Observer, 65c per Month
Scenes have shifted to and fro in
the Eastern Oregon Amateur league
the last two weeks with lightning
like rapidity, for following on the dls
bandment of the Cellar champions.
Baker City, the Huntington gateway
players, holding a strong cinch hand
on the penant, have now gone the
way of the Union team and are no
more.
Lack of finances are said to be re
sponsible for the gateway team was
conducted on an exepensive basis. The
team commenced to go to pieces when
Spoonover packed his grip.
It is presumed that Baker City has
grabbed some of the Huntington
players for they have strengthened
remarkable in the last two days.
By the dropout of Huntington, Cove
leads the league with Elgin and La
Grande tied for second place..
NO GAME SUNDAY.
Schedule Not Arranged In Time For
. a Game Here.
La Grande did not play anywhere
yesterday as the new schedule, made
necessary by the disbanding of Union,
had not been arranged In time for
the game. The new schedule is ar
ranged and now and if there is not
a change before Sunday the team
from this place will go to Klgln, al
though it may be changed so that the
team from Cove will come here.
