TjiEYERS' SINGLE
IS G1E
TWO SUBSEQUENT SCORES COME
BY WILD HEAVE.
BakeUs Strength Lies' in Weber Mc
lnnis Good and Supported Well
Two successive shutouts against
Baker is the record of the La Grande
club of the Eastern Oregon 1 ague,
now thut each town in that league has
Been a baseball game. La Grande won
yesterday 3 to 0 and local fans ar well,
satisfied with the showing of the lo
cate. It wa3 an ideal day for a game
and the fans baseball hungry for many
months were out In full Xorce, 646 pay
ing at the gate. The game was up to
expectations and though lacking the
snap and smoothness of th initial
game at Baker, was good enough for
any semi-professional t:am and that is
the general opinion in the city today.
The feat of shutting out the visitors
the second time was accomplish :d by
a fair good presentation of baseball
In which every member of the team
figured and .Mclnnis was given good
support as good support as any home
team composed of working men
can produce this early in the season.
Visiting Ktcher Whirl Ind.
Stone, the visiting pitcher Is the re-
deemng feature of the. Baker team.
Hla hittlnar, flfltdinr nl twirling
exceptionally good and without him
Baker would be at sea,. With a record
of striking out 15 men and then losing
the game, the- follow's ability and his
support are pretty well told. How
ever Baker's team needs renovation
at second or short and with such an
Improvement would be good tnoufeh
for any brush league. , '
How Points Were Jladf. ;
With plenty of near-home situations
to thrill the crowd, the contest went
along until the fourth s:ssion when
the. big pan made one racket Bradley
led off with a little hit and stole sec
ond and was advanced to third by
Cobb's sacrifice. Cotner laid down a
neat bunt that was fielded, to the- plate
where Bradley- was called out on a
dose decision, but It left Cotner on
first on a fielder's choice. He stole
E tond and was scored from there by
Meyers who leaned against one of
Stone's offerings with fine. efTect. This
was the only earned run of the game
and it was not until the sixth again
that th- old home plate was disturbed
though two or three times during the
game there were close decisions to
make at the home plate. It was Jack
son's wild heave, that let In two runs
in the sixth. Incidentally the pop-up
fly issue arose and though the um
pire settled it to the apparent re
quirements of the rul:, there is sti'l
a question as to the point involved and
the best authority In the country will
ba asked to settle it. It was almost
identical with the play which came
up at Baker a week ago rather a
Btrange coincidence. Proe started the
Inning with a hit and went second on
a passed ball by the catcher. Then
Bradley got the transportation route,
making a man on first and one on sec
ond, In whlclf instance the pop-up flf
rule applies. Well, Cobb, next up,
lammed one a little over the pitcher's
head and then th; decision came. Um
pire Tuttle called the batter out, but
he had not "sung out" designating 't
an infield or outfield hit. He did this
later so his decision was legal though
to be true blue should have been des
ignated Immediately. s Anyway, La
Grande scored in that Inning, for Mey-
was true yesterday and the man at
bat hits a pop-up fly, the batter shall
be out and the runners remain on their
bases, provided the umpire sings out
Infield or ouifleld hit With the ex
ception of a bad bounder that came
his way Bradley fielded clean.
Stoddard got off bad' with a minor
error but made up for it all right, all
right.
Cobb, the Oklahoma lad known as
"Ty," took the only chance coming to
him and sot a putout and also did
some good sticking. '
Cotner's bunt made a seor; possible
and his playing was. up to standard.
He got no chances in the field.
Proe grabbed the only thing coming
to him and hit like a troo:r.
Conley's pegs to ba3?s yesterday
was sup,rb.' As a receiver ha wotka
well, too. :
Mclnnis work ca the mount wa3
almost faultless. He f elded, struck
out men in tight ho'..s and used good
judgment alwaj-3.
Tu!tle mn'lo his mistakes every
one does. He tried lo be fair and t
great big chromo Is coming to him
for maintaining order. He absolutely
refused to discuss the problems with
anyone but the captains and threaten
ed to bench Bradley at one time when
a close decision was made. Tuttle
was liberally applauded for his disci
pline. ,

to third letting Proe and Bradley
score. There the scores ceased.
Mclnnis's offerings were not accept
ed freely. His peculiar throwlngs
were mysterious and at no time did
the visitors make much use of his
presentations. He did not strike out
as many, by far, as "stone, but fewrr
hits were made off him, and he fielded
his position with much better style
than a week ago. Still, La Grande's,
squad is tot dependent entirely on the
pitcher like Baker and with one or two
minor exceptions, the whole . team
fielded clean throughout the game.
The general opinions expressed on
all sides was that if La Grande con
tinues to put up the sample of ball
seen yesterday the players will get
the hearty support of the town.
The score sheet presents a very in
teresting story for the game. A study
of these figures will show, in detail

To a husky youug man . shoveling
twenty tons of coal a day may not
Mund like a terrible undertaking, but
that is because he falls to appreciate
the difference between shoveling that
quantity in the course ot a ten hour
day, standing on a steady footing and
pausing for a moment whenever he
feels like It to gaae at the scenery or
light a cigarette and trying to keep
bis balance on a Jolting, Jerking, plung
ing steel deck which tries ceaselessly
to pltcb him bend first into the side of
the cab. while with legs spread wide
ipnrt he humps over a scoop shovel,
working with frantic energy to get
coal into the firebox fast enough to
keep steam up. While the engine is
running the fireman must be straddled
out on the deck, working continually
to the limit of bis strength, for ordi
narily be will have to get from two
and a half to three tons of coal into the
firebox every hour. Three and a half
tonls generally reiirded as the limit
of a fireman's caimoity, but this has
been greatly excelled on the fastest
trains. Technical World Magazine.
