Editor Observer; The first real meeting will be called this week to organize the Inland Km- ilie four-club league. Invitation!1 will be sent to the following towns ti meet In Pendleton: lioixo. Caldwell. Wclser, Palter City, La Grande, Pen h-tun and Wulhi Walla. Abose al hlngs ll la to be hoped that La Grand. -.Ill secure a fi-unchlsu and allow tie nbllc of tills lty the liberty of i Ittle recreation this summer. In wit nessing some good, first-class, clean baseball. Here Is a little question 1 would like to ask of all and I think after you stop and give this little Itiestlon Its due consideration, there are none who will fall to agree with ine. Would It not be awful lonesome and enough to give the public of La Orande the blues to see excursion running up and down through this city and see all the towns on the line en Joying nice, clean baseball and not a thing, doing here, but hunt a shady, cool spot and endeavor to fight the severe summer heat? No recreation of any kind. Why would It not be fai better for the public of this city tq b. able to enjoy themselves here a home. Have excursions .running It here to l.a Grande on Sundays am holidays, and keep the people here a ;iome and allow them recreation. Fur thermore, as an advertising medium there anything more prominent li the world that will advertise your city nore, (excepting newspapers) thai '.his proposition? Now let us speak of the cost. Thl- vertisln standpoint, most all the larger paper In the ' United State publish the score and standing of professional teams. In all my expert-1 ence I have- always found a crowd or professional baseball player to be gentlemanly In every respect Now, let the public of thl city get together and consider this question. I have traveled from coast to coast and I have never met a more friendly crowd of people, or a better little town with the chance of future development than this. I do not speak for myself under any consideration. I have been asked by many, "Would I stay In La Grande, manage and play with the "dub?" 1 vowed I would. So, 60 days ago 1 set to work and secured 25 ball play ers' terms and their signatures to contracts. Of course, from these men I will select the ten who will repre sent the club I will manage. Fur thermore, I will state, should t take the La Grande club and fall to win the pennant or second place. I will donate my salary to any charitable In stltutlon In the state, or divide It equally among all the churches. I have also been asked to take the Walla Walla and Pendleton clubs. Furthermore, as far as I am concern ed, whether or not the states of Washi ngton, Oregon or Idaho ever see base- iall. I will play professional baseball he same in 1908 as I have done since 1897, but t truly hope and trust I will be In La Grande in 1908, and furnish baseball for the public. Bo, trusting all will agree wan me ana help boost the situation which I have done for the past three months, working day and night, and hoping La Grande wll' e fortunate enough to secure a fran chise In the Inland Empire league for 1908, I beg- to remain, Yours sincerely, JACK O'BRIEN.
