Inbinil Empire Ia-oitiio (iamn Can
it'llctl for July the fourth.
The head of the Inland Empire
leugue has taken another dig at Ia
Grande. This time It Is upholding the
decision' reached a few days ago rel
ative to the Fourth of July arrange
ment of gnrm-e. President Thompson
has decreed that the La Grande base
ball team must leave home on the na
tional holiday. .The result Is that
there will be club games nt Raker City
and lit Walla Walla, but In La Grande
there will bo nothing doing In the
professional bam bill lino. La Grande
h!is supported Its club wlOi gutu re
ceipts more Itlielnlly than ni,y other
cl'ib In the league, und Munngors Jiick
O'Brien and Grant Lincoln . affirm
Hint the La' Grande fans should be
given an opportunity to see tho Fourth
celebrated with A good game here.
Because all other clubs hive bren
aided by public subscriptions to s
much great! r extent that the ' La
Grande club has, President Thompson
Is Inclined to give outside towns the
preference.
What WalU Walla Thinks.
La Grande has a fast bunch and
their playing Is well worth seeing.
The home club needs strengthening In
several places. Then It will be fully
as good. If not better, than the lead
ers. As fsr as the pitching staff la
conceraed, many of the fans think
that the Oarden City staff of twlrlera
Is tha best In the league, and with
good support will win m big majority
of tht games. Walla Walla Eulletln.
