Monday evening the Baker City
Herald went af some length Into the
"terrible" Incident that occurred op
the streets of La Grande following the
ball game Sunday afternoon with Ba
ker City. Today we 'reprint a how"!
from the Baker City Democrat which,
perhaps. Is a little more vindictive
than the Herald's "expose." The Ob
server always looks with distaste on
anything bordering oi the acts of ruf
fians, but from what Information
there is at hand, the visitors from
Raker f'ltv xoemlnarlv failed to-take a
Joke and converted fun Into serious
ness. If the editor of the Democrat
would hide himself In a large city on
the eve of a football game between
rival colleges he might learn some
thing about breaking up demonstrative
parades on the streets. If the La
Grande boys did. commit deeds unbe
coming sportsmen, The Observer ex-,
tends apologies to the Baker City vis
itors, but at this writing It seems the
visitors were a bit hasty, and the ar
ticle following" herewith, written
while the writer was still warm un
der the collar:
"Sunday there were 247 tickets sold
for the excursion to La Grande. The
Baker boys who went over were bent
on a good time, and wanted to see a
good game of ball. The band went
with the excursion, but their number
Is not Included In the number of tick
ets sold.
The game was fought ouf with the
best of feeling until La Grande lost
the garaa, then they were In for a
fight. Some of them. The good citi
zens of the city are exempt from what
ever castlgatlon may be given to the
laraklns pf La Grande who wanted to
create a disturbance, unmindful thnt
the Baker citizens were visitors to the
city and should have the courtesy of
common decency If such was possible
from the La Grande' outlaws, some of
whom are in the La Grande baseball
team. If there ever was an aggrega
tion of unsportsmanlike men gnthered
Into one company, commend us to the
La Grande baseball team. The Baker
lioys were In marching lino going
through the streets of La Grande when
the disturbance bftfnn by some of their
undi sintl.liM. I' d by Pat Foley. Thr-y
attempted to break the line of the,
linker boys with Dr. Notz In the lead.
Foley evidently did not know thnt
Notz wits the iiulc-tcst nnd most unuf-'
rending man In the world, until Im
posed upon, ond tlun lie turned Into
a magnificent fighting machine, and,
as Foley bumped up against Notz, the
doctor landed on F"l y" neck and
Foley laml.d on his neck In the
strrvt. Another came after the doc
tor and he landed him, and there was
evidence of a fierce flitht until the
Pnker visitors, led by C. It. McCollnrh
and James Oshorn and others, calmed
the crowd, but tho La Grande boys
learned that the linker boys could
handle their dukes as well as the
ball und tho fowardly asallants
sneaked sway and nursed their sores.
They fight llko they play ball, all
wind and bluff, and for tho good of
the game and for the decency of clean
sport they will bo known no more In
the league, llolse will take their
place in the lengtie game. Wo cannot
blnme the good people of La Grande
for the conduct of the ruffians who In
fest their illy. The , good citizens
should chain up the buffoons whom
they know live In their midst until
such time as they know their visitors
depart. The good name of the city
demands this. There was a discour
tesy thatwas Inexcusable, When the
linker Concert band rendered a con
ceit In front of the hotel, that not a
corporal's guard of tho citizens ac
corded them the courtesy of coming
out to heor the best band In eastern
Oregon. Notwithstanding that, some
of the La Grande hoodlums had
thrown s stone Into the bell of the new
bass horn and done Irreparable dam
age. We cordially Invite the La
Grande people to visit Baker City and
will give them the best times of their
lives. We will show them the cour
tesy a host should extend to Ms
guests.

as the Democrat calls them, were, not
