' While La Grande is idle tomorrow
Baker and Cove will cross bats at
Cove in a decisive game. At present
Cove leads Baker by one half a

margin.
Whether Cove or 'Baker breaks

the Pirates. If Baker and Cove
break even, La Grande can, by win

have a chance fcr the championship

Quite a number of La Grande peo
ple will probably motor to Cove to
