Now that sun' gods again reign su
preme In the heavens, after two weeks'
obscurity, fans look for a fine day to
morrow in which the Union-La Orande
game may be played. These two teams
have not met this year and the crowd
will doubtlessly be big on this account
Captain Smith will bring a good bunch
of players with him and La Grande
will get a run for its money. Tuttle
of Elgin Is to handle the indicator.
Kail is in Corvallls this week at
tending the big meet there and could
not return in time. Hence the La
Grande team will be shifted to con
form with this condition. Otherwise
there will be no change.

Wasers and lsers who belong to the
Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks are going to show their skill, or
diBcrepences, In this city Memorial
day when the Baker Elks will send an
aggregation of antlered bucks here at
tired in baseball rags. For several
days the local Elks have been drilling
i themselves for the crucial test and
are determined that the La Grande
club in the Eastern Oregon league
shall have nothing on the Elks. They
will win that Tuesday's game if hard
practice and plenty of material will
do the wark.
It was Baker that started the stunt
and La Grande fell for it In fine shape.
Committees were appointed to get the
material out and -this has been done.
The big mound artist known as Bll
yeu, of Enterprise, who isfc member
of the La Grande lodge, will be seen
on the pivotal point. The glove to which
he will deliver will be in the hands
of that old timer, Herman Slegrist,
and Jay Van Buren. long since out of
active baseball but for all that a play
er In years gone by that held the In
itial sack with the best of them form
the first 3 numbers of the playing list.
Childers will be seen on third.
The day Is to be set aside as an
Elks' day, for a big excursion is com
ing here from Baker on that day, and
the local Elks are going to treat the
visiting herds as best they can. A
Special committee has the matter of
their entertainment in hand and the ball
game is not going to be the only thing
that day by any means, for the frater
nal Bplrlt between the two towns will
crop out before and afte the big mat
inee at the Lincoln grounds.
Then, when the smoke has cleared
away from the initial game, La Grande
will send her Elks to Baker and the
two teams will try conclusions there.
In other words, the public Is to s?e
some old timers come back on the
diamond, amid nlenty of fun. and th
a Elks themselves are to have a big day
