Copyright, X210, by American Press Amo- ' Would I advise any youth to take op backstopplng? My answer to that ques tion la. Yea. Good receivers are hard to get. and catchers who are both good behind the plate and who are workera all through the game are still harder to find. It Isn't so much the ability to receive the ball from the pitcher or to throw the runner out at the bases as It la the energy and snap that one puts Into the game from start to finish. It's a cinch to catch a game when the side you're on la winning. I'd rather do it than anything else I know. Bat I al ways was a hard loser, and, although I never eive no hoDe. It always breaks me ud when we come out at the wrong end of the score board. To be a sue cessful ball player In the big leagues you have got to fight yes, fight every minute of the game, to take " every chance that comes along, putting your whole heart and soul in getting away with it, to work and never give up un til the last man goes out. 8tar Catchers Soarce. Coming back to the position of catcher, good backstops are hard to find. In fact, there are several clubs In the big leagues at present that would Day handsomely for a star receiver. As I said before, catching is easy when vour club Is wlhnlnz. but If vour team la In a rut and the pitchers not going well you have hard work.

Over at Enterprise this afternoon La Grande is "busting" Into 1910 football history with a speedy little galaxy of playerd, most . of whom are wearing the "Varsity" togs for the first time. What they will do, and how they will do ltvand-wht wik nesses will develop remains to be seen.1 At any rate Coach Zimmerman who by the way could not, be on hand hopes to have caught on to some valuable hints when the team comes back and tells Its atory.. Cap tain Irwin will rotate the players, giv ing the entire fourteen men an .op portunity to win their Bpurs. The mien whom Irwin will have In the came today. are: Bohnenkamp center, Little, Ralston Watson and Rush- at guards, Gaunt and Rice at tackles, Garrlty and Ir win at ends, Currey at quarter, Bol ton and Lottes at halves, Ingle a full and Reynolds and, Crawley , pi ends and halves. ,. -While the men have all been enow ing up well at each of their position there is no way to tell how they will behave under fire until the klcko.1 Is a matter of fact and not Imagina tion.

A. C. FOOTBALL SEASON OPEN It la easier to separate the strictly first class rtcbt hand pitchers from those who are not In that class than to draw the same Hue in the left hand division. There are half a dozen or so rlsht handed Ditchers who would be named almost unanimously, with, of iwtum, uiueieucea ul upiuion as to tne best of this lot. but among the leit handed twirlers there la no small circle that stands out so prominently. Try to pick out the Deft aoutnpaw in me big leagues and you find yourself won dering over the list of a dozen and wavering as to which are the tlptop ers. In the northpaw brigade are Math ewson, Walsh. Ford. Johnson, Coombs and Brown, who undoubtedly atasl out more prominently than any others and who would easily carry a major ity of the votes were there a vote on the best six. For day in and day out work and having everything they are at the too of the heap. But who is the best left bander or who are' the best left handers in Ine business? There wouldn't be any auch unanlm ltv in naming the chosen few. More pondering would be required to arrive at a decision. - Nona Stands Out Like Waddell. Ask George Stalltngs of the New Tork Americana who la the best left hander and his answer would be "Jim Vaughn."

No matter where Heine is placed, he One of the special features of the coming Fair is the dog show. The ar rangements have been left In charge of Mr. John Dordan. Mr. Dordan him self being a dog fancier, is more than qualified for this position.

Play. jTbe man behind the batter has to keep his eye on the runner all the time and trv If nosslble to read his signal to the man at the plate when be Is going down to second. Then you give the signal to the pitcher to waste a ball, and you can generally catch the runner napping. It's the only way to break up the hit and run play I know, and. although the crowd may howl at the pitcher for putting wide ones over and wasting balls. It pays in the end, for it keeps runs down If you can catch a man napping at first or get blm on his way down to second base. ... s ' ' ' .

K.

The horses came down from Commonwealth ranch yesterday. They are the popular Btal llons. Exarls No. 40864 and Oregon Klnsr. These horses will tune up the general display of horse fleBh at the fair stalls. ' While these topnotcn horses are to be on display, there will be something classy from Union' and about La Grande that Bhould make a line of ex hibits which will be superior to any thing ever attempted at any fair out side of Portland.

Corvallls, re., Oct. 1 With, a new coach, a new captain, new, rules to play under, and practically a- new team, the football season at the, Ore gon Agricultural College Just open ed. bids fair to present some pretty nroblema for solution. G. H. Schlldmll ler, a Dartmouth man with an All- Amerlcan reputation as an end, Is the new head coach, and It ia ex pected that he will repeat here his Buccess of last season with the Uni versity of Maine team. One of his difficulties at the outset is the fact that the captain-elect, E. W. Wallace, of Independence, has gone to Yale this year, and thus the team will be deprived of his experl enced leadership. His place has Just been filled by Bird N. Hawley, of Star a senior student who was guard of the first team last year, and for two seasons before that did excellent work on the secon dteam In pounding the regulars Into shape. James Evenden of Washington, last year's captain, Is another 0 fthe old men who will not return this year, a serious loss to the line. Walter Keck of Hammond, a Junior clv'l engineer, and Floyd Huntley of (Jcld Beach, a sophomore In the ag ricultural course, both of whom made Places In several selections of all , northwest teams last year, are back in the moleskins again. With his speed, weight, and ability as a kicker Keck will be most useful In the new game, and Huntley, though new to the game last year, should also be a pow erful addition to the new line up. Clifford Dunn of Cloverdale, a sen ior stundent, in the mining echool, and John Enberg of Baker City, an other miner, are both back again to add their strength and experience to the 0. A, C. gridiron material. Dunn was a good conslstient player at cen ter last year and Enberg, though some what Blow, has weight and experience of several seasonsto aid him in mak In good in the back field. Other men of last year'B squad who are out to compete for position on the first team this year are LeRoy Breit- haupt of Clackamas, who will do graduate work In agriculture; Charles Reynolds of La Grande; M.
