CLU3 IS WELL RATIFIED. - .t t Self, Hockty, Lacrocta and Many ' Othera Dropped Judgee of the Events Will Ba Selected From Othar Cairn I triaa Than Sweden. , The International . Olympic commit tee held Its meeting at Luxemburg, 'where the program for the Swedish Olympic games was discussed. A Dum ber of changes from the list of events flven at London were effected. Sev eral ' competitions were dropped and ome new ones put on. Such sports t Hockey, football, golf, lacrosse, polo fon horseback, tennis, rackets and box- ing were dropped. The Rev. S. de jCourcy LAnan, ue ungiisn aeiegate. vjjv&c u uivi vt uiviuuui( wuiig) uui after an objection from Colonel Balch of Sweden the 'manly art" was ta booed. The standing high and broad jumps have been relegated, as also' the 400 meter hurdle race. ' The pentath Ion, or fire event all around contest. will be revived, but It will be different from that at Athens in 1900, as there will, be a 1,500 meter run Instead of wrestling. .. s Then there will be a decathlon, 'or ten event all around, the list being given below. The question of judging the events was discussed at length, and the Swedes will appoint foreigners, but they must not exceed one-third of the whole jury. . Any country sending an entry of five events will be entitled to have a representative on the interna tional Jury. No cable or telegraph en tries will be received by the Swedish Olympic management In the athletic program the following events have .'been suggested; One hun dred meters, 200 meters," 400 meters. 800 meters. 1X00 meters, 5,000 meters and 10.000 'meters, all flat races for in dividual entries, with 110 meter, hur dles and a five' mile, steeplechase In which four of the entries' for each wountry will run-as a team and will core as suet, though all entries will also be considered as Individual en tries for individual prices in the same race. It was pointed out by the Eng lish representatives that a relay race of only 400 meters, each man la the teams of four being given 100 meters, would be very dangerous, and its con sideration was postponed. A relay race of 1,600 meters was proposed with teams of four, each to run 400 meters, and another team race of 8,000 meters was suggested Id which five could en ter and three could score. In jumping the Items were high and broad jump (both standing and running In each ease), pole jump, bop, step and jump and a further variety which had better for the present fee described as a Swed ish jump. " The antiquated and mistaken item of the discus "as at Athens" has final iy been dropped from the Olympic pro gram by the decision of the Interna tional committee at Luxemburg, and. though the discus will still have two competitions, both of these will be in the "free style," but in the first the Athlete will throw with one hand (either right or left), and in the second fee will throw with each hand, the core he makes with his right being added to that made with his 'left to form a total. Exactly the tame meth od will be followed In the score for putting the weight, which therefore taa two competitions, and in throwing the Javelin held in the middle, but the javelin has a third competition as well, for the "free style," Jn which a man may fcold it how he likes and in either hand provided he uses so aid except bis ihaad in throwing. Both the ham mer and the tugs of war will be the same as in London. A, walking race of ten kilometers was added at the special request of the British representatives, but It will be seen that the field events still con siderably preponderate over the track races, and this superiority is Increased by the inclusion in the athletic pro gram of a pentathlon and a decathlon, in each of which new and independent entries have to be . made, s similar performances done In other events will sot count The pentathlon will consist of the broad jump. 200 meters flat, discus. Javelin and 1,500 meters flat The decathlon will Include on the first day, 100 meters flat, broad Jump, weight. 400 meters flat high Jump, and on the second day, hurdles, discus, pole Jump, Javelin, 1,501 meters flat A challenge cup has also been offered by Baron Pierre de Coubertln for a "modern pentathlon." consisting of, one, a foot race over obstacles; two, hooting; three, swimming: four, a test of horsemanship; five, a competi tion j either boxing, fencing or ling. ... hundred Dollars With Union-Wallowa County Blue Rock.

With Clark and Pinkham, two of the greatest players of the North west, out of the game, by graduation and the four-year ruling,,' and three star ends, Dodson, Klltz.and Michael, out of the contest, it Is a pretty hard matter to count on Freshman mater ial to fill -their places. Hayward ia confident; and is looking for, big things from such men as "Heinle" Heldenricb, the popular La Grande High school star, Hall, the big husky that played a steady game for Baker high tbe past year, and three or four big chaps from Eugene ligh, to aay nothing of the pick of Portland play era who will eater the University the coming semester. , Under the Forbes system of coach ing, that of developing two first teams rather than a first and second, and using two sets of backs, tackles, guards and ends throughout the game, thus keeping the men fresh, under his famous Tale system, there still remains about eighteen varsity players who will be back again this fall, pro viding nothing unforseen happens this summer. . For this reason, Hayward, who always takes the first long shots in the predicting game, has not begun to scowl as yet, and that means to the college man, that things are lookln' fine. 1 Coach Warner comes to the west highly recommended, and has a sys tem of coaching entirely different from that used by Forbes. ; It is predicted by many friends of "Heinle" that the La Grande boy will be wearing a varsity 'O when tie season closes at Eugene. His re markable' record in high school ath letics, In both football and track, shows he has the right stuff for a collegiate player. It Is thought by many bere that the young man will take the famous Plnkham's place the coming year, as he has the build, the grit, the endurance and the "fight" to fill the vacancy as well as any other prep school player in the state. mmm mm and RINGED SUBJECTS Mrs. Toppewaln figured con'iI ly In the Pacific Coast handicap at Seattle last week when som? records were made.

