. 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

" Like unto Salem, ' Portland, Walla

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

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

be found. Otherwise, the owners

- La Grande is coming to boast of
having more rabid auto fans that any
other Eastern Oregon town, and the
track will be open to auto owners
who wish to Join, paying $3.00 for the
season. 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. , :

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

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.

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.

figuring on forming a baseball team
