" V LA GRANDE, OREGON. -;'-'" Speed merchant Burt Fitchner made the remarkable record yester day against Yakima of pitching his fourth game to a total of eight . hits. He lets the Yaks off with a lone bin- gle yesterday, one of the rare works of art in Tri-state circles, itself. One at Walla Walla, two at Boise and now the .Yakima game all . average two hits .each, and adding another "game, played at heme of three hits, he has piched five games with .11 hits. . He was simply invicible yesterday , and a not-hit game is expected of him, The game yesterday was a lopsided affair, La Grande winning 8 to 0. One error and a lone hit didn't suffice for score. 'v.:; ;v V -V? The Spuds scored in the second on hits,' a walk and a sacrifice and an error.

"There is no truth in the story printed in . the Boise Capital News that John Bender,, ex-catcher . with the Spokane Northwestern team is to manage the Gold Diggers," said C. A. Hosier1 at Pendleton this ' morning, when asked by the ' Baker Herald .North Yakima will lose its fran chise in the Western Tri-state league unless money is raised soon to make sure of the team staying in the league the entire season. So serious has the matter become1-that L. M. Brown of Walla Walla came to North Yakima Sunday afternoon and spent yester day morning in conference with Man ager Engel, R. W. Rundstrom and ?n calling on business men to learn, the attitude of the people of North Yaki ma toward organized baseball. A mass meeting will be called Friday night in the Commercial club rooms-r-Yakima Herald. . y :i ' The new umpire runs the game with the hand of a czar. He know? he is master and the players know ,it too. Likewise, the fans know it and they all know that the others know jt As a result there was not even a mur mnr of ; protest during . the game. And he missed a number of strikes, too, but he called them balls in a tone that brooked no contradiction. .All hail the czar. Pendelton E.
