At the ball p rk, a thousand braved the extreme heat to see La Grande trim Huntington to the tune of 8 to l. The Only thing Huntington got was the greased pig. The slippery animal was released in a midst of yelling boys and started off ate fast clip. Piggy soon out-distanced his pursuers but it was the Huntington pitch er who was the hero. One of the pret tiest long dive tackle' ever witnessed on a foot ball field brought Mr. Pig to the ground. The tug of war was perhaps one of the most exciting events of the day. Perry proved too strong however, and had the ribbon about an inch to the good when time was called. Island City ran away from La Grande in the hub and hub, but when it came to the wettest La Grande was the winner However Island put up a good race, tear ing the distance off in fine shape but f r some reason, the nossle did not hold and immediatly after getting water, it cami off, thus disqualifying the race. La Grande jogged down the' course and got water, thus winrflngThe"event. " "" " The fire works display was rather long drawn out but spectacular. he grand celebration ended late in the night when the grand ball in the commer cial ciud came to an end. l he hall was orowdad early in the evening but later everyone present emjoyed themselves im mensely. ' Jim Murphey, attired like . "Cy" in the Sunday colored pictures, was generally mixing with other people's business in such a way as to keep the people laughing continously. Cy experienced many hair breath escapes but always cam Out I appy and smilirg. THE BALL CANE La Grinds won the ball game with big margin, Huntington put up a much stronger gam of ball than the last time they were seen here, but for all that they were too easy for the home team and after the fourth inning they played tag with the visitors. The first session opened with a score for the visitor. The second man up got a hit on an error by Collins and scored soon after. La Grande came to bat and demonstrated that they could easily hit the Huntington pitcher but th fielders were always there and La Grande failed to score. The second opened by a pop-up which was missed by Childers, but good field ing soon put th necessary amount of men out of business. Van Buren's fly was caught but Gregory got a nice one followed by a sacrifice hit by Childers and a safe one by Rupert which scored Gregory. In t th rj, two flies and a strike out did the railroaders. Huntington repeated the trick. ' The fourth opened with Huntington duplicating its' previous trick and La Grande started its scoring machine by Collins getting one of his two-baggers. Singles by Van Buren and Childers brought Collins home. The fifth saw Gregory doing good work. The two flrt fen were promptly fanned, the third man up got a hit, th fourth walked but Childers caught th next fly. Cotner got a hit for La Grande in this inning and stole second. Young got to first and Seigrest got a hit bringing Cotner In. In the sixth, an error by Cotner broughta Huntington man to first, but Gregory had a strike up. and th next batter shot a liner to Crawford who as sisted Childers in getting th forced runner and Childers doubled to Van Buren, Collin was due for another two bagger, followed by a sacrifice hit by Van Buren. A hit by Gregory took Collin horn. Rupert walked and Cotner got a hit, and a general mix up on th visitors part netted a total of three runs, Rupert, and Cotner both scoring. During the first of th seventh, Gregory and Van Buren got one, Gregory retired a batter and Childers got a fly. Good fielding by the visitors soon ended th session. Gregory had th two first men guess ing in th eighth, and although th next three men up got a single apiece, neitnsr on scored., At this notch of the game Van Buren got a hit. Gregory walked Childers got hit by a pitched hall and a wild throw brought Van Buren horn. During the mix-up Gregory also touched th home plat. Flie by Rupert and Cotner were caught, retiring th side. During the first of the ninth, Hunting ton's first man got a hit but Seigrest caught him napping at first. Th second man struck out and Childers got th last man. Th gam lacked snap and vim, but La Grande played a steady gam and after the fourth, the story was practically told. . The visitors got nine hits off Gregory and those who hit th Huntington man were: Seigrest one. Collin two two baggers, Van Buran twice, Gregory twice, Childers once, Rupert one, and Cotner twice.

The richness of our soil and natural surrounding and re sources are second to none in th ' state and the usual inducements to eenk for thoaedesirable elements for the building of happy, prjspjrous homes wa here" n such an ab mdanca that few indeed sought elsewhere There were over 200 who left on th train this morning which only represents a porti n, as hundreds in th northern part of the county will so bv team. This is on ol the annual events of this county and while th members annually grow less It will ba many year yet before these reunions will hav to be abandoned a ther are yet hundreds of pioneers still hale and hearty and not a f native born who will take plaisure in continuing th pleasant and profiuolo gatherings. f UNERAL TODAY The funeral of C.
