Both have strong entries in the Blue Mountain league, and a close, hard-fought contest seems certain, fans say. La Grande Is fighting to close the eeason with no further defeats, hope ful that someone may nick Baker's record and thus give this city's team a tie for the title. Union, now In the cellar with four straight losses, Is hopeful of belting La Grande strong enough to break into the win column. The tentative lineup for tomorrow's game follows : Courtney, pitcher Woodle, catcher; Stotler or Sullivan, first base; C. Wilson, second; Hyde, short; Evans, third; D. Wilson, left field; Hall, right field; Cochran, cen terfteld. There Is some doubt, how ever, whether . Cochran will be able to play and if not another change will be necessary. Both infield and outfield showed up well In a stiff practice last night, and the players are confident they will be able to take Union into camp Sunday.
