La Grande won its second game of
the present series with the Trl-Stae
leaders yesterday afternoon with Pas- (
ter back in the game and twirling a
vysterious and bewitching article of
tell, the final scoring being both de
cisive and rebuking to the pride of
the champs known as Bears. Foster
allowed eight hits but only in one inn
ing were There more than one and
that in the second when two bits reg
istered a run. The Wisconsin lad was
said to have nothing on the pill bu
Just the same he got away with the
game in good style, being beautifully
supported at all stages ot the game.
Pittman held the ptvotalile station for
the Bears and was touched up for con
sistent hits by a team of polers that
Mted from leader to bottom. Wal
la Walla scored first when Rochon
drove out a home run eaRlly negoti

Notes of the Game.
The fans were much pleased with
Fosters victory. He Is a likeable
fellow and has a bjg following.
Pittman has won four games from
La Grande out of five trials, yesterday
being his first defeat. .
By a system of outguessing the oth
er fellow, Barry Smith and Harmon
started the plays that resulted In twb
runs In the fourth. It was a bunting
rinr, vHh fine precision being
shown by the La Grande artlBts.
In the seventh, the Walla Wallans
were retired with four t.itows tro.n
the pitcher's box. It was correspond
ingly short. ,
Up to the eighth inning, the game
was unusually thrilling, snappy and
well punctuated with excitement
Mensor wandered over into Smith's
territory to get a high fly yesterday
and got it, much to the relief of the
bugs for It Is doubtful if Smith could
have reached the pop fly, landing back
of first. A moment before "Hap"
Smith made himself solid by a long
running grab of a drive, getting It on
his shoestring. Smith's banner hit
ting was very pleasing to his admir
ers. . Thompson's boots at first made the
game less perfect than it would have
been with a better Initial Backer. He
is both awkward and clumsy, handling
only well thrown balls.
Naughton, Mensor and Barry broke
Into double plays twice, and at critical
moments at that.
This was the first time La Grande
has won two In a row.
Funny thing this, about the trailers
winning from the first division team
this week. May the good work pro
ceed. Bradley sure got "his" In the ribs.
Three times he received Pittmani.
