dlcton gave their teams support dur
ug the season. 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.
