IVnddlctun Team Ready. Pendleton, April 12. (Special) With the arrival last evening of Pinchers Wheeler Osborne and Ralph Bugress, Third Baseman Donald Rad- er and Outfielder Varlan, Terry Sic Kune s lineup of Buckaroos is prac tically complete. But1 one more re cruit remains to appear, he being Outfielder Doherty. and thereupon is to commence the real practice work which will determine the pessonnel of the team... Practically the only elimination which is to be done is among the pitchers and outfielders. Ha worth and Bladen will probably ' Pd Adv ' f Black 3.141 land as first and seond atcher, Lo dell, Cader and Augustus are virtu ally fixtures at first, third and short and of course McKune will have no opposition for too second bag. The four pitchers will be selected from a field of even or more. Berger and Osborne, reliabli of last year, are. almost eure of berths and. for the ather two places Wells, Ashenfelder. Fisher, Burgess, Harlan and probably other will put up a strenuous fight. " LOOK 'EM OVER. Probably no one In the Spud line up has had the actual experience In baseball that has been, scrolled on the history of Phillip Nadeau's career on the diamond. He Is a man from everywhere. He first got into the na tional game wfh Springfield in the Three I league when that , institu tion wai aft Its height. For two years he played In the Western league, two years In the New York Stale league, five years in the Southern and :hen came wes to play with Port land In the coast league. Last year he was with Pendleton. The wiUow manipulator has always Been touted as a spendid, big-company outfielder, and h'g only stumbling block to fast company now, is his arm. Last year he batted right up to Pembrook in the Trf-State league, registering more hits than ".'he Pendleton catch er, but' also had more times at bat. These were three or four points dif ference. In Tom Hodson, La Grande has a twirier who lacks not In fast company experience. He, like Nadeau, started In with baseball In the east He pitched with "Frisco in 1904 and wa sold to Springfield (Three I) there and at Dubuque unr.il 1911 when he came west In 1912 he sojourned In the mountains of the west and Is now with the Spuds: Hia home Is in Toledo. Hie Is tall, well built and carries himself Ike a" pitcher in every sense of the word. He bumps the measure beyond the six foot mark. Arthur Vahrenhorst, better known, as Van Horst, and sometimes an swering to the beckon of "Blondy," has his history pretty well uncover od to local fans. Jacksonville in the Iowa league saw him back about the early part' of the pit sent century. He went to Denver and from there to Sa vannah in the South Atlantic league, drifted to Vancouver, B. C, and from i he Canadian town was brought to La Grande by Jack O'Brien when thc local champs put the Eastern Oregon league aSre. He cavorted about sec ond base at that time. From here, when '.bjC explosion came, Van went to Salt Lake and was sold to Des Moines hree years ago, but refused to report1 and was suspended. Out law baseball was his lot for three years unt'l La Grande again became his stamping ground. Outside of try ing to make awful good , with the Spuds he has his eye on the Observer automobile contest and is confident if wlnnng out. Ccrr? Naughton's career Is short er .':"! some but has been brilliant lasted. Bush basebafl was his lot way back In Sioux City. Three years ago he came to Boise and was that club In the Union league ' "len went to La Grande last year. His Adding record in 1912 was at the very pinnacle of Infielderg in the Western Tri-State and his bunting rabbit's foot has always been a mar vel with the fans along the class D 'tlnerary. Others can lay them down as good as he maybe but not with the success of standing up on first afterwards.

This Is partially correct, as La Grande, has one tie game to shoot off, but has no defeat on her hands, either. . . "Wallowa has won every meet so far," relates the Sun.

(Enterprise Record-Chieftain.) Enterprise will have a baseball team mis spring, ins ieeung mat the town could not' stay out of the T ripen frtwlng with the warm, sunny days, and at last Chas. G. Bilyeu said the word this morning and started out framing up a team and making financial arrangements. He said there would be a good team on hand by the time the season real ly opens and that about settles It. Old ball players should report to Mr. Bilyeu at once and newcomers who know the game are urgently re quested to make known' their qualifi cations. As soon as the team Is got together practice will begin. With a team at Enterprise the for mation of a branch league probably ox Absolutely Puro Economizes Butter, Flour, Eggs; makes the food more : appetizing and wholesome The only Baking Powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar Is assured. Elgin players hove been preparing for the season all winter. Wallowa started , last fall, and an nounced tliat a good team would be In the field when the playing started. The fourth member of the league is In doubt. Elgin wants an amateur team formed at) La Grande believing the games in the latter place would be profitable. Joseph and Union are possibilities for the fourth place. Jiotlee. . , No hunting, fishing, or trespassing allowed on our premises. M. D. SANDERSON', B. M. OLIVER, F. H. OLIVER, ' C. "W. OLIVER, .
