The main object is to get suit able facilities for holding the fair, the auto meets and the horse race meet:) singly and at any time it Is desired. Some have been skirmishing about looking for probable sites for such a project and cldlm to have several near town.

R TIN G Ul GRANDE WIQS 1 PE11T LAST GAMES NOT PLAYED AND LA GRANDE WINS Winning nine games out of 12 In th schedule La Grande has this week dragged down the 1911 pennant of the Eastern Oregon league. While there was little llkelyhood of being defeated undr the original schedule, the pen nant was finally cinched when the list of games to be played was changed from 16 to 12. The original schedule t"T" T"" h K ames with the ;r.st four as double headers that the change of games necessary as the double headed games had not been! played. - V In a great many ways the season I was' a remarkably successful one. from the fact tnftt Qrand8 won the pennant there are many other commendable features to the lea gue among which is the primary mat ter of the kind of ball presented. At tendance has been good in La Grande, Baker and Elgin and good In Union too, size of town considered. The Grande team from home ranks was a reflection of the popularity of the team and Its playing during the play ing season. , Good clean ball meant good crowds and except for the last game of ths ssaacn, every team got along with a great per cent less "rag chewing" than In any previous year. La Grande's players, some of them rather, messed things up a little in th last game, but It was the only ln stanc of it during the year and be cause of the fact that good crowds followed La Grande's victory 6r Baker on May 23, large crowds marked all the games, and good ball continued. ' . But looking back over the 1911 sea son there Is no other verdict to be reached than a season of extremely snappy, clean and Interesting ball In each corner of the quadrangle form ing the , league. The fans got their money's worth, and except for the burst of speed ehown by the La Grande team at the outset when she ran away from the other teams for six games, the four clubs were evenly matched throughout. One might go on for columns and columns dwelling on the various phases of the league, but the extra Inning gamsP the sensational .ftelding records of many of the play ers, their hitting records and the gen erally hlghp!arf& of excellency thro oghout the four clubs, is commend able from every standpoint. ; Season to Continue Baker and La Grande will play a series of four games commencing to morrow and alternating between the Uplon and Elgin will likely play some games and when La Grande will pre sent a team of home players entirely, Union will hook up with us. So there will be baseball for weeks to come, though dot" under organised sched ules. ; It has been a league of high-class pitching. Each town had good twlr- lers and several of them as a rule, 4 ' Few batted Over the .300 mark 'this year. Why? Ask Stone, Smith, Mc Innts, Aubin. and lastly, Mitchell. The plan of paying umpires for their work and Insisting on their enforcing order worked 90 per cent tip top. ' The improvement was vastly great over former years. . With modifications, the sam- rule should be adopted next sea eon.' . ;,. ; . The next game of local Interest will bei at Cove, whn the old star Cove team meets the La Grande squad on July 19. Smith, Conley, Miroa, Kail.a Waltera, Carter and a N of Stock's I .NEWS t I 1EET IS TRACK FOUND TO BE IN CONDI TION FOR MEET. Matter Will B Put Up to Motor Club Directors at First Chance. Possibilities of holding an auto race meet with entrants from all over Eastv ern Oregon and perhaps a few exhl- bitlon races by Bpeedy wheel manipu lators, have become really brilliant In this city following clos lnspec ton of the old race track grounds near Island City. ; Those who have been on the old track, long since discard ed. Bay the chances for holding a race meet on it are exctueumuu by that body shortly, "I inspected the-track today, and' found it in fine condition to make ns- "" the expenditure o! about $76 or f 100." said Fred Dittebrandt, of. the Dittebrandt Auto company , last night. "We do not want to let Baker show us anything about the auto meet business; they had a good one and we will too." f V The date discussed now Is the last of the present month. , - - Tomorrow and tonight as well there will be a chug chug of gasoline de stroyers In this county and the smoke will all be towards the fish hatchery where the Union County Motor club will assemble tomorrow at noon for a fine picnic.

In the first race, the Hudson, which the local dealers en tered in the race, took a poor third because a light spark plug caused the engine to miss. In the second race the Hudson with Holllster driving, pulled fourth place,' with the official , time In 1:59, but sevfral other watcJies on the field, other that the official ones, caught the time in 1:47 flat. Tn the race the Hudson met with a hair raising escape because a Bttlck broko the well-establlBheu law of races and passed to he left instead of the outer side and all but drove the Hudson in to the fence. All in all the Hudson was up against a combination or hard luck and poor enforcement of the laws for the Bulck should have been dls- , qualified, though -.'it was not.
