La Grande May
Bid For O.-W.
Meet Next Year
Intercity .Events Sunday
Gives Impetus to Plan
System Meet . Might be
Obtained' Later.
An a result, of the Port land -I u
Grande O.-W. athletic club meet
hese lat Sunday, sentiment in i,a
Grande Is favoring an attempt to
secure the 1U3L unit elimination
track meet, with the . possibility
that later n bid will be entered for
the I'nion Pacific system meet.
The unit elimination meet would
bring about 2'u contestants to this
city probably during the month of
July next yeur If it can be secured.
The La Grande plan . favors
grouping of all of the contests for
the ono day, rather than having
them more or less scattered, as
they aro at present. Arrangements
have already, been made for the
lititli eliminations, one uf which was
held - here . last Sunday when the
Portland, baseball team eliminated
La Grande's nine.
If successful, the1 city would
then 'bo 'In a position to ninke; a
strong bid Tor the, system meet, an
official of tho club said today.
Tho system meet has never been
held or. the O.-W. unit as yet al
though every other unit of the I'.
P. system, has nerved as host. The
system meet brings about GO 5 con.,
lestauts togelher, from western
states, and the city that is host
received a tremendous amount .of
publicity in these, states. .Last year
I lie gate receipts for the system
meet, held at llolse. amounted to
J9.000 and a total of 110 Pullman
cars arrived for the meet, with one
or two special trains from every
unit of the. system. The parade
