The Kn-s-nela Invinci-hles suffered n crushing JoTtftV ;iV the hands of I he Meacham ftui"j team, August 1,'!, t'.Mi!, when the 'vra Vi-aiun dashed on the Kamela din rrftimvk (?) anil "Pride of the Woods" ljjys ra-i iijj the score, 11 to 3, much to the utter consternation of the In-vim-ibles (in name only). Just here we would add a word about the dia mond. It was certainly an "uncut" Item and n poet would describe it as a "Held with verdure clad." However, to numerous causes may lie ascribed the defeat of our oppo nents, among them being the absence of their manager and mascot, Wetzel, and then, too, their heavy hitters were unable to find the tricky balls which Pitcher Ulrich served to all comers. However, in due justice to Kamela we will say they played right man fully after the first inning when a puncture was put in their inflated pride. Hut aside from the friendly rivalry of the game, Meacham will not soon forget the kindly treatment accorded to their players and the rooters who accompanied them. A return game will be played on the Meacham 1.4 HI ft rt I H LEIGHTON'S GARAGE La Grande, Oregon. The Garage of Satisfactory Service ' JL.
