The crowds at Walla Walla were a farce, and yet Pendleton and Huker City believe that the .ex pense of transportation for teams from Boise to Walla . Walla a dis tance of 300 miles can be borne. As much as La Grande fans would like to have more professional baseball this season, they can nevertheless thank their lucky stars that' they are out of a combination where trans portation is almost double what It was before. The expense of maintaining a league composed of teams scattered like a biff league set of clubs, Is too groat for towns like Pendleton, and Walla Walla, especially, that give their teams support that is a take-off on a real crowd: ' As the news of the attempt reached La Grnnde fans, It set them thinking. Did Walla Walla and. Pendleton bring the life of the original baseball league to an abrupt end for the purpose of squeezing La Oramle out and bringing In a club that might have a team more on a par w ith the other three clubs, or did a revived spirit ot euiuumuniu animate the promoters soon after dis banding last Sunday? Has La Grande been Jobbed? That Is the knotty question facing the club Vlstory of the pennant winners. It wus the Garden City and the Wheat Town that drove deep the knife of de struction when Baker City and La Grande were planning on another lap around, meaning four more weeks of baseball.' It was Fendleton.'however, that Is one of the prime factors In the effort to reorganize the club. (Continued from page 1.)
