LA GKANDK INVESTMENT CO. if Mt We Want Your Wants SPORTS fl'RDr Hfi V 1iiiLii liner M OfTERS A Seattle paper publishes a story to . (he effect that Jack O'Brien Is going . to organize professional baseball In Elgin: Wsll;w,' Jwurt-risf -add io.'' rph. Relative to the statement O Brlen saia mis morning: "At present 1 u,m In receipt of many letters from Count, Northwestern, Western and Central league club own era and managers, asking me to locate players and secure them at the very best terms, to have them report imme dlately on receipt of transportation and also giving me full authority to i sign any player whom I think fast enough, leaving the sole Judgment to me as to their ability. So I am busy at present trying to locate several players who I know to be plenty fast enough for any class A or B league club. Still they have never played pro fessional baseball In their life. The fact of the matter Is, these young fel lows are unknown and have never had the opportunity to show their ability, aad one does not stop to realize how hard it Is for an independent player, whose baseball fame Is limited to his vicinity, to get a professional berth, but whenever I delect baseball talent and find a young player who I am certain has the ability, I will have him placed In professional baseball before he Is aware of the fact, and In a league I am certain he will make good. And when he does prove his ability and makes good, I am all the more satis fied. Last season I sent In all 12 or more players to class A and B league clubs, and had demands for 50. "At present I have several good of fers to play and manage clubsvln the middle west and away down south, and must say two of the offers are ex ceedingly good, the contracts calling for double the amount usually offeree) by any class C or D league club. Aside from giving me a large per cent of the purchase money received for players, I may develop and sell. S I am seriously considering two of the offers and will closo with one of them Inside of two weeks and will begin I in mediately to Blgn all my players for the season of 1909, and you can say for me when the season of 1909 is over I will forward you a picture of another pennant winning club, as promised" La Grande last season. think the public will agree with me that I fulfilled my promises In every respect regarding a pennant-winning club, and had we had one or two more good pitchers the La Grande baseball club would have cme Just as far from losing a game as W. J. Bryan did from being president. As for baseball In La Grande and eastern Oregon, I have withdrawn completely, still not with any ill feeling or grievance toward i'ne puuuc. or city of La Grande. "There Is no reason why this city will not support a good baseball club. and I trust and hope that the club to represent La Grande In the newly pro posed league for 1909 will be able to bring another pennant to this city. I extend my best wishes to the public, the club management and Its base ball club, for a most successful ami prosperous season of 1909." It Is safe to predict success for Mr. O'Brien wherever he may go, for his record here last year brands htm as a versatile, manager, capable of whip ping a sijiiad of mediocre players into a pennant-winning aggregation. only two field goals thrown one by each team. The other points were scored on flee throw from fouls, wlrch In the second half were fpilte frenin tit. The line-up follows: IVndleton Center, Gertrude Jor dan; forwards, Eunice Vogel, Nona Johnson; guards, Ruth Gibson, Luetic Ruder. , Baker -Center, Hazel Panting; for wards, Manilo Cunning, A'elma McMur ren; guards, June Dudson, Gertrude Thompson. i it t tj j U DHLL GAME S O RACE IE! FOR UNI Conditions seem to be shaping them selves for a race meet at Union this year say, early In July. There will by that time be about 30 good horses In the country, we are Informed by V. E. White, the Union horseman, and probably most of them could be brought here. A race meet in con- Junction with n Fourth of July cele bration could be made quite an event In our city. It Is yet early, perhaps, to discuss such mtaters, but they arc mentioned simply that the public may have time to think the proposition over. Should Union decide this year tc celebrate, an eitrly announcement to that effect should be made. Itepuoll- can. TO REFORM RICHLAND PEIIEION GIRLS WIN Baker City. Jan. 23 (Special.) Hy the score of 10 to 6 the Pendleton Kirls" basketball team defeated the high school girls of this city last eve ning In a fireworks game of the inter- itlng sort. The fii-st half ended 1 j 3, but In the second half Pendleton' gained a lead that could not be over taken bv h Uakrr girW. During the entire game there were jne forces or law and order may yet prevail In Richland, the mining town not far from Baker City, where the scum of the earth has been gath erlng for the past several months, ac cording to the following from the Ba ker City Herald: , News from Richland state that a united effort is being made by all be lievers In local option to prosecute of fenders and put a stop to any other kind of lawlessness that may exist In the capital of Eagle valley. To further promote this law en forcement spirit an organization la clolmed to have been formed known as the Vigilance committee. In a way it resembles the Ku Klux Klan of the south during the civil war, although some who do not favor the organisa tion assert that the picture of Carrie Nation is the order's emblem. Who belongs to the Vlarilnnon rrm!ttec !" never to be known. They are sup posed to work In silence, not letting the left hand know what the right hand doeth. But. like a church trln' or any other affair of great import ance, little things have leaked out and as a result all of Eagle valley Is said to have secrets. One arrest has been made as a' re sult of the Vigilance committee's work. Charles Keller Is charged with selling Intoxicating liquor contrary to the lo cal option. He was arrested Wed nesday and released on $250 bond. Mr. Keller is In town today and to n reporter for the Herald stated that hi had nothing to say of Importance re. atlve to the matter, other than that his trial would probably come off Mon day In Richland before Judge Clarke, and It would then be Incumbent upon those making the charges to prow them. Disappointment Is the lot today of the high school basketball tuam.. M Ut d rek of most strenuous kind of practice, the team was picked and all detiills were luuiiy lor the k enter the Cove camp tonight. Sick ness among Cove players Is given the cause of postponing the game, fo the Cove manager assures the loc management of a game In the nen future. The I n (iramle Line-up. Last Thursday night Messrs. Lin drum, Scott and Nelson acted a:! Judge In picking a team to play Cove. Th line-up for this game may not be al tered much this yeur, though som changes will undoubtedly occur. Tin Judges found the greatest difficult'' l picking two guards.. Five men "ver In the field and only one of th"m 1 superior to the others In any ma i ke; degree. All facts considered, the b s performance Thursday evening v;i put up by Schofleld and Giddc. ! addition to these two, there were thrv others, namely: King, Ingle and Kurlt who run neck and neck races. Kinrr' tenacity In sticking to his nvn placv him in first class, but Ingle is mm'' stronger physically and in many : Is considered an excellent guard. Then too, Earl Is a very aggressive pi-tye hut lucks King's "slay with his mi' spirit. Geddes, .'ho was given th. place Rt guard, has much to learn n that position, but on account of hi ability to find the baskets, Is a ma: needed for floor work. The rcgula team, chosen on merits. Is: Forward)' Chllders and Caipy; center, Hamilton guards, Schofleld and Geddes. Sub ! stltutes. King, Ingle and Earls. Thus far during the season class cap tains and managers have controllei basketball in the school, but this weel a representative captain and manage have been chosen. Chllders heads th players us captain, and Earls Is th' school team manager. From now on for a period of two months, perhaps, all athletic Interes. will center In basketball. A hart' schedule is being prepared and t make a creditable showing, the squa.' will continue to practice with the sanv vim that characterized this week': work. There will In all probability hi no permanent line-up the captait Dlannina to pick a five Just before each srame. This will give all con testants for places a fair opportunity IN 9t H. M. by th.
