With the score board slowly but
surely assuming a balance after RB.
kr City had pushed five men over
the pan after an awful clout cranlval
in which Zimmerman was relegated
to deep garden where he soon broke
the scorltig machine. Umpire . Tlce
stepped In and spoiled every chance
La Grande might have had to either
tie the score or better it yesterday
afternoon.
When La Grande was In Baker
City last time there came from time
to time, rumors of "rotten" umpire
decisions. Fandom here credited It
all right, but It was not until yester
day afternoon that It was brought be
fore the rooters with awful vividness.
If the admission Is any credit, let it
be said that It Is the genera! consen
sus of opinion among the fans' and
Dugs that Tlce tries to be honest, but
he doesn't know enough baseball to
be alive, nor has he an eye. Once In
a while he makes' a mistake and gets
a ball or strike right, but It Is seldom.
What claims he holds as an umpire Is
too deep for solution. Twice, yes, three
times, yesterday, he gave costly -decisions
that reeked with ranfcness.

When his work became so unbearable
that the bleachers were about to rub
his nose In the convenient mud hole,
he ceased his plainly one-sided work
and was decent. But that was only
In the last half of the ninth. By as
sembling hits In a beautiful manner,
Baker City tinkled the pan five times
In the third session. Cotteman went
to the pivot at this time and Zim
merman dropped back to his regular
position, where he soon brought the
grandstand to Its feet and time again
with remarkable, and spectacular
catching. .
A general shift took place In the
middle and right garden, but the right
was still weak, remaining so through
out the rest of the contest.
Van Horst started the pyrotechnics
fo La Grande with his home run fol
lowing Cotteman's two-sacker. Then
the score commenced to climb. In
the very next Inning there was a swat
party of no small means, for hlldcrs
and Zimmerman each got home runs
in rapid succession.
About this time Tlce got in his good
work as umpire. He displayed Ignor
ance of baseball rules that was appal
ling, and a shame. He crimped Lo
dell's score and' he called Cotteman
out In the eighth Inning when the
runner was nowhere near being
touched. A hundred eyes saw the
act and when Tlce gave his decision,
indignation ran rife. Special police
saved the umpire's hide.
M'hen the last of the ninth was fin
ished the fans went home highly sat
isfied with the work of most of the
boys who played a gooi game through
out, but many a fan took a vow that
Tlce .would not manipulate the Indi
cator today, and he didn't To be de
feated, is in the baseball business, but
to be handicapped with an Individual
who gives every Indication of being
buggy handing down decisions right
and left that are decidedly off, leaves
a bad taste In the mouths of fans
which Is not soon washed out.

Twenty hollow Iron tubes eight feet

dleton East Oregonian.
The boundary marks have Just been
sent from the eastern factory and will
be put In place along' the boundary
line between Washington and Idaho
north of Lewlston, where the bound
ary has been in dispute for years.
Owing to the fact that the old mon
uments marking the boundary had
been torn down or had decayed, the
line has been In dispute for several
years and a new survey was made, In
which it was feared that Idaho would
lose a strjp of territory two miles In
width and about SO miles In length
north of Lewlston.
However, the old line was re-established
and the boundary will re-

Moat people in Walla Walla have, and
that Is tho reason why so many contented-looking
business- men are seen
on the streets every day. They sleep
out-doors at night and get up In tho
morning feeling fine. In most of the
yards of the city are to be found
tents, an In some of the yards there
are two or three tents up, and every
one of them are put into use at
night. Walla Walluns have the "sleep
