LA GRANDE VS. ALICEL
The game with Alicel tomorrow is an
annual event, as La Grande always plays
this team the first game whenever possi
ble. Two years ago it took eleven inn
ings to down the Alicelersjand last year
a more decisive
score.
There are so many new men in the
team that it is impossible to get a line on
j t ie team without attending the games
and a big crowd should be on hand to see
the season open here, as well as get the
first glimpse of the new players.
NEW GYM IN WALLA WALLA
GOOD GAME AT PENDLETON
Arrangements have been completed
whereby the Yellow Kids of Athena will
play the Spokane team two games in
stead of one. The Sunday game will be
played at Pendleton. This accounts for
the fact that Spokane was not brought
here for Sunday.
Baker City has ha upon a novel plan
for raising money for the San Francisco
1 sufferers. The scheme is a charity base
ball game. The band there is alo in
; sympathy with the plan and between the
I two organizations they have planned a
' day of entertainment for the fans of
t Baker City. Amateur teams in Portland
are doing the same thing.
COAST LEAGUE MAY DIE.
The destruction of California towns
especially San Francisco has no doubt
killed baseball in the south. Just what
will happen is of course impossible to
predict but the leading fans all over the
northwest seem to bring the question
down to two things: Either the game
will be transferred to Portland or the
Southern teams will fall out altogether
and Portland join the Northwest league
with Tocoma and Spokane. The question
will of course be settled in a few days.
, ATHENA HERE SOON
Manager Heisner has arranged two
games with Athena to be played here on
the fifth and sixth of May. Athena plays
the strong league team of Spokane today
and tomorrow and the scores from this
game will give a line on the real strength
of Athena.
WALLA WALLA AFTER ED YATES
Manager Tempany of the Walla Walla
Boosters, who has been negotiating with
Eddie Yates of Spokane for some time to
hold down the third bag, is still hopeful
that ne will be able to secure this crack
little player.
The Walla Walla team was completely
snowed under in the first game with the
Spokane team. The summary for the
first game follows:
score: R. H. E.
Spokane 1 2 0 0 6 2 2 1 0-13 14 0
Walla Walla 10000100 2 492

Blackburn and Lankard.
TRACK PROSPECTS BRIGHT
When May 25th comes around, follow
ers of the La Grande high school track
and field team may see a fair aggrega
tion of athletes. Other teams in the state
are getting ready for this big quadrangu
lar affair and La Grande will not be in
the rear if goo'd hard work can help.
There is not an abundance of material
here, neither is there too much spirit in
the work, but even as it is, the school
may have a good team. Mc Kennon seems
to have the dashes well in hand. In the
longer dashes he will have as running
mates, Reynolds and Bacon. Kilpatrick
will probably represent the school in the
distances. Goodnough will do the h;gh
jump act and Young is vaulting with
considerable ability. -The hurdles will be
taken care of by Hendricks. In the
weight events. Stover is doing the best
work at present, but Faulk, Watson and
Plckler are also out for these events and
the one who is to toss the saucer, nail
driver and shot at Union on the 25th day
of May will have earned his position. The
' mentioned candidates are only those who
are doing the best work jiaw and the
personnel may be completely changed
when the big day comes. The boys are
anxious to make the coming high school
entertainment a success, as a big attend
ance at this meeting will assure the team
of many needed articles such as discus
and vaulting poles.
I
BOYS ORGANIZE
The Boy's Improvement club of
the Central church have organized
athletic club to consist of a baseball
the
an
and
track team. Arlo Meyers is captain of
the track team and Frank Ralston is cap
tain of the ball players. Island City jun
iors will be the first victims of these
young amateurs and the athletic club of
the M. E. church will also cross bats with
them in the near future. It is hoped that
several games can be arranged with out
side teams. The track team is also anx
ious to meet any similar organization
under 1 6 years of age.
M. E, CHURCH CLUB HAS NAME
The Blue Mountain Athletic club it the
name the M. E. Church Sunday School
boys have adopted. They held a meeting
last night and adopted the constitution
and decided on a name. Monday after
noon at four o'clock the boys will meet
again and elect permanent officers.
LINE-UP ANNOUNCDE
Captain Siegrist has finally decided
who shall play this season, at least those
who will open the season. Five of the
line-up are well known in baseballdom
and need no introduction to La Grande
Fans. This a'so applies in a way to
Gregory the new pitcher. He has played
good ball although tie coast states.
That he knows the game, has a speedy
ball and good control is a conceeded fact,
Betzel, the other twirler, is a tenderfoot
alright but even a tender easterner can
play ball as he will demonstrate at his
first opportunity. He has played with
amature teams in Prescott, Wisconsin.
Collins has played with the California
state league, and while no one heie has
seen him in action, he will no doubt prove
a find. He has the weight, is active and
has a phenominal wing.
Klub has been in the city less than a
week but in that time has proven that he
can catch. His record in the East has
been an excellent one. He will demon
strate it to the satisfaction of every one
tomorrow. .

played in leading teams of Pennsylvania.

