f:: FAREWELL PROFESSIONAL BASE
BALL.
ized over the. city that professional
base ball was too expensive for our
size. A few of our business men' bit
the apple last year and found it was
wormy. , Yet in. the spirit of excite
ment and through the stimulant offer
ed by, other towns in the league La
Grande this year forsook her better
judgment, and took a hand in the
game. ' . Yesterday . was the turning
point. ; It took more money or : no
game. The quality of ball this year
has been poor, the attendance at the
games has been very liht, hence the
enthusiasm of the f anniest fans has
dwindled and ho one felt like digging
any more coin. The natural result
followed and the La Grande team of
the Tri-State league Mew up
' . It is well that it happened. To have
bridged things over for a few weeks
would have meant a lingering death
and so long as death was unavoidable
why not have it over?
- No more paid ball players for this
city; No more President Sweets, with
high ambitions. We are through, de
j cidedly through. ,r When La Grande
wants to piay ball In.the future she
will play with neighboring cities and
enjoy the games
. The expected has happened. The
professional base ball has blown up.
and henceforth and hereafter the man
who journeys here from Baker, Boist
or any other town and talks formation
of a league will be led to the city lim
its and admonished to, "not Iet the
sun go down on .you within ten miles
of the federal building."
, La Grande was really not to blame
for taking the flyer it did this year

been ever loyal to the show. La
