Booking the Club.
Twenty-five businessmen of this city
have already subscribed (25 each per
month for the maintenance of a base
ball club next summer and with the
statement la Inaugurated and set In
motion that annual much ado about
baseball thank goodness it comes
about three monthB earlier than usual
and will be carefully rehashed before
the season breaks out
The Lincoln ball grounds have been
leased by another party, though defi
nite announcement of this matter can
not be made at this time. Grant Lin
coln, the former promoter, will have
nothing to do with baseball, he says,
and others have leased the grounds
from him.
The same old proposition of getting
Walla Walla, Pendleton, La Grande
and Baker City together again will
come up. Whether it Is to be along
Class D or C lines Is not decided per
haps It will be along amatuer lines en
tirely with a $1000 forfeit posted at the
beginning to Insure elimination of
Fourth of July blowups.
The encouraging phase of the mat
ter is that the talk Is starting early
and something will come of it before
the season 1b half over. That Enter
prise will be anxious to get In on 'some
deal Is evident, and that Elgin may
come Is also possible though, not
rcLLlo Tut ii iitut been given out by
the powers that be, that baseball is to
be dropped for a season there. How
ever Elgin has such ardent fans that
this sounds preposterous on tie face
of It Union and . Cove are erattc,
though the former is more so. Cove
always has a fast team, one that would
travel in any company, but blowups
occurred there last year too.
Until a heavy forfeit Is posted it la
simply child's (play to attempt to hold
amateur teams together. The almighty
dollar is stronger than anything else
when It comes to cementing rival base
ball teams when one of the lot Is
ahead, as la a most likely situation.'

are affected your life is in danger. M.
Mayer, Rochester, N. T., says: "Foley
Kidney Pills are a wonderful discov
ery and I heartily recommend their
use. My trouble started with a sharp
shooting pain over my - back, which
grew worse each day. I felt sluggish
and tired, my kidney action was Ir
regular and Infrqeuent with a fine
sand-like substance. While' the dis
ease was at its worst I started using
Foley( Kidney JMlls. Their prompt and
efficient, actlpn was marvelous. Each
dose seemed to put new life ; and
strength into me, and now I am com
pletely cured .and feel better and
stronger than for years." "
