"The Ransom", tonight at the Stew

another entire change. Both of the
shows are winning popularity every

moBt of them, th:y are stars In their
lines.
That they are popular in the larger
cities Is attested to by the Baker Dem
ocrat's criticism of the show there on
Saturdaj " .
The Bak-r Democrat has this to say
of the company:
The Juvenile Bostonlans : In their
two production of "The Ransom" at
the Baker theatre yesterday aft; moon
and evening scored a big hit at each
performance and the applause they
recdved was merited. "The Ransom"
Is full of tuneful songs and they were
all In capable hands. The duet and
quartet numbers were especially good
and the singers were obliged to re
spond to many encores. Two shows
will be given today, a matinee at 2:30
p. m.( and the evening performance at
the usual hour. The offering for both
afternoon and evening today will be
the "Rote cof Blandeen.' Those who
enjoy good music should not pass up
the Juvenile Bostonlans. ' '

... "Tyrus" Cobb: broke up a marathon
ball game at the Lincoln park Tester
day evening that came within an ace
of reaching local record length and
did establish a record of , strikeouts,
when he laced out a cleanJ' (wo-eack
hit that brought In the winning ;run,
and gave:, La Grande .the 14-Innlng
game, score 6 to 5. Cobb's very time
ly, hit followed a safe'bingle by Kail,
first jap in the last half of the, 14th
'I Inning'; and , Kail's; Advancement) to
second by MIer's sacrifice. The win
ning score sent capa high In the air
and brought out a, noisy lot of yelling
for the , Interested ' spectators had
watched, through an afternoon of ex
tremely cold weather, and though the
contest.' lasted nearly three hours, on
ly a very few left before the matinee
was over. : Ladies stayed it out with
a, fine display of loyalty. The crowd
was large too, 540 braving the winter
blizzard. , " ' .' '
'With one exception,' a more sensa
tional game has not been played on
the lot, and thf)t...was two years ago
vnen tne same teams and same pitch
ers' went 16 innings. La Grande won
that time too. : ' ' ' s
Yesterday's contest was remarkably
III ' UiB imm'utl) Ul Bll IkouuLo. Luuj
before the 14th Inning Aubln' ha Das-
sed the record and had 20 in w
It, all told.' While his first seven u-
nings were not particularly well pitch
ed, the Indian's chief buckled down
to business in the eighth and. from
then on had the La Grande people on
his hip, and was throwing more like
a demon at the finish than he did at
the start. But ; the pitching honors
were not all Aubln's. Mclnnls threw
the best game of the year, getting 11
men and taking 15 assists with one
minor error. He ' walked none and
hit none, being, all in all, a splendid
record and the popular mound artist
won a home with his showing In all
departments. Hooper, .first up, touch
ed him for a hit and , when Russell
lammed out a two bagger, it looked
like they might have had his jinks
for the day, but no so. The only time
Elgin coulj bunch hits thereafter was
In the eighth, when three runs were
scored by the visitors. La Grande got
its big string of scores In the third.
Mclnnls was wigwagged to the "bench
on three in the groove, but Childers
got in when Christiansen booted. Stod
dard flew out to second and Proe go:
hit On the wing, giving him the first
sack. Bradley got on first on parterV
bungle of a hit and the bases were full.
At this Juncture. Kail came up and
with three and two on him, Cnllders
started the squeeze play from third.
The umpire call.d the throw a ball,
which would have forced Childers' to
score,' but Elgin claims Kail jumped
back and interfered with the c?rh ..
before going on to first. . The In''
fell o the ground and wVh :-!x;l:ej
was discussing the situation. Proa
purloined home. Brail! :y aid Kail
were later scored by MIer's cleau hit
Elgin had La Grande going south in
the eighth. .Carter hi off with a hit
and Aubln got on the pathway by
Cobb's fumble. Hooper: went out Mc
lnnls to Kail and then' Russell got a
clean hit. From that point on to the
finish of the Inning La Grande enacted
four " errors that , did i tne. business,
backed up by. the hits. , The very next
inning Elgin sewed up the game when
one hit and error chased two home.
..The game started out on its enlarg
ed" circuit, ami kept agoing wrlth pain
ful interest until the last of the 14th.

heated in their excitement" and they

didn't like It, either.? jn fact the roast
ing did go a little too far. , .
Barnes acted with the, spirit,, of a
rue sport last "evening, j Whfn he
gav formal notice of filing a protest,
he was of the opinion that there were
only two on bases when the disputed
play cameK.up. - On Investigation" he
found the bases full and as Kail had
three balls and two strikes., and the
pitcher was in the. box when he de
livered the next throw, while the
j squeeze play was going on, the throw
jhad to b? either a stride or a ball and
as It went wild, it was clearly a ball.

This city will continue the pfogresstve

Xotes of the Game.
Thirty-one strike outs in one game
and that against good batters like El
gin and La Grande boast, is worth
talking about of .which both twirlers
can be justly proud.
Bradley's throw to th.e home plate
In the first cut off a run and it took
fast pegging to do It.
Mullen of Baker was the recelplent
of lots of . cussing. Elgin was wrathy
ar.d La Grande suffered on balis and
stilkes. On the baseB, though, Mullen
was fair and good.
Captain Aubln protested the game
in the third inning when Kail dodged
; .'14 fourth ball during the squeeze
play. Aubln claimed Kail Bhould have
:izn out for Interfering with the catch-
I Later on Manager Barnes with-
' drew his protest.
Flfteai assists with one fielding ei
rcr is a day's performance that few
pitchers pulled off. iMcInnis did It
Childers got a bad heave to third
that would have been a run had he
net brought it down from on high.
Cobb's hitting more than offset his
pcor work of the Sunday before and
the game might have been going yet,
but for it. ,
Conley worked like a trooper yes
terday and few got away from him on
the runways.
JoneB, Elgin's big right fielder, fan
ned three times in succession and just
when a hit was needed to pull the
trick. Funny things do happen.
Elgin is disgusted with the work of
Mullen, though La Grande Suffered of
tener than Elgin did at his decisions.
Had Hughea picked up the ball and
tagged'Proe out, the game would have
been Elgin's. It is good policy . to
play the play out and then "argify
with the umpire. Elgin Is claiming
she outplayed La Grande. She did; in
many phases, and had she been on the
job at that one particular instant she
would have went home with a game
which by the laws of elements to go
to win a game, save one, should have
been theirs. Because Hughea forgot
that is the story. V
La Grande fielded pretty well yes
terday and gave Mclnnls good sup
port '
Four straight now; there are few
teams can duplicate it and the players
are deserving of all the support ask
ed for them.
