Shall Pendleton play ball next sum
mer or does the town again prefer to
remain upon the sidelines while Walla
Walla, La Clrunde, Athena and other
places get Into the game and draw
the crowds? This Is a question that
is now being asked frequently and the
question of a team for Pendleton Is
being seriously considered by local
fans. That there should be a team
by all means, provided grounds can
be secured at proper rates. Is the
common Judgment.
George D. O'Connor, who for two
years past has been the moving spirit
in Walla Walla fandum, was In the
city several days ago and he express
ed a strenuous hope that Pendleton
have a team this year.
"This town Is our best drawing
card," suid he. "Two years ago, when
you had a team here the Walla Walla
team finished the season with $900
profit. Last year we lost 1600 and it
is mainly because we could have no
games with Pendleton. There Is no
reason whe a Pendleton team will not
pay and It would be a beneficial thing
to the business interests as well as to
the other towns having teams. I
would like to see your Commercial
association take hold of the matter
and arrange for a creditable team.
With proper management It cannot be
a financial failure."
Gym Management Suggested.
Others have also proposed that a
team be organized under the manage
ment of the Commercial association,
as was done two years ago. At that
time the nine finished a season under
the management of Carl Cooley with
a creditable cash balance. It Is said
by those who know that with proper
luck several hundred dollars could
be easily made during the ball season
During the past it has been a con
stant struggle for the gymnasium
committee to make the revenue de
rived from the gym meet the expenses
connected therewith. It has been
founl 'ihsolutely necessary to raise
money from outs.ide sources In order
to make up the deficit. To this end a
Keal talent entertainment will be
given early in February.
The proposition of backing the bull
team has been already discussed by
tlie eyirtn.i.Mutn committee and by
otitis in the Commercial association.
t t'ie Jnnuery meeting of the com
mittee th-? proposition will be form
allv presented. Should It be decided
to take the matter up a suitable man
ager will be chosen and he will be
given authority to proceed with the
gathering of a team.
New Law Firm Offlclng In the Asso
elation Building.
Stlllmnn & Prultt Is the name of
the latest legal firm In this city, and
It was created this forenoon when A.
D. Stillman and W. C. E. Pruitt en
tered Into a partnership for the pur
pose of practicing law. The offices
used by the new firm will be the same
as those formerly occupied by Still
man & Pierce and of late by Mr.
Stillman alone. Mr. Pruttt has va
cated the quarters he has had in the
Smith-Crawford building.
"It Is my Intention to continue Pen
dleton as my residence," said Mr.
Stillman, when asked as to his per
sonal plans for the future. "I have
a number of Interests here outside of
my legal practice, especially In con
nection with the cold storage plant.
and these, in addition to my legal
work, will make It necessary for me
to spend much of my time here. But
I will also have to devote some time
to the property I have purchased In
Montana, though I do not expect to
be absent more than I have been In
the past."
Mr. Stillman is still the chief legal
adviser for the order of Women of
Woodcraft, and Is likewise one of the
head managers of the Woodmen of
the World.
In the future Mr. Prultt will give
his entire time to legal work and will
care for the regular business of the
office. He has Just entered upon the
practice of his profession and ca
demlcally is well prepared for practice
having studied law for two years at
the University of Iowa and for one
year at the University of Oregon law
school. He Is one of the few local
attorneys having the degree of bach
elor of laws. In addition to this he
has the advantage of much valuable
experience by reason of his Journal
istic work.
