The Pendleton Commercial club now has a paid secretary and the earnest desire of many members dur ing the past few years is at least realized. J. E. Keefe, who was elected as secretary a month ago, enters upon his duties this evening. He came down from Weston this morning with the ball team and this afternoon is playing his last g.me with tho nine of which he has been the leader dur ing the past two years. It was presumed until today that Keefe would not begin his duties un til the first of the month but upon arriving this morning he announced to President Smythe his read'.ness to start work at once. The news was received with pleasure by Smythe who has been waiting anxiously for h:s arrival. By action of the board of manage-s the care of the club rooms is left In the hands of Secretary Keefe who is authorized to employ a janitor to do the menial work about the establish ment. It is the intention to have the rooms thoroughly cleansed and some alterations in the arrangements may also be made. A vigorous campaign for new mem bers is to be started at once and an effort will be made to get every busi nessman, professional man and prop erty owner of the city upon the club roster.

Ac cording to a telegram received this morning by Carl Cooley, secretary of the league, from Frank Innls, secre tary of the Garden City club, all such talk Is "bunk" as is the rumor to the effect that Manager Bade will refuse to bring his team over for the game a week from next Sunday. Tho tele gram follows: v "Friend Carl: Any report about protest of game is false. Give re gards to boys and let 'er buck. Will see you Juno 11. "FRANK ENNIS." While many of the Walla Walla fans are sore at the loss of the game, they have too much good sense to be lieve that they liavo any just grounds for protest. They know that tho game was won fairly If by good luck and that Umpire Buerstatto officiated hone.-tly and Impartially. Regarding that decision which re sulted In Pitcher Mitchell or Walker being put out of the game the.r has been much comment and discussion. Many are under the impression that the umpire called Dickson's bunt which rolled out of the diamond a fair ball, which Is not tho case. As Buerstatto and Mitchell were running over to the ball together, the one to wa'.-h its course and tho other o pick It up. the former said, "It hit fair," but a moment later In rendering his decision, called It a foul and motion ed Dickson off the bag. Mitchell, however, was much Incensed because he thought Bueistato had called it fa r and proceeded to abuso him, al though he did not call him vile names as reported. Buerstatte told him If he wished to finish tho game he would have to stop "ragging," where upon Mitchell retorted that he didn't caie whether or not he finished the game. After he had repeated this several times and refused to go ahead with the game, Buerstatto ordered him to the bench and refused to withdraw his order upon the suppli cation or threats of the Walla Walla players. Mitchell, himself, even adopted a placating tone, without re sult. The feeling here Is that ho brought the punishment on himself and that Buerstatto was justified In benching him. Fully fifty per cent of tho mem bers of the 1911 graduating class of the Pendleton high school will con tinue their education in some college or university. This ts an unusually high percentago although Pendleton has sent a large number of students to institutions of higher learning for the last seven or eight year9. Tho University of Oregon and the Oregon Agricultural" College will get tho majority of the students who will ro on to college, ench of these insti tutions drawing four each. Brooke Dickson.

James Hartwell. nresldent of tho student bodv. lender of tho debntlng team and valedictorian of the class, will also probably go to Oregon but will defer his entranco for a year. Louis Anderson, salutatorlan, Bea trice Brownell and Elmer Dahlgren have all signified their Intention of entering O. A. C. next fall while Ar thur Jordan Is contemplating the same course, but has as yet made no definite decision.
