Three strenuous days for the El
gin ball team, and an equal number
of exciting contests, ' will make up
the baseball program for the Elgin
I celebration. On Sunday tho Cove
team and Elgin mix In a regular
Intermountam League game. .
Who will win T If. you usd in
Elgin fan, Elgin will. If you hail
from Cove, Cove .will. If from
neither of tho two places, you will
place your simoleons with care. If
tncre is anything in this world that
Manager lvar Simonson and his
trustees want to do, it is to clean up
on Cove. On tho other hauiit don't
think for a minuto that Covo isn't
anxious to:clcaR0up tho season with
but one defeat. Will it bo a ball
game? ' Probably!
On tho Fourth Lostino will com?,
out from Wallowa county with most
of the scalps of that county bleeding
from her belt, and .the contest will
become an inter-county uffair. Fest
game booked again!
On Tuesdav tho old-time rivalrV
betwec'Y La Grande and Elgin will
be fanned up to scorching he.it in an
exhibition contest.. A big crowd of
La Granders is expected to go down
to holler for the visiting aggrega
