CAMP TWO TEAM CLEANS HOUSE AT McCLEARY SUN. The fast Camp Two team played a 1hot game with the McCleary tossers at that place last Sunday andtook the millmen into camp to the tune of 20 to 5. The camp boys had McCleary badly outclassed and scored on them evey inning. SCORE AT OLYMPIA SUNDAY IS 9' TO 8 BUT SHELTON SAYS THEY CAN'T DO IT AGAIN THIS WEEK. What baseball fans consider a demonstration of pure luck for the Olympia Senators caused Shelton to lose the game in that city last Sun- day after they had the game fairly won. In the ninth inning the score stood 8 to 5 in Sheltor's favor and the game looked like an easy vic- tory, but two batters were walked to base and a short hit put a third man on. This started the.ball rolling and Olympia had four more men over the pan before they could be stopped. The final score was 9 to8 in favor of Olympia. In order to prove to the local fans what Shelton .can really do under proper conditions a "Come Back" game with the Capital City team will be played here this Sunday. The boys are determined to make a de- cisive clean-up on their noisy neigh- bors and indications are that the fans will witness the hardest fought game of the season. Following is the box score of the game at Olympia last Sunday: SHELTON AB R H PO A E Hall, 3b ........ 5 2 3 1 1 0 Lowe, c 4 1 1 7 1 1 Frdson, ii':::::: 5 1 2 8 1 o Carlson, lb ...... 5 1 2 6 0 1 Miller, cf ....... 5 1 2 3 0 0 Spiker, 2b 4 0 1 2 1 0 Slade, ss ........ 4 0 2 1 1 2 Jemison, rf ...... 4 1 2 2 0 0 Wright, p ....... 4 1 0 0 1 1 Low, c .......... 4 1 1 7 1 1 Camp Two played godd ball 8 15 25 6 5 throughout and only three errors were R H POA E made by them while the Grays Har- bor lads had 10 errors chalked 1 0 1 4 0 2 1 2 2 2 against them.

"ROTTEN POLITICS" We hear a good deal nowadays about "rotten politics" and "crooked politicians," and probably if we stopped to analyze and dissect the matter we would not find the people who take a real interest in the political affairs of the country so bad after all. We find first of all that people average up as a rule where;er we may find them--in politics, in business, in ordinary walks and employments of life and on the farms,--roughly in three divisions: good, bad,and indifferent. Those who take interest in politics are not always seekers only for the emol- uments of office, the great majority of them, in fact, never have and never would seek the best office within the gift of the people. Nor do they take interest for personal gain of any sort, but solely because they have become imbued with cer- tain ideals and beliefs gained from study or obser- vation during the journey of life, and grown to set principles which they carry out in their voting. It would hardly be fair to class such as "crooks." Those who do seek office must be called upon to bear the odium (?) directed against politics, and being just average citizens they will generally be I found to measure up fairly well with those others I who may cast reflections against them. The truth is, there are are failures in political life as well. as in business or industrial life--men who fail under trial to measure up to their responsibilities, or who lack education, training or ambition to take full advantage of their opportunities. Their hearts were right, they meant well, but turned out to be "weak sisters." There are, of course a fair share of those who prove "bad," but they are soon found out by the people and find themselves obless as well as artyless From their ranks spring the leaders of Pew parties and the noise about "crooked politics." The office-holder knows his tenure is limited to "good behavior" and he tries to carry out the wish of the majority of the people, do his duty to the best of his ability, and make his work stand out better than that of his predecessor. Because few of the citizens take any interest in public affairs until the eve of election it is up to him to keep the political fires smouldering between times and carry on his party organization, aided by the few faith- ful in their principles. If their aims are unsemsn their interest can hardly be termed "rotten." They are at least frank and honest in defining their principles and party ties, and above the trick- ery, dishonesty and political treachery of entering the primary of another party, seeking to corrupt !t and gain ends not ,for the general good. This s about the aeme of "rotten politics." STATE 'LAND SALE SHOWS BIG RECORD OLYMPIA, July 29.--State Land Commissioner Clark V. Savidge is- sued figures today on the recent land sale held by his department, which shows the sale to be the big- gest in the history of the state dur- ing Mr. Savidge's administration. 2 Te sale was made July 6 in counties, with 145 applications, net- ling a total of $277,851.75.
