way and King Rowe of Island City was
right up close to the front. Neither ol
tne tnree runners touched a iiuiuls.
. 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

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.

PIONEER DAY
Th grand old Pioneer of. Union
county are assembled today at Elgin in
their annual reunion. To all whose good I
fortune it has been in th past, to attend'
on of these reunions will know what an
enjoyable time they will hav renewing
old friendships and comparing conditions
that confront th people of today with the
purely pioneer condition when this beau
tiful valley was first settled. No on can
attend one of these reunion without
being impressed with th knowledge that
so many of th first settlers art still
living her. Th writerby personal ex
artence with all portion of this st ata
speaks advisedly when making the
statement that according- to population
ther is a greater proportion of th firt
settlers still owning their home in this
county than in any other county in Ore
gon. While this is a fact, ther is on of
th best reason for it. 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.
