A peculiar Incident occured last Sun
day when aautomoblle carrying five or
six of Union's baseball players broke
down out In the valley en route to El
gin and with no telephones working
the players were compelled to sit Idely
by. At Elgin, however, a few fans
were drafted Into service to fill out
the vacancies In the team andwith'
thlg disjointed squad. Smith led his
men against Elgin loosing A to 4.
Manager Spencer and Smith wanted to
make It an exhibition game, but Man
ager Barnes would not consent to 't
and though Union has referred th
matter to President Crawford, It ap
pears from what unofficial reports
have been made of it, that the game
was commenced ; with Barnes refus
ing to make It an exhibition and that
being the case there would be little
for the president to do, but t0 let It
stand. .
With two twelve inning games in
succession, each of which were up to
a very high standard of base ball, the
Eastern Oregon League can be said to
have attained a very high level of ex
cellency. The good and liberal pat
ronage given the teams reflect the
satisfaction of the fans too. The writer

Automobile News and Gossip
Union county auio owners, like other
people of the , state, are scratching
their hair at what they call class leg
islation relative to. the new motor
vehicle tax which becomes effective
after August first. According to this
state law. the auto owners must pay
for a special license to operate cars,
the price being graduated according
to the size and power of the car,
which would be perfectly satisfactory
provided the moneyg se secured would
apply to the betterment of Oregon's
roads. As It is' the moneys go to tho
slow to dig up this amount knowing
that the roads will receive not aa
lota of the amounts so given to the
state. Considerable correspondence'
has been going on between local deal
ers, and the secretary of state over
this matter, and unless some one
makes a test case, of the law it is
lilcely that the auto dealers and auto
owners will have to continue to do
nate to the general funds of the gtate
for the privilege of running an auto
mobile. .; , ...,.!.,.?. :..
' A law of commerce and traffic being
overlooked and disregarded in La

law reads specifically enough and un
less It Is adhered to, it Is only a matter
of weeks until some careless nerson
will get hurt and the auto, running
wnere the law requires, will get the
blame, no doubt. Keen to the rlirht

ing from East Adams avenue, hugs

In responce to a request from seve

is i083lb!e that the city orrlclalg will"
be asked to permit hort races bo-'

be entirely harmless to anyone it in
