WINS TITLE IN UNION STAKE BAKER, Ore., Mar. 2 Scoring two points to Union's one In two three minute overtime periods, the Baker M. I. A. basketball team of the L. D, S. church Cefeaied the Union quin tet by a score of 23 to 22 Friday night fn Union to win the cham pionship of Union stake in the final game of the tournament. The Baker team will be awarded the championship cup at the stake honor day program In La Grande. The La Grande first ward won the cup in 1020 and 1930, but lout per manent pos&eftsion of it this year.

Neither team made a count In the first over time period and three more minutes was allowed. Tom Hunt made a field goal for Baker and Wild, Union cen ter, scored a foul shot, leaving the count at 23 to 22. time battery-mate of Grover Cleve land Alexander. Is '. still manager, starting bis fifth term, but he has launched a radical program of re construction, designed to pull the Brownies out of the rut. This program's chief -feature is KUlefer's attempt to introduce Into major league company at least half, and possibly three-fourths of the "pony infield" that performed rec ord-breaking defensive tricks for the Wichita Falls club of the Texas league last year. j Trio l p for IHff Test Plucked from scattered points, kept under cover and drilled for faster ! company at the Browns' farm, the I trio up for the big test now are Shortstop Jim Levy,- rangy Jewish lad obtained from the Quantlco ma- : rines; First Baseman Irving Burns, Irish boy from New England: Second i Baseman Lin Storti, Italian product cf West Texas. . The fourth member of the quartet that set a flock of double play rec-i ords In the fast Texas league, in cluding seven In one game, was Wal ter Euller, a German, now with Mil waukee, v ( Burns and Levy have performed sensationally in the early workouts. Storti has been drilling well at sec ond but faces keen competition from the veteran Oscar Mellill, represent ing with the regulars this week. KrnvS to Plav Third With Levy at short. Ktllefer plans to shift the bard-hlttlng - Ralph Kress to third base. If Burns makes good at first, it will mean the pass ing from active duty of Lu Blue, lor years one of the league's best, first sackers. The veterans, however, will be kept so that two complete in fields will be available. The club needs more outfield punch. The big gun is the veteran Goose Goslin. who laid aside his golf sticks this week for bis bats. Kille- : fer expects the Goose to hit at least &0 home runs, even with the new ball In use. The Browns nave not yet received the new ball for test ing. Fred Schulte probably will hold down centerfteid but be will have to battle Earl McNeely. Perhaps the best looking prospect for right field is Larry Betiencourt, former St. Mary's Ail-America u center, who batted .320 and hit 43 homers with Wichita Falls last season.

But in 1930 it was considered strik ingly unusual when it occurred in the dry est part of the state and on l an upland farm. Billy Reynolds.
