with appetites that appalled 'their
mothers. It transpires that the boys
passed three days exploring the wilds
around Morgan lake, and falling to
catch any considerable amount of

would not bite In Beaver creek. The

A panorama was enacted on the La
Grande baseball park yesterday after
noon that stands a peer in baseball
dom In this city tor the season, when
Welser put a crimp in the La Grande
Babes In the first of a two-game
series for a side bet of R00. Though
It may sound as a duplication of the
old song that the- team was crippled,
still tho line-up shows such was the
case, and even as It was, Welser was
given the race of Its life to win. It
was a game highly Interesting. It
was repletei with spectacular plays,
always teeming with steady and heady
playing, but also marred In two or
three Instances by rank sins by locul
players. Welser shoved a man over,
or rather scored In the midst of a
comedy of errors In the first. From
thin tiftll the ninth inning, when the
real sensation of the gumo occurred,
It was as pretty a game ns has been
seen In this city. That ninth Innlng
was fatal as fur as the size of the
score was concerned, Cotteman was
In the first real bud hole of the game
ami was not pulled out of It. Willi
bunching of hlnglcs and a wnltz-me-around-Wlllle
the score was shot up
from one to four. Ehvell's "home
runner was a Pippin, crossing the
fenco within the (3 but limit.
In tho first canto Henri's wallop
was manipulated to throw him out at
first; Kochln soaked one over to
Houston, who fell alt over It, and af
terwards let the runner to the' key
stone bag by a tremendous heave to
Lortcll that went wide by a mile.
Harper walked and Rochon came In
on another wild throw. Meats was
thrown out, catcher to first, and
Gheen went back "stung." Lodell and
Childers went down before the assort
ment of twisters put over by Hen
dricks, and 'though "Zip" got a hit It
availed nothing, Hoffman flying out
to deep garden.
Childers' error In the second, In
losing an easy grounder, ended the
particularly bad sins. He atoned for
all shortcomings soon after by pulling
down a foul which he got by hugging
the fence close. This was one of the
pretty plays of the game.
The only time that La Grsnd w
stain threatened was In the first of
the seventh, but Zimmerman nailed a

fly to middle garden that retired the
side and let Cotteman out of a sorry
straight. La Grande's chance camej
and went In the eighth Inning. For
the second time this year, poor judg
ment In coaching met a shut out, and
many declare defeat, for the only
time that Hendricks gave the least
evidence of being loose-Jointed and
some watery-brained, was when the
La Grande hitting eyes were focused
and Lodell got to third. Fans swear
that a score would have meant more
runs later.
Lodell took a bruise pass, went see
ond on a pretty sacrifice by Childers
and went to third on a passed ball.
With only Childers down, Iwidell sig
naled for a suueexe play. He erred
In Judgment. Though La Grando has
worked this spectacular play tlmo and
attain with effect, It failed this time,
as Z:,i,mcimnn failed to connect with
a bunt. Loric!) died an easy death.