Among them will be the two fine large Dupont Powder Company cups of fine design and which are well known to nlmrods of Eastern Oregon,' ' Some classy men are coming to the shoot Among them will be Frank Howe, the crack handicap man or the Pacific coast. His valuable, advice will be'foJlowed by the management in man yinstances In arranging the various events. The program Is ready and the money raised so that there is nothing to pre vent a splendid shoot when the 12th of September rolls around.

A few, it is true, have stooped to break ing the law; but on the whole, as It stated, the public has been Iaw-abld Ing. ' - - .-. ; According to gunmen who have mapped out the campaign prior to the season, there Is a much greater sup ply on hand for the hunters to "work on"- than : usually. Grande hunters. Within a year or two everyone that aspires to the title of a nimrod, will boast of a classy dog. E. B. Morris, representing the Win chester Repeating Arms company, who was here as manager for Mr. and Mrs. Toppewaln, will attend the Elgin shoot September 12, and will take a part' ' . a a ' Has anybody here seen Wall? His whereabouts Is a much-mooted ques tion, and while his friends are trying to locate the high school football coach who has been "mysteriously" missing for two months following his return from Wisconsin, the High school team Is flopping around like a chicken with its head orf, for the shock of not having Wall here this fall, Is a serious one to the football aggregation, and ' rather unnerved it. There Is little chance of a horse race meet In La Grande this season. Plowing up the race track for the ac comodation of automobiles, spoiled the chance. The track Is of but little use as a speedway for the auto fans, and positively useless for racing, though horses are being worked out on it in Indian fashion, as It were. The track is not wide enough to permit two steeds abreast. 1 a On aa average of five automobile parties pass through La Grande week ly on Inter-state or transcontinental tours. There Is some satisfaction ir) being on a transcontinental automo bile highway. While , some of the autos that have passed here have been from Idaho to Oregon and Washington points, the general average have been trans-continental trips, or nearly so. The increase this year over former years In this respect Is remarkable. Offenelvely and Dafanalvaly Philadel phia la the Strengeat Club In the Junior Organisation Pitching Staff la In Fine Shape. Unless the team takes an extended slump Connie Mack and Lis Athletics will win the American league pennant this season. Philadelphia right now appears stronger than at any time this season and a better balanced organiza tion than any other in the circuit Boston or New York may overhaul the Athletics, as It is a long time until Oct 7. Any club that catches Mack's men, however, will have to play the most phenomenal ball of history. Mack has a wonderful team. It Is doubtful if any better has been devel oped in the big leagues since tbe American became a rival of the Na tional This Is not even excepting tbe three times champion Tigers. The Tigers of the past three years present ed the most dangerous batting array Imaginable; but, everything consider- uvttwuw grand aggregation at its very best was a whit more formidable than the pres ent , lineup of tbe American League leaders. . - ? . . , The Athletics, In the first place, are well fortified, offensively and defen sively, for the development of every character of strength, Tbe infield. from first base to third base, is made up of a quartet of stars easily the equal of anything in fast company. The outfield la not the speeClest Imag inable. But the garden trio tnakes up In hitting ability whatever may be lacking in the ground covering line. At that, Topsy Hartsel, Rube Oldrlng and Danny Murphy are masters at playing for batters, and all are pretty shifty on the base paths. But on top of all this Connie Mack has the greatest staff of pitchers in either league today. Eddie Plank is Photo a? American Preaa AsaaetaUoa.

Chief Bender, at present in disposed, is this year the equal of any other right header la the league, while Cy Morgan and Jack Coombs ' have shown remarkable ability se far. To Coombs falls the honor of rounding out this formidable array of box ma terial. None of Mack's pitchers has been punished very severely this season. It nfsbt tars been different but for the phenomenal support afforded them. little Eddie Collins is the pivot of the loner works. He is tbe Johnny vers of the American league. . The best fielding second baseman, Collins, Is one of the greatest hitters la fast company. Last season he ran Ty Cobb a great race for batting and base run ning honors. Scarcely lees phenomenal and me teoric has 'been the career of Third Baseman Baker. As a fielder this fel low stands out as prominently at his position as does Collins st second base. Baker is a heavy hitter and finished base runner, though la both these de partments somewhat Inferior to Col lins. This young gentleman stands s monument to tbe managerial ability of Connie Mack.

Yet before tbe end of the season Mack had' converted him into the sensation of tbe year. Harry Davis, first baseman of the leaders.
