ALTHOUGH 11AIN THREATENS
GAME MAY GO.
Ministers in Gym Class May be Pitted
Against i annigana.
Hope for a fine dry field to play on
next Sunday wnen the eastern Ure
gon League opens its season with the
mighty Elgin team opposing the La
uranders, have been high the past few
Hours, and though more rain threat
ens it is believed the grounds will be
' in shape to play on. At any rate both
teams are going ahead with prepara
tions for the opening game.. Mc
Innis will use about the same team
next Sunday that he used at Elgin in
the practice game, but who the open
ing clay pitcher will be has not been
made known.
Conspiracy, is brewing among the
6:15 business men s class, in which
. there are, 'besides sinners and publi-
.. cans, five ministers. These ministers
who have become ciuite adept at vol
ley ball, aspire to beat the yannigan
element in a squad and if they can
entice one more minister into the
class, they are going to challenge the
Bcrubs "Not the first team the first
time, but later,'' said one of the pas
tors who is a fan of the worst sort in
the volley ball sport. Those ministers
expect to put in some real exhibition
and early next week will probably be
selected as the day for the big show.

N. K. West will lead some of his
employes against the bankers of the
city Friday night in a bowling match
at the Club alleys. Besides Mr. West
. there will be in the West store team,
the following; Siegrist, Haskell
Bolton, and Sturdivant. T. J. Scrog
frins who heads the bankers has an
nounced his lineup as follows, himself,
Wenzel, Lnrrison, Foley and Hard
ing.

Saturday night the Conley team,
. who for this occasion are known as
the Conley Farmers, and a group of
' inrmor towiers under tne manage
ment of Herman Roesch, will meet in
deadly combat on the Club alleys.
Both of these two 'games promise
to draw much attention. Tne first
one especially has been the talk of
the community for a few days and
likely there is going to be keen ex
citement over it. '..
Who said poor Lo? -.
Natives of the Frisco burg and
eastern visitors to the Panama-Pacific
fair, who entertain the idea that
the Indian of today is a poverty
stricken wreck of humanity very
likely will get a rude shock when
they see Thomas Scheloll, a full
blooded Indian of the Umatilla reserv
ation pilot a six-cylinder automobile
through the streets of the Bay City.
Be it known that yesterday said
Thomas purchased from thej Oregon
Motor Garage at Pendleton a C-55
Buick touring car to replace his four
cylinder machine which was too com
mon and small for his station in life
and for his needs. -. He purchased it

fact.. Commenting on this movement,
the East Oregonian goes on to say
that growing out of the good roads
movement an automobile club may be
organized in Umatilla county. . At the
goods roads meeting here yesterday
afternoon Representative R. W. Rit
ner proposed the organization of all
auto owners in the county as one of
the most effective means of advanc
ing the cause of improved highways,
and his suggestion met with very
favorable comment
"The automobile club of Portland
has done more for the cause of good
roads than any other one factor
there," said Mr. Ritner, "and in every
county where there is an automobile
clulb there is action toward securing
better highways. With nearly every
farmer in the county owning an auto
mobile now, such an organization
would embrace a class of people who
use the roads more than anyone else
and who would be alive to the need of
improvement."
Among those who spoke in favor of
such an organization were W. W.
Harrah and H. J. Taylor. Both were
of the opinion that there would foe
little difficulty in perfecting such an
organization and that the membership
would be sufficient to provide a e-oori

big own statements, of taking . his
family overland to San Francisco and
he declared he contemplated dressing
himself and family in the war bonnets
and other savage finery which he in
herited from his ancestors for his
entrance into the exposition city.
Schelull farms his own land success
fully upon the reservation and enjoys
the distinction of being the first red
man on the Umatilla reservation to
own and drive his own motor car.
Umatilla county expects to form
nn automobile club such as has been
in existence in this county for some
little time, three or four yenvs in
Elgin must be considered seriously
in the race for the Eantern Oregon
league pennant, a contest that begins
column if not at the top. With but
two exceptions all of last seasons
players are on deck, besides a num-
berv of other young una promising
material. Former manager, Oswai.l,
will not be with the club this year,but
will be the only player of importance
whose work will be missed oh this
year's team. Ed Mason, Lucian Shel
ton, Guy Patten, Biily Workman,
Ernie Bickel and Taylor are among
the lust seasons regulars who will
appear again, in Elgin ' uniforms.
All are young men who will play a
better form than when he was with
year.
Vern Berry, star outfielder of last
season on the Imbler club, now re
sides in Elgin, will be a big addition
to tho locals. He has a good arm is
a slugger far above the average and
is a good all-around men.
' Ivan Thomas will most be at the
roceiving end and is playing much
better form than when he wsa with
the club a couple of years ago.
Shelton, who twirled some remark
able good games at the close of the
season, will no doubt give a good ac
count of himself this yeor. It is
not unlikely that Jeif Bell, who 30
ably twirled for Imbler last season,
will be a member of Elgin's pitching
staff, in the event that Imbler does
not become a member of the league.
As 'formerly announced, Leonard
a week hence with Elgin here and J Morelock was elected manager, when
Union at Baker. The scribe who the club was recently formed and will
"does" the ball Jenm ;it Elgin, says
among other things these pertinent
thoughts in the Elgin Recorder:
Local fans and dopsters have it fig
ured that the Elgin club of the Ea3t
attend to all the business details of
the local club, and attend to all execu
tive matters. -.
Ed Mason whose good head work
brilliant fielding and excellent judg-
ern Oregon League will be among the j ment, won htm the distinction of be
first divisoners in the contest for thejing the Ty. Cobb of last, season, will
pennant honors, and unless something j have charge of the local club on the
unforeseen occurs the locals will be j field. In fact' the team will, while in
right at the head of the percentage ' play, be under his instructions.' Ha

is without doubt the "heaviest" man
in the club, and that the local team
will benefit under his guidance there
is no doubt.
A. P. A. Lorgergan, well known
here, will be president of the Pendle
ton club in the Blue Mountain league
embracing the Umatilla county towns.
A Pendleton dispatch goes on to say:
