Bescher guts on about as often as
any player in the National league, but
be must wait hereafter for tbat sacri
fice or clean hit before advancing.
Hank believes that with tbe team bit
ting as it is at the present time Bescher
can get around without taking chances
on the bases, and if so, one run in
means two runs for be opponents to
beat them.

La Grande team s swatting that it Is
necessary to give his average to get
a fair average of the team's strength.
A half dozen or more recruits who
were tried out help raise the general
club average, but are not material,
hence are left out.
Finising toucbs were put on the
new baseball grounds today and Mon-
'day temporary seats will be construct- j
ea tor me coming series at nome una t
week. The diamond is turned around
and Is In much better condition than
it was. For a week or so the fans
must be satisfied with only temporary
arrangement of seating space. While
the schedule has-been mixed up it
is probable that President Sweet will
send Walla Walla or. Pendleton to
La Grande next week.
