T ' SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1913. & PAGE TWO r LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER, v AX T : VI: PI COMING HER GAME TOMORROW TO BE OLD RIVAL SORT. Moose and Braves Have Game Sched uled for Sunday Afternoon. . It doesn't make any difference how punk ball Elgin and La Grande put up against anybody else, they are always "there".' like big leaguers wnen tney meet each other, and bas ing the statement on past perform ances of these two clubs, the game . between Elgin, and La Grande in the Branchline league next Sunday to morrow should have every earmark of : class 'AA ball.' Elgin has been going some of late, and those who saw the former game between these two teams admit that both can play some good ball against' each other. The weaklings under Moose colors last Sunday are not. coins: to repeat. for stronger pitching and better in- neiding is to be the rule tomorrow. The Moose had a day off last Sunday because half of the regular men couldn't be here but tomorrow Mana ger Moreiock promises to have a much stronger team in the game and will make Elgin run at top notch to even keep in sight. GIMLIN PHILOSOPHIZES. Former Boise Helm Guider Balks at Ogden Offer Too. "Dad" Gimlhi Is not certain that he wants to take the splumping Ogden team in the Union association. : The other day he drifted down to Ogden. after quitting the Boise . Irrigators and saw Salt Lake trounce Knight's team terribly. ; Here .' is what "Dad" had to say' afterwadr when told , he was wanted to run the Ogden club: "This town needs a ball club, not a new manager," . said Gimlin after he had seen Ogden play about three innings. "If I were, to take this club now it would merely be a' case of transferring the goat from Knight to me. Someone has got to be the goat 'With this club. I can see only a few ball players in the whole outfit.' This team is far 'outclassed and' the peo ple here must -,- have : underestimated the class of the lea ""6 when they leathered v r "nu hear the people roasting McCloskev because he has such a club? They are roasting Kitt because he hasn't Mil club, I don't know anything about McClos key's salary list. He is probably 'Un der. But here is the thin" the" roast you if you don't go and get a ball club and get beaten and they also roast you because you have a ball club and are winning.

Baker Shut Out. Pendleton, Ore., June 7. (Special) Baker had an awful inning in the third and seven runs, all that were made in the game, registered in that frame. Starkell went wild, filled the bases and walked in two men. A hit by McKune let in two more and then he was yanked. Ward replacing him. Then followed Baker's only errors by Murphy and Harrod and three more chased the plate. After that Ward was invincible, allowing but two hits. Dawson pitched shutout ball from the first and was backed up strong. Baker never had a man nast second. Troeh, Baker's new catcher, worked today and did not allow a stolen base, R.H.E.

Ml MM I MI IIIWH'M-H-I' Second Largest Stadium Built at Ber lin for 1916 Olympic. Berlin, June 7. With more than 20,000 German athletes participating and approximately 40,000 spectators, the new German stadium in which the Olympic games will be held in 11UC, will be formally opened and dedicat ed tomorrow noon in the preserve of Emperor William, the empress, rrown prince and crown princess and the kaiser's c6urt, as well as the entire diplomatic corps. It is the second largest stadium in the world. , Its dedication marKj not only an epoch in the history of ath letics and outdoor sports in Germany, but also in the revival of the ancient Olympic games. It is also the open ing event of the festivities celebrat ing the kaiser's golden jubilee as rul er of the German empire, the stadium being built as a monument in honor of his 25 years' reign of peace. It cost over $500,000. The vast struc ture is wholly of cement and is built upon strictly classic Greek linen. Marching 20 abreats, 20,000 men, representing the flower of the Ger man . athletic societies, will pass through the beautiful court of honor and march in front of the kaiser and his royal guests in the imperial box. General von Podbielski, minister of agriculture, as president of the Na tional Olympic committee of Germany will make an address outlining the purpose of the stadium. As he calls for a "Hoch der Kaiser" 10,000 car rier pigeons will be simultaneously released at one end of the stdium carrying copies of Podbielski's ad dress to every part of Germany. As the great flock of carrier pig eons circle about to get their bearings for their home cotes, several aero planes and a Zeppelin will also be sweeping over the stadium. Tomorrow's events in the stadium will be principally of a spectacular type and to please the kaiser, will have a strong military taste. Among other events will be n wall scaling contest by companies of infantry from the Garde Corps. These troops will appear for the fisrt time in the new unomnmented "field gray" uniforms recently adopted by the German army. Club swinging, fopt racing, turning und a football match for the crown prince cup which decides the cham pionship of Germany, are on the pro gram. From the moment that it was de cided Berlin would have the 191P Olympic games, the Germans started to train for the event and to build a stadium second to none.