HISTORY Of OLYMPIAN CANES
(Scrlppa New Association)
Athens, April 2 Thousands of visitori
from all parts of the globe have invaded
this city, tne ancient seat of Hellenic
culture and prowess, and all of them are
looking forward with eagernes to the
speningof the great Olympic Games,
which will take place tomorrow at the
Panathenian Stadium, reconstructed in
white Pendelic marble and with strict
adherence to the classic style, on the
site of the Stadium of Herodus Attious.
Everything is in readiness for the
great athletic contest which will begin
tomorrow and will extend over a period
of eleven days, ending on May 2. The
magnificent stadium, which has a seating
capacity of more than sixty thousand is
completed and awaiting the enormous
crowds of spectators, which will be pre
sent at the opening ceremonies, to be
presided over by the King of Greece in
person.
Probably never in the history of the
world has there been an athletic tourna
ment of similar magnitude, at least not
since the days of Attica's grandeur.
Every civilized country has sent its best
ateletes to this gigantic touranment.care'
fully trained for this supreme - test of
their strength, and endurance.
The city, beautifully situated upon the
historic ground rising from the Piraeus to
the crest of the rock strewn hills, encirc
ling tne magmncent harbor, presents a
scene of indescribable beauty. Nature
has done a great deal for Athens and
human hands have added to the natural
beauty by tastefully introducing touches
of color by means of flags and buntings,
which have been lavishly on public and
private buildings. All the ships in the
Piraeus are displaying their flags and
tomorrow, on the opening day of the
Plympic Games they wil) break out in
full dress, with lines of flags extending
from bow to stern.
The quarters of (he athletes, which are
near the Stadium, not fat from the harbor
have been for some days the centre of
general interest Thousands of visitors
who had come early, to make sure of
accomodations,' watched the preliminary
trials and exercises of the athletes from
day to day, following their performances
with the keenest interest.
It was a great idea of the Greek Gov
ernment to revive the Olympic Games
after a lapse of nineteen centuries. Dur
ing the period of Hellenic greatness the
Oiymp.c Games were held once every
four yeirs for near ly twenty centuries.
In the fourth century after Christ they
were discontinued. Greece had fallen a
prey to internal dissention and barbaric
invasion and was disorganized and weak.
During the classical period, the Golden
Age of Hellas, every Greek was an
Athlete and the Olympic Games were the
great National Event which quadrannual
ly assembled thousands of the most fam
ous of the Greek Athletes to Athens, to
measure thair strength and nimbleness
against that of thousands of other
athletes from all parts of Greece, Great
was the fame of the victors in the Olym
pic Games in these days and some of
the names of the most famous and victor
ious athletes have been immortalized by
the records of Greek history.
About ten years ago the plan was sug
gested to revive the Olympic Games on
the same cite where two thousand years
ago the great athlete contests were teld.
The idea met witn general acclamation
and the first meet which was held in
Athens in 1896, was tremendous suc
cess. There were more than four hund
red thousand spectators present on that
occasion. The American team carried
off the greatesr number of points. Since
that Lime the interest in the Olympic
Games has wonderfully increased through
out the world. The completion of the
magnificent stadium, which was made
possible though the mun'fisence of the
late George Averoff. a wealthy Epirote.
cost fully three million Francs and furn
ishes an oppropiate setting for this great
est of all athletic tournaments.
Every European nation is represented
at this year's Games. The United States
has sent thirty-two of its best athletes,
prize winners in many national and inter
national contests and the stars and1
Stripes will be carried by the Americin
athletes in all the flat and hurdle racss,
including the great Marathon race, a
twenty-six and a quarter mile run from
Marateon to Athens. America will also
be represented in nearly all the other
track and fieid events, including the
Pentathlon.
