Excitement wsa intense throughout. especially so from the sixth inning on, when he home team began to gain slowly and take down the lead that Enterprise had gained In the second Inning. Cryshaw went to bat for La Grande and got to first, second and third on errors. Crows wslked and Williams landed a hit. scoring Cryshaw. Thus La Grande placed its first tally on the sheet ' )-.', Savage cams up from Enterprise but waa easy meat for Crowe. Pace went to first on an error and Bllyeu walked. A sneak-in and an error al lowed the two tallies for this Inning, Crowe ending the session by striking out one, two. Ferguson walked In the first of the second half and Kooser got first on errors. Button slammed a two bagger, .. scoring Ferguson. Button came in and Cryshaw got first again on. errors. A hit by Crows scored him. Then the scoring ceased as far at La Grande was concerned, but En terprise brought In five. After that It was one, two, three order generally, for both teams, until later in the game, when La Grande pulled up, be ing two points behind, and two men on bases In the ninth. The timely hit failed to materialise. The limited crowd enjoyed every minute of play. The anap and vim necessary in the game kept attention at a high pitch. La Grande players surprised them selves as much as they did the audi ence. With a whole winter's practice to tneir credit, the visitors, with the . exception of one Inning, showed no better team work than the home players, who have been organised within the month. The Enterprise catcher Is easily the star of the vis itors. His. work is spectacular and constant. i v s . ' Crowe struck out men right and left, but Cryshaw, handicapped with severely bruised finger, sometimes dropped the final strike, allowing men to gain first. Only four Mis were mndo off Crowe. Th'S, hnwuver. were long ones, and the- inflt-lil had but few attempts. " Wl'llains was fa vored the most at first and got every thing that came his way. The game tonight promises to be a hummer. There will be a slight change in the line-up and with the experience gain ed last evening, the home team will be in position to forestall any duplication of the second Inning last evening.

HARD LUCK fOR mm Two army officers on their way to Spokane, were left In Baker City by yesterday morning's westbound, and to get to their destination In time, or dered a special- train from La Grande. An engine and caboose waa sent to Baker City, but It had bad luck com Ing back and did not reach La Grande until 6:20 last evening. A better en gine took them on to Pendleton last evening, where they could make con nection with a 8pokane train. The men were evidently pressed for time, and seemed nothing daunted j by their frequent mishaps. The en gine sent from La Grande to Baker went dead and the Telocaset helper had to bring them to this point. iVfHRS HOME l IS ROBBED Thieves have been working abou the valley, apparently centering thel attack about the Herman Vehrs farn A valuable gold watch and chain, be longing to Mrs. Vehrs, have disap peared, a watch chain from anothe. neighbor, and a cake from the pantrj of still another.
