Gillilan. Two clubs of the Twilight Baseball league lined up on the diamond lnut evening for the first time. There ii.ny te finer looking millers and nobler r.n pearlng millionaires on earth, but If o they did not come inside the ball grounds last night. The verdict of rue cheering thousands of the grvi-i s'.and as they enfiladed with defiance breathing banners was with the Mil lers for they were nattily dressed In navy blue while the Millionaires came lugging along any old pick-up. The Millionaires were , most successful though, In almost everything; for they got more failures In home runs, more guying from the brass-throated fans whose hoarse commands rent the very sky; they got also a very fine nest of goose eggs and some sore arms. It Is worth a trip half way round the globe to see that giant Frees pitch. He poises on one heel, looks anxious ly toward heaven a moment and then catapults a ball toward the people who are watching while the million aire writes sign language In the air with his bat. , tut Fred Meyers Is the artist. His spit balls are the latest exhibition of deoUfle discovery In the national game. .Webster's dictionary describes a spit bail thus;-- -- - "A ball produced by moistening one side of the ball with saliva. It is said to'llave the hand with greater speed than when dry and to lake a more un certain course." This Is a literal fact, for It is doubt ed if. the La Grande cashier had any Idi a wheri? tiie ball was going aft'T it leu UU hand, and it is certain the man at the bat never found out. Af cr t'.iis display of scientific baseball '.me had been made, Stange took the middle of the diamond. Stange stung the batter first thing. The ball ap peared to approach the man with the club in a very Inviting manner until just when he was about to strike; then the pesky thing cut a pigeon wing so as to leave the ball In the hands of Jay Van Buren, occasional ly; but when Stange made the only fine hit on the Millionaire side and tried to make a home run he got bad ly stung even though he could have made "home" If he had "hit the dirt", but It will be a matter of argument for the succeeding generations wheth er he did not willingly sacrifice that sole possibility for a score Just to save his clothes. By the end of the fourth inning it had become nearly so dark the crowds began to start so as to be able to get out of the gate before It got to late to find the way home. The gate keep er, Charley Harding, will open up a special account In his bank today (if he gets the gate receipts counted) the Interest of which should be applied to buying suits for the millionaires. Among the many enthusiasts were seen half a dozen ladles, J. H. Rudd. the new Y. M. C. A. secretary, Hon. T. H. Crawford, Clyde Scranton, Tom Scroggin and "Toughy K'd." PALMER MILL TEAM.
