NO CHANCE FOR CARL MACK
TO PLAY WITH FATHER'S .
: :' CHAMPIONS. V
There is Just one young oase-,,
ball player who is doomed never
to play with the Athletics as a
regular while Connie Mack ' is
manager of the team. The young
man is Earl Mack, son of Cor-, f
nellus, the first and only.. True, 1
Earl played In one championship
game in the American league
last fall, but that was Just a
special occasion. ; "Some people
think that Earl is, going to be
come a catcher fop the Athletics
some day," : said Connie, . "but ,
they are mistaken. Earl hasn't
a chance of playing with my
team. ; It doesn't do to mix up
family affairs with business.
Naturally 1 want to see my boy
at the top of the profession, but
if he ever gets there or good
enough for; a major league he
will have to play under some oth
er mannRer." Earl is now catch-?

' George Ferguson of Union was re
cipient of considerable criticism after
the game at Baker last Sunday over
a decision In the infield, but he was
right and the Observer, which fell for
the question at issue, -was wrong along
with the other wise ones. The ques
Hon or an inneid hit came up; one
man on first, nobody down and the
batter hit an infield pop up.' Fergu
son called both men safe. He was
right Ha.d there been a man on first
and second, or first, second and third,
the batter would be out. The wisest
ones on the field even pinched them
selves when the decision was given
but the rule book put things right. If
Ferguson keeps up the same clip he
set at Baker he will be all right dur
ing the entire summer.

Joe Keeney handled the indicator
at Elgin. Just before the game he
made a little, speech to the players,
then on their benches. ; Mr. Keeney
informed them that he came to Elgin
to be king pin at that particular game
and for the raggy ones to dry up ; cap
tains alone could talk. However, the j
little spell did some good for there 1
was never a whimper, even from the
captains.

For First Tfine In $auy Yearsi Locals
JIlss Trl-Slate Meet
For the .first time in six or seven
years La Granda Is not to be repre
sented, at the big tri-state meet at
Walla Walla next Friday and Satur
day., At teast that Is the edict now,
for the La Grande team Is to o to
Ontario where the Eastern Oregon an
nual meet comes off on Saturday and
when the question came up to decide
which.; it was the Ontario meet that
got them.' . , -. .
La Grande In the many years past
has been a . prominent figure at Walla
Walla and no doubt, a few of the ath
letes there will not rue the : fact
that La Grande is mlsslug. The big
meet, ; he largest thing of its kind la
many respects hat occurs in this sec
ton of the northwest, is aald to be
promising even, greater excitement
and more broken records this year.
The UneuD of the men going to On
tario from here is not definitely deter
mined yet, but Captain Millerlng and
Manager Bolton will take as many as
finances will allow. So far; Pendle
ton Is the only Eastern Oregon team
meet, preferring to reap a few points
but to get them in stlffer competition
that the Ontario meet affords.
