GREAT CAIE
CRAMMED WITH SENSATIONS
LONGEST GAME PLAYED HERE IN
MANY YEARS.
SMALL CROWD EKJOYS REAL TflEAT
Bradley's Single Scores Winning Run
In The ICth.
Bradley's smashing blngle In the
last half of a 16 Inning game at the
Lincoln playgiounds yesterday, broke
up what is the longest contest of the
national pastime pulled off in La
Grande In many years. Oldtime fans
can't recollect a longer one. Filled
with Innumerable errors, double plays
long bits and short hits, daring base
ruunlng and some boneheaded work,
the long contest kept the little bunch
of spectators on edge for three hours.
Elgin and La Grande alike kept the
same man on the stellar mound
throughout the game and with good
and bad plays alike gave fairly good
support to their pitchers.
Unmarred by any Jangling whatever
and character'1! by. Its extreme
l-sngth,- V.'n ..!? was truly remark
able.
Nc!atn struck out only nine men,
while Auborn retired 15 worthy gladi
ators wearing the La Grande blue.
JSlgin s greater amount of errors
counterbalanced this, though Brad
ley's liberal quato of misplays nearly
lost the contest for La Grande on sev
eral occasions. His winning swat
puts him on the honor roll, anyhow.
La Grande's first run was a forced
one, Auborn walking Stoddard with
the stations filled, Woods scoring. The
appended score by innings shows the
clospness of the score into the ninth
Inning. With Elgin leading in that
canto. Proe flew out to first, end
Bradley registered at first by the er
ror route; he stole second soon. Chll
deis' drive to third was muffed and
overthrown to first and when Bradley
raced to third, Pattin overthrew to
Christiansen scoring Bradley. The
fans settled down for at least one
extra inning for the score was four
all. -
The fans got a touch of high life in
the first of the extra Inning. Chris
tiansen's grounder to Bradley was
cleverly handled back to woods; Tow
ner's smash to Proe was equally
clean and Childers throw to Woods
retiring Halgarth and the seslon was
the third feature. Woods was up for
La Grande,, but flew out to first, Nel son
biffed the ozone unavailing and
George was thrown out Auborn to
first. In the eleventh canto Auborn
got first on Stoddard's muffed third
strike and second on Bradley's glar
ing error, but he died there. Chris
tiansen and Dubol fanned, and George
pulling down Thomas' long drive to
the right garden.
La Grande was benched in one, two.
three order, almost, notwithstanding
that Proe got a two-bagger. He was

It reads like a book of class A
