Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, aa - they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
And that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-
, tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube is Inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing,! and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the In
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
, bearing will be destroyed forever; nine
- cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
-which Is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.

' BIRMINGHAM KNOWS HOW
i i TO HAND IT OUT.
: ' Manager Birmingham Is using
McG raw. tactics with the Cleve
land Naps. He speaks the Mexi
can language quite fluently and
knows bow to hand It to his
charges. There Isn't a Nap bat
thinks he Is the greatest player.
In his position on earth by this
time. '.:':-'- ..
"You have the right system,"
remarked one of Blrmy's admir
ers after be had heard Joe band'
the stuff around. "I believe yon
will be a second McGraw."
"I don't want to be a second
McGraw," said the Nap leader,
"I want to be referred to as the .
first Birmingham."
Which shows that Joe Is not
lacking In wit or foresight. .

. One frame's enough. That's all the
Irrigators need when they get start
ed. They started Friday in the sev
enth. They finished ' in the same
frame, but ..when they got through
they were oh the heavy end of the
score, 7 to 5.
It was a splendid rally. La Grande
was five, runs ahead and the Boise
score, closely resembled an egg when
the hitting bee. was inaugurated, but
when . it was over Boise was there
with seven counts, and thereafter the
Spuds had no chance.
Come From Behind.
Mclnnis started for La Grande,
and he got' by nicely until the lucky
sixth. Then,' with two down, the Ir
rigators started hitting him. Not only
that but they- kept on hitting him,
and when' Nockleby came to the res
cue the victim had sunk for. the third
time.-';:;.'VX:
It looked pretty bad for Boise in the
beginning. . La Grande ; got the jump
and. kept on jumping. ,.- ' "'
As usual, it was Phil Nadeau that
started it. Beginning the 'sixth in
ning he rapped out a- nice, T' single.
Reams 'couldt'1 handle King's per-
plexing .fly and Phil went to second.
Both Phil and .Carl advanced on Pet
erson's out, and Nadeau scored stand
ing up on Miller's long fly.?
La Grande kept going in the third
It was the worst inning Bridger had,
and the fighting Spuds took full ad
vantage of it After one was out Beck
heat out an infield hit Druhot
slapped one of the Cincinnati variety,
and when Bridger turned one loose
that Toots could not handle ; : there
were men on second and third with
but one gone. That nasty-Phil Na
deau was up again, and of course he
had to hit one. That gave La Grande
two more runs three altogether
nnA fin vet Boise didn't have any.
, Peterson's homer gave the Spuds
two more in the sixth. King preceded
Peterson with a fat single, and the
result was that when Gunner drove
the ball over right field fence two
runs came in. .''::.fVV'':'-.i;'-
At that stage of the game the score
stood 5 to 0 in favor of La Grande, but
in the last half of the same frame the
Irrigators started. When i they got
through the game, was over, ine re
markable . part ofvit was that they
never scored a run until after two
were gone, yet they counted seven
times. .. .. . ..

GUP
BASEBALL GOSSIP
Pipe that Mclnnis luck. When he
goes to the mound, the Spuds " make
more errors in six innings than they
had all week before. There is no use
in "pulling" at'long distance. 'Steen
hundred and Stenty steen fans were
pulling for Mac yesterday without
avail.
TVio V.lmn Recorder throws a fit be
cause the Observer Tuesday got mixed
on the Wallowa-Elgin score. : If the
Branchline managers would send in
their reports of games on Monday as
the rules of the league require, instead
of waitincr two or three weeks like
some of them do, there wouldn't be
any trouble. - The secretary or tne
Rron)iline leacrue doesn't happen to
be one of those who can read minds at
W.O- distance. Mr. Recorder, hop on
to the managers and scorers, not the
secretary. ;
a AnffiAld.r. Roben of Baker,
ii fhn hunch with the number of
assists. He has 35 to his credit land
65 putouts. Beck is second with 14
assists and 19 putouts.
Heavy hitting pitchers is the rule,
not the exception, in the Western Tri--4.i-
Thnaa who are batting better
rton'n .fiOO din are : Fitchner (La
Grande), .462; Jamison'same; S9L
Johnson (Boise), .333; Osborne . (Pen
dleton). .333; Gordon (Yakima), 370;
Laird, (Walla Walla), 409-' ' ' ; .
Druhot-is the only Spud that had a
clear fielding average at the last com
pilation, which includes Tuesdays
game of this week. He has 25 putouts
and 5 assists. i
"Eliminating the pitchers and there
are few who bat over .300 up to date.
The list includes Davis, .319; Brown,
.344; Grover, 321; Reams, .313; Alter
matt, .800; Friene, .387; Gard, .308;
King, .316; Harrod, .313. Pendleton
has no batter outside of pitchers that
can muster a .300 pace. ' ; : t
That should be a good game tomor
row between Eenterprise and La
r.mnde. There is considerable inter
est in it from all sources. Foster's
support will be better than last , Sun
day and many believe he will take Bil-
yeu's measure. . , - u ' .

TENNIS SHARKS WARM UP
' La ! Grande tennis adepts, ?

their - rackquets preparatory
to a good summer's sport,
Three courts n accommodate
about all the players who play
for fun and for recreation.
! While tbe English tennis committee
which is in' general charge of the ar
rangements for the coming Davis cup
series has shown a generous spirit in
the interpretation of the deed of gift
which governs competition; tor ..the
tropby. It Is the opinion of some of the
lending tennis players In this country
that steps should be taken leading to a
revision of the terms of the document.
-Close' scrutiny of the deed of gift re;
veals the fact that there la vagueness
in many of tbe clauses, the meaning of
which should be made clear beyond all
question. , It has been discovered,' for
Instance, that should France, succeed
In winning the coming international
series there would be nothing In , the
regulations ' "to prevent ; that country
from demanding thar challenging na
tions play on' a board floor instead of
on turf. There are some conservative
tennis ''critics' who believe, tuati this
loophole, would be equivalent to giving
France neroetuul possession ot the
Davis cup. li-ff -'WU
M.iDecbgls'and A H.' Gobe:rtf the

Before very many years have passed
some one of these nations is going to
come through, and, capture the Davis
cup.iBefore this happens the. deed Of
gift governing competition for . thnt
trophy should be modified or amended
In such a way thnt the meaning of each
clause would be unmistakable. There
Is no question but that the spirit of
Davis cup play calls for tennis on turf
courts, but It is much better to have
the specifications clear, especially when
there Is any chnnce.however Hlipht, of

Decugls, who Is one of the best playr

When Deciigis loses o-match he has
been known, to hurl -his rackot clear
across . the , court .. and start, fop,, bis

times he has refused to shake hands
with men . who,' have defeated him.
When victorious, he is In tbe habit of
kissing his partner. Decugls, fls far as

"Chick" Evans Says Professional- Hat
Easy Time.
According to Charles (Chick) Evans,
the average professional golfer - Is
an Individual ;to be envied, . because
throughout the summer he plays dally
the "greatest game in " the world,"
thereby enjoying sunshine and fresh
air to his heart's content.

south also Is pointed but as. something
not to be overlooked, find then the re
doubtable Chtck goes on to show tbe
many opportunities for making money
encountered by tbe "pro." In conclu
sion, he adds that the average profes

There' are many professionals in com
