Boys From Stony Creek Won Close Game Monday
The boys from the Stony Creek Indian reserve wore a long time in reaching Prince Geoi'ge for the baseball match with Ohe Pnnco George; team on Sunday. A.s a matter of faci the shades of "night were falling when � they rumbled into town: but Ur's was not altogether their fault. They had the road, the weather i\nti tire trouble-to contend with, and the net result; wa.s they were several hours overdue.
President Mickey Brown of tin Prince George club took a ph loso- . phical view of the situation. The boys load come a long way for a iiairu1 of ball and since they could not have it on Sunday there was no reason why they could not be accommodated on Monday, and a twilight game was nrranged accordingly, It mode :i dint in the bankroll of the local club, but it was worth while. The boy- from Stony Creek are good sports :md incidentally they are rather iroo.1 ball players. Nearly all of them have good batting eves, they field well, and their � chief weaknesses iri the pitchers" box However, not much n-f'ori be said in the way of apology for their twlrlers fK they managed to trim the Prime George team with a 4-3 score. ,
The ramp sta-rted about 40 minute-late, which has to be chalked up against tho local matnagement, As the Prince George tram takes to the road on Friday M wa.s derided to g;ive i\U three of the club's pitchers some exercise. Capello started thr game and was followed in turn by Friend and Rogers. The boys from Stony Creek liked Qapello's offerings, and in the opening frame they gathered two doubles and as many singles and crowded three runners over the pan.

EXPECTED TO REACH VANCOUVER THURSDAY
Vancouver. July 29�Hon. H. H. Stevens is expected to reach this city on Thursday. The head of the new political division 's making speeches at several points in his progress across the dominion. He is making something of a sensation w'.th his charge that the price of cattle in Canada is fixed arbitrarily by the head of one of the dominion's packing houses. After an address here Mr. Stevens will make a flying trip to Fenre to look after matters connected with his election in East Koot-enay. His friends predict he will have an easy thing in securing his return in East Kootenay. but this vr*U turn largely on whether the Conservators decide to place a candidate in the field. East. Kootenay has returned, a Liberal member as often as it ha-returned a Conservative, and if. as seems probable, the C CF. also place a candidate in the field Mr. Stevens1 chances of election will be none too good.
