"Heck" Mclnnis can't get away
tomorrow and tho La Grande Moose
will present to Enterprise Mr. Fos
ter of local fame as the pitcher in
stead. The Enterprise lads haven't
been defeated in the Branchline
league this season and the Moose
are going over to do 'battle with
Bilyou's cohorts. Foster is not in
the best of condition but for all that
the Moose feel confident they can
get away with the game. The play
ers will make the trip by automobile
leaving here tomorrow morning. . ,
Tuck Conly is going to be the re
ceiver and thereby ' the Moose go
a long way toward winning for it
was his absence last Sunday that
largely caused the defeat.
Elgin t Wallowa Sunday.'
The Elgin Indians go to Wallowa
next Sunday to try that city with a
strengthened team, Elgin and Wal
lowa have not met this season and
there is much speculation as to the
respective merit of the teams. The
Elgin, players are confident of de-.
f eating Wallowa, but are not claim
ing a walkover and a close game is
expected. . v
. Elgin expects to be , greatly
strengthened tomorrow. Changes in
the infield and the addition of Wm,
Aubin, ex-twirler and the leading
slugger of the country, will help
gome.
Wallowa will play in Elgin a week
from Sunday.

Good news for the baseball fans!
Wells has been released and a new
pitcher secured. This was the tid
ings 1 announced by Vice President
Roy Ritner this afternoon after a
long-distance talk -with Manager
Terry McKune and a wire from Bob
Brown of the Vancouver Northwest
team. After the poor showing made
by Wells in the first three innings
of the game yesterday, Terry slipped
him a blue ticket. This action was
taken before McKune had learned of
the opportunity to secure a new
twirler. Pendleton E. O.
; A Walla Walla scribe in speaking
of the umpire situation remarks that
Starkell is the favorite in the Garden
City. And echo answers, "Why?"
Pendleton E. O. And again, from
this side of the Blue mountains, echo
answers, "Why?"
Catcher M. E. Post of Walla' Walla-will
join the Diggers' squad to
day. -' He will probably work today
and tomorrow, the last of the pres
ent series. Coleman will pitch for
Baker today and probably Finley to
morrow, although the latter is not
in the best of condition. If he is
not right "Smoky Joe" will be on
the slab Sunday.

Some of the hammer wielders
should remember, that the Western
Tri-state is a class D league and not
class A. The' way some of the bugs
yowl 'about a team making errors
is foolish. As one fan remarked yes
erday, "If they did not make a few
errors they, "would not be playing
class D ball." Baker Democrat.
Health a Factor In Success.
The largest factor contributing to
a man's success is undoubtedly health.
It has been observed that a man is
seldom sick when his bowels are reg
ular he is never well when they are
constipated. . For constipation you
will find nothing quite so good as
Chamberlain's Tablets. They not only
move the bowels but improve the'ap
petitie and strengthen the digestion.

. FUNNY ONE. ;
, '
! ! Larry Doyle, second baseman
; ; of the New Vork Giants, lives
near Breeze. 111. Every pay day
; ; at the mines there used to be a
' battle, said Larry a few weeks
; ; ago. One day when there were
twenty fights going on at once a
i minister of the gospel, who wax
visiting Breeze, stalked up to the
i ; town marshal, who was standing
Idly by.
'. ! "What does this : outrage !
; ; mean?" he demanded.
"This Is pay day at the mines."
' explained the . marshal In a
'. '. strong Swedish accent "and ev
"ery pay day this happens. The ;
'. '. Irish miners fight with the Welsh
; miners." 1 ' ' ' .
"But why don't you stop it?"
" asked the gospel man.
"For why should I Interfere?"
said the raars.Ual simply. "I'm '
a Swede." '
! Which reminded Jimmy Burke ',
of a picnic he once attepjed. ;
! ! One of the features was' a tug of '
; war between a team of Irish and
'. ! a team of Slovaks. The' Slovaks'
; ; were winning. The Irishmen
. dropped the rope and began fight-,
; ; lng. It was a good fight George
Greeley had an-opponent down ,
; ) and pounding him at his leisure
when Burke came along. ;
"Gimme a belt at him," said
Burke. ' '

and get one for yourself." '

TO TRY LONG SWIM.
Three Americans to Attempt to Cross
English Channel.
Several American swimmers are pro
posing to attempt to swim the English
channel within the next few months.
Among those said to have their eyes
upon the goal, ; which the world's' best
swimmers have always held to be a
supreme test, are Charles Durborow of
Philadelphia, Joseph M. Callahan of
Pittsburgh and Benjamin Scblomberg.
Durborow is an amateur and a mem
ber of the Philadelphia Swimming
club. The other two men are .life
savers.
Durborow's most recent big swim
was over a course of twenty miles in
Delaware bay last summer under con
ditions which witnesses said made the,
feat equal both in distance and diffi
culties to the classic channel swim.
Callahan has wished for some time
to show his prowess abroad and has
been preparing for It by many long
swims off Atlantic City. ;
Schlomberg has openly challenged
any swimmer In the world for a race
across the channel In the early part of
May. no.wlthstanding that the chan
nel waters at that time are generally
regarded as too cold for the feat Both
Callahaii and Durborow have' written
abroad in negotiation for races in July
and August, respectively.
NAP PITCHER A LINGUIST.
Youngster Can Abuse Umpire In Three
Different Languages.
1 Since Luke Glavenich beca'me a mem
ber of the Cleveland Naps the conjee-,
tures have been many, no doubt, In re
gard to his nationality." The name
didn't sound exactly American, reason
ed a good many. Of what parentage
might this stalwart right hand pitcher
be. an ask. ' ' '
Glavenich is of Slavonian ancestry,
his father coming from that little coun
try In Austria-Hungary which at pres
ent writing Is sending hosts of soldiers
to fight the Turks.
Up to the time he was four years old
Luke himself could not speak a word
of English. After that he got out
among the town boys and soon learned
the . Anglo-Saxon tongue. He speaks
Slavonian with all the fluency of a na
tive of his father's couutry and knows
Italian almost as well.
There are many Itnlinns in Jackson,
Cal., and as Glavenich was thrown
among them more or less from boy
hood, he learned to handle their lan
guage almost as well as English, and
his own.
HORSE RACING IN NEW YORK.

Park May 30.
