On May 21st, La Grande will con duct the Eastern Oregon track and field meet, and event that will draw something like 200 athletes and many more adherants to the city. The meet will be held on the . fair grounds track this year, and ' a special train will be provided by the management to take the crowd to the grounds. Already communication Is under way to provide a referee from Wall a Wal la or Pullman and the meet will be conducted in a way that will give Jlhame to the sloppy manner in which It was conducted last year at Pendle ton. Pendelton had neither track or system and the meet was a drag and a fiasco. If strenuous work and ad herence v SSCtSt ;"!nytiun the meet this year will progress with out a hitch. , V i: Another meet that is attracting considerable attention right now, at Cove especially, is the Union county meet on May . 14. On that occasion La' Grande and Cove will meet as the only two teams in the county and some good records are sure to result for the teams are .quite ev enly matched this year. La Grande won this meet at Union last year by an overwhelming score. First and foremost right now ' is .the tri-state meet at Walla Walla In which La Grande will figure con- v . .. , spieuously. Last year this city made the finest showing in its history there, and it has now come to be y re'eoned with by the dopesters and scribes w!;o have anything, to prog nosticate about the coming meet. La Grande's chances of winning the1 cov eted cup were never better, and the team' will leave here. May 5th with that high ambition ' firmly tucke away In their bosoms. Here Is hoping. . : V PBIZE FIGHT AND COPIOUS FLOW OF CUSSES AT FAULT. Mayor Has Set Down on Prizefights Following- Recent Bout.

There are a dozen or more who come under this category in - .La Grande and it is really too bad that gymnasium acllitles are not afforded where bouts could be pulled off with out admission' charges to the fans, members alone being invited.7 Some day, however, we will have a "gym" and incidentillv noma snarrinsr. some wrestling, some gymnastics and other 1 legitimate sports taht - came under tha ban of the law when carried be yond tha Fta'Tiro iiruyioijuatr.;. TRACK READY SUNDAY MAT BLOODED ANIMALS TO BE SEEX THERE. ; Speedway for, Horses Open to Aato Me.' Owners Hereafter. " Like unto Salem, ' Portland, Walla Walla and other centers of horse speed development, La Grande will have by tomorrow , a well prepared track on which its fast and clever horses will be "worked out-1' The fair grounds track will be ready for the high and rapid (steppers by to morrow and those who are in on the association by virtue of having paid the admission price ,are Jubilant to know that excellent speedway fa cilities are awaiting them. The track will be a speedway in every sense of the word, and the Inner half of the wide and spacious mile track has been made soft, yet firm, best adapted for horse speeding. The horse fanciers of the city who own" stand ard bred animals are almost to a man Joining the association and ev ery afternoon, or - morning, as the case may be will see standard stock warming up and speeding over the track at the direction of an exper ienced trainer, if a suitable man cats be found.

Non-members will not be permitted on the rtack at all, but those who belong will be given the chioce of afternoon . or morning as they choose and in specified hours can use the outer half of the track to their heart's content. It is . ex tremely hard and firm, well suited for the pneumatic tires. " tn uun It will be possible to pull off a series of auto matinees, all of which will add to the - innocent amusement of La Grande sport lovers. , : METERS' THROWING IS GOOD AND SUPPORT FINE. La Grande Hitters Get lu Line and Swat Out Long Ones. Enterprise,; April ' 23-(Speclal) La Grande, yesterday, trimmed the Enterprise high school In easy style, winning 7 to 4 in the first gatiie of the seriea of two." Meyers was on the firing line for La . Grande and his supporters say he never pitched a better game In his life. His back stop was Pldcock. Man after man was struck out; J , That La Grande 'had its batting eye ready is attested by the fact that three three-baggers were registered off the opponents.; Irwin and Chlld ers were abong, the heavy hitters. Ralston started off ,the - two-bagger schedule and .pthers followed regu larly. Blystone shown in the field by pulling down t,hree difficult flles This afternoon the team plays again with Chllders on the stellar mound. ;- ...'.'', It Is gratifying to see so many com ing to the financial assistance of the high school athletic teams. All are distressed from want of funds, and Instead of appealing to themercbants for every item of assistance, the var ious clubs and societies of the city are producing liberal ; help. Among these can be noted the O. A. C. as sociation which turned over the re ceipts from last njght's dance to the track team. The track team mem bers have voted a very gracious thanks' 'to the association members. To get the Pacific Coast baseball scores In La Grande a few minutes after the games are ended is one of the means which the Observer sis taking to acommodate, Its fan read ers. The effort Is appreciated. With in a day or two, the Foley and Som mer .hotels will be provided with the score boards as the Van Buren news stand already Is. Hot Lake, too,' Is being supplied with the scores by the Observer. Elgin, Cove, Union and Wallowa county towns are on the right track In the formation of an Inter county league. There Is a double action to the affair. Each county will be anx ious to have one In Its boundaries ; win from the teams In the other. The towns are of such a size too, where moral support' can be backed up with sufficient mazooma to make It profl- ENTRPK table for all concerned. For the first time since our middle-; aged can remember, the La Grande high school is sending a base ball team on a tour. In connection it might be said that a tour or two like this will instill greater interest in the sport, as it give.; some promise of remunerative trips as do track and field sports.

If we can't have baseball other than such' as was dished up for us last year, let's not have any. Ladd Canyon, up the river with a book, Morgan Lake most any old diver sion is better. " Pretty soon now ! the scores of straems tributary to ' the Grande Hondo will be the stamping grounds of.JWaltonites. Five Points and Ladd Creek are the streams which will perhaps first afford good angling. . On May Eth and 6th the Inter state track meet occurs. The schools represented are as follows. Whitman takes no part In this contest, the other schools being- the guests of the college at that time. - Tennis has , a far. more feverish grip on La Grande this ' year tnan before. Three courts will soon be the rendezvous of as many club mem bers and a whole lot of others who wish they were members. Union high school hap the base ball bug so badly , that track; and field stunts are relegated to the mus ty shelves of sportdom. Local .firemen and engineers are figuring on forming a baseball team this year. ; r:';' r .' . , Next year La Grande will hold Its first annual Indoor track meet and again La Grande Is to lead Eastern Oregon. ;': .v '".'' .
