I Doubleheader To Be Monday Rain halted the baseball game yes terday between the Imbler ami Prair ie City .scouts juvenile teams, sched uled to play at Imbler in the morn ing. Two games yet remain to be played before the championship ser ies has ended and they are now scheduled for 1 :;!0 o'clock Monday afternoon- If Imbler takes but one game of the doubleheader she wins the championship but it looks, from present appearances, as if she stands a good chance tc make a clean sweep of the series. To say that the Imbler and Prairie City scouts play fast ball is no pre varication. Good pitching, good hit ting, snappy fielding, and lots of strategy are not lacking and unless one witnesses one of the games one little realizes how fast the two teams are. If any fan likes tc see a real hall game he can very easily do it by visiting Imbler next Monday af ternoon and buying tickets to the tloublehea.ier. Should Imbler win the series she will likely play the Gresham, Ore gon, juveniles for the state championship. nnr rinitn nmnin tit HM UHb H LARGE BUSINESS 1 4 Trackmen Get Letters fourteen members of tho Lu Grande Jiiyh school track ami field learn were awarded official let I era this year.
