Very rotten baseball centering about very punk pitching in the first In stance, led La Grande to Ignominious defeat yesterday at the hands of the ruthless tribe of Walla Wallans.

"Shine" Harmon, the outfielder who has been "In the hospital" with a sprained ten don, was limped to the mound and fin ished the game that Mclvor and Fos ter might be saved for today and Sun day. "Shine" lacked support or he would have stormed much of the tre- menduoiia scoring.
