Immense coming earljt and swelling in
size rapidly until 1 o 'clock when the
apex of the audience v fas reached. '
La Grande especial! y sent a large
delegation, hundneds coming by team,
by automobile and by train, whichever
seemed the best to their liking or ac
commodations. The day was spent in
viewing the cherries on display and In
attending the various kinds of sport

The Cove Commercial club has out
done Itself In arranging the events In
a .logical sequence and the crowd was
lei from one important event to an
other with regularity that bespoke
careful planning. V , Z
The cherry show was always upper
most in the minds of the visitors and
several took more than one longing
glance at the array of luscious fruits
set out In catching manner for the en
tertainment of cherry-loving jjeopie.
N6,t a section of the valley went un

a holiday crowd from- Union, a fine
lineup of people from La Grande, and
all the way to Elgin the towns con
tributed largely to theBftow.
The Estonlshment of mn who had
never seen a liberal quantity of Cove

IRLS as baseball players are usually considered as jotes, but tha femi
nine memDers or tbe Belfleld Country club, a fashionable' Philadel
phia organisation, are able to put np a game of which they. are not
ashamed. Every year a contest between the ch in n rid thn hnvu fnrma
a feature of the formal opening of the outdoor season. Last year the girls
won by a score of 9 to 6, and this year the struggle resulted in a tie, each side
coring thirteen runs during the six Innings played. . In order to handicap the
masculine flayers they, were compelled to wear linen skirts, and they were
also. compelled to use their left hands In throwing. These two requirements
certainly were handicaps. The girls also had a. man as catcher, it having been
found that the pitcher, Miss Coralie reale, threw balls that no other girl could
catch. This masculine catcher-he Is shown sitting down at the right of the
lower picture with the other members of the team-was named Percy Osborn,
but when he donned a blond wig and became a girl his name was changed to
"Polly.", The upper picture shows Miss Helen Evans sliding for home, with
"Polly" trying to tag her out The game attracted a larga crowd and was
greatly enjoyed.
