What a drubbing La Grande - got
yesterday In the wind-up game In the
Pendleton series at the La Grande
baseball park. For the second time,
every player' but one or two In the La
Grande contingent was up in the air,
and they were up there a long ways.
Everything was reversed, to what It has
been heretofore. Instead of La Grande
doing almost perfect team work,
warm pitching and spectacular hit
ting, It was Pendleton who . did all
these things. It was Pendleton that
made eight hits In the fifth Inning, and
It was Pendleton that got nine runs In
the same Inning. It was Pendleton
that placed its hits with remarkable
skill, so remarkable !n fact, that no
man on earth could have brought
down half of them. Put it was La
Grande, that let McConl, the nifty
sprinter, steal homo from first base.
The fans had a tender feeling for La
Grande untl' that Inning, but after
that there' was nothing to,' It. Fan
were up screeching for McCool when
they saw Van Horst's vain attempt to
get Chllders' heave from Infield, and
saw the outfield Juggling the ball, The
incident Illustrates quite clearly how
La Grande was playing.
It has been Fuchel here and Fu
chel there until the boy was out of
trim for throwing. Even after he had
been slaughtered In the fifth and Cot
teman went In, the Pets continued
their swatting. La Grande got one
score though It was on a passed ball
that hit the grandstand. .If we re
member right, the sedVc was IS to 1

What's the matter with thcrn Pen
dlctor.s, anyway?
The balloon went up Immediately.
Fine ascension.
One of the fans was heard to mourn
because he let slip a chance -to win
120 by betting on Pendleton.
Strike three. Tou're out. Rotten!
notten!
Johnny, come on, now What's the
matter with yon?
Don't be - dlxoouraned. Johnny.
You'll pull out yet. Ah, shut up!
