Ford, who will be remembered
as player nritl Inter us manager
of the Yiikimu tciim in the Tri

Slate will be on first; Wnlden
second; Mr La in on short; Speed

will pitch. Guess that combina
tion will make Klein get up and
support that little midget Blu-menstein.
Master Fish Warden Clan tun writes
to A. A.. Wonzel, secretary of the
Wing, Fin & Flcetfoot club, that he is
in position ut this time to send a car
load of trout fry to La Grande but in
sists that the fish be planted in ponds
before- liberation in the strenms. This
plan was used Inst year here with
good success but it is thought best to
choose a pond other than the one in
Deal canyon, used last season. The
water become warm there early, and
they will be sent as soon as is found
a desirable pond to run them in until
they arc largo enough to "forage" in
larger .streams. The state officials
say the fry are small, due to the lato
ness of the season. ""
The Inner Voice
: !
That nifty Elgin team will tomor
row afternoon match its prowess with
ihe Ii Grande club again. There is
io danger of cold wind to keep the
crowd back and for once I-a Grande
owes it to her ball club to turn out in
numbers. The m Glanders will send
;is strong a team as she can muster
against the league leaders and there
is no danger of a repetition of last
Sunday's tiasco when the La Grande
bunch was sorely disorganized.
The following, written on the back
I of an envelop, was picked up on the

Y. M. C. A. HAS PERMANENT AD
JUNCT NOW,
New Tennis Club Organized in South
La Grande Other Notes.
'Hie time is rapidly coming when
vou can look at a slice of strawberry
'shortcake without, frightening the
strawberry off.
Notwithstanding that the Y. M. C.
A. has operated a tennis department
for some little lime, it was not until
last evening that formal organization
took place. While corelated to the
'. M. C. A. the tennis end is distinct
ly of itself. At the meeting S. D.
Crowe was elected president, A. A.
Wenzel treasurer, A. W. Nelson, sec
retary; and Mr. Crowe and General
Secretary King are two committee
men with power to name one other to
look after ground lilies and such oth
er executive matters as will come be
fore the club. Technically it will be
known as the V. M. C. A. Tennis club,
being a close adjunct to the Y. M. C.
A. itself.
The first tournament, and it will be
gin within a fortnight, will" be a
handicap elimination, and other
tournaments of interesting character
will follow looking toward an inter
city tournament liter on.
A new tennis association was born
this week. It is the Olympian, and
will have its courts at Fourth and H
and will be in operation within a
week's time it is expected. Scott A.
Wheiitloy is chairman of the board,
and Elmer A. Horstman is director of
finance, Ralph Winters director of
maintenance of material and equip-
x9B
nicnt. Iiesides the men mentioned
other members are Ralph E. Byers,
Guy spencer, Leslie Met herson, H. L.
Street, Tom A. Crawley, Howard
Richardson and Jack Kerr.- All are
young men with promise of making
good in tennis. It will be noted from
the tone of managerial affairs that
nearly all are railroad employes.
Realizing that it is expedient to the
interest of the sport to keep their
coin ts in use greater number of
hours daily the Lu Grande Tennis
club has thrown open its doors on the
cement courts to honorary members.
For a nominal fee men and women
other than regular members will be
licensed to liberal hours on the court.
In fact during the day time generally
very generous periods are set aside
to honorary members. The scheme is
especially appealing to women and
such men as can get away in the fore
noon for an hour or two of sport. The
plans meet with popular favor as the.
splendid facilities on these courts are
envied by those who have none or. as
good arrangements.

from Enterprise to the Idaho city they
covered the distance in eight hours,
using a Cevrolet. Mr. Ashley was the

the nomination of joint representative
for Union and Wallowa counties and
feels highly grateful for the flattering

"Fat" Prescott, Roscoe Neal,
Tracey Hollister and Carl Evans
drove to Portland and back during the
Rose show in a Willys-Knight and
report a most delight fu ltrip. They
left l'Yiday, two weeks ago, at 11 a.
m. and were in "Portland the next
evening. After sojourning there for
a time they returned after the show.
Mr. Hollister came home in another
car, driving an Oakland to La Grande.
The rest of the party on the return
included Miss Ruth Ga.skill, Mr. and
Mrs. Neal, "Fat" Prescott and Mr.
Evans tho Overland agent in "these
parts."
"We spent an afternoon in Hood
River and a morning in Pendleton"
explains Mr. Evans, 'and stopped oth
er places as woll, taking our time and
our own leisure on the return trip.
j we tound the roads good going down
but on the return they were cutup
, and very dusty, although the road
over tk mountains is now in pretty
fair shape. Our cur ran in excellent

cooling qualities on the long grades."
While in Portland Mr. Prescott had
his Willys-Knight equipped with wire
wheels, and he has found them to be
satisfactory, easing tirp changes and
improving riding cpialities. if his
party was going to Portland again

list and now they are gone and he his

!the unusual demands for them. This

ceptional rush, he will "tie able to ac

Black has seen this demand for tents
grow from a nnltrv dozen to more
'than can well be provided, in three
or tour years. Mr. Black has also

It is desired by the committee in

breaking camp on that day, if it is
possible to do so.
The fewer scruples a man has the
