Enterprise for the first of a series o
two games In this city. Captain Crowe
will aelect the team for the first game
tonight, and will limber up the aquad

standpoint, La Grande Is well equip
ped. The team has one or two who
an throw an outdoor baseball with
considerable effect, and are not so
low with an indoor ball. But in 8.
D. Crowe, aside from the others, the

nd regardless of what Enterprise

from the local team. The fielding of
the home team has always been a
pleasing feature of the practices.
