LA GRANDE TAKES ONE
Sunday's game proved a victory for the
home team. Gregory occupied the box
and for a few minutes was a little wild
and let the first man up, walk on wide ones.
After the second man had been caught
out, "Greg settled down and began
working in his usual form, Millard, how
ever, got a single advancing Knapp to
third, who came in en a single by Pel-
lem. " The next two : men up were
promptly fanned. But things happened
when Crawford came to bat. A beauti
ful threebagger was followed by a two-
bagger by McCool, ' scoring Crawford.
Seigrest rapped out a single, and while
the catcher was taking his time in picking
up a passed ball, the captain was sprint
ing madly to third. The visitors called
for a decision but Umpire Andrews rend
ered a verdict in favor of Seigrest. Col-
tins did all that was required ,of him, and
located a single, bringing Seigrest home.
In the third inning the Kids failed to get
a nil ana wis siae retired in snon oraer.
tsut me tnira inning was me inning tor
La Grande. Everybody took turn about
at hitting Wizard, and the bunching of
hits and the frequent errors" by the visit
ors netted six runs for La Grande, . In
the fourth, the Yellow Kids were more
fortunite. Pellerr. started with a single
and was advanced by Lieuallen hitting
out another single. An error by wild
throw by Childers saved the base runner
at second and the next play combined
with an error landed him on third. A
bunch of hits at this time gave Athena
three runs. From the fourth on the only
team to score was Athena, when in the
eighth they managed to tally one man.
After the fourth session Osborn was put
in to pitch for Athena and managed to
keep La Grande from scoring. The errors
made by La Grande were off-set by many
sectacular plays. . In the sixth Crawford
run under a stiff liner and fell the instant
he got his "mitt" on the ball, but hung on
and picked himself up amid cheers from
the grand stand. McCool played in hard
luck and the only time a chance came his
way, he stumbled in a hole and fell.
Cotner and Kooseer got two nice ones
apiece.

Will EE 0 PENDLETON TEAM ;
There will be no "Pendleton" ball team
at Walla Walla tomorrow, nor any sub
sequent Sunday, unless the people of this
city desire to organize a team themselves
The protest raised yesterday against the
efforts of the Walla Walla managers to
form a team for this city has been heard
and the attempt has been given up.
Last evening Robert Burns. O. R. k N.
agent at Walla Walla was in the city and
after learning the sentiment, here an
nounced the scheme was off. 'This state
ment he made to Carl &oly,, saying he
has no wish to attempt to form a team
from Pendleton unless his action met the
approval of the local people. He was
assured such approval was lacking.
The good judgment displayed by the
Walla Walla people in giving up their plan
for a Pendleton team commended by loca
fans. They doubtless undertook the task
under a misapprehension as to conditions
in Pendleton, and upon learning their
error gracefully withdraw. East Ore-
gon'un. .