Yakima knocked Druhot out of the box after he had done nobly for seven innnings, and with Fitchner coming to the rescue, the Braves couldn't be stopped. The srame was won in the tenth when Beck dropped Fuller's long fly to right with Kile on third after a Texas leaguer, a sac rifice and a steal. The Braves got eight hits and five walks off Fitchner in the two innings. Mountain starcea for Yakima but was derricked before the Braves showed their winning streak.

By the launching of the new league, Wallowa will have a ball game every Sunday during the rest of the season, the new league team playing on Sun days that the Branchline leatrue team is away from home. Next Sunday Alder plays in Wallowa. A telegram has just been received by Manager Marvin of Wallowa from Ben Culver, the crack O. A. C. pitcher, stating that he would be in Wallowa the latter part of the week and would pitch against Enterprise tomorrow. o Here is the summary for the pne hit game Fitchner pitched against Yaki ma: Two base hits Fitchner. Sac rifice hits Peterson, 2; Druhot, Con roy. Stolen bases Beck, 2; Fitchner 2. Struck-out By Fichner 4; by Gor don 5. Bases on balls Off Fitchner, 3; off Gordon, 2. Double plays Na deau.to Corbin; Groves to Stanley to Jansen to Engel to Jansen to Engel First on errors La Grande 3; North Yakima 1. Hit by pitcher Taylor twice by Fitchner. Alleging that bystanders had in sulted his wife in the dancing pavilion at Sumack park last night, Fitchner, the La Grande pitcher who held the Yakima Braves to one hit yesterday afternoon, started in to "clean up" two youths whom he deemed guilty. A call to the sheriff's office brought Deputy Sheriff Frank Fulmer, who took the baseball star to the county jail. He was released on bail about midnight last night. Yakima Herald. "Shorty" Roben, Baker's star right fielder, who has more assists and put outs to his credit than any fielder in the league, returned to Baker last evening, and will remain until the Gold Diggers arrive. Shorty is still nursing a bad thumb, as the resut of coming in contact with Ford's shin when he attempted to tag him out at second. Harrod is proving himself the best of the Gold Digsrers with the club. He has made six hits in eleven time at bat during the three games. His work at third, too, compares well with that of any other third sacker in the league. Pendleton E. O. o I When Augustus gets back into the game he will probably take up duty at the third sack and Rader will re main at short His ankle will be weak and he will not be required to cover as much territorv at third. Inci dentally he has always been a third hnseman except nt Pendleton and Vancouver while Rader's oFd position is short. o Paker has a team of few svllables. With the exception of Starkell and Coleman, the names of the Gold Dig gers are short and erisn. For instance there is Rock. Ward. West. Dean. Post, Cress. Sells. Woods, and Krause. fTl of the monosvllabic variety. Makes it pretty soft for the scorer. It is certainly a pleasure to watch a real umpire work, remarks a Pendle ton scribe. Hall is nroddino- the play ers f i;ora start to finish and makes the game proceed rapidly. "Batter up, next man half way. Little pepper there," and the fans applaud. Mora over, with him there is no crabbing. Not a cheep f"om the players in three games. CITY OF LA GRANDE, OREGON. List of warrants drawn for bills for the months of April, 1913. . Ray W.
