows where steam shovels, and bull dosers were at work on one side of the road and ‘concrete was being layed on the other. On Thursday night following the heavy rain conditions became so bad that Contractor Kersteen found it necessary to keep a force of men at work all night dragging the road and pulling motorists out of the mud. It seems probable that road conditions will become worse instead of better and that there will be no relief until one side of the road is opened to traf- fic about June 1. 0 LOCAL LAD BEGINS CAREER AS MARINE —_— The roving life of a U.
