Impossible as the funds were needed

officials, with the third member of
the state board, Rufus C. Holman, at
tempting to act as an arbltarator,
was precipitated Just as the board of
control was adjourning at noon to
day following transaction of routine
business. ,
-During the license discussion the
governor called the board of control
back into session and moved that an
I Independent auditor be named to
I audit the books of the department of

kind was not ordered because Hobs
requested none be taken before the
primary election. Hoes denied he
made this request. - ' -

The motion for such an order pass
ed, with Hoss refusing to vote. The
secretary of state declared the move
was made by the governor to em
barrass him and were It done In a
fair manner he would not oppose the
action.
"This is Just another move on your
part to embarrass me," Hoss charged
the governor. "What's the matter,
don't you want me as secretary of
state?" he asked.
"Not if you refuse to co-operato
with state officials In operating an
efficient government," tho governor
retorted.' "And before I get through
with this fight I will Issue a state
ment showing how much you havo
refused to do In operating an effi
cient government, and how many pro

"I've done as much as any mem

tho taxpayers' money," Hoss answered.

La Grande
Eagles Beaten;
Junior Leaguers
Are Nosed Out
La Grande's baseball team played
two contests here over the holidays
and came out on the short end of the
scoring In both. Sunday afternoon
tho La Grande Eagles took a 17 to 1
blast -on -the -eh in from the Pleasant
Grovo grange team, and Monday af
ternoon the American Legion Junior
leaguers of Pendleton nosed out the
La Grande Juniors by a score of 12 to
11 In ono of the most exciting and
well played games that has been scon
here this season.
The Junior league game was wit
nessed by a crowd of more than 500
people who gathered at the High
school field to see tho several pre-1
game contests that were put on under I
the auspices of tho legionnaires and a
thrilling ball game. Knezevlch, La
Grande hurler, found himself In hot
water from tho very ' start of the
game when seven Pendleton batters
faced him In the first half of the
opening inning, nicked him for three
hits, and scored three runs. In the
last half of the first Inning La
Grande came back and walloped Web
er, Pendleton's hurl or, for four runs,
and continued tholr batting streak
through the third framo when the
scoro stood 6 to 3 In favor of tho
local lads. Weber was forced from
the mound in the third frame be
ing replaced by Met?, who held his
opponents to three runs during tho
remaining six Innings, while Kneze
vlch weakened and permitted nlno
more runners to score.
Rally Fulls Short
Going Into the last half of the
ninth frame with tho score against
them 13 to 0 the La Grande lads
staged a rally that very nearly won
the game for them. Knezevlch struck
out. Frlzzell hit safely to right field,
stolo second and scored from there
when Irwin plastered a single past
shortstop. Irwin then scored from
second on a bad throw to second
base by Catcher Jenkins, which went1
to center field. Howell hit an easy
roller to second and was thrown out
at first by the last play ot the game
Parade of lliirlera
The Sunday afternoon game which
tho La Grande Eagles lost to the
Pleasant Grove grange was interest
ing only for the first Inning1 or two'
after which the farmer lads got their
batting eyes to working and walloped
one pitcher after another from the
box until "Red" Courtney went In
to take over tho mound duties for
the local team In the sixth Inning.
"Red" had been on the mound in
tho third Inning but had no success
In stopping the Pleasant Grovo boys
from parading around tho bases. He
waB able to shut them down, howover
when he was put back on the mound
In the last four frames. The Eagles

Borah's friends in Washington, how
over, believed tho Senator's answer
would be In the negative. He has re
fused to support President Hoover for
ro-electlon because of the Republican
resubmission plank, but he has re
peatedly said that economic issues
wero predominant and the prohibi
tion question was a poor basis for a
successful third party.
Bishop James A. Cannon of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South,
was present. He said he was here
principally to seo his son, Major Rich
ard Cannon, a delegate to the con
vention from California. The young
er Cannon Is a candidate for election
to tho house from his home state.
Tho major parties were scored at a
mass meeting last night for their
prohibition stands. Colvln said, "the
Republican wet plank moans that Mr,
Hoover who approved It and whose
close associates and appointees draft
ed It and whoso advisers promoted it
in the convention Is the most con
spicuous turn-coat since Benedict
Arnold."
