LEAGUE KINGS ED BARRY'S BOTH WALLOPS THE BITE A BOOS. Leader of Pippin Sets Still Pace la . Hooting Wlnalng Slcely. To Journey all night that be might reach La Grande in time to acale the lofty pinnacle In the center of the La Grande diamond, and from there safely guide the Pipping craft of base ball over a rather perlloua course was the mission of one Maxmeyer of Pa cific coast fame, yesterday. La Grande pulled up during one canto when Hew itt was woozy and eight men behind him ail but kicked goal with a series of weird boots. - Eight times the bell tolled at the end of that very weird session and La Grande came back thereafter with some more gilt-edge ban and seldom let a Pendletonian gel to first until the ninth when Max meyer was touched up. for quite a tew, and Garrett's cohorts drove la four runs. The tide was atemmed in time to give La Grande a well earned victory. Barry the Batting Fiend. n Three times Manager Jack Barry poled out hits that were good for two bases and better and a liberal sprin kling of hits behind readily accounted for a big majority of the runs. Pen dleton's infield failed to manipulate a group of bunts when long drives were the natural order of events, but Barry outguessed Garrett nicely. The first and second, and four innings later on, were as good baseball as we will see for a day or two but there were per iods when long drives and a multiplic ity of boots redneed some of the bril liancy of an otherwise clever game. Hewitt usually prevented a bunch of hits and bad his men behind htm produced anything like consistent ball the score would probably have been a tie at the conclusion." PENDLETON.

Two three baggers anda double In four journeys to the plate Is some per formance that ia what Barry did as a pace setter and Luttrell batted .500. Stan field and Mclmils officiated as umpire because Longanecker couldn't reach here In time. Stanfield made some odorous decrees much to the dis gust of the Garrett and the La Grande bleacherltes. Brilliant catches come and go but that caper cut by Augustus at short stands head and shoulders above them all. Luttrell. enacted a fibula perform ance when he had a made-to-order double coming his way. He batted so well and timely that It is hard to chastise him for It Lawrence, the new second baseman handled four assists and booted one. His playing is not bad at that We are on our way and can Imitate the scared nigger when he apostro phized to the rabbit, "If you can't run get out of the way and let somebody that can have a clear track." Maxmeyer Journeyed all night to get to La Grando and then steered the Pippin craft to a haven of victory. Barry bas been trying to get. him. signed for several daya but didn't ex pect him In until later In the week, but lo, and behold, he dropped In when least expected. Max has plenty of team and ctuff but at times yesterday lacked control. The grounds are a heap better than they were, The Infield la fully as good as the Bears' garden. Jack Barry has a way of keeping the fetters tight In pinches. He talks to his men with word of advice about the time things might otherwise go wrong. Judge Crawford says the baseball player wanted to take the kid to the circus that Is why there is no game this afternoon. WANTED Boarder, street.
